Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 731 - Ringless Proposal

"Anya, I heard you had dinner here. I came to join you!" Agnes said from the front of the gate.

Anya's face immediately turned gloomy. She muttered, "I didn't ask her to come."

"Maybe she doesn't know it. I'll just tell her to go home," feeling uncomfortable with her current place, Jenny decided to get up.

"Let me. This dinner is supposed to be shared between members of the Atmajaya Family and their close acquaintances," said Della.

But Diana opened the door and invited Agnes to enter. "Just come in. I'll get a plate and spoon for you."

"Agnes? Come and sit down," Anya did not stand up to greet her.

Diana took another chair and said, "Agnes, sit here."

"Hello all. I am Anya's cousin. My name is Agnes. Nice to meet you," Agnes introduced herself.

Raisa took her chopsticks and stabbed the lobster on her plate. "This is a family dinner. Why is there suddenly a stranger here? Are you not ashamed?"

"Raisa..." Raka said in a low voice.

"I'm not wrong," Raisa looked displeased.

"Don't take it personally. Raisa is still very young. She used to immediately say what she felt before thinking first," said Anya.

"Am I disturbing you?" Agnes looked at them innocently.

"You have come. Don't keep on standing up," said Raka.

  Diana picked up a new cutlery and said warmly, "Agnes, sit down and have dinner together."

"Thank you, Auntie," Agnes sat down in her chair.

Jonathan's position was closest to Agnes so he took the food for her. Jenny immediately pursed her lips and looked displeased.

"Uncle, I want to change places with you!" Jenny got up and moved to Jonathan's right, separating him from Agnes.

Jonathan didn't mind it. For him, Jenny was just like Alisa, a young girl whose requests must be obeyed immediately.

When Jenny saw Raka helping Della peel the lobsters with jealousy, Jonathan immediately peeled the lobsters for Jenny and gave them to her plate. "Eat this. Don't look anywhere else," Jonathan said with a smile.

"I'm not jealous," Jenny muttered in a low voice.

Agnes didn't mind that everyone there didn't care about her. She offered to help pouring wine and was always friendly to them.

Alisa finished her dinner quickly and then left to play. Agnes left the dining table and helped Alisa to climb onto the swing.

"What does your cousin really want? I don't understand," from the start, Raisa didn't like Agnes and she immediately complained to Anya.

"Can't you see that she wants to join us?" Raka said openly.

"I've seen many two-faced women like her. Uncle, don't be fooled by her. You're the only reason she might've come here. Maybe she's after you," said Jenny.

"She didn't come for Jonathan. On Nadine's wedding day, Agnes kept looking at Aiden," said Raisa.

When she heard this, the faint smile on Anya's face didn't change at all. She didn't mind what they said and didn't take it to heart.

"She likes my uncle?" Jenny turned to Aiden. "My uncle is very cold and his face is very stiff. Apart from being handsome, there's nothing to like about him!"

Della immediately laughed at Jenny's chatter. Of course Jenny couldn't see why any women would like Aiden, because she was the man's niece and that she knew how cold and distant Aiden was. Jenny couldn't imagine liking Aiden because they were family.

"What are you laughing at? I'm not wrong," Jenny still hates Della because she likes Raka, but the man can only see Della in his eyes.

"Agnes wants to enter into our circle, that means there must be something she wants from us. I don't think she's after me, but you, Anya. She came for you," Aiden said after thinking for a while.

"I?" Anya looked at Agnes who was accompanying Alisa to play swing in the distance. She could not understand the way Agnes thought and what she wanted from her.

Everyone could see that she didn't like Agnes and was always cold to her.

But Agnes didn't care at all. She always tries to get close to her and wants to have a good relationship with Anya.

Actually, regardless whether Agnes is close to Anya or not, Galih will still help her. But somehow Agnes kept trying to approach her.

"Be careful," Ivan said with an unpredictable gaze.

Anya didn't pay any attention to Agnes during dinner. Everyone else didn't talk to her cousin either. After all, no one knew her closely. Only Diana occasionally invites her to talk. 

Anya took a deep breath. "Never mind, I'm too lazy to think about it. By the way, Raka and Della are getting married soon. Raisa, when is your turn?" She teased.

"I..." Raisa looked at Ivan with a blush.

"Brother Ivan, Aiden and I aren't going anywhere. You must immediately prepare your proposal," Anya said on purpose.

Faced with Raisa's hopeful gaze, Ivan suddenly said, "Maybe I better do it now."

"Right now?" Raisa closed her mouth in surprise.

"Uncle, you are too cool!" Jenny shook her head.

"Jenny, your uncle wants to propose to Raisa. Come on, help me take care of everything," Anya was afraid that this opportunity would just be missed. She doesn't want Raisa to wait too long. 

"Mrs. Hana, please help clean the table. My brother wants to propose to his future wife," Aiden shouted.

As soon as Hana heard that Ivan wanted to propose to Raisa, she immediately told the servants to clean the dining table. She also took out desserts and cakes, and flowers to decorate the table.

Diana and Anya immediately rushed to their garden and picked up roses. Della also helps them to clean the thorns and then wrap them into a nice bouquet.

Aiden's bodyguards rushed back to the house and took the decorations Nico had previously used to propose to Tara.

"Papa, what is everyone doing?" Alisa looked at the busy adults with confusion.

"It's a marriage proposal, honey," Jonathan said with a smile.

Alisa immediately shouted excitedly. "Wow, how romantic!"

Since there were only a few balloon blowers, Agnes immediately helped blow the balloon with her own mouth. Then, the small preparation was completed in no time.

The floor on the terrace has also been decorated with scattered red rose petals.

In less than an hour, the decorations on the premises were ready.

Jonathan is in charge of recording this sudden proposal with his camera, ready to capture the moment that only happens once in a lifetime.

"Brother, do you have the ring?" Anya suddenly asked.

Ivan was stunned. "Ring? What for?" He asked.

"Aiden, look at your brother!" Anya massages her aching head. How could Ivan ask what the ring is for?! 

What in the world is he thinking? Proposing without a ring??!!

"Do you think she will immediately accept your proposal even with a bouquet of flowers?" Jenny also shook her head.
