Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO
Chapter 585 - In Front Of Outsiders

"Anya, thank you for caring for me. I'm okay," Ivan said, smiling faintly.

"But brother..."

"As long as you and Aiden are happy, as long as Nico can marry the woman he loves, that's enough for me. I know Nico is panicking and wants to save Nadine as soon as possible. Don't blame him. I've known Raisa since childhood and I will not treat her badly," Ivan said.

"Still..."

"Raisa has agreed," Ivan seemed to understand what Anya was trying to say and immediately interrupted her.

"What? Why did Raisa agree?" Anya asked, confused.

"Actually, the problem is not as complicated as you think. I am willing to marry her and Raisa is also willing to marry me. Everyone is happy and Nico's problem will be resolved," Ivan said before ending the call.

Anya could still feel her head buzzing even after.

Raisa agreed to marry Ivan?

"What's wrong? Is there any news?" Seeing Anya's confused face, Tara was immediately worried too.

"The Atmajaya family found a solution, they're going to marry Ivan to Raisa… and Raisa agreed. What was she really thinking? Doesn't she like Aiden?" Anya didn't understand what Raisa was planning.

"Raisa likes Aiden and thinks of you as an enemy. Maybe it is true that marriage is not a game. But if she can marry Ivan, she will become a member of the Atmajaya Family and replace a way to trouble you. Plus, if she married Ivan, her rank in the Atmajaya Family would be higher than yours because she would be another sister-in-law of the family. Nico will have to call her as his aunt too. It seems that was her reason for agreeing to this marriage."

When she heard Tara's thoughts, Anya thought that was really Raisa's plan.

"But I don't think this matter is that simple. I think someone trapped Nico and Raisa, but actually their main goal was to encourage the Atmajaya Family to agree to the marriage between Ivan and Raisa," Anya said.

"Do you think it was Imel's doing?" Tara was shocked to hear that. "By marrying Raisa, Ivan will get support from the Mahendra family and have enough backing to compete with Aiden."

"I guess that's the only reason that makes sense. If not, should Nico take responsibility?" Anya asked.

She felt that there was a conspiracy behind all this.

Tara immediately shook her head. "He shouldn't. Nico is mine. "

"Finally. You acknowledge him as yours now. Ah! You guys made love last night, right?" Anya said half jokingly.

"He slept in my bed, which means he is mine," Tara said.

Anya laughed hearing that. Tara was no longer ashamed to admit their relationship. "That's Tara I know!"

"Let's go to the Atmajaya Family house."

When Aiden's bodyguard escorted them to the Atmajaya Family house, Imel and Ivan were already there.

Seeing Anya and Tara arrive, Imel was immediately annoyed. "Bima, isn't it inappropriate to talk about family matters in front of outsiders?"

"Servant, please take the woman out. They said it was inappropriate to discuss family matters in front of outsiders," Maria said as she walked toward the living room, assisted by Nico.

She looked much better than when Anya had met her before.

"Maria, don't go too far!" Imel shouted angrily.

"Tara is my daughter-in-law, she's engaged to Nico. And Anya is the daughter-in-law of the Atmajaya Family. Who is the outsider here?" Maria said coldly.

Tara saw Nico wink at her, but she could only look away.

Anya pretended not to be there and said nothing. Bima asked her to come, meaning that he wouldn't let Imel embarrass her, right?

"Bima, look at your eldest daughter-in-law. She called me an outsider," Imel hugged Bima's arm, complaining. "Nico also caused trouble. We came to help but Maria wanted me out instead!"

"Maria said it because you spoke to Tara and Anya like that. No matter what Nico did, he was just trying to save his little sister. Today, I've summoned all of you to solve the problem, not to complicate it," Bima said.

"I will listen to all of your decisions, father," Ivan said.

Bima nodded with satisfaction.

"Grandpa, I don't have anything to do with Raisa. If you don't believe it, you can ask her directly. I don't want to marry anyone but Tara and she is pregnant with my child now," Nico said carelessly.

Tara immediately glared, feeling her eyeballs almost pop out of her head. She was pregnant with Nico's child? How could she, as the owner of her body, not even know?

Anya immediately turned her head and looked at Tara. Didn't Nico and Tara just make love last night? How could Tara get pregnant in one day? That'd be truly extraordinary.

"Is it true? Tara is pregnant?" Bima's face was immediately excited. "It has been a long time since the Atmajaya Family received such good news."

Tara wanted to say that she was not pregnant. She didn't understand why Nico was speaking carelessly like this.

When she heard that Tara was pregnant, Imel's face immediately turned gloomy. Her cold gaze immediately swept towards Tara's stomach.

Maria immediately stepped forward and protected Tara and Anya behind her. She was like a mother chicken trying to protect her chicks.

Imel looked away and looked at Bima with a smile. "Bima, just look at Nico. His child is already on the way. If so, Ivan's marriage cannot be postponed any longer."

"Grandpa, I have to marry Tara first. I can wait, but the baby in Tara's belly can't. If Uncle Ivan married first, my marriage would be delayed," Nico said.

Anya just understood why Nico suddenly said that Tara was pregnant. He wanted to postpone the marriage between Ivan and Raisa and turn it into an engagement.

"Father, it is inappropriate for uncle and nephew to get married at the same time. How about letting Nico and Tara get married first? Then a few months later, we can have Ivan and Raisa's wedding. Tara is pregnant, you don't want her child to be born without legal parents right?" Maria said.

"Not! How could Ivan's marriage be postponed? If Tara is pregnant, let her register her marriage first and have a party after the child is born. A woman getting married during her pregnancy is bad for the baby," Imel immediately became the first person to reject the suggestion.

"Let me and Anya help Tara. Tara doesn't have to do anything. I will never let my daughter-in-law get hurt. I have to give her a proper marriage before her child is born," Maria's words showed that she didn't want Tara's child to be born like Ivan, without a legal father and without marriage.

Ivan would be forever overshadowed by his status as an illegitimate child.

At first, Tara wanted to say that she was not pregnant, but Anya continued to hold her back. Finally, after she knew Nico's intentions, she didn't expose his lies.

"Bima, didn't you hear Maria's words? You should have done the same thing when I was pregnant with Ivan," Imel said. Now she was trying to force Bima to marry her.

"Maria is right. We can't hurt Tara. Ivan, how about you get engaged first and postpone your marriage to Raisa?" Bima suggested, looking at Ivan.
