Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 710 - New Year's Gifts

"They all came to wish us a happy new year and meet you," Aiden said calmly.

"Just tell them to go home today, I don't want to meet them. If they really want to meet me, tell them to come to Iris on Valentine's Day," Anya replied indifferently.

In the past, everyone ignored her. But now that she changed name, they immediately flocked to her.

There was nothing wrong with taking advantage of such people.

"Do you want to sell them your perfume?" Aiden asked.

"Iris' new Valentine's Day edition is very limited. Only a few of them can get it. But Iris will also hold an auction," Anya winked at Aiden. "What do you think of this idea?"

"Why didn't you tell me that you have such a great business idea?" Aiden smiled as he stroked Anya's head.

"When I used to sell flowers, I was very good at bundling prices. You don't know because in the past, I only dealt with small amounts of money," said Anya with a mischievous smile. "Those people now know that I am the daughter of the Pratama Family. Let them rack their brains and find a way to approach me."

"I will send them all home then. You can take a shower first. After that, we will go to my father's house together with Arka and Aksa," said Aiden.

Anya just remembered that they didn't bring Arka and Aksa to meet Bima and Maria ast night because it was too late.

After breakfast, Aiden and Anya left together with their twins.

When they arrived, Nico and Nadine were already gathered there. Ivan was seen accompanying Bima playing chess, while Raisa was helping Maria in the kitchen.

Since Raisa liked Ivan, she tried hard to please Bima and Maria so she always helped them.

Even though she used to be a spoiled girl who couldn't do anything, Maria patiently taught her to work in the kitchen with her.

"Dad, Brother Ivan, happy new year!" Aiden said.

"Aiden, hurry up and bring Arka and Aksa in. Don't let them get cold outside," Bima immediately left his chessboard and went to see his twin grandsons. It just so happened that it rained so the air was quite cold  this morning.

"Dad, Brother Ivan, happy new year..." Anya came into the house smiling.

"Happy new year to you too," said Ivan.

Bima replied to Anya's greeting and was immediately busy playing with his new grandchildren. His fierce face immediately looked funny when he met with the two tiny babies.

"I'll help Sister Maria then," Anya took off her jacket and went into the kitchen, just as Maria was busy arranging the servants.

"Sis, happy new year!" Anya walked up with a smile on her face. "What can I do for you?"

"Anya! Happy new year to you too. You came on time. How about you help Raisa make a fruit salad?" Maria was very busy right now, so she didn't have time to teach Raisa.

Raisa didn't even know how to properly peel and cut fruit.

"Raisa, please help get the plates and bring them to the table. There are too many people in the kitchen," said Anya.

"Raisa? I am your future sister-in-law!" Raisa said angrily.

"Still a candidate. Come on, hurry up," Anya laughed, teasing her.

Raisa could only stomp her feet in annoyance.

Maria laughed to hear Anya teasing Raisa. "Now Anya is no longer a member of the Tedjasukmana Family. Her name has changed to Anya Pratama," she said, reminding Raisa.

"I understand it, sister. I'll go out first," Raisa came out carrying a plate and some fruits.

Anya started peeling and cutting apples, pears and then mangoes. Her fast and accurate hands made Raisa dumbfounded.

"How can you be so good at everything?" Raisa asked enviously.

"I wasn't born and could do all of this right away. I've learned a lot and used to do it since a long time ago," Anya replied casually.

"Everyone on the internet says that you are the luckiest woman in the world. You got the best husband and family. You can also achieve your dreams and do your dream job. How can your life be this fun?" Raisa said.

"Do you also think I'm lucky? Those people don't know how my life was before, but you do," Anya replied calmly. She put down the knife and mixed the mayonnaise sauce into the fruit slices. After that, she told Raisa to taste it.

"It feels just right," said Raisa.

Anya then washed her hands and asked, "Sis Maria is busy right now and doesn't have time to teach you. Why don't you just chat with Nadine?"

"I made fun of her in the past because she liked my brother, so..." Raisa said shyly.

"Nadine doesn't care about it. She is happy with Harris now. You will be her aunt later so you have to mend your relationship with her," said Anya.

For the first time, Raisa listened to Anya's words.

In the past, she would always think of herself as the most righteous and that others were wrong. She did not want to listen to what other people said. Let alone Anya, someone she used to think of as unworthy of respect.

But when Raisa became part of the Atmajaya Family as Ivan's fiancée, it was Anya who made her feel calmer. She only knew Anya in the family. Her presence made Raisa feel more welcome in this family.

After washing her hands, Anya returned to her car and took a perfume for Raisa.

The perfume was a limited edition for Valentine day. Anya had prepared a new year gift for every member of her family.

"This is for you. Use it well," Anya said, giving the perfume to Raisa.

Meanwhile, Bima was seen playing with Arka and Aksa. But at the same time, he could also see the whole situation in the house, including the interaction between Anya and Raisa.

He felt very happy to see his two daughters-in-law have a very good relationship. He could also see that Raisa really loved Ivan and was trying hard to change for the man she loved.

When lunch time arrived, Nico, Tara, Nadine and Harris who were chatting upstairs finally went downstairs.

On the first day of the new year, the Atmajaya family gathered and shared their meals together.

Anya's mood seemed much better after Aiden decided to take action against Jessica. She looked much calmer and enjoyed her lunch happily.

After eating, Aiden told all of his family that he would take Anya, Arka and Aksa on a vacation on the island for a few days.

"Tomorrow afternoon, we will meet my father and mother first before leaving," said Anya.

"Go. Aiden worked really hard last year. It's time for him to rest with his family." Bima knew that last year was not only tough for Anya, but also for his son.

Unlike Anya, who could express all her feelings freely, Aiden used to bury all the pressure he was experiencing deep inside his heart. No matter how much suffering he felt, he could only keep it to himself.

Indeed, Aiden was a strong man. But he was also human. He needed some time to relax and get away from all the problems.

...

In the evening, Anya and Aiden came home with their two sons.

Arka and Aksa's caregivers sat in the back seat. Aiden drove the car and Anya sat in the passenger seat beside him.

But not long after their car left the Atmajaya Family's house, Aiden pulled over to the side of the road.

Anya looked at the man in astonishment and dismay. "What's wrong?"

The guards' car behind them also immediately stopped when Aiden stopped.

One of his bodyguards instantly got out of the car and approached Aiden. He stood at the doorway respectfully, waiting for further instructions from the man.

"Anya, let's move. Let my escort drive this car." Aiden said while opening his door.

As he got out of the car, he felt a sharp pain in his knee, making him grimace because the pain was unbearable.

He pretended to pat the guard on the shoulder, but he put all his weight on him. The bodyguard immediately knew something was wrong with Aiden and helped hold his body.

"Don't let Anya find out!" Aiden said in a low voice. "Drive carefully."

"Yes sir!"

Aiden stood at the door for a moment, waiting for the pain in his knee to subside. After a while, he walked towards Anya calmly, took her by the hand and got into another car.

Anya didn't know what happened, but she tried to calm herself down. She tried to open a conversation with Aiden so that she wouldn't feel too tense.

"Earlier, my father gave a new year gift to Arka and Aksa. He said this is their first new year so he hoped it could bring good luck to them."

"Do I also need to give our sons some gifts?" Aiden asked on purpose.

"Of course! How much do you want to give to the twins?" Anya asked.

"100 million," Aiden replied.

Anya immediately turned her head in surprise. "Are you kidding me?"

"I'll give it to you tonight," Aiden said with a smile.

But that night, Aiden didn't give away the 100 million for free. He asked for "something" from Anya in return.

And that 'something' made Anya feel so sorry for it.

Anya saw Aiden's tall body approaching him one step at a time. Even without the man's touch, her body already felt very hot.

"Can't I refuse? I don't need that 100 million."

"You can't," Aiden replied with a smile.

He immediately carried Anya to bed and made love to her all night long.
