Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 969
Advertisement
"I really don't care who you want to set up with Adrian. No matter how good Adrian is, I don't want him to have anything to do with Bella. I will never let my daughter marry an illegitimate child!"
When Anya heard this, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists. In this world, no one can ask who they want to be born to, just like Adrian.
If he could choose, Adrian would also want to be born in a harmonious family, with complete parents.
Adrian is a very nice person. Since childhood, he was very understanding and never made things difficult for his parents.
Adrian never once behaved naughty and annoyed Anya. In fact, it was her own children, Arka and Aksa, who often made her angry.
Anya really hates Adrian's biological mother, but in her eyes, Adrian is innocent. He doesn't have to bear his mother's sins.
Anya really loves her brother and treats him like her own child.
"This matter is still uncertain. Why are you so angry? When Adrian gets home, I'll talk to him. Don't make accusations carelessly," Anya's voice sounded cold.
"What's with your attitude? Your brother wants to seduce my daughter. Adrian is 24 years old and my daughter is only 19. She still doesn't know anything," Raisa became very impulsive when she saw Bella with Adrian so she spoke carelessly.
Anya doesn't want to respond to Raisa anymore. She feels like talking to Raisa is useless. Raisa will never get it.
In this world, the only person who can face Raisa is Ivan.
"Raisa, calm down and listen to me. If Adrian really likes Bella, I'll ask him to stop before it's too late. I don't want to be family with you either. And I also remind you not to mention him as an illegitimate child next time. Think for yourself why," Anya turned off the phone.

Raisa hit the steering wheel in annoyance, making her horn sound quite loudly. Bella turned and noticed the car. She immediately waved her hand.
Raisa lowered her window and showed her face. "Bella, get in the car."
"Brother Adrian, my mother came to pick me up. I'm going home first!" Bella said goodbye to Adrian.
"Let me walk you to the car and greet aunty," Adrian said with a smile.
He approached Raisa's car and greeted her politely. Like a gentleman, he opened the door for Bella and kept the girl's head from colliding with the top of the car. After she entered, Adrian closed the door for Bella.
"See you tomorrow!" Bella waved her hand.
"Goodbye, Auntie. See you tomorrow, Bella!" Adrian stood there while waiting for Raisa's car to leave.
While saying goodbye, Raisa didn't say anything at all. Even though Adrian greeted her, she only responded nonchalantly.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Who pissed you off like this?" She asked.
"Is it still unclear?" Raisa glanced at her daughter.
"What? You look like a debt collector you know," Bella smiled innocently and said, "Mom, I want to eat steak."
"I know a good restaurant," Raisa turned the steering wheel and went to the restaurant she was referring to.
After arriving at the restaurant, Raisa continued to look doubtful, not knowing what to say.
She tried hard to remember what her mother said when she fell in love for the first time. As she recalled, at that time, she was still in the 1st grade of high school and she liked her classmate.
During the college entrance exam, Irena worries that falling in love will interfere with Raisa's studies. So in the end, she gave some money to the man Raisa liked, enough to pay for his college fees, on the condition that he wouldn't approach Raisa again.

Irena also told Raisa's teacher to give a lot of homework so that Raisa hated the teacher in the end. Studying and doing homework every day used to make her suffer a lot.
Apparently, this method does not apply to Adrian. What does money mean in his eyes?
Adrian himself is the CEO of Pratama Group.
Raisa racked her brain and thought about how to separate her daughter and Adrian. But from her life experience so far, she had never encountered a similar situation.
She didn't know what to do.
She has no experience educating her daughter, especially Bella, who falls in love easily like she used to.
Actually, Raisa didn't intend to stop her daughter from falling in love. As long as the man isn't Adrian.
After much thought, Raisa decided to look for Adrian. She couldn't talk to Bella, but she could talk to Adrian directly.
That night, Raisa took Bella to Anya's house, while looking for Adrian.
When she heard that Raisa came there, Anya took the initiative to greet her. "Raisa, let's talk."
"Okay," said Raisa. She told Bella to go upstairs and look for Adel.
A servant brought them drinks. But after knowing that Anya and Raisa were having a serious conversation, the maid immediately left after putting down the glasses.
"Adrian is working overtime. When he comes home, I'll talk to him," Anya said calmly.
Raisa raised her glass and drank it. "This is bergamot tea? Is this my brother's gift?"
"If you like it, I'll give it to you," Anya said with a smile.
"Don't get too close to my brother. You will become in-laws and you have to pay attention to your attitude. You know that my brother…"
"Stop it," said Anya.
Raisa snorted when she heard it.
"When are you going to get rid of those nonsensical thoughts of yours? If Aiden heard about it, do you think your brother wouldn't be in any trouble? My relationship with Raka is in the past. Why are you bringing it up again? Now my son and his daughter are getting married. What else do you want to say?" Anya immediately reprimanded Raisa.
Raisa felt very angry when she heard it. "Anya, I am your sister-in-law. Why are you talking to me like that?"
"If you want me to think of you as my sister-in-law, you should be more mature. Never mind sister-in-law, even if you are my mother-in-law, I will still reprimand you when you do something wrong. I will ask Adrian about the relationship between him and Bella later. Did you say something to Bella?" Anya asked.
Raisa intertwined her fingers. "I wanted to ask her, but I didn't find the opportunity. I don't know what to say."
"It's a good thing you didn't ask Bella. She is still very young. What if all of this was just a misunderstanding? Bella would definitely feel uncomfortable. Young people today are very sensitive. They also need privacy and respect from their parents. You interfere too much," said Anya.
Raisa laughed when she heard that. "You have more children than me and you can better educate them. Didn't I come to discuss it with you?"
"You…" Anya knew that Raisa had a bad temper. But after marrying Ivan, she became much more mature and willing to listen to other people's words.
Raisa grabbed Anya's hand and took the initiative to admit her mistake. "I apologize for what I said earlier. I shouldn't have called Adrian an illegitimate child. All of this is my fault. I promise to be careful next time.
"Why is Adrian called an illegitimate child? Mother, what did you talk to aunt Raisa about?" Suddenly, Aksa appeared from behind the sofa.

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.

Celestial Spark
Mages traditionally make poor fodder, but with proper training and motivation, possess near limitless potential. For mage teams, the battle camps of the Upper Realms provide both, with missions ranging from orc hunts to political espionage. This tale follows one such team of four who strive to prove themselves in a world that would rather overlook them. Loyalty, honour, and devotion are contrasted by avarice, treachery, and apathy, though at times it can be difficult to separate vice from virtue. For though all people, whether they hail from the peripheries or the kingdom capital, are subjects whose fates are bound to the stars, their choices must be their own. Any comments or questions are welcomed.
