Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

Chapter 789 - Staying For You

"The situation was different with you back then. Jenny is too young and doesn't understand the meaning of love. Jonathan is also busy taking care of his work and Alisa. He doesn't have time to think about marriage right now," Diana said, comforting her daughter.

"I don't know what Brother Jonathan is thinking and I don't dare to ask. I'm afraid that he likes Jenny too," Anya said in a low voice. "Mother, am I being selfish?"

Diana laughed and asked, "Why do you think like that? After you marry into the Atmajaya Family, you also become a member of the family and have to think about what's best for them. While everyone thinks that Jenny shouldn't be with Jonathan, you should also think about the obstacles that are preventing them from being together. It's not that you immediately support them just because they love each other without thinking about the difficulties they will face in the future."

"Obstacle? Brother Jonathan is seven years older than Jenny and already has a child. In addition, he is the illegitimate child of the Srijaya Family. Meanwhile, Jenny has been pampered by her family since childhood, used to getting everything she wants. She just wants to pursue her true love…"

"How do you know that her love for Jonathan is true love, not just temporary?" Diana interrupted.

Anya took a deep breath. "Well, if the Atmajaya Family insists on sending Jenny abroad to see the proof of their love, just let her go."

If her love was true love, no matter how long they were apart, that love would not change.

Weren't Anya and Aiden also separated for two years?

After they met again, Anya still loved Aiden and so did he.

Right now, Jonathan was not ready to have a new love and Jenny was still very young, still not quite understanding about true love.

Jenny never contacted the man again after confessing her love and Jonathan did not contact her either.

…

Everyone gathered at Diana's house when Christmast arrived. The tree in the middle of the garden was decorated like those they saw in streets and malls.

Nico was rarely able to attend family events due to his busy schedule, so his arrival made the atmosphere even more cheerful.

Besides celebrating Christmas, they also gathered to celebrate Della's graduation. After graduating from college majoring in design, Della will work in her family's company. And in the near future, she will also marry Raka.

It was the first time Jenny had seen the two of them again.

However, this time, she was no longer jealous. She smiled sincerely, wishing happiness for Raka and Della.

"Jenny, bring me a plate of chicken wings. Your sister-in-law wants to eat!" Nico shouted at her.

"Does Tara want anything else? How about the squid?" Jenny said, standing in front of the refrigerator.

"No need. Chicken wings only. Let's hurry," Nico said.

"But I want some squid," Jenny muttered in a low voice. She looked at the squid, but didn't pick it up in the end.

It didn't take long for the grilled and seasoned chicken wings to be served on the table.

Today is a special day for Tara. Since her pregnancy, she has tried to maintain her diet and not eat unhealthy foods, including baked goods. But since it was Christmas today, Nico finally allowed her to eat anything.

Whatever Tara wanted, Nico would make it.

Ivan and Raka sat right in front of the grill, tasked with grilling with the help of the maid by their side.

Raisa and Della sat near them, looking at their partner full of love. It was rare for them to see their partner cooking like this. For some reason, their charms seemed much more radiant while in front of the grill.

Aiden and Anya were seen sitting under a tree chatting. They held a plate with several kinds of food.

Nadine and Harris helped in the kitchen in the house. Together with Hana, Diana also made various kinds of dishes.

Jonathan was feeding Alisa until she felt full.

"Dad, I'm full. Go with Sister Jenny. She'll go after this," Alisa pursed her lips reluctantly.

"You go and play. Be careful not to get too close to the oven or the fire," Jonathan stroked his daughter's head and let her go.

Anya immediately ordered one of her bodyguards to accompany Alisa and look after her.

After all, it was evening and everyone was busy eating. What if something happened to Alisa without them knowing?

Jonathan went over to the refrigerator and stood where Jenny had been standing before.

He saw the squid inside the freezer. Previously, he had only seen Jenny from a distance, not seeing the expression on her face at all.

But Jonathan could tell that Jenny really wanted the squid when she got the chicken wings for Nico and Tara.

Jonathan walked to the grill with the squid and asked the maid to give him some space.

"Uncle, the squid is fishy. Please don't get too close to the chicken wings. The smell will mix later," Nico quickly reminded him.

"Are those for Tara?" Jonathan looked at the chicken wings on the grill.

"Yes. She is pregnant so she is very picky about food now. If it smells a little fishy, ??she won't eat it. I'm sorry." Nico smiled.

Jonathan laughed. "Alright, I'll use another tray."

When Jenny came out, she saw Jonathan standing in front of the grill. However, she couldn't see what the man was cooking right now.

"Jenny, give these chicken wings to your sister-in-law," Nico said. Before Jenny could accept it and go to Tara's place, Raka approached her. "Here are some vegetables and salad, give them to Tara too. It's not good to just eat grilled food," he said.

Raka is Nico's best friend. Soon, his best friend will become a father. Of course, he also wanted to help him as a friend .

Jenny then looked at Jonathan. Sensing the gaze, the man smiled at her. "Come back here after this. I have something for you."

"Did you cook it for me?" Jenny's eyes immediately lit up.

Jonathan nodded.

Jenny immediately looked like a different person. All day she looks sad and gloomy because today will probably be her last day in Indonesia. But after hearing that Jonathan was cooking for her, she immediately cheered up.

Anya saw the sight from afar. "He knows that Jenny is leaving, but he looks very calm."

"Then what can he do? Taking Jenny out with him?" Aiden asked.

"That's not what I mean. I just thought that the person he likes will leave soon… Shouldn't he have reacted a bit..." said Anya.

"Jenny wanted grilled squid and Jonathan cooked it especially for her. There's no better reaction than that. That's enough," Aiden said casually.

Anya doesn't understand. Maybe it's a man's way of expressing himself.

Jenny brought food into the room and after that, she accompanied Tara to chat for a while. A few moments later, she came out again.

She went towards the grill and saw the squid she wanted. "How did you know I wanted to eat squid?"

"I saw you standing in front of the refrigerator for a long time. I don't know… I just think you want this. Turns out my guess is right," Jonathan picked up the grilled squid and placed it on a small plate.

Jenny accepted the plate with a big smile on her face. When she tasted it, she looked very happy. "This is delicious. I want more!"

"It's all for you," Jonathan said with a smile.

"I don't want to eat all of these alone. How about leaving some for Alisa?" Jenny loves Alisa very much. When she had a good meal, she immediately wanted to share it with the sweet little princess.

"When are you leaving?" Jonathan suddenly asked.

"Tomorrow," Jenny answered, looking at Jonathan with burning eyes. "If you don't let me go, I can stay here for you."
