Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 723

"What's wrong? Why do you want to investigate my mother's assistant?" Anya asked.
"Your mother decided to live in the city, that's why the people around her must be trustworthy. I want to investigate her assistant for her safety too," Aiden answered.
Anya felt that her mother's assistant was a good person. She could do all of her duties very well and responsibly. Supposedly, there should be no problem with her.
But Aiden didn't want the slightest mistake. He didn't believe what appeared on the outside.
For him, it was always better to investigate everything in detail.
Plus, the assistant was Indah's closest person who would take care of all of hers and Anya's problems. That's why Aiden felt he had to be even more careful.
"You are more experienced than me. I will follow your advice," Anya didn't stop him from investigating Indah's assistant.
From time to time, Bima continued to look at Anya and Aiden. Seeing that they were still affectionate to each other and that their relationship was fine, all the anger in his heart immediately disappeared.
Even though there were some things that Bima disliked about Anya, she was still his daughter-in-law. Plus, Anya had given him two great grandchildren.
As long as his two grandchildren were healthy, Bima was fine with Aiden and Anya's relationship and quite satisfied with it.
Aiden had such a great responsibility to lead the Atmajaya Family that he ended up neglecting Anya. So when the man said he wanted to follow Anya out of town for a few months, Bima immediately agreed.
Think of it as their delayed honeymoon. After getting married, Anya and Aiden had never gone on one.
"Anya, if you kidnap Aiden and make him go with you. I won't have time to date Brother Ivan," Raisa said with a frown.
"Isn't there a rule at Atmajaya Group that you can't date while working?" Anya asked on purpose.
"I can keep my personal life separate from my work. When working, I focus on working," Raisa immediately tried to explain.

"Auntie, you don't need to explain it like that. That makes you even more suspicious," Nadine said jokingly.
"By the way, I have the hottest gossip. The day after yesterday, I saw auntie staying at Uncle Ivan's house," Nico said, smiling seductively.
Raisa's face immediately turned red. "Nico, don't be careless. It's not what you think."
"Then, what is the truth?" Nico was indeed the naughtiest in the Atmajaya Family. He even dared to tease his aunt.
"Brother Ivan..." Raisa immediately shook Ivan's hand, asking for help.
Ivan held Raisa's hand and said, "After Aiden and Anya come home, I will go to the Mahendra family and officially propose to you."
"You used us to postpone your proposal?" Anya said half jokingly.
"If you don't come back, I won't have time to prepare for my wedding. I don't want to disappoint Raisa," said Ivan.
Raisa looked at Ivan sweetly and said, "It doesn't matter to me."
Nico immediately closed his eyes. "Why do my eyes hurt seeing all this sweetness?"
Tara immediately took the watermelon on the table and put it in Nico's mouth. "You better eat it. Don't talk too much."
"Congratulations to uncle and aunt!" Nadine clapped her hands excitedly.
"Aiden, do you hear that? Don't take too long. Your brother's wedding cannot be delayed any longer. You already have two children but Ivan is still single," said Bima.
"Grandpa, aren't you single too?" Nico teased.
"This kid...! Do you want some beatings?!" Bima shouted to his favorite grandson.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. I often see Grandma Marsha coming to the house. Don't you have any relationship with her?" As soon as Nico said it, Bima immediately got up and said irritably, "I don't want to eat anymore. I'll just go!"
Maria immediately rose to her feet, smiling and chasing Bima. "You guys eat first. We're going home."
As soon as Bima and Maria left, Hana also intended to go home with Arka and Aksa, accompanied by Aiden's bodyguards.

"Please take care of my brother. He dared to make grandfather angry," Nadine said, looking at her brother in annoyance.
"I'm not guilty. If you don't believe it, just ask Uncle Ivan. It's him who stays at home the most. He also has more information than I do," Nico looked at Ivan.
"Brother, is what Nico said true?" Aiden asked.
"Aunt Marsha's son lives in Canada, so she is alone with her servants here. She said that she often met with dad when she was out for a walk. After that, they started getting close," said Ivan.
"Are they closer than just friends?" Raisa asked.
Ivan stroked Raisa's head and said with a smile. "I don't know."
"Grandma Marsha always smiled when she saw Grandpa," Nico laughed as he said that.
"It's true that love doesn't look at age," Tara added. "Should I also find a partner for my grandfather?"
"I have a great idea!" Anya got an idea. "I'm going to make an appointment with Aunt Marsha. And I will also invite Tara's grandpa to come home. Let the three of them meet."
"The love triangle?" Raisa exclaimed.
Aiden stroked Anya's head gently with a smile when he realized Anya's intention. "You naughty. Do you want to test dad's feelings?"
"Brother Ivan said he didn't know if they were just friends. Then, we can find out how he really feels," Anya said while looking at Tara.
"I understand. I will definitely do my job well!" Tara raised her hand and made an 'OK' gesture with her finger.
…
The next morning, Aiden went to the Atmajaya Group early in the morning. Meanwhile, Anya accompanied her mother to check up at the hospital because recently, Indah was seen coughing often. Meanwhile, Galih had been away since morning because he had something to do.
As Anya and Indah waited for the results of the examination, Indah took Anya's hand and said, "It seems your father has been hiding something from me for several months since I left."
"Don't think too much about it, mom. Maybe it's just a matter of work," Anya consoled.
"Three years ago, Agnes had a plastic surgery failure so she died. Your father said, Agnes's face was so damaged that he didn't hold a big funeral for her. At that time, my health was not good enough and I could not attend her funeral. But three years passed, and suddenly your father told me that Agnes wasn't dead. His face had returned to normal and he wanted to go home. Why did Galih hide Agnes from me?" Indah asked.
"Maybe it's because Agnes is famous. It took three years for Agnes to have her previous face. She must have suffered terribly during those three years. Father probably hid it because he was worried about your health. In addition, dad must be worried that Agnes will not be able to return to a normal life as before."
"No matter what her face is, her family will never reject her. Her parents are gone, it was a very sad fate, but they shouldn't hide all this from me," Indah said sadly. "Your father hid this matter from me..."
Anya laughed. "Mother, dad is worried about you. He didn't mean to hide all of this from you. Maybe he was just waiting for Agnes to recover and return to her family before telling you."
"Galih just doesn't believe me. Does he think I will hurt his niece? He even considers his nieces to be more valuable than his own wife and child. He received a call from Agnes earlier and immediately left us," Indah said in a low voice.
