Harris walked into Aiden's office while trying to hide his smile. When Aiden glared at him, Harris immediately shook his head.

"I don't laugh at you, sir!" He said frantically.

​​

But Aiden paid no heed to his panic. He was more curious about other things, "What was Anya talking about with that man?" Aiden asked unexpectedly.

It turned out that Aiden's gaze was not directed at him. Aiden wasn't angry because he knew that Harris laughed at him. Harris felt a little embarrassed by his unreasonable panic. It was unusual for him to make mistakes like this.

He hurried back to his professional posture, "Madame and Mr. Raka were in a closed room. No one can hear what they are talking about."

"The door is not closed." Aiden interrupted.

Harris pondered for a moment, did not expect this situation. Anya did not close the door to avoid Aiden's suspicion. Why didn't Harris think about this? They might be in separate rooms, but not completely together as Anya left the door to the room wide open to avoid misunderstanding.

"I'll find out soon, sir." Said Harris. He immediately turned around and left the room.

As soon as Harris left, Nico suddenly entered Aiden's study, "Uncle, I heard you changed your flight schedule today. How about you accompany me tonight to meet a client. Tonight, I'll have dinner and discuss business with…"

Aiden coldly interrupted Nico, before he even said who he would be meeting with, "I didn't change my flight schedule to accompany you."

"Harris said there is something urgent that must be done uncle. What else is more important than meeting our clients?" Nico asked in amazement. His uncle was known for his workaholism. What other thing would his uncle want to do besides work?

"I want to have dinner with your aunt." Aiden said casually.

"Huh?" Nico was sure his ears had heard wrong. Had his ears been damaged? Or did he have a brain injury? There was no way the 'urgent thing' that his uncle wanted to do was having dinner with his aunt.

"Uncle, why are you acting like this? Why are you being tricked by women so easily?" Said Nico. He did not want his uncle to go out to eat with his aunt, while he had to take care of work alone. He also wanted to date!

"How about you being trapped by your own friend so easily?" Aiden replied coldly. It seemed that he still had a grudge because Nico brought Raka to his house.

Nico's heart skipped a beat when he heard his uncle's words. He thought his uncle had forgiven him because of that problem. But it seemed that his Uncle's anger couldn't be erased with just an apology.

He immediately tried to explain, "Uncle, I really didn't mean it. I don't know if Raka has a past with aunt."

"Ah!" Aiden's gaze was scornful, "Then, what did that man say to you?"

Nico's heart was like a drum that was continuously beating hard. If his heart was beating so fast like this, he might explode after a while. Raka was his best friend and Aiden was his uncle. It was better for him to hide a few things from his uncle so that there was no fight between the two people who were close to him.

He thought for a moment and said, "Raka is just worried that you are not being sincere and forcing aunt to marry you. I told Raka that you two are married and advised him not to interfere with your relationship."

"Oh, yeah?" One of Aiden's eyebrows rose, "Then, how come your best friend came to your aunt's workplace so early in the morning?" Aiden's face looked really creepy like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey. Unfortunately, this time the prey was none other than Nico.

Nico's face turned pale. He almost choked on his own saliva when he heard that his friend was returning to see his aunt, "Uncle, there seems to be a misunderstanding."

"Is that what you think?" Aiden replied ambiguously.

Nico couldn't answer. If his uncle said that Raka went to meet Anya, then it must have really happened.

Raka came to Anya at work.

Nico did not know why Raka suddenly met Anya so early in the morning, but his best friend must have thought that Aiden had gone abroad so he was not near Anya.

All of this was his fault. It was Nico who told Raka that Aiden was going abroad today. But he didn't tell Raka that his uncle left at night! He really wanted to hit his head and mouth like a bucket!

"Don't worry, Uncle. I won't let Raka ruin your good name." Nico said with a stern look.

Aiden didn't answer, but his lips were filled with a creepy smile. That smile made Nico feel uneasy and his whole body felt numb. He really wanted to run away from this place. It felt like this place was more terrifying than a tiger's cage.

"Uncle, I will persuade Raka to go and not see aunt again. I will also help you to look after aunt!" Nico begged. He was so afraid of Aiden that he offered to help protect Anya from Raka.

"Do you think Anya will turn away from me and return to that man?" Aiden said. His eyes looked dreamy as he questioned it.

Nico immediately shook his head, "Impossible! Uncle is very handsome and great. Auntie is not blind and can certainly see how great you are, just like how I saw you." He said. His praise for Aiden was very sincere because he really idolized Aiden. One day, he too, wanted to be an influential and intelligent man like Aiden.

"Hmm ... Your aunt is not blind, but I am the one who is blind." Aiden's voice sounded low.

"It's only temporary, Uncle. You will recover soon!" Not only did Nico make small talk and try to cheer him up, but he had complete confidence and trust that Aiden would recover soon.

Aiden's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Nico with an unreadable gaze. Aiden already held Nico's fault so he would take advantage of his nephew.

"Last night, your grandfather came to my house and made a scene. He insisted that I divorce your aunt." Aiden said, "When I'm gone, you have to help me look after her."

Nico immediately nodded, "Uncle, don't worry. I will protect auntie until you return."

"Hmm… I will tell Mrs. Hana to clean the house next to mine. You get ready to move out tonight." Said Aiden.

Aiden's house consisted of several buildings, but only the main building was occupied. One of them was an empty building that belonged to Nico. However, Nico rarely used that house because he was not used to living alone.

"Uncle, my house has not been occupied for half a year. It must be a very dirty and cold place. Can I just stay at your house? There are lots of empty rooms in the main building!" Nico casually asked.

Previously, Aiden's eyes warmed when they talked about Anya. But as soon as Nico asked to stay in the main house, Aiden's gaze immediately became sharp and cold, "I was not at home at the time. How dare you want to live in my house!"

Nico was really afraid to see his uncle's gaze. Luckily, he didn't bite his own tongue because he was so shocked. His brain must have been damaged when he said that he wanted to live in Aiden's house with Anya!

"No, uncle!" Nico looked like he wanted to cry, "I made a mistake. This is just a misunderstanding. I don't want to live under the same roof with my aunt!"

Aiden was still glaring at him. Nico's knees felt so weak as jelly that he felt like he could fall to his knees at any moment.

"Uncle, don't look at me like that. I'm afraid!" Said Nico with a gloomy face, "I'll stay at my house tonight. I will help you look after Aunt and keep away all men who try to get close to her."

"Hmm ..." Aiden replied casually.

Nico wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and glanced at Aiden. It was better for him to change the topic immediately so as not to talk about Anya. His uncle was completely territorial and very easily provoked by the flames of jealousy. Aiden was like a ticking bomb ready to explode anytime and it seemed like it was very easy for Nico to set it off accidentally.

"Uncle, has there been any changes in your eyes?" Nico asked, looking at Aiden.

"What do you mean?" Aiden asked casually.

Nico stepped forward and looked into Aiden's eyes, "Have your eyes recovered?"
