Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 721
Advertisement
"Hmm… Agnes will join us later, she said she wanted to meet you. Sister Maria sent this shirt to you earlier and asked you to wear it," said Aiden.
The sleepiness that Anya felt immediately disappeared to thin air. She got up and put on the dress, took out her make-up kit from her bag and put it on.
"How do I look?" Anya looked towards Aiden to show her makeup.
Aiden nodded. "My wife is the most beautiful woman on earth. Do you need someone to style your hair?"
"No need," Anya braided her hair to one side and decorated it with a flower-shaped clip. The order was simple, but it looked neat and exuded her beauty.
Aiden looked at his wife in awe. She looked so perfect in his eyes.
"Come on down. Don't let them wait!" Anya took Aiden's hand and walked out of the hotel room together.
Before Agnes returned to Indonesia, Indah had already told Anya about her.
No one in the Pratama Family except Galih liked Indah because for them, she was only a substitute for the man's real wife.
Indah didn't really like the Pratama Family either. Her husband's family often took advantage of Galih and asked for help because the man never refused.
But no matter how many times she tried to tell Galih, that man never listened since he thought that family must help each other.
Agnes' parents died in a plane crash, leaving her an orphan. Over the years, Galih was responsible for financing all of Agnes' life expenses overseas.
Even though Agnes made a lot of money by herself, she still often asked Galih for some.
This time, Agnes returned to Indonesia and wanted to build a dance school.
It was obvious who she asked for help.
But since she was Anya's cousin, Indah still hoped that their relationship would remain good.

However, no one thought that Agnes liked Aiden and did not try to cover up her interest in the slightest.
Anya appeared at the Atmajaya Family dinner in a very beautiful dress, hoping that she'd make Agnes give up and slowly retreat from eyeing her husband.
If Agnes wanted to destroy her family, even if they were cousins, Anya would definitely take actions against her.
Anya and Aiden entered the VVIP room holding hands. Hana immediately rose to her feet when she saw her. "Anya, you are back!"
"Mrs. Hana, how are you? I hope everything's good," Anya said with a smile.
"Anya, when did you come home? Why didn't I see you earlier?" Bima's voice sounded a little cold.
Maria winked at Anya, hinting at her so that she wouldn't upset her father-in-law further.
"Father, I came this morning. There are too many guests, so I can't see you either. I even recorded the show earlier and took some photos!" Anya took out her cellphone and showed Nadine's photo to Bima.
Bima saw that the photo was taken in a very good direction. He also knew that Anya had indeed come from the beginning of the event. Seeing this, his anger immediately subsided.
He looked at the photos Anya showed one by one from several different angles. "Anya, these are great photos."
"The cell phone's camera is good and I also took a pretty good angle," Anya said humbly.
"Maria, look at this picture of you and your children. They are really good!" Bima gave the cellphone to Maria.
Seeing the photo, Maria smiled too. "Send the photo to me!"
"I'll send it to you, sister," Anya took the cellphone and sent it to Maria.
"It seems that all of you are not surprised. Do you all know that Anya is back?" Bima found that everyone apart from him and Hana seemed to have known about Anya's return.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry. I've been busy greeting guests so I didn't have time to eat," Nico showed a pathetic face, trying to help Anya by changing the subject. "Auntie has come home and our families have gathered. Let's eat!"
"What an insolent brat! All you ever remember is food!" Bima glared at his eldest grandson.
"Anya, your parents will arrive soon," Maria held Anya's hand with a smile.
Seeing the smile on Maria's face, Anya felt guilty for not being able to help her sister-in-law when she was busy. Maria and Raisa were the ones who took care of all these events themselves.
"Sis, sorry I can't help you to take care of this event," said Anya guiltily.
"Don't say that. You don't have to do anything. As long as you and Aiden are happy, I can take care of everything alone. I'm still strong!" Maria said, laughing gracefully.
Anya looked at Bima guiltily. She wasn't quite capable of being a good daughter-in-law. She would never be as good as Maria.
"Your sister-in-law is right. Everyone is uniquely different. You can make perfume, Tara is a doctor, Maria and Nadine are good at socializing. Nico has good interpersonal skills, while Aiden and Ivan have good management skills. We all have our own advantages and cannot be compared," Bima's words warmed Anya's heart.
"I understand, father. Thank you!" Anya said gratefully.
"There's no need to be grateful. We are all family," Bima smiled.
At the same time, Galih entered the room together with Indah beside him and Agnes behind them.
"Bima, I don't want to interfere with your family's dinner. I just wanted to introduce Agnes and go home," said Galih.
Agnes stepped forward and introduced herself gracefully. "Hello, my name is Agnes, Anya's cousin. I just returned to Indonesia. I'm going to live with my uncle and aunt. Nice to meet all of you. We'll see each other more often in the future!"
"Hmm..." Bima nodded and muttered softly to answer.
"The Pratama family has very good genes. Anya is very beautiful and her cousin is also beautiful," said Maria.
Indah laughed happily to hear Maria praising her daughter. "Your family is the same. Today, several people asked about Jenny," she said.
Jenny pursed her lips in annoyance. "I just want Raka."
Bima immediately glared sharply at her, making Jenny lower her head in fear.
"Okay then, I'll be home soon. I don't want to make all of you late for dinner. Bima, we have dinner together sometime! I'll go home first!" Galih looked at his daughter.
Anya immediately got up from her seat. "Father, let me escort you."
"Aiden, you too. Take your in-laws home," said Bima to Aiden.
Aiden nodded and accompanied Anya to take Galih and Indah home.
While waiting for the lift, Indah held Anya's hand gently. "No need to be afraid if your father-in-law is angry. I can see that you two are on good terms."
"I know, mom," Anya nodded and then looked at her father. "Dad, my mother has been coughing a lot lately. Please help me find a doctor, I will accompany her tomorrow," Anya added.
"I've called the doctor. Come back, don't let the others wait for you," said Galih.
"Agnes, sorry I couldn't talk to you much today," Anya said politely.
"There's no need to be overly polite with me, Anya." Then Agnes turned her gaze to Aiden. "Aiden, you have to take good care of my cousin."
However, it didn't end there. Agnes' eyes continued to stare at Aiden with awe, not hiding her feelings at all.

The Caring Dungeon
NOTE: I, as an 'author' am on a(n) (indefinite?) Hiatus. Without getting into too many details, the person who convinced me to write, who was my muse and my everything, is no longer in my life. I think about writing and I get physically ill and ache in ways that transcend the physical. I want to want to write, but I cannot find the energy. Life events, combined with apparently thin-skin when it comes to personal attacks on this platform, make it impossible for me. The messages, comments, and reviews I recieve(d) were so detrimental to my mental health that I've already removed one story from this website. This one remains up only because the criticisms located in this work are about my writing, and not personal attacks.I just felt like I should put something out there for anyone who is thinking about starting this story. It is not completed. I don't know that it ever will be at this point. I have lost my muse.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Not everything in this world is natural, and it's only natural to fear the unnatural. Fortunately for Manning, he was natural.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
