Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 771 - First Day Of Leaving

Anya immediately burst into laughter. "Is it that hard to guess, Nico? That means, Tara gave something to your medicine. If you don't take the antidote, you will feel the side effects. And you've been taking the medicine for three months. That means you are deeply poisoned and waiting for the drug to strike. So don't make Tara sad!"

"Tara, what have I done to make you poison me?" Nico almost cried knowing that.

"You didn't do anything wrong, but that doesn't mean you won't make mistakes while on set. I'm just taking precautions. You are young and you are easily tempted. I'm afraid you will cheat on me. Do you understand?" Tara said.

"You have to tell me, what are the side effects of this poison?" Nico asked anxiously.

"This poison will make you unable to do anything to other women. You'll feel nervous and have trouble breathing if you want to do something weird," Tara said.

Nico felt numb when he heard that. "But I'm going to film my first movie. How can I be indifferent to my coworkers? Do you want to switch all the female leads on set to male ones?"

"You can pretend, but don't laugh at feelings. Use your acting skills and don't fall in love with the female leads. Anyway, I told you you'd get nervous and have trouble breathing if you thought about anything weird. If you go to a hotel with someone, maybe you will die there."

Tara said it very calmly, but it really scared Nico to death.

Anya laughed at Nico and then said to Aiden, "Aiden, you're the uncle, don't you want to say anything?"

"If he cheats on his pregnant wife, he deserves to die!" Aiden said coldly.

"What did you say? You don't believe me, do you? Even my own wife didn't hesitate to poison me. Am I that untrustworthy?" Nico asked angrily.

"Yes," Anya answered.

"That's right," Tara nodded.

"When everyone doesn't believe in you, take a look at yourself and find out why. Do you understand?" Aiden ignored Nico, closing his eyes to relax on this rare day off.

Nico turned to look at Tara. "Tara, you poisoned me because you loved me and were afraid that I might do something wrong, right?"

"Right," Tara didn't deny it.

"I may be childish, but I promised I would change. I'll take care of you and our kids later." Nico kissed the back of Tara's hand and pulled her into his arms.

…

The next morning, Nico returned to town.

Aiden and Anya just woke up, while Indah had breakfast with her grandsons and invited them to play.

"Tara, let's have breakfast," Anya called out to Tara and saw her best friend sitting alone by the window, lost in thought.

Tara turned and looked at her. "Shouldn't I let him go?"

"Let him gain some experience," Anya consoled.

"I didn't poison him. I was just scaring him." Tara got up and walked outside accompanied by Anya.

"We all know. But Nico is too dense for that," Anya said with a laugh. "Did you see his expression yesterday? He was so frightened that his face turned pale."

"Nico may look stupid, but he is actually very responsible. Don't worry." Aiden also sat down at the dining table.

Tara silently looked at Anya in worry and Anya returned the look with a supportive gesture so Tara wouldn't be scared.

Indeed, Aiden looked so scary. But it didn't erase the fact that he was very kind, especially to his own family.

But that's only how Anya saw him. For Tara, Aiden was hard to approach.

Anya helped Tara to sit up and got a pillow for her waist so she could lean back more comfortably.

"Nico isn't here. Let us take care of you. Tell me, what do you want?" After Anya sat down, she immediately got a bowl of porridge for Tara and then took a variety of delicious food.

Tara laughed. "I want something delicious."

"Hmm… I also like the local cuisine here. We can look and try some later in the afternoon," Anya said happily.

"I have to go back tomorrow," Aiden said as he ate.

"Aren't your guards here? Mother also accompanied me. Don't worry, get back to work. I will take care of Tara," Anya said. She was clearly not afraid or traumatized by her kidnapping a few months ago.

"We'll be back at the end of the month," Tara said.

Aiden didn't want to separate from Anya, but Nico was filming right now. If he does not return to Atmajaya Group, all the work will be handed over to Ivan. Meanwhile, Ivan just got married and he's not in the mood to do his job.

"Imel died," Aiden said suddenly.

"When?" Anya was shocked to hear this sudden news.

"This morning," Aiden replied.

"She wants Brother Ivan and Raisa together. Now that they are married, Imel has achieved her wish. There's no regrets anymore." Anya took a deep breath. "Should we go back?"

"Brother Ivan said he wanted to keep this matter simple. We don't have to come," Aiden said.

"Is Imel really dead?" Tara asked suddenly.

"Tara, don't think like that. Brother Ivan would not do the same to my father," Anya knows Ivan very well. The man could distinguish between right and wrong, and he certainly would never do such a thing.

"Sister Maria said that father saw Imel's body and he was crying," said Aiden.

Imel had a special place in Bima's heart that he must have been sad when he saw her death. She had made many mistakes but Bima's love for her was a bit complicated. 

"We have to accompany our father often. He is old and lonely," said Anya.

"He already has someone," Aiden didn't say it clearly, but Anya could guess.

"I heard, Grandma Marsha's daughter doesn't agree that her mother wants to remarry. Is that true?" While they were talking, Tara had finished her porridge and was eating meatballs.

"If she doesn't agree, that's fine too. At least father can share a cup of tea and chat with her." As long as someone accompanied Bima, it didn't matter what their relationship was. It didn't have to be a wife, it could be a friend or a lover, as long as he's not lonely.

Aiden didn't say much. He also does not mind his father's relationship. But now, it turns out that the other party disagrees!

After breakfast, Aiden invited his children to play. It was rare for them to have a vacation like this. Enjoying the natural scenery made Arka and Aksa feel so happy.

The twins had just learned to walk. Strolling around the garden a lot made them able to walk more steadily and started running around.

When Aiden took them to play, Anya and Indah were seen accompanying Tara because they were worried that Tara would be saddened by Nico's return. After all, today was Nico's first day away.

However, it seemed that they were thinking about unimportant things.

After getting off the plane, Nico immediately sent a lot of messages to Tara.

He asked what Tara ate at breakfast and what she was doing. He didn't forget to send some photos to Tara.

Even though Nico wasn't there, Tara didn't feel lonely. She smiled as she held her phone, feeling that she and Nico weren't separated because she could see what her husband was looking at right now.

"Your smile is so sweet. You already missed Nico, huh!" Anya teased. "Nico is so overly confident. Look how many selfies he sent!"
