Chapter 538 - Waiting For
Anya could only stare at Aiden in annoyance. How could a CEO of a large company like Aiden lie and take advantage of a child like this?
"Aiden, you are very old, but you want to marry my little daughter. Shouldn't you have asked for my approval first?" Anya snorted coldly.
"I want to marry you," Aiden replied bluntly.
"That's great!" Nico immediately shouted, clapping his hands.
Anya glared sharply at him. "Nico, if you're done eating, just go home!"
Nico could only grin awkwardly and move closer to Tara without saying anything.
"Handsome uncle, if you want to marry Mom, how about marrying me too?" Alisa asked, looking hopefully at Aiden's face.
"But your mom doesn't want to marry me," Aiden pretended to look sad as he said this.
"Mama, do you want to marry this handsome uncle? Alisa really likes him and wants to marry him," Alisa turned to Anya and looked at her with a pitiful look.
Anya could only feel dizzy at Alisa's request. "Alisa, you can't marry this handsome uncle. Handsome uncle is all grown up. When Alisa grows up, Alisa will be a beautiful princess, while handsome uncle will be an ugly old man. Alisa won't like him anymore," Anya tried to persuade her patiently.
"Auntie, even if my uncle is old, he will still be a handsome old man, not an ugly old man like you said," Nadine said.
Alisa bursted into tears at the reply. "Alisa doesn't want handsome uncle to get old. This handsome uncle can't be old and ugly."
"Honey, don't cry. This handsome uncle will not grow old and will remain handsome forever. Don't cry!" Anya felt confused when she saw Alisa crying and immediately picked her up.
"Mama, Alisa wants to marry the handsome uncle. Help me…" Alisa leaned on Anya's shoulder and cried loudly.
"Yes, yes. Mama will help you," Anya looked at Aiden in panic.
"Alisa wants to wear a wedding dress and take a photo together," Alisa said, still not wanting to stop crying.
"If you stop crying now, I will help you," Anya had no experience in taking care of children so she couldn't teach her assertively. Anya could only pamper and obey all of Alisa's requests.
"Alisa is still very young and can't get married now. How about taking wedding photos first? After that, we can have a party," Nico suggested.
With tears still pooling in her eyes, Alisa asked anxiously, "Who will be Alisa's partner?"
"I," Aiden got up and walked to behind Anya, gently wiped the tears on Alisa's face. "But why does Alisa want to get married and wear a wedding dress?"
"In a fairy tale book, a princess has to wear a very beautiful wedding dress to live happily ever after with her prince. Handsome uncle looks like a prince in a fairy tale book. Alisa wants to marry you, handsome uncle," Alisa said with a serious expression.
"This little girl has good taste," Tara laughed. "Anya, you don't think of your own child as your rival, do you?"
"Who told you that fairy tale?" Aiden smiled faintly when he saw Anya's flushed face.
"Mama told me about it," Alisa replied.
"You have to take responsibility for teaching bad things to a small child," Aiden said, teasing Anya.
"I just told her about what was written in the fairy tale book. Who told you to be so handsome and look like the prince in the fairy tale book tho?" Anya grumbled.
"What's wrong with having a handsome face?" Aiden smiled even wider.
"That's right. How could Aiden Atmajaya have made a mistake? You have to take responsibility for your promise to Alisa. You won't break your promise, right? You have to accompany Alisa this weekend," Anya said sarcastically.
She did not think that Aiden would really do it.
"Harris, cancel my schedule this weekend," Aiden said.
"Yes, sir," Harris replied.
"Are you serious?" Anya was just trying to persuade Alisa not to cry. She would find an excuse so that Alisa didn't need to meet with Aiden again later. But she didn't expect that Aiden would immediately agree and even cancel his job.
"Anya, you can't lie to little kids. We must always keep our promises," Aiden said with a serious expression.
"Mama, you said you want to help me, right?" Alisa looked at Anya pitifully.
Seeing Alisa's sad face, Anya felt her heart melt. "Mama will help you, Alisa. We will choose the most beautiful clothes and make you the most beautiful princess ever!"
"I love you mama!" Alisa hugged Anya happily and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Finally, Alisa stopped sulking. After eating, Diana accompanied Alisa to play.
Anya and Aiden returned to the dining table and continued their dinner.
In front of everyone, Nico suddenly asked, "Uncle, I heard that Keara is pregnant with your child?"
Anya also stiffened when she heard Nico's question.
"Do you think so?" Aiden didn't answer the question and asked back.
"I think there is no way you can think of aunt as her replacement. Was there a misunderstanding?" Nico watched Anya carefully as he said that.
Anya pretended not to hear all of this conversation and continued to feed the rice into her mouth. Without realizing it, she picked up the various fries that were on the table.
"Don't eat too much fried food. It's not good for your health," Aiden kept watching Anya so he knew how many fried foods Anya ate. Finally, he took the plate filled with fried foods away from Anya.
Anya could only purse her lips. She looked annoyed, but her heart felt warm.
"Give her more vegetables," Tara joined in.
Aiden immediately obeyed Tara's words and got some vegetables into Anya's plate. "Eat a lot."
Diana walked over from the living room and said, "You have to take care of your health so you can have children of your own instead of bringing someone else's child home,"
Aiden didn't say anything when he heard Diana's words.
Anya frowned even deeper when she heard everyone advising her. "It's a coincidence that today you all gathered, so I will clarify everything. First of all, I had no intention of giving up on my health condition. I will take all the medicine you gave me and take care of my health. Second of all, I have no intention of getting back with Aiden. These two years of misunderstanding have made me hate him and there are many things that shouldn't be repeated. Third, I do like Alisa but I don't think of her as a substitute for my child. I know what I want and what I do. I think my career is the most important thing right now. Getting married and having children can come later,"
Anya said it in one breath, she wanted everyone to stop misunderstanding her.
"I will wait for you," Aiden replied firmly.
"I support you uncle!" Nadine replied.
"Uncle, I also support you!" Nico joined in.
Harris did not dare to say anything, but he continued to nod his head excitedly.
"Anya, everyone in this place cares about you. I will do my best to heal you. My goal now is to heal you, so that you can have children later!" Tara said.
