Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 971

"Alright, I'll be going home first. By the way, do you need my help to investigate the girl Aksa is referring to?" Raisa asked before she went home.
"No need. You are busy taking care of Arka and Sabrina's wedding. I've troubled you. Let me find out and meet the girl tomorrow. I wonder what kind of girl dares to lie to my son."
Anya and Raisa both agree that the girl who borrowed 1 billion from Aksa is a fraud.
As a mother, Anya feels that she is capable of handling this issue.
The most important thing right now is to ask clearly what really happened to Adrian and Bella.
After Raisa left, Anya sat on the sofa for a while thinking. She was trying to string words together, how to ask Adrian this without hurting his heart.
But before she could think, Adrian suddenly came home.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Adrian entered the house carrying a box of cherries.
Seeing the cherries, Anya immediately ordered her maid to wash the fruit and send it to Adel and Bella upstairs. The other half was served before her and Adrian.
When Aiden came back, he saw Anya and Adrian eating fruit together on the sofa.
"Woah, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Aiden asked on purpose.
Anya laughs seeing her husband teasing her. "Eating fruit will not make me fat."
"Cherry? Did Adrian buy it?" Aiden asked with a smile.
For twenty-four years, Adrian thinks that Anya and Aiden are his parents. Even though he already knows his past and true identity, he still considers Anya and Aiden as his parents. He's not angry and disappointed with the two of them.
According to him, Aiden and Anya are the best parents he could get.
To him, it didn't matter what their relationship was. What was more important was what Adrian felt in his heart.
"Dad, come eat with us," Adrian greeted him.
"I'll take one. You guys talk first. I'll go upstairs and take a shower." Aiden picked up a cherry and then went upstairs.

"Mother, it has been quite a while. Are you done thinking about what you want to ask?" Adrian looked at Anya with a smile.
Anya looks a little embarrassed because Adrian can clearly see that Anya wants to ask something. After that, she said, "I'm just too embarrassed to ask."
"Grandpa wants to set me up with Maya and force you? Is that it?" Adrian asked.
Adrian is a smart and understanding child. He could see that his mother looked doubtful and panicked so he knew that something was bothering his mother.
"Your grandfather did intend to do that and said it over and over. Who told you to be so amazing? Your grandfather doesn't want you to be snatched by a girl from another family so he wants to set you up with Maya," Anya said with a smile.
Adrian laughed at his mother's words. "I know this family has been very good at raising me from a young age. Grandpa wants me to repay your kindness by marrying Maya. What do you think?"
"I respect all your decisions. I just want you to marry the woman you love and live together forever with her. Forever is not a short time and being with someone you don't love can be very painful. You and I are blood related. I just hope you can live happily. There is no need to return the favor to me or the Atmajaya Family. If you want to return the favor, live happily. That will be the best for me," Anya said while holding Adrian's hand.
Her words touched Adrian's deepest heart. "I will live happily and marry the girl of my choice. I will live with her forever and have a family as happy as ours. I won't let you and dad worry about me."
Anya nodded in relief. "There is no need to listen to what your grandfather said. Let us take care of it. As long as we're here, we won't let anything happen to you. We won't let anyone look down on you."

"Thank you, mom. I heard that Aunt Raisa came today. Did she say something?" Adrian asked.
"What do you think she said?" Anya smiled and threw the question back at Adrian.
"Today, Aunt Risa came to the office to pick up Bella. I met her and greeted her, but she was very cold to me. Did she blame me for giving Bella too much work?" Adrian asked.
Anya frowned. "Did you give Bella a lot of work?"
"Bella is my secretary and I gave her the work she needed to finish as one. She also has an assistant who can help her and her job is relatively normal," Adrian tried to explain.
Anya immediately understood that the normal work Adrian meant would not be normal for a girl like Bella. It can be considered quite heavy.
Since childhood, Bella was pampered by her parents and never did heavy work. Her life was so easy because her parents spoiled her so much.
Adrian grew up under his two older brothers, Arka and Aksa. Since childhood, he was accustomed to doing any kind of heavy work. So, the normal work that Adrian was referring to must be very heavy.
"Bella is still very young. Even though I said I hope you can guide and teach her, don't let her get too tired. Your aunt is very protective of Bella and she is her only daughter. Arrange enough work for Bella and let her study. For other work, have your assistant do it," said Anya.
"I understand. No wonder my aunt looked at me with annoyance. Maybe she told you that I was too mean to Bella," Adrian laughed as he said it.
Anya patted the back of Adrian's hand with a smile. "You can see everything your aunt is feeling from her face. But she's actually not a bad person. She's just too impulsive today. Don't worry about it."
"Mother, did aunty say anything else?" Adrian asked again.
"Hmm… Bella is about to become an adult and you are too handsome. When I say this, do you understand what I mean?" Anya didn't say it clearly, but she was sure her bright son could understand her point.
Adrian suddenly realized. Raisa already knows his true identity. Now Bella works for him in the Pratama Group and spends a lot of time with him every day.
Raisa is afraid that Bella will fall in love with him.
"Aunt Raisa thinks too far. Bella only thinks of me as a brother. Besides, she also doesn't know about my identity. How could she…"
"Bella knows," Anya interrupted him.
"What?" Adrian was silent. "Aunt Raisa really can't keep her mouth."
Anya saw that Adrian misunderstood Raisa, but she didn't try to explain it. She didn't want to tell Adrian that it was actually Bella who was eavesdropping on their conversation when Anya and Aiden explained about Adrian's past in the study.
She didn't want to tell Adrian that Bella knew his identity that way.
Wouldn't that be embarrassing for Bella?
Anya recalled that Bella was still very young and Raisa couldn't educate her child properly so in the end, it was her who reprimanded Bella. Luckily, Bella did as she said.
Plus, she saw that Bella was trying hard to study. The work that Adrian gave her was not easy, but she never once complained.
"Careful. Bella is still very young and has not known enough about love. As an older brother, you have to teach her properly and don't let what your aunt is worried about happen," Anya felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable after saying it. "Adrian, I apologize for telling you this. I hope you don't blame your aunt."
"I understand that Bella is the daughter of the Atmajaya Family and the Mahendra Family. With such a family background, she could have found a much better man. I can understand that Aunt Raisa feels that concern. I don't blame her," Adrian showed a bland smile. "I'll pay more attention to my relationship with Bella and keep my distance from her."
