Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 429 - New Neighbors

"Tara, from today on, you are part of my family. This is your engagement gift from Indah. Save it," Bima said, welcoming Tara as a new member of his family.

Maria immediately took out the box given by Indah and opened it in front of Tara. It contained a set of jewelry made of diamonds.

There were a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a sparkling diamond ring. One set of this jewelry alone was worth hundreds of millions of rupiah.

Tara's eyes widened with fear. Indah was Lisa's aunt. That meant, this jewelry set should be an engagement gift for Lisa. But in the end, this had to be given to her as an apology.

Even though the jewelry was very beautiful and expensive, Tara couldn't accept it.

"Thank you for your kindness, grandfather. But I can't accept such an expensive gift. Every day I work at the clinic and I can't use this. If I keep it at home, I'm afraid I'll lose it," Tara refused gently.

Seeing that Tara was completely reluctant to accept it and didn't even want to touch it out of fear, Maria finally said, "This is a gift to you, so it is yours. I'll keep it for you if you're afraid to lose it. When you go to a party and you need jewelry, you can come over to the house,"

"I..."

"If you are afraid to lose it, let my mother save it for you. It's late and time to rest. Grandpa Tirta, we'll take you home," Nico said, speaking up to help Tara.

"Where are you going?" Bima immediately prevented Nico from leaving.

"Tara and I will live in my own house, next to my uncle and aunt. That way, Tara can check on my aunt at any time. And I can also learn a lot from my uncle. Isn't that a good idea? 

Nico had thought of all kinds of reasons to get out of this house. He did not want to live in the Atmajaya family's main house forever, much less under the supervision of his grandfather and mother.

"Your uncle doesn't want to return to this house and now you guys are also planning to move. I will be lonely in this house," Bima said with a sad face.

Nico went straight to his grandfather and persuaded him. "Grandpa, don't be like this. We will accompany you to dinner every weekend. Grandpa Tirta can also come and accompany you. Besides, Tara and auntie are close friends. Who knows if Tara can persuade auntie to come home often. If she wants to come to this house, won't we also come?"

"That's right, Father. Tara and Anya are close friends. Maybe if Nico and Tara lived in their own house, they could persuade Aiden and Anya to visit this house more often," Maria replied.

Bima nodded. Maybe it was true what Nico said. It would be nice if Aiden and Anya came often. That way, he could see his grandchildren often after Anya gave birth later!

"What do you think, Tirta? Would you like to have dinner here every weekend?" Bima asked.

Tirta laughed at that. He was also an old man who lived alone. What's more, his granddaughter would no longer live with him now. He also felt lonely. "Okay. We can gather every weekend. I'll come during the day so we can play chess first,"

Bima laughed and nodded.

"See you on the weekend!" Nico couldn't wait to get back to his own cave.

As soon as Tara and Nico came home with Tirta, Maria immediately called Anya. "Anya, are you sleeping?"

"Not yet, Sis. Is there anything I can help?" Anya had just finished taking a shower and changed clothes.

"Nico and Tara will live next door to you. I'll get someone to send new sheets. Please tell Mrs. Hana to clean and decorate the house. Nico and Tara will sleep in different rooms. I set Tara's room next to Nico's," Maria said.

"Don't worry, Sis. I will ask Mrs. Hana for help. Nico and Tara were both busy at work. If they don't have time to cook, I will invite them to eat at home," Anya said happily.

Thinking that Tara would live beside her house, Anya was so happy that she couldn't wipe the smile on her face.

She'd got a new neighbor!

"Anya, don't think of them too much. Let them be closer to each other. Who knows if their feelings will develop."

"I know, Sis." Anya came out of her room, chatting with Maria. Hana immediately approached her when she saw Anya go downstairs.

''Nico really likes Tara. Only Tara can cure his childish and reckless nature. I hope they will get married," Maria said with a smile.

"I also expect the same," Anya also smiled as she imagined Tara and Nico's wedding. "Sister, Mrs. Hana is beside me. I'll give the cell phone to her,"

Maria asked Hana for a few things and then hung up on her.

After hearing the news, Hana and several other servants immediately went to clean Nico's house.

There would be some servants sent to clean his house every day. But because Nico lived alone, he didn't pay much attention to his house.

Hana could only make the house fresher by adding fresh flowers belonging to Anya in several places.

After a while, the house looked like new.

Hana sent a photo of the new look of the house to Anya. Her madame was very satisfied when she saw it and immediately sent it to Maria.

Maria continued to praise her. "Anya, Nico's house looks good now because of your help,"

"Sister, I didn't do anything. Everything is the result of Mrs. Hana's hard work," said Anya.

"Mrs. Hana said, the fresh flowers are all yours. Thank you very much! Next time, I'll stop by and cook for all of you."

"Thank you. Your cooking is really the best!" Anya laughed at that, making Maria laugh too.

The two of them chatted briefly before hanging up the phone.

Anya was just about to sleep when Nico and Tara arrived.

"Uncle, aunt, we've come," as soon as he came, Nico's voice echoed throughout the house.

Anya came out of her room smiling. Aiden also came out of his study with an annoyed expression. His forehead creased as he scolded Nico, "Why did you stop by here?"

"I've come to thank you," Nico brought fruit, while Tara held a pocket bag.

Aiden sneered seeing the fruits Nico brought. "Thanking me by just bringing fruit?"

"Uncle, I heard from Tara that you were looking for Lisa's lover and encouraged him to marry Lisa. If Lisa didn't run away, I might get caught up in an engagement that I didn't want. I don't even know how long it will take me to cancel the engagement!" said Nico.

"I promised you that if you get the shares, I will let you choose your life partner. I always keep my promise. After today's troubles, the Srijaya Family had cut ties with them and did not want to support them. You have to help Lisa and her lover. Without Lisa, you won't be able to get the shares," said Aiden.

Nico nodded repeatedly. "Uncle, do you know where they went?"

"Ask Harris," Aiden said impatiently. "It's late and your aunt needs to get plenty of rest. You guys go home,"

"Anya, my grandfather gave me a lot of food earlier. I want to share it with you. Your body is weak and low on blood, so I bring you meat, green vegetables, nuts, milk and salmon. All these food ingredients are very good for pregnant women."
