Chapter 560 - Choosing Yourself
"Alisa wants to marry the handsome uncle..." The little girl said, crying.
Anya felt very confused. It was true that Nico didn't like children. He thought of kids as dirty and messy. They were really annoying when they cried.
And yet, Nico himself was still a child.
Meanwhile, Alisa was so mature that she could see Nico didn't want to play with her.
But what should Anya do now? Alisa didn't want to be with Nico and Aiden refused to accompany Alisa. That man must've really wanted to embarrass Anya.
Anya felt dizzy. She didn't have many friends, let alone men. How could she find a handsome man in the near future?
"What's wrong? Aiden can't come tomorrow?" Diana asked anxiously.
"Yes, Aiden is busy. Alisa doesn't like Nico. Where can I find someone who wants to accompany this child.." Anya felt even more dizzy.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She immediately felt happy in her heart. She thought that Aiden had changed his mind and was willing to accompany Alisa.
When she took her cellphone and saw the screen, it was Raka who called her.
"Raka, why are you calling so late? Is there anything I can help?" Anya asked.
"I ended my engagement to Natali," Raka said excitedly.
"I've seen it on the internet. You said you were afraid your parents would force you to marry another woman before. But why are you canceling your engagement now? Did you find a woman you like? Congratulations.." Anya smiled and congratulated Raka sincerely.
"I want to chase you again," Raka said from the phone.
"..."
Anya was stunned as if she had just been struck by lightning. She couldn't say anything.
Raka thought Anya couldn't hear his words and intended to say it again. He wanted Anya to know that he was ready to chase her and get her heart back. "Anya I said I wanted to..."
"What were you saying? Alisa keeps crying, I can't hear you," Anya immediately interrupted him so that Raka couldn't finish his words.
"Alisa? Are you referring to Jonathan's daughter?" Raka also met Jonathan several times and found out that he had a child.
"Yes. Jonathan was on duty and left Alisa to me. A few days ago, my mother had dinner at home. Aiden promised to spend some time on the weekend to take pictures with Alisa. But he couldn't come tomorrow because he was busy. Alisa doesn't want to stop crying now," Anya covered her ears and hid in the kitchen to answer Raka's call. But she could still hear Alisa's crying.
"I'm off tomorrow. How about I come and take a photo with her? Alisa knows me and she likes me quite enough.." Raka said.
When Anya was in France for two years, Raka would occasionally come to visit her when she was not busy.
He had met Alisa several times and knew her quite well.
"Really? Then, come tomorrow dressed in formal attire. Alisa doesn't want to take ordinary pictures. She wants wedding photos. You will be the groom," Anya said with a laugh.
Raka laughed too. "I'll wear a suit and take a photo with her."
"Thank you for helping me, Raka. You are my hero. I have dug my own hole by telling fairy tales about princesses and princes. Now she likes Aiden and thinks of him as her prince. But Aiden wasn't someone to ask for help with trivial things like this. Without you, I would've gone crazy because of Alisa's crying," Anya said gratefully.
"I will always help you whenever you need me. Get some rest now. See you tomorrow!" Raka did not talk about Anya and Aiden's vacation. Even though there was a lot of news circulating on the internet, he decided to ignore it.
"See you tomorrow," Anya ended the call. "Alisa, stop crying. Mama has good news for you."
"Is the handsome uncle coming tomorrow?" Alisa asked with tears still pooling in her eyes.
"Tomorrow, a handsome uncle will come. Now wash your face and sleep. If you sleep too late, you will look ugly in the photoshoot," Anya said, trying to persuade Alisa.
"Alisa won't cry anymore. I have to look beautiful tomorrow," Alisa wiped her tears with her hands and then went to wash her face together with Diana.
Diana looked at Anya suspiciously. Her daughter said Aiden couldn't come, but why did it change suddenly now?
When Nadine returned to the house, she found that Alisa had stopped crying.historical
"Gosh, that child's voice. Maybe she can become an opera singer someday," Nadine looked at the stairs in awe. Then she went to the sofa and sat there. "Auntie, come sit with me. I want to tell you something."
"What's up?" Anya said while approaching her.
"I just called Harris. He said uncle doesn't have any work tomorrow. He had already arranged his schedule previously so that he could accompany Alisa to take pictures," Nadine said excitedly.
"Oh." The expression on Anya's face was flat.
"Oh no. Why are you not happy? I'm not busy tomorrow," Nadine said.
"Your uncle is not busy, but he still doesn't want to come. So that's what happened," Anya said as if nothing had happened. "However, I've found a replacement."
"Who? Not my brother, right?" Nadine asked.
"Not. Raka is free tomorrow. He will come to replace Aiden to take a picture with Alisa. Alisa also knew Raka before. Everything will be fine," Anya said with a smile.
"You mean, my uncle didn't want to come so you ended up asking Raka for help?" Nadine felt something was wrong.
Why did everything turn out like this?
What was her uncle doing? Why didn't her uncle want to come when he was free?
"When Raka called me earlier, he heard Alisa's crying voice and asked why she was crying. So I told him about the photoshoot plan. Raka said he wouldn't be busy tomorrow, so I asked him to take a photo with Alisa," Anya explained casually.
"So, it wasn't you who asked Raka for help, but my uncle refused? After that, Raka suddenly called you and offered to help. But auntie, does Alisa already know?" Nadine asked.
Would Alisa change her prince?
"There shouldn't be a problem. Raka is a good man. He is also handsome. Nobody dislikes him," Anya said with a smile.
"Do you like him too?" Nadine asked.
Anya nodded. "I used to like him. He is your brother's best friend. Did you know him before?"
"I also liked him before. But that's already in the past. Raka is a nice man, but still I think my uncle is the best," Nadine smiled as she said it.
Anya just nodded awkwardly.
"If you were asked to choose, who would you choose, auntie?" My uncle or Raka?" Nadine asked.
"I chose myself," Anya got up and changed the subject. "It's already late. Go home and rest. Sorry for troubling you the last few days,"
"Good evening, auntie." Once home, Nadine did not immediately return to Harris' house, but headed to her uncle's house.
Aiden was waiting for Anya, but unexpectedly, Nadine came.
"Why do you come late at night like this?" Aiden asked coldly.
"Uncle, give back my ATM card. I'll give you important information," Nadine said.
