Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 176 - 176 ( Bad Day )

Aretta who was dissatisfied with her failed plan started to look for other ways to annoy Harry through Martha. She then went to see Martha stir things up her mind.

"I know you love that guy but he never glances at you. Doesn't that mean you have to do something to his wife so they can't be together?" Aretta launched her reckless action to encourage Martha.

Martha who was consumed by Aretta's words spontaneously became angry and carried away by feelings.

Martha immediately assigned someone to harm Cleo. Made her regret marrying her current husband and ruining their happy married life.

***

Harry and Cleo who did not know about Martha's plan were still relaxing. Harry again teased Cleo with all his will.

"So you're not going to sleep?" Harry asked as he looked at Cleo with the corners of his eyes bent sharply.

Cleo surveyed her surroundings and walked to the other side of the bed while gazing warily. Cleo then asked.

"We're just going to sleep, aren't we?" Cleo asked while placing her butt on the bed carefully.

Cleo certainly couldn't get over yesterday's events and couldn't take Harry for granted after what happened. Harry who was now off the drugs should be fine.

However, Cleo was still feeling uneasy because she never knew what would happen. Harry had laid down on the bed and closed his eyes.

"It depends on your wish. I just follow it."

Cleo was already staring at Harry fiercely and hastily lay down.

"I'm going to sleep first. Don't bother me," Cleo pulled the blanket and covered herself.

Harry pulled the blanket over him from beside.

The two of them then pulled the blanket like a child. Until Cleo then sat back up and protested.

"Hey! Can't you let me sleep in peace?" Cleo snapped while looking at Harry.

Harry just looked relaxed in his place. Cleo then pulled the blanket roughly because she felt neglected.

Harry smiled secretly.

"Sleep properly if you want to really sleep." Cleo looked at him seriously.

"What do you mean?" 

"Don't go too far," said Harry in a lazy tone.

The two then stopped playing tug like a child playing tug of war. Cleo was forced to position herself further inside, not on the edge of the bed.

Harry suddenly turned around and looked at Cleo, took her by surprise.

"W-what is wrong?" Cleo was looking into Harry's eyes.

"Aren't you tired of being cold like this to me?"

Cleo showed her flat expression.

"Am I being cold to you?"

Cleo didn't feel that way.

"Impossible,"

"Willy can even be used as evidence. He liked you for several years. But you haven't opened your heart for him."

Cleo frowned.

"Actually, who are you want to discuss at first? Why did Willy's name suddenly come out of your mouth?"

"Forget and ignore it. I'm just talking baloney."

Cleo fell fast asleep not long after she yawned. Didn't want to argue long and feud. Cleo was more concerned with the drowsiness that struck. 

Entered the world of dreams and didn't want to worry about what would happen after.

Harry used this opportunity to touch Cleo's forehead. Stroked her head and said asleep sentence contains sweet words.

"Te amo con todo mi corazón, mi nina."

They both fell asleep in the silence of the night. 

*** 

Woke up in a much better mood because Cleo was safe last night. Harry had instead lack of sleep because of the other occupants next to him.

Sofia looked at him strangely when she saw her grandson was in a bad mood during breakfast.

"You didn't sleep well last night, Harry?" Sofia asked while spreading jam on her bread.

"Maybe yes. Maybe no,"

Christina looked at him in surprise.

"You make a joke?" Christina looked at Harry in disbelief, "What do you mean that 'maybe yes maybe no'? You really didn't sleep well or not?"

Sofia also wondered. 

"I got enough to sleep," answered Harry simply while clearing his throat.

Cleo was also curious.

"You didn't go to sleep right away when I'm asleep??

Harry shook his head weakly.

"I don't know. But we gotta go,"

Harry escorted Cleo to her course and said goodbye. Said that he would pick her up later when Cleo's class ended.

Cleo then went inside when she had seen Harry's car disappear.

***

Cleo refused Ethan's offer for the second time that wanted to take her home after their class was finished.

At the first, thought it was the best option as she had already texted Harry to pick her up immediately.

But in the end, Cleo regretted her unilateral decision to refuse Ethan's invitation and waited for Harry. Stood alone waiting to be picked up and stayed alone at the course because Harry seemed to be arriving late.

Someone suddenly covered her mouth from behind. Drugged her unconscious and took Cleo away somewhere.

Cleo could only remember that she had struggled. But all of her attempts to defend herself and escape were failed. Her body went limp just as she smelled a scent. Everything then went dark.

Harry, who had just received a message from Cleo, rushed to stop all his work. Walked out of his room and ordered a few things for his assistant to continue.

Harry then hurried down to the basement. Took a car and deliberately did not invite the driver to take him. Harry didn't find Cleo right away when he arrived at the course. Started trying to contact Cleo, but the phone call failed to come through and was inactive.

Harry ended up impatiently waiting for a few minutes outside. Glanced here and there and the atmosphere of the course seemed deserted.

Somehow he could explain it, Harry had a bad feeling.

Anxious erratically and looked around on all sides. He kept thinking hard about the positive possibility that Cleo might still be inside because he had caught up with something and contacted him too soon. But somehow, Harry's heart kept telling him to hurry in and check things out.

Harry put his hunch first!

Walked in and asked anyone. Harry got an answer that confused him.

"Miss Cleo? Wasn't She out a long time ago?" said one of the women who knew Cleo.

Harry frowned.

"How is that possible, madam? I just came from outside but couldn't find her."

The informant remained convinced but confused.

"Is that so? Even though I'm pretty sure that Miss Cleo just walked out of her class after the class ended."

Harry was patient. Nodded in understanding and immediately contacted someone. On the second ring, the phone was connected.

"Tell me the phone numbers of your people I asked to keep an eye on Cleo. I need that number right away. I am waiting!" Harry's eyes flashed as he began to think about all the bad things.

Arthur sent Harry the number Harry asked for quickly. Harry didn't let a second pass by to contact them.

Harry uttered his anger clearly.

"What are you guys doing? Haven't you seen my wife come out of the course?" Harry asked with a series of threats that he was ready to make.

The bodyguard he contacted looked surprised.

"Hurry up and find my wife or you will die! Can't you guys work properly?!!" The man on the other end of the phone was terrified.

Hung up the phone in seconds and turned around.

The three people assigned to look after Cleo were being careless by going out for a quick bite to fill their hungry bellies which were screaming.

Another mysterious car parked theirs in a safe radius in an accessible corner to keep an eye on Cleo's presence. If they saw her out of the course.

Another secret bodyguard asked.

"What happened and who called?"

The friend who answered Harry's phone call was nervous.

"He must be Harry Miles. The man who assigned us to take care of his wife. And we are in danger right now!" the man groaned.

The other guards looked worried too.

Even though they didn't really know Harry Miles well enough. But the coldness of his attitude had been known by many people. And no one wanted to argue with him.

But the fact that he needed someone to look after his wife tightly, proved that he was being targeted by someone.

A very brave party against the madness of a Miles. The three men immediately worried about their own fate for neglecting the duties.

Then most importantly, what if something bad happened to his wife?

What will happen to them? And how did they endure his venting of anger?!

The three of them didn't want to imagine it.

Harry got the latest information from them.

"What?!" he said still in disbelief and tried to hold back the anger he was holding inside.

"Forgive us, sir. I've been looking for her everywhere and around this place. But we didn't find Miss Cleo!"

Someone suddenly came to see him. And it was Ethan. The man who looked surprised when he saw Harry was around his course, even though the person he should have known at this place had already left.

Ethan ventured to ask confusedly.

"What are you doing here? Are you looking for Cleo?" Harry wasn't ever happy when Cleo's name came out of Ethan's mouth.

Harry lowered his ego.

"Yes. I'm looking for her. And did you see her?" Harry hadn't still turn off the phone.

Ethan answered the question very well.

"Yes. She had attended my course. But, shouldn't Cleo be home long ago? She already said goodbyes to me. Then did you come to pick her up, but haven't found her yet?"

Harry immediately ignored Ethan. Ethan just watched.

"Hurry up and find her! Don't let anything happen to her! Because if that's the case, I will finish all of you at once!! You-all-understand? Go!! Do that now! And don't let me down!!"
