Chapter 426 - A Father's Love

"Anya, take care of yourself. Father is not well. I will come home first," Deny looked at his daughter with a smile.

"If you are not well, no one will blame you if you don't come. There are a lot of people in this place. What if you catch a disease?" The words that came out of Anya's mouth sounded cold, but her hands unconsciously helped to fix the jacket and scarf that was wrapped around the man's neck.

Even though the weather in November was not very cold, even a minor illness like the flu could kill Deny.

Deny answered with a smile, "Your mother has raised you very well. You grew up to be a kind and strong woman,"

"If you are not well, you will not be able to make money. What's the use of money if you don't have a healthy body?" Anya said, saying that Deny had to rest a lot.

"My companies cannot run without me. These are all karma I have to accept for making you and your mother suffer. God has punished me," Deny lowered his head in shame.

Anya didn't know what to say. She turned and looked at Aiden. Then Aiden said, "If you really feel sorry, it's better to take care of your health and do what's best for the people you love. Before it's too late..."

Deny's eyes sparkled as he looked at Anya and Aiden. "Yes, I'll take care of my health,"

Anya nodded and smiled back. "Be careful when you come home. I can't walk you,"

"There's no need to take me. My assistant will help me and my driver is waiting in front of the lobby. It's cold outside. Don't come out, you'll be sick," Deny turned to leave, but then he paused and looked at Aiden. 

"Aiden, even though my company is bankrupt, if you bully Anya and make her feel sad, I will not forgive you."

"I will always take care of Anya and take good care of her," for the first time, Aiden felt respect for Deny.

He was not angry because Deny threatened him, instead he felt happy because finally Deny showed that he cared for his eldest daughter.

Anya was deeply moved. Since childhood, the only thing she ever wanted was the attention and love of her father. At this time, she finally knew how it felt like to have a caring father.

"Father, do you want to go home? I'll take you to the car," Natali walked over to her father and immediately clung on in a spoiled way. "I want a new bag. Can you buy it for me?"

"You already have a fiancé. Why do you still ask me?" Deny laughed.

"I love your gift," Natali and Deny chatted with laughter as they walked out of the hotel. Anya watched their figure which began to disappear. She felt so jealous when she saw that father and daughter!

"Let's go home," Aiden reached out his hand to hug Anya's shoulder.

"Aiden, every child craves for love from their father. When our child is born, no matter how busy you are, you should take the time to accompany our child, okay?" Anya said in a low voice.

Aiden nodded. He knew how important a father's love was to Anya.

Seeing that her husband agreed, a smile appeared on Anya's face. "Let's go back. I can't wait for Tara to call me aunty!"

"You're really looking forward to this day," Aiden teased.

"Yes! I want to hear her call me aunt. There is no point in being older than me. After all, I'm still her aunt!" Anya's face was filled with pride.

At the venue, Nico took Tara around to greet the guests.

"Anya, you can't drink. I will get some water for you," Tara asked a passing servant for a glass of water and gave it to Anya.

Anya did not accept the glass and cleared her throat softly. "What do you call me?"

"Hah?" Tara didn't understand what Anya meant.

"Tara, you have to call her aunt now," said Nico.

"This is for you, Auntie," Tara looked at the smile on Anya's face. How could she erase happiness in front of her friend? She didn't mind having to please her.

Anya took the glass and drank it. Then she handed Nico and Tara a thick envelope. "This is a gift from me,"

"Thank you, Auntie," Nico took the envelope happily and put it in the bag Tara was carrying. "Your bag is too small," he said. Since so many people gave them gifts in person, Tara's little bag became full.

"What a prick. Do you want me to bring a sack for you?"  Bima warned.

Maria came carrying a bag bigger than Tara and said, "Just use my bag first, Tara,"

Nico immediately took his mother's bag shamelessly and gave Tara's bag to her mother. "Mother, please help save Tara's bag. There are many prizes in it. Don't lose it,"

"After you finish walking around, get out of here. I don't want to see you," Bima felt very embarrassed when he saw Nico's very childish attitude.

Today, the Atmajaya Family was truly humiliated. On the day of his engagement, Nico's future bride fled away with another man.

Nico also suddenly chose a replacement right away. He chose Tara, but Tara almost also ran away because she wasn't interested in him.

If Tara also left Nico, that would make him get rejected twice at the same time.

Luckily, this engagement party was able to continue in peace.

But Nico didn't care and looked happy when he received gifts from people.

How could Bima feel not ashamed?

Nico was so lucky that he was Bima's favorite grandson. If not, he might have been kicked out of the Atmajaya Family.

Bima snorted angrily. He looked away and found Ivan with Keara. Keara had been back for quite a while and had even opened a shop in this town.

However, Bima heard that when the Keara shop opened, Ivan only told Heru to send a bouquet of flowers. He didn't even come personally to congratulate his fiancée.

His fiancée opened a new business, but he did nothing. He didn't even make an appearance in the opening event.

Today, Bima had learned a great lesson. How could he dare to urge Ivan to marry? He was afraid that his family would be embarrassed again if Ivan's wedding failed.

Bima thought for a moment and then whispered to Maria, "Maria, why do I feel that Ivan and Keara's relationship is not that good?"

Then Bima looked at Anya and Aiden who were sitting at the family table. Their chairs were close together. And under the table, their hands seemed to be linked together.

Anya spoke excitedly, while Aiden looked at her with love. Shouldn't love be like this?

When he saw Ivan and Keara, Bima could not see the closeness between them. They didn't even want to look at each other.

"Actually, Ivan doesn't really like Keara. It was Imel who wanted support from the Pratama Family so she told Ivan to approach Keara. Before their relationship got too deep, they had separated because of Keara's disappearance. Of course Ivan's feelings will also disappear."

Maria looked at Keara in disgust and said, "Keara is not a good woman. Did you forget? A while ago, she deliberately spread rumors about herself and Aiden. I heard from Nico that Aiden was so angry that Galih lost a lot of money. After that incident, Keara finally didn't dare to do anything and was caged in her own house for several days,"
