Harris was surprised when he heard Anya's words. Did Ivan find out about Aiden's condition?
Ivan didn't want to compete on purpose, not because he couldn't win, but because he didn't want to fight Aiden.
It was true that if he wanted to compete and take down Aiden out of his leadership, Aiden would never be able to stop him, all due to his physical condition.
And now that he had the support of the Mahendra Family, who would stop him next?
Aiden's condition would be revealed sooner or later. Nobody knew when he would suddenly pass out or lose his sight again.
"I don't want to compare Aiden to Brother Ivan. They are both amazing in their own way," Anya didn't want to know who among the two would win because she didn't want them to compete.
"All the members of the Atmajaya Family are great," Nico said proudly.
"Except you," Tara said on purpose.
"Tara..." Nico pretended to be sad as he leaned his head on Tara's shoulder.
"Ahhh my eyes!" Nadine couldn't see any of this anymore. She got goosebumps to see her brother acting spoiled like that. "Sister Tara, please kick out my stupid brother from here."
Tara immediately blushed when she heard Nadine call her sister. She patted Nico's hand and said, "Let's go. Don't disturb Anya's rest."
"Auntie, we will also go home," Nadine knew that Anya had just returned from her out of town trip today. She must be very tired.
"Madam, please don't get involved in the matters of the Atmajaya Family. Wait until Mr. Aiden comes back," Harris reminded.
Anya still wondered why Harris kept calling her madam.
All members of the Atmajaya Family also still considered her to be Aiden's wife.
She wanted to tell Harris not to call her that, but Aiden said they weren't divorced yet. The man burned their divorce papers before they could be submitted to the court so that they could still be considered as a legal married couple.
Nico and Nadine also still called her aunt, so Anya decided to keep quiet.
"Auntie, I'll go home first, okay? Get some rest. Good night!" Nadine hugded Anya. "Tomorrow, I'm going to accompany you to the hospital to see Jonathan before going to work."
"I'll wait for you," Anya did not have a car so Nadine offered to take her.
After leaving Diana's house, Nico immediately carried Tara. "Let's go home."
"Nico, are you shameless? Your sister and Harris are looking at us," Tara immediately hit Nico's shoulder.
"It's okay. They can also make out themselves, why should we bother with what they think of us?" Nico said on purpose.
Tara could only bury her head shyly in his arms.
"My grandfather has agreed to our marriage. When do you want to marry me?" Nico asked.
"Who said I want to marry you?" Tara turned and looked at Nico arrogantly.
"You're my fiancée. Then who would you marry if not me?" Nico carried Tara up to the front of the car and they went to Nico's house after that.
Tara sat in the car without saying anything. She was still in doubt and not ready to get married.
She felt like she was being framed.
Nico made the news of their relationship getting revealed as a way to solve his problem with Raisa. Tara felt so disappointed in Nico that she made love to him all night from a hangover.
It seemed that Nico didn't think their marriage was anything special at all.
Nico just needed her to solve his problem with Raisa and that made Tara feel disappointed.
Nadine and Harris walked behind them and heard what they were saying before getting into the car.
"Why doesn't Sis Tara want to marry my brother?" Nadine asked.
"Marriage isn't a small matter. Your brother did not propose to Miss Tara and did not bring her family to visit and ask Doctor Tirta's permission to propose to her. In a situation like this, of course Miss Tara wouldn't accept his proposal. If I propose to a woman one day, of course I will not do it like your brother," Harris said, holding Nadine's hand.
Nadine's face turned red. She wanted to pull her hand from Harris's grasp, her palms were wet from feeling nervous. But Harris didn't let her go.
"Harris, do you like me?" Nadine asked.
Harris scratched his head awkwardly and looked embarrassed. "I… I'm stupid when it comes to romance and can't make a woman's heart happy. But Nadine, I really like you. I have always loved you since a long time ago,"
Nadine felt as if she saw a new side of Harris.
The man stared at her with a burning gaze. "When we were little, we often played house. I am the father and you the mother… "
"Ah?" Nadine was surprised to hear that.
She didn't think Harris would still remember their childhood game.
"At that time, I thought, when we grow up, I will really marry you. I know it's too sudden, but will you be my lover?" Harris asked.
This was the moment Nadine had been waiting for, so it didn't take long for her to immediately answer it. "Yes!" She replied, nodding her head.
"Is it true?" Harris looked at her excitedly.
"Starting today, you are my lover, Harris. You can't help my uncle to bully me again," Nadine said with a smile.
Harris immediately took out his wallet and put it in Nadine's hand. "From today on, I will always protect you. You can keep all my money. All mine is yours too."
Nadine immediately bursted out laughing at Harris's innocence.
Anya always said that Harris was a cunning person, but in Nadine's opinion, Harris was an innocent and simple man. Once they became lovers, Harris innocently gave his entire wallet to show his loyalty to Nadine.
"What if I spend all your money?" Nadine asked on purpose. "What's the card password?"
"There are three ATM cards, two credit cards, and all the passwords are your birthday date. If you want to buy anything, just use it. I will try my best to earn lots of money," Harris promised.
Nadine looked at Harris with a smile. "Is it true? Do you want to live for me?"
"Yes!" Harris nodded firmly.
"Alright then!" Nadine jumped onto Harris' back with pleasure and the man immediately caught her. "Now carry me home!"
"How about the car?" Harris asked.
"We can take it tomorrow," Nadine said, smiling.
During the trip, Nadine leaned on Harris's back while telling all of her experiences during the years she left home. Harris listened to all of her stories patiently.
Being able to carry the woman he loved like this felt amazing. He didn't care even if his legs would end up cramped.
…
At this moment, Tara and Nico were having an argument.
Once inside the house, Nico immediately asked Tara. "Why don't you want to marry me? Do you love another man? Who is he? Is he more handsome than me? Is he richer than my family? Am I not good enough for you?"
