Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO

"You said you want to teach me how to conquer a woman?" Aiden said, changing the subject. He didn't want to make Nico too tense and afraid of him so he changed the subject to a more relaxed one.

"Ah? Did I say that?" Nico played dumb when he heard his uncle's question. He studied Aiden's face, saw that his uncle smiled a little. He finally breathed a sigh of relief that his uncle wasn't mad at him, "Uncle, don't scare me!"

Aiden just chuckled.

"If Anya, Raka and Ivan have known each other since they were little, it means that Raka and Ivan must have a good relationship. You have to be careful." Aiden said, warning Nico. He didn't want to tell Nico everything. Even though he acted firmly and hard on Nico, Nico was his family, his nephew. His assertiveness was a form of Aiden's affection for Nico, so that Nico could grow up into an independent adult man.

"I'll be careful." At first Nico wanted to say that Raka and Ivan would not work together to harm him. But after he thought back, considering that now Anya was his uncle's wife, he wasn't as sure of his thoughts as before.

Just this morning, Raka went to Anya's workplace to look for her, even though Nico had warned him not to interfere with his uncle and aunt's relationship. Nico could clearly see how Raka was so obsessed with Anya that he couldn't control himself at all.

Sometimes women could just make a guy go crazy!

"In the Atmajaya family, only I can protect you and your mother. I'm just asking you to be careful." Aiden said with a deep sigh. It was like reprimanding a child who didn't understand anything. Nico was too innocent to trust Raka and Ivan. Aiden wanted Nico to realize who his real family was.

"Uncle, I can't live without you!" Nico whined. From his uncle's warning, Nico could tell that his uncle loved him very much. His uncle cared for him and wanted to protect his family! "If Raka and Uncle Ivan work together, I will definitely stand beside you."

"Harris doesn't want me to have weaknesses!" Aiden said while looking at Nico. The weakness that Harris really meant was Anya. However, it seemed that Nico had misunderstood Aiden's words. He thought he would be the weakness and make things difficult for his uncle.

"Uncle! I'm not a weak person. I am your nephew. Of course, I can be just as great as you. My mother and I only have Uncle in this world." Aiden was the only father figure he had after the death of his real father. He did not want Aiden to leave him and his mother.

Aiden just cleared his throat and confirmed Nico's thoughts, "What Harris means is not you, but Anya."

"Oh!" Nico scratched his head awkwardly, "Auntie has a close relationship with Raka and Uncle Ivan. They won't hurt auntie. As long as uncle is with aunt, I don't think auntie is a weakness. In fact, she can be your shield!" Nico said.

Aiden frowned when he heard Nico's explanation, "I don't need to be protected by women."

Nico just laughed at his uncle's answer. His uncle's pride was so high that he didn't want anyone to protect him. His uncle preferred to protect all of them, the people he loved. Despite his coldness, Aiden was like a big warm teddy bear. Holding his loved ones tightly, giving a sense of security.

When talking about Anya, Aiden recalled the conversation he had with his wife on the phone.

He knew that Anya did not love him so he gave her a chance to get away from him. He would grant Anya's wish, whatever she wanted. Once he returned from abroad, he would hear Anya's decision.

"Will my marriage be alright ..." Aiden muttered softly.

The mutter sounded in Nico's ear. How could Nico miss something like this. His ears were so used to gossip that he could hear the slightest sound.

"Uncle, aunt is afraid of you, so she will never dare to leave you. But it would be better if she loved you as much as you love her. Actually, conquering women is very easy. You can be tough on the whole world, but you have to be gentle to her." Nico said, showing off his skills to make women fall for him.

"Am I not gentle?" Aiden immediately replied, looking sinister when he looked at Nico.

Nico could only take a deep breath, 'Uncle, the word gentle doesn't suit you at all. I wish you could see for yourself how you look at me now!' Nico thought.

His own nephew was afraid of him. What about Anya, who was not related by blood to Aiden?

Aiden had a fluctuating temper, his mood changed so quickly that sometimes it made Nico feel anxious. Nico might be used to it because he knew his uncle since he was little, but what about Anya? Anya just got to know Aiden!

But of course, Nico didn't dare say that to Aiden. He still wanted to live in peace.

"Uncle, it's not enough to surprise the Ferris wheel and fireworks for your date. Adult women also have a fragile heart, no matter how old they are. Uncle had to protect her, treat her gently, love her and pamper her. Imagine that woman as your own daughter. Uncle definitely wants to take care of it right!?" Said Nico.

Aiden frowned at Nico's explanation, "I'm not looking for girls! I married Anya to make her my wife!"

"Uncle, you really aren't romantic." Nico shook his head, "Uncle must respect women. Give them love and care. Give them freedom and confidence. Let her be free to do whatever she wants, let her give everything for you, instead of restricting her with the responsibilities of a wife!"

Aiden seemed to be able to understand Nico's words. He nodded and said, "I understand."

Nico looked at Aiden doubtfully, "Do you really understand, Uncle?"

"Hmm ... Guide her to the direction I want and let her obey me and accompany me willingly!" Said Aiden calmly.

Nico was at a loss for words when he heard Aiden's answer. He told Aiden to love and care for his aunt. How did that explanation actually get Aiden to think this way?

'Ah never mind! I don't want to interfere anymore! This uncle really doesn't understand women.' Nico thought to himself.

"If you have nothing else to talk about, continue your work!" Said Aiden. He had returned to his boss persona and told Nico to go back to work.

Nico walked towards Aiden's study door, scratching his head. Before he came out of his uncle's study, he stopped for a moment and said, "Uncle, try to understand her and let her do what she wants. Don't make her what you want her to be. Don't make aunt someone who she's not."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Aiden's reply and left the place.

It looked like Nico misunderstood what Aiden said. He thought that Aiden wanted to turn Anya into a woman who was worthy of his side—a dignified, distinctive woman from the upper class and just like Aiden.

But Aiden was too lazy to explain it to Nico, 'Just let the kid misunderstand ...'

Aiden didn't want to change Anya. He respected Anya, supported her to do whatever she wanted to become a better person.

He wanted to have a healthy marriage relationship where they could grow and develop together. Facing problems together and solving them together too. During this process, they could deepen their understanding of each other and strengthen their trust in their partners.

Aiden wanted to nurture Anya rather than treating her like a child and spoiling her. If he spoiled her too much, it'd only waste Anya's potential.

Whatever he thought of, he only wanted what's best for Anya.
