Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 653

"Let me ask Raka directly," Anya was about to call Raka, but her hand stopped moving when she found Aiden staring at her sharply.
"Honey, why are you looking at me like that? You are scary," Anya put down her cell phone carefully. "I didn't mean anything. I just want to know how he is after this news is blown up,"
"As a pregnant woman, you should think only about your child, not gossip about your ex-boyfriend," Aiden walked over to her and immediately confiscated her cellphone.
Anya was pouting because her cell phone was confiscated. She was not happy, but she didn't dare to say anything.
…
Around 10 am, Raka came to visit Anya with flowers.
"I heard that you are going to have surgery today. How do you feel?" Raka gave the flower and sat on a chair beside her bed.
"I am fine. My children will be fine too," Anya replied, stroking her stomach. "How about you? I saw the news this morning."
Raka looked around the room, but he couldn't find Aiden. "Where's Aiden?"
"Aiden is currently consulting the doctor. He will be back in a moment. What happened?" Anya asked.
"I don't know Della. I only knew after Nico told me about her. Last night, we went to the bar and she came into our room to sell flowers. Nico told me that the flower girl was Della Mawardi, the adopted daughter of the Mawardi Family. When I was about to go home, someone bothered her. I didn't want to interfere at first, but she asked me for help. In that room, she said in front of everyone that she had run away from the house because of me. I don't know why it is all over the internet now. I'm so freaking dizzy," Raka said, looking frustrated.
Anya immediately laughed at that. "You are like a hero saving his daughter, huh?"
"There's nothing wrong with the story. The hero saves his daughter then lives happily forever. What's so surprising about it?" Aiden just came back from the doctor's room and saw Raka telling Anya what happened yesterday.

Raka explained everything to Anya, but she didn't care about Raka and Della's relationship.
Actually, what Raka should do at this point was explaining everything to his father and mother. If the Mawardi Family found out about this news, Della's adoptive mother might come to the Mahendra family and force Raka to marry Della.
"Why are you even mocking me like that..." Raka grumbled. He felt a heavy pressure coming from Aiden as soon as the man entered the room.
Anya had been married to Aiden for more than two years and they would soon have children. But Aiden still saw Raka as his rival up until now.
"Be careful with the Mawardi family," Aiden walked over and sat at the bedside, holding Anya's hand gently.
Anya seemed puzzled by what he just said and asked, "Do you have any ideas that you can share with Raka?"
"Aiden, please help me. Give me advice!" After being friends with Nico for a long time, Raka also learned Nico's way of begging his uncle.
Aiden wanted to laugh at the way Raka begged him, as if he was looking at Nico himself. But he tried to hide his smile and finally said, "In the past, the Mawardi family forced Della to wed their child, but Della ran away. Now, after hearing this news, they must want to marry Della to you and ask your family for a large wedding gift. Only by then their family will be happy."
"That's the problem. As long as my family can cooperate with the Mawardi family, they will definitely be willing to accept this marriage." That was why Raka didn't want to ask his father and mother for help.
His parents kept urging him to get married.
Aiden looked at Raka with a little pity and reminded him, "First of all, find out what kind of cooperation your family and the Mawardi family can achieve. Marriage can only be achieved if it's profitable. How about your family? What kind of cooperation does your family want?"
"My family wants the land belonging to the Mawardi Family next to my family's land. The area is not large so there is no need to develop the land together. Salim Mawardi used to want to buy my father's land, but my father refused." On the way to the hospital, Raka was already looking into all the possibilities that could happen.

Anya looked at him, feeling a bit odd that he could answer Aiden's question without thinking. She immediately said, "You didn't come to visit me, but to ask Aiden for advice," she said while narrowing her eyes.
Raka laughed at the accusation. "I came to visit you. But it's true that I also wanted to ask Aiden for advice."
"You seem to know what you want already. Did Nico suggest it?" Aiden already knew what Raka's intention was to come here.
He would not be able to get the land himself so he wanted to ask Aiden for help.
Raka nodded, he didn't deny that it was Nico who told him.
"Salim Mawardi is afraid of his own wife. It might be hard, but I can ask Harris to try to get hold of the land. If he gets it, I want you to invite Nico to work with you to develop the land." As an uncle, Aiden was a competent and compassionate figure. He tried various ways so that Nico was always involved in the affairs of the Atmajaya Group.
Raka immediately agreed. It's not difficult to work with Nico because Nico was his best friend.
If Harris could get the land from the Mawardi family, Raka didn't need to marry Della.
After Raka left the hospital, Anya looked at Aiden seriously, "Will that work?"
"It depends on which marriage Salim Mawardi wants," said Aiden.
"I don't understand..." Anya looked at her husband confusedly. "Don't twist your words. Explain to me!"
"In Salim's eyes, Harris is a healthy and smart boy. While Halim is hopeless, it's the same with Della running away from home. He has to choose whether to give the land to Harris, who intends to marry Nadine, or to Della as she's getting popular from the recent news with Raka," said Aiden.
Anya started to understand what Aiden meant. "Of course he would prefer the Atmajaya Family. Harris is much more reliable than his own son and the Atmajaya Family is much more respected. He will not miss this opportunity."
"But you forgot one important thing. Salim is afraid of his wife," Aiden replied. After explaining it to Anya, he immediately called Harris.
"The land you want," Aiden said simply.
"Do you want to buy it?" Harris was immediately stunned to hear it.
"Salim Mawardi came to the Atmajaya Family as your father, offering the land as a wedding gift. I asked someone to estimate the price of the land and it is quite expensive," Aiden said from the telephone.
Harris was silent to hear that. He did not want to recognize Salim or the Mawardi family as his family.
"Tell Salim that Nadine owns 3% of the Atmajaya Group. She also owns many properties under her own name. Getting married to the Atmajaya Family will be the best option," Aiden made it clear that Harris needed to make his move.
Aiden knew Harris was so stubborn and did not want to acknowledge his father. He preferred not to know the Mawardi family and yet he didn't consider that it could put him at a disadvantage.
Harris could have gotten the Mawardi family if he wished to, but he needed to calculate each of his moves carefully.
"I'll try it," said Harris.
"Why do you think your mother begged the Atmajaya Family for? She did it to protect you. The Mawardi Family, especially Salim's wife, is straight up cruel. Salim has failed you and your mother, and he must take responsibility for what he did. Prestige will not make your life happier, nor will it feed you. Just look at what happened to Jonathan for not daring to go against his family. In the end, his wife fell victim. You have to take a lesson from him," Aiden didn't say much, but his words really hit hard.
He believed that Harris would understand what he was trying to say.
