Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"Father, if you didn\'t intend to match Nadine with another man, Mrs. Hana would not have asked Salim Mawardi for a favor. Harris is a responsible man. You also know him since childhood. He and Nadine love each other. It\'s better if we don\'t involve ourselves with the Mawardi family. What if people think that Nadine is married to Halim Mawardi? After all, no one knows that Harris is the son of Salim Mawardi," Aiden tried to warn of the worst case that could happen.

"Grandpa, I think uncle is right. Everyone out there knows that the Mawardi family only has one son named Halim. If the Atmajaya family announced their relationship with the Mawardi family, everyone would think that Nadine is married to Halim," said Nico.

​​

Nadine immediately looked panicked when she heard this. "Grandpa, we all know that Salim Mawardi came to ask permission to marry Harris to me. But what if his wife suddenly cheats us and forces me to marry Halim instead? What should I do? I don\'t want to marry another man..."

Harris held Nadine\'s hand tighter, "Don\'t worry. I won\'t let that happen."

Bima coldly snorted. "I will eradicate their family if they dare to do that."

"Nadine\'s reputation is very important. If Salim Mawardi does not intend to acknowledge Harris as his son in public, then the marriage between the Atmajaya family and the Mawardi family cannot be announced either," Aiden said calmly.

"Then, let Nadine and Harris get engaged first. After that, we can think of our next plan," Ivan had just arrived there. He could listen to his family chat from outside.

"Brother..." Aiden greeted him immediately.

In the past, his relationship with Ivan was very bad because of Imel\'s presence among them.

Aiden hated Imel for what she had done to his family, especially to his mother. He was afraid that Ivan would also turn like his mother.

But Ivan was different from Imel.

He wanted nothing from the Atmajaya Family, apart from family affection. He only wanted to be with his father and siblings.

When Aiden couldn\'t work at the Atmajaya Group, Ivan took care of everything without any intention of overthrowing Aiden from his position.

When he found out that Anya was in the hospital, Ivan immediately came to visit.

Ivan was a good man. No matter what his mother did, he was completely innocent and not responsible for her actions.

Indeed, Aiden had lost his mother and brother to a scheme. But all of that was Imel and Heru\'s doings. And now, these two had been \'rewarded\' for what they did.

From now onwards, the Atmajaya Family would become more harmonious.

So, when Ivan appeared at the door, Aiden greeted him immediately. He no longer acted as cold as he used to be.

Nico also got up and approached Ivan. "Uncle!"

Nadine saw the bouquet Ivan had brought and immediately helped him with it. "Auntie, Uncle Ivan brought orchids for you. Look, it\'s so beautiful."

Anya looked at the beautiful orchid with a smile. The bouquet was so big, she couldn\'t even count how many flowers were there. It must be very expensive!

"Brother Ivan, thank you. The flowers are so beautiful." Anya received the bouquet from Nadine\'s hand. Then, she deliberately asked her, "Nadine, do you know what kind of orchid is this?"

Nadine scratched her head and couldn\'t remember what kind of orchid it was. She often helped Diana take care of her garden and had seen the same flower before. But all kinds of orchids were very similar to her eyes. "I don\'t know. How many kinds of orchids are there in this world?"

"Of course there are many kinds of orchids in this world. This is a lunar orchid." Anya looked at the flower with sparkling eyes.

Ivan smiled as he saw the smile on Anya\'s face. Since childhood, Anya grew up surrounded by flowers. When it came to flowers, Anya understood them the best.

What made him even happier was that Aiden and Anya welcomed him very warmly.

Ivan felt like he was back in the past, when he became an older brother who would always protect Anya. This time, he had to protect not only Anya, but also Aiden, his own younger brother.

"Ivan, you\'ve come! Nico and Tara are still busy with their work and want to postpone their wedding even though the preparations are almost complete. Luckily, the invitations haven\'t been distributed yet. How about you marry Raisa first?" Bima said suddenly.

"Raisa is still too young. We don\'t want to get married too soon. We plan to…"

"Young? Raisa and Anya are the same age. Anya is about to give birth now, but Raisa still wants to play around. You\'re not young anymore either. Your younger brother is going to have children soon. Dad is worried about you," Bima said anxiously.

"I\'m engaged to Raisa only for Nico. I don\'t want Nico and Tara\'s relationship to end because of their scandal. Besides, Raisa doesn\'t love me either. If we get married, it\'ll be hard for us to live together while having no feelings for each other. We can end this engagement using my health as a reason like two years ago…" Ivan said.

"Ivan! You used your health to end your engagement with Keara. Now you also want to use the same excuse with Raisa. What will people think of you? Who wants to marry you if you keep going like this?" Bima was so angry that his breath felt a little heavy. If there weren\'t many people in the room, he might have hit Ivan with his walking stick.

Anya looked towards Aiden. With an innocent look in her eyes, she begged Aiden to help Ivan, just like he helped Harris earlier.

Aiden understood that gaze. But seriously, who told his wife to be this cute, making him unable to refuse her? Aiden would literally do anything for her.

"Father, marriage is a very important thing and will last a lifetime. If Brother Ivan doesn\'t like Raisa, don\'t force him," said Aiden.

"Grandpa, do you feel Raisa is suitable for our family?" Nico helped him too.

"Raisa is a good girl. Even though she is a bit childish, she can still be educated," Bima was actually interested in the Mahendra family background, not Raisa herself.

"If Raisa doesn\'t like me, will you agree to cancel this engagement?" Ivan asked.

"Raisa won\'t want to. She likes you," said Bima.

Ivan\'s face changed slightly at that. Meanwhile, Nico was immediately attracted to the new rumor. "Was Raisa the one who said it?"

"Irena said that Raisa works at Atmajaya Group as your secretary, is that right? She\'s sticking by Ivan\'s side, of course she will fall in love with him over time," Bima said with a smile.

Everyone in the room understood that Irena made the assumption, but that didn\'t necessarily agree with the truth.

A woman like Raisa would never like a quiet man like Ivan.

"Father, about these marriage matters, please respect the decisions of the parties concerned," Ivan said in a lower voice.

Seeing his son\'s increasingly uncomfortable face, Bima knew that this was not the right time to push him.

Initially, Ivan was engaged to Raisa just to clear up the problems caused by Nico. Now, if he was forced to marry a woman he didn\'t love, it really wouldn\'t be fair for him.

"Anya is still recovering. I can\'t go back to the company for a while. There are still many things that brother Ivan needs to take care of. Once Anya gives birth later, I\'ll be able to return to the company and help my brother. At that time, we can talk about his wedding plan," Aiden looked at Anya who looked tired. "Dad, there are too many people in this room, and Anya is getting tired. It would be better if she could rest. You also need to rest."
