Aiden also thought that Jonathan only accepted Jenny because he felt touched.
Touched by her loyalty, even though they have been separated for two years.
Touched by her hard work as she was willing to do anything to be with him.
The love that Jonathan feels right now may not be real love, but just a form of responsibility and pity towards a woman who is willing to do anything for him.
He wanted to take responsibility for Jenny, the way a man would take responsibility for his partner after they had drunken sex.
If it was true that Jonathan only felt that way, Aiden would never have approved of his relationship with Jenny.
…
In Jenny's first week locked up at home, Bima asked everyone to come over to the house and have dinner together.
That's because he is also worried that his granddaughter will be bored at home. At least she won't be stressed out by having some people to talk to.
While at the dining table, everyone chatted freely.
"Jenny, you don't work do you? How about opening a business? We can do live broadcasts via YouTube or social media. Then we can share the results." Even though Nico hates Jonathan, he still loves his little sister.
"Half?" Jenny said.
Nico frowned, feeling that he would be at a great loss working with her. "I'll give you a third. It can't be more than that."
"Agree!" Jenny said.
She was really bored at home. If she works with Nico, that means she can get out of the house!
Nico didn't have much free time to keep coming to the Atmajaya Family's house. That's why Jenny has to go to his house.
"I won't get in the way if you guys want to work together. But Nico must come here," said Bima.
"Grandpa, broadcasting requires a lot of preparation, how could we do it at home?" Nico said.
"Then where?" Bhima asked.
"Grandpa, I assure you that Jenny will always be with me. Don't you believe me?" Nico's eyes showed determination that he would take good care of his sister.
Bima thought that Nico didn't like Jonathan as much as he did. Finally, he nodded and said, "In this house, I can only entrust Jenny to you."
Everyone at the dining table looked at each other. Bima can't believe Anya, Aiden, Nadine, Harris and even Maria.
In this family, the only person who has the same opinion on Jonathan and Jenny's relationship is Nico.
"Father, don't you even believe me? Jenny is my daughter. How could I hurt her?" Maria laughed.
"You are too gentle. Jenny will definitely melt your heart." Bima was so smart he could see everything.
Aiden is his wife's slave. Whatever Anya said, he would definitely obey.
Anya is pretty airheaded, she supports Jonathan and Jenny to strive for their love. She must have supported Jenny in pursuing her happiness too.
Even if Aiden didn't share the same opinion, he wouldn't dare stand in her way.
Meanwhile, Nadine and Harris were both listening to Anya and Aiden's words.
In this family, only Nico is of the same mind as Bima.
"Father, the minority will usually listen and obey the majority. Have you heard of it? It's called democracy," Aiden said.
"I am the oldest person in this family. Do you want to oppose me? I think that Rudi is the best man. He is a fun, cheerful and hardworking man. Although Jonathan is also quite good, he can't be compared to Rudi. I don't like it because Jonathan already has children," said Bima, openly showing his dislike of Jonathan.
Jenny was not happy to hear that. "I'm looking for a husband I love. It's not you who'll be living with him later. If Grandpa likes Rudi, you should marry him then!"
"Jonathan doesn't love you!" Bhima replied angrily.
"He waited for me for two years. What is it if not love?" Jenny replied.
"Indeed, you waited for him for two years. But he's not been waiting for you. He's just busy working and doesn't have time to look for women," said Bima. "You are not allowed to see him again!"
"Grandfather, if I wanted to do things that crossed the line, I could actually have done them two years ago. Why have I waited all this time? I'm also against getting pregnant before marriage. But if you keep this up, I'm going to take this matter to extremes that you will not want to find out!" Jenny said.
Subconsciously, Aiden looked into her stomach. "Drop your idea if you don't want Jonathan dead."
Anya was surprised to hear that and her gaze was fixed on Jenny's stomach. She didn't know if Jenny and Jonathan used protection when they had sex.
If Jenny was really pregnant, this would be a complicated matter.
Jenny showed a faint smile on her lips. She wasn't afraid of Bima at all. If she was lucky, she might actually be carrying Jonathan's child.
How could not Aiden see what she had in mind?
But what Aiden didn't tell Jenny was that he had put the emergency contraceptive pill in the water she drank afterward.
When she was on hunger strike, Tara had checked on her condition.
They knew what Jonathan and Jenny had done. But to ensure Jenny's happiness, Aiden will not let her get pregnant before marriage.
Aiden wished Jenny to be happy. If Jonathan married her out of love, he might give his blessing.
"I know you can't believe me, worried that I will help Jenny. But I'm really investigating Jonathan. And this information can be trusted. Do you want to see it?" Harry asked.
"Give it to me," Bima said calmly.
Harris gave the information he got and Bima looked at it one by one. After that, he nodded. "As expected, Jonathan is a great man. In just a few years, he was able to raise the Srijaya Group to this level. But this is of no use. I still won't let Jenny marry him."
"Why?" Jenny said disapprovingly.
"Just look at him. He works every day, without any breaks. If you marry him, you will not be happy. In fact, you will only take care of his child!" Bima said.
"That child is not your flesh and blood. Maybe when she is still a kid like now, she will listen to you. But what if she grows up later? What if that child hates you because you are her stepmother? You can have a happy marriage, but you choose to be a stepmother to another woman's child instead."
No one dared to raise their voice in the room because what Bima said was true.
It's not easy being a stepmother. Loving Alisa now doesn't mean she can love her like her own child later.
"You better help your uncle at the company. If you don't want to, let your mother arrange a matchmaking for you. It's okay if you don't like Rudi. There are many other men out there who deserve you more than that man," said Bima.
"Dad, Jenny just got home. Let her rest and calm her thoughts. Let's not think about matchmaking," Maria said, trying to persuade her father-in-law.
