Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 162 - 162 ( Safe )

Harry didn't seem bothered by the question until Sofia's gaze was already darting at him with a series of disapproval and protest.

"You should pay more attention to your wife and take good care of her so that yesterday's incident doesn't happen. What if something bad happened to her again when you weren't with her. And you'll regret it later?"

Sofia's frightening statement managed to make Harry anxious.

Even though without his grandmother was saying it, Harry had more first been very anxious and unsettled ever since that incident. But was trying to stay calm in various ways. And didn't want to show this side of him to his grandmother.

Sofia then went home when she had finished lecturing Harry with her various advice and warnings and efforts that she thought he had to do to keep their marriage alive.

Harry listened to that very patiently. To the extent that he did not realize that his online meeting was still in the 'On' status. 

Luan and Arthur who deliberately didn't turn off the conference could only laugh out loud.

And then, was to be the first one to tease Harry.

"Oh, how funny. You just got some really useful advice to keep your marriage?" 

Arthur regretted that Alfin, Reihan, and Steven were not with them. Otherwise, the three men would have made fun of Harry. Alfin and Steven were two men who were the happiest when they can make fun of their stiff friend.

Harry was already glaring at Arthur. And stared scornfully at Luan who was laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Harry asked in a cold tone.

Luan couldn't help but laugh, even though he rarely laughed so freely.

"Sorry, man! But your grandmother is very funny and deceived by all the falsehood of your relationship with your contract wife. What would you do if your grandmother found out about something?" 

Harry didn't seem to want to imagine that. Arthur added.

"So are you going to listen to her advice and prolong your marriage, as Grandma Fi wants?" Arthur was used to calling Sofia that 'Grandma Fi'.

"Cleo will definitely have the full support of her," Luan chimed in, "And your grandma will have a hard time letting her go."

Harry whispered in his mind.

"That so am I. I'll have a hard time letting her go away from me too!'

Arthur suddenly turned out his statement.

"I feel there something strange about your grandma!"

Harry and Luan looked at him seriously through their respective computer screens.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked cluelessly.

"Yeah, Harry is right. What do you mean? And what do you purpose of saying that?"

Arthur seemed thoughtful.

"I just feel like your grandma seems to know something. To the point where she heard had found out something. But, is that possible?" Arthur asked back.

Harry certainly neither knows about the truth. So that he tried to remember and judge.

"Is that so?" 

Arthur shrugged his shoulders.

Answered that he didn't know and only predicted it. Arthur muse a little.

"Maybe. I don't know too. And I might be wrong."

They then resumed their discussion which had been delayed.

Christina arrived at the hospital where Willy was being treated. Just got word about Willy's accident from his co-worker at the repair shop. Christina went straight to the hospital today intentionally skipping class to see Willy.

She had already prepared some fresh fruit too for Willy and was worried about him. Although Willy's co-workers had said that his injuries were not too serious and he had received good treatment from the hospital.

Christina couldn't hide her shock when she saw Cleo was there too. Was seen taking care of Willy and kept helping him do some things. Christina noticed Willy's bandaged head first, after being surprised.

"Hi, Willyan. Are you had feeling better?" asked Christina worriedly then looked at her cousin-in-law.

Christina was wondering.

"What are you doing here?" 

Was surprised when she sure that Cleo shouldn't be there. And was maybe also resting at home because of yesterday's incident. 

Christina's curiosity tickled her.

Cleo greeted Christina.

"Hi, Tin!" 

Cleo then reasoned.

"I was just accompanying Willy for a while at the hospital. And then, actually, this wound I caused it," Cleo felt bad and embarrassed to say it.

But, the truth indeed should be told honestly.

Christina shocked.

"This wound caused by Cleo? How is that possible?" Christina asked, clueless and curious.

Cleo then spoke reluctantly.

"The incident that occurred at the construction site. The incident was manage saved by sacrificing himself. And I was able to avoid serious injuries because of his action. 

Christina nodded and immediately looked at the two in amazement.

"So, it was Willy who helped Cleo to survive the incident?" Christina asked again to make sure. 

Cleo nodded resignedly while smiling stiffly to admit her negligence.

Grateful that Christina didn't blame her for Willy's injured. Christina actually felt admiration for Willy who was willing to sacrifice to save his friend. And still didn't know that Willy actually did that not just because he saw Cleo as a friend.

Willy, of course, wanted more from her. Tried not to blame Cleo.

"This all happened through no fault of yours. Why do you keep blaming yourself for this incident?" Willy protested unhappily.

Cleo immediately looked at him and chimed in.

"But this happened because that person's target was actually me. You just happened to want to help me and were there. Otherwise, you certainly wouldn't have experienced all of this," said Cleo, felt sure if all of these problems had happened because of her.

Cleo recalled the threatening message sent to her some time ago.

Willy would have panicked if he found out. So Cleo didn't plan to tell him any of the matter.

Cleo preferred to keep it a secret because at least one person already knew, namely Harry.

Cleo was also didn't want to add trouble to other people.

Willy again disagreed.

"I had told you, it's because of your troubled project and unreasonable the workers. I don't agree if you are blaming yourself!" Willy reminded her.

Christina looked at the scene with a slightly uneasy feeling, then handed him the parcel she had brought.

 "I've brought some fruits for you. Do you guys want to taste it?" said Christina to dispel all of her jealousy when she saw the closeness of the two.

Cleo nodded in agreement with her offer. Helped Christina and chatted with her for a while. Cleo recounted in full of the incident that happened when she was trying to calm down the protesters. Until Willy suddenly came out of nowhere to help them.

Christina grew to admire Willy's heroic nature many times over. Continued to praise him through her meaningful gazes. Willy flinched.

"I can see your gaze. So, please stop that adoring stare of yours,"

Cleo and Christina chuckled when they got such a cold and bashful response.

For the past few days, Steylla had been confused by Alfin's unclear behavior and who had started acting strangely. After some time ago they met by accident at Reihan's cafe. Where, at that time, Steylla did not know that Reihan was the owner of the cafe.

Steylla was also made to be a little confused by Alfin's active attitude by bothered her several times with his annoying questions.

"Steven gave me your new number,"

Which the real meaning was that he asked her brother directly to be given that number and legal.

"I just want to know how you've been lately. Is it only your face and your appearance that has changed? But your character and behavior remain the same. Or, maybe vice versa. We certainly haven't talked in a long time."

Which could be interpreted as Alfin's interest in knowing more about Steylla's changes.

Steylla certainly did not like all of that curiosity. Felt very disturbed by all of his impatience in knowing anything about her. Steylla then shouted loudly at Alfin when she met the man today when she had to return to Reihan's cafe again because she had accidentally left her belongings.

Alfin was also turn out to be there when he was giving some of his reports regarding the spy he assigned to keep an eye on Robby at the whole of one this day. Robby seemed to be busy with his work as usual.

Alfin did not find any irregularities.

Then later, he saw Steylla was re-entering Reihan's cafe to ask for her left items to be returned. Alfin greeted that woman first when Steylla approached him.

"Hi! What's up? Do you need any help?" he tried teasingly.

Steylla looked to ignore him. She spread her arms in front of Reihan with a cold gaze.

"I'm here to get back what I left behind," Steylla said with all of the frantic feeling that she was hiding. Steylla tried to appear calm in front of the two men in front of her.

Didn't expect that she would be careless and instead invited the attention of Reihan, her former first love. 

Steylla still couldn't accept how many times they had met in a short time. Because, of course, she was still in the stage of completely forgetting the man.

"Can you return it?" Steylla asked impatiently.

Reihan just kept calm in silence. And Alfin even looked curious instead.

"What items were left behind?" Alfin asked curiously and tried to find out.

Alfin was quite impressed when he saw Steylla's appearance again, today. The woman wore a long dress that fluttered up to her bare shoulder sleeves with a string to support her clothes.
