The Contest 

Aiden saw Nico staring at him, begging for his help to explain everything.

However, Aiden instead said, "I will not discriminate against your preferences. It's up to you to like a man or a woman. But when bringing your boyfriend back home, be careful not to be seen by the family. If this news reached your mother's ear, I am afraid that your mother will not be able to accept it." Aiden said sincerely.

"Yes. Be careful. At least think about your mother." Anya said.

Nico really wanted to cry to hear that. Why did he naively hope that his uncle would help him?

Even if he explained, Anya would not believe him. It was better if he kept quiet and accepted the fact that he liked men. He wouldn't be able to explain it even if he was foaming at the mouth.

And to make matters worse, his aunt and Tara were now close friends! If Anya told this to Tara, his plan would fail!
