Chapter 651 - The Flower Girl
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Nico drew closer to Ivan and asked him when he heard Ivan ask the flower girl's name. He found his attitude very strange.
"He looks like someone," Ivan replied in a low voice while looking at the flower girl.
Nico took a closer look at Della's face and got stunned by the sight. He had not paid much attention to the girl's face until Ivan said it. In addition, the lighting in the room was pretty much dim.
No wonder Ivan was acting weird. The flower girl looked a little like Anya, especially her eyes.
Anya had almonds-like eyes. Her eyes were slightly lighter in color so they appeared to glow under the light.
The girl's face did not resemble her, unlike Keara and Anya. But her eyes were very similar to Anya's.
They said, men found it very difficult to forget their first love. Were the three men here attracted to this flower girl?
"My name is Della," Della replied carefully. "Do you want to buy flowers?"
"I'll buy it, how much is it?" Nico could see Della becoming increasingly alert and frightened. He didn't like this girl and he didn't like the reactions of his friends and uncle. He wanted the girl to leave this place immediately.
"The price is only 250 thousand. If you buy this flower, your relationship with your lover will last forever." Della immediately put the flowers she was carrying on the table. "I'll put the flowers here. Don't forget to bring it when you get home."
"The flowers you are selling are too expensive. My aunt is also a flower seller, but the price is not as expensive as yours. Can you give me a discount?" Nico said shamelessly.
Della looked doubtful, "Sir, this flower is not cheap and..."
Nico took out 100 thousand from his wallet and gave it to Della. "This is enough."
"But sir, this price is far from..."
Nico stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl's chin. "Raka, what do you think about this girl?"
Della was so scared and panicked because of the sudden touch. She immediately stood up and took the basket, about to go out of there. But Nico held her back.
"Nico, let her go," Raka immediately pulled Nico and pulled out 200 thousand bills to add for the rest. "Forgive my friend. He's just kidding. Take this, no need for change,"
"Thank you!" Della was really scared of Nico. She immediately fled from that place as quickly as possible.
But unexpectedly, when she turned around, Nico suddenly grabbed her leg and made her fall.
"Ahhh!" Della exclaimed.
Ivan immediately reacted quickly. His hands hugged Della's waist and held her from falling to the floor.
Della breathed a sigh of relief when she knew that she didn't fall over and embarrass herself. At that time, she could only see Ivan's face very clearly. She just realized how handsome Ivan was. The man's nose was very sharp and his eyes were so dark that it seemed as if they could sink a person into a bottomless abyss.
"Are you alright?" Ivan let go of his hand and stepped back politely after he helped Della stand up straight.
"Thank you for the help. Good night!" Della immediately fled in panic.
Nico sneered at the sight. His tactic of driving the girl away as quickly as possible had been very successful. "She ran away just like that. Does she think we are wild animals?" He grumbled.
Jonathan raised his glass and drank it. "Not us, but you!"
"What's wrong with me?" Nico said disapprovingly. "Do you all feel that that girl looks like my aunt?"
Raka and Ivan looked at each other, but neither of them said anything.
"It's time for you to go home. Don't let Tara lock you out of the house for coming home late," Ivan said.
Jonathan immediately laughed at Nico. "Or we can send durian fruit to Tara. Who knows, she might want to use durian skin to tear Nico apart."
"You are so bad!" Nico immediately finished the drink in his glass. "I'm going to go home and enjoy my night with Tara. You singles will not be able to understand my happiness!"
Nico immediately left with a flower in his hand, leaving Ivan, Raka and Jonathan in the room.
"I'm going home first. Alisa is waiting for me. You two can talk." Although Jonathan was also an unmarried man, he still had to take care of his daughter. It could be said that he was a slave to his very sweet daughter..
After Jonathan left, only Raka and Ivan were left there.
Raka took the initiative to pour wine into Ivan's glass. "About what you asked me earlier, it wasn't my mother's words, but Raisa's own."
"What?" Ivan's face immediately changed. "What does it mean?"historical
"Raisa fell in love with you, brother," Raka laughed. "You know that your appearance and personality can attract a woman's heart so easily. No wonder Raisa is in love with you."
Ivan couldn't digest Raka's words at this time. He never imagined that Raisa would really fall in love with him.
They worked together for about half a year, but Ivan didn't notice that Raisa's attitude had changed to him.
Ivan considered Raisa to be his own younger sister, so he never saw her more than that. But when he heard Raisa's true feelings, Ivan felt a little anxious.
"Raisa is still very young. She has many other options. She doesn't have to suffer with me," said Ivan.
"If Raisa insists on marrying you, I can't help you, brother. Raisa is a good girl. Aren't you and Raisa getting closer after your engagement? My parents really don't care about your position in Atmajaya Group. They are quite satisfied seeing Raisa's change," Raka said with a smile.
Ivan then recalled Raisa's work. At first, Raisa was really careless and clueless. But she had a passion for learning and improving.
After a while, Raisa became more and more accustomed to her job. Every day she would come to the office full of energy and bring joy to everyone there. Every now and then, her eyes seemed to sparkle as if waiting for Ivan to praise her.
Ivan was gentle and warm. He often praised and showed support for Raisa. Did his attitude make Raisa misunderstand and develop some feelings that never existed before?
"Raisa is a good girl. After Anya gives birth, Aiden will return to work and I will hand the Atmajaya Group back to him. After that, I may go overseas and take care of a branch there. Raisa is the only daughter in your family. Are you willing to let her go abroad with me?" Ivan asked.
"Don't worry, we can visit her at any time," Raka's answer left Ivan speechless.
Raka completely trusted him, Raisa loved him, and Raka's parents liked him because he could bring about a good change for Raisa.
Ivan had no reason to reject this marriage.
"Maybe she's only feeling it for a moment. Who knows if she will find a man she truly loves later? I think there's no need to rush things. It's still not too late to decide," Ivan's words were very clear. He didn't plan to get married anytime soon. He intended to give Raisa time to rethink her feelings.
And he didn't want to talk about marriage for the time being.
