BXBX NOVEL Chapter 825 - The Best Gift
"Tell me you're going back to my mom's house. My mother will help to hide this problem. The guards in her house also work for your uncle and they will all obey him. Don't worry, they won't know," said Anya.
Aiden immediately escorted Jenny back to the Atmajaya Family's home. The atmosphere at home is still peaceful and quiet.
It was noon when Jonathan came to visit.
At that moment, Bima knew that Jenny and Jonathan had met again.
"Jonathan, what does this mean? Did you forget what I told you before?" Bima said coldly.
"I love Jenny and I will make her happy. Please allow me to marry her, "Jonathan showed all of his assets to Bima. "This is a form of my sincerity. I am willing to give all my shares and assets in Jenny's name."
"Jenny doesn't need all this," Bima didn't even see it.
Seeing Jonathan's arrival, Maria immediately went upstairs and met her daughter. "Jenny, tell me the truth. Are you in a relationship with Jonathan?"
"Mother, I love him. Can't you help me? I know you want me to be happy too, right? I will be happy as long as I can marry the man I love," Jenny said, pleading.
Maria looked at her daughter sadly. "You can get a much better man. What about Rudi? He has never been married and he is also attracted to you… "
"Rudi likes me and I like him, but our love is limited to friends. Jonathan and I love each other. Mom, you're the only one who can help me, "Jenny held her mother's hand and kept begging her.
"Jonathan is a widower with a kid. I heard he and his ex -wife loved each other since they were young. If the woman were still alive and they separated because they no longer loved each other, I would not be as worried to let you marry him. But she is dead and you will never be able to replace her position in his heart. Do you understand?" said Maria.
"I don't intend to replace anyone. I knew that there would always be Alisa's mother somewhere in his heart. But that's not a problem for me. That's just a part of his past. As long as he loves me, that's enough for me," as she said, Jenny's eyes shone brightly.
Just because of a feeling called love, someone can always change.
Maria looked at her daughter worriedly.
Jenny has just returned to Indonesia. Although she always smiled every day, that smile did not reach her eyes. Maria could tell because she was Jenny's mother.
She knew that her daughter's heart was empty.
But after Jenny managed to get Jonathan's love, her eyes looked much more expressive.
"Jenny, your grandfather loves you so much and wishes the best for you. Jonathan is not the best man for you. Make this rejection of your grandfather a test for him. Let's see how much he loves you and can he go through this all just for you, okay?" Maria changed her attitude, she decided to not be as tough as Bima.
"Alright," Jenny immediately agreed. She believed in Jonathan.
Bima is very angry with Jonathan, and asks someone to evict him. He even ordered that if Jonathan returned, he would not be allowed to enter.
Not only that. Jenny is also not allowed to go anywhere. She can only stay home because Bima is worried that if she leaves, she will meet Jonathan again.
Maria felt sorry for her daughter. But for the sake of her daughter's better future, she decides to act a little cruel.
"Jenny, what do you want to eat? Let me cook for you," Maria asked softly.
"Mother, let me go. I beg you," Jenny said as she cried.
"Your grandfather is still angry. You better obey him," said Maria.
"Mother, I have a stomach ache, nausea and dizziness. Let me go to the hospital," Jenny held her head.
Maria saw Jenny's slightly pale face, she didn't seem to be pretending. The woman immediately helped her daughter to sit on the couch.
At dinner, Nico and Tara came to the Atmajaya Family's house. Not only the two of them, Aiden and Anya as well as Nadine and Harris also came after Bima told them they would have dinner together.
"Tara, go and see Jenny for a while. She drank wine and did not want to eat yesterday. Now she is sick," said Bima.
"Alright, I'll see her," Tara went straight upstairs to Jenny's room.
"She just pretended to be sick so that grandfather would feel sorry for her. Grandpa, just leave her be, don't mind her," said Nico. He also opposes the relationship between Jonathan and his sister.
Bima sat in his seat, looking at Nico then Aiden. "Aiden, what do you think?"
"Jenny has not lived with us since childhood. We should not use her marriage for profit. As long as she likes someone and that person also likes her, I think it's better if they can be together," said Aiden.
"Jonathan is a good man and his company is also growing very fast. I heard he came with all his assets and shares, willing to give everything to marry Jenny. Looks like he really loves her," Nadine said with a smile.
Seeing Nadine trying to help Jenny speak up, she also wanted to help. However, as she was about to speak, Aiden stopped her and clasped her hand under the table.
She turned and looked at Aiden, seeing her husband shake his head for a moment.
Finally, Anya decided to keep quiet.
Jonathan is her kin. If she opened her mouth and said something, it would make her look like she was lobbying the family for Jonathan, and not for Jenny.
"Harris, what do you think?" Bima suddenly asked Harris.
Harris looked at Aiden and then looked at Bima. "Jonathan suddenly proposed to her. I'm worried he has bad intentions. Let me investigate first,"
"You're right. Why didn't I think of this before? Is he in so much trouble that he needs Jenny to get out of it?" said Nico.
Bima nodded. "Anya and Rudi own shares in the Srijaya Group. I leave the matter of this investigation to you, Harris. If there is a problem, we can immediately withdraw our shares so as not to incur a big loss."
"I understand," Harris said.
Aiden drank his tea calmly, but Anya looked at Harris with disgust.
"Don't blame Harris. We have to be patient if we want to move to the next stage," said Aiden in a low voice.
"What are you going to do?" Anya whispered.
"Investigate the Srijaya Group to see what Jonathan is planning now. I want to know if there is something that he's hiding from us. At least, by investigating, we can convince my dad and realize that Jonathan is really sincere about marrying Jenny. But if we find something later, Jonathan is really giving himself a death sentence," Aiden's eyes looked serious.
"Alright then," Anya replied. She couldn't do anything and she couldn't help either.
Yesterday, she told Jonathan to do what he wanted. Actually, what Anya meant was to accept the fact that he's going after Jenny, not do something that crossed the line like this.
If she had known that Jonathan did not take Jenny home, she'd have picked Jenny up in person.
Aiden smiled and gripped Anya's hand tightly under the table.
"No matter what happens to Jenny and Jonathan, I hope this issue will not affect our relationship. Do you understand?" Aiden asked softly.
Anya nodded and smiled. After that, she rested her head on the man's shoulder.
"Jenny's birthday is coming soon! We all know that her greatest hope is to marry Jonathan. Quickly investigate him. I hope we can prepare the most beautiful gift for her birthday this time and I think Jonathan is the answer," Nadine said enthusiastically.
