Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 213 - 213 ( Devil's Temptation )

"Was there any problem? Why is your face so gloomy? And unlike usual, you're still sleeping this late?"

Steven walked forward towards Steylla. Approach her, then sat beside her bed. Steylla who was surprised immediately pushed her bad thoughts away while shaking her head. Yawning once after a good night's sleep was hard to get it by her tonight because of Reihan's selfish words.

"I'm probably just tired after a full day's activities yesterday. And just wanted to be lazy girl," Steylla tried her best to neutralize her facial expression so that her brother wouldn't see her anxiety.

Got up from her sleeping position and sat facing Steven. Steylla welcomed her brother's arrival with a look of wonder and wonder.

"What brought you here? And why so suddenly you're come into my room without knocking on the door?"

Steylla never got angry or protested if Steven entered her bedroom without permission. However, if she thought back to how her brother had been all this time.. Steven must have knocked on the door before he entered his sister's room.

Then, this perception was finally confirmed by Steven.

"I've knocked on your door several times. But no answer or reply from you. To the point where I thought you might have left so early without telling me."

Stella smiled faintly. Admit her mistake and change the topic of the question.

"Okay. I understand. So what's your purpose here?" Steylla was still waiting for the answer.

"I want to ask how was Reihan? Did he get you to the apartment safely yesterday? Then, did you notice anything strange about him that day?"

Steven then added an explanation after he saw the confused look on Steylla's face.

"Ah, so this was. He didn't answer my calls. And messages from his other friends also he did not respond or give replied. He seemed to have disappeared without a trace. And I'm so curious about it."

Steylla puts aside the fact that Reihan didn't drive her home. It was because of their cold fight and Steylla's departure without looking back again at yesterday.

Stella shook her head faintly.

"I didn't find anything strange, Bro. He behaved as usual. And he has also taken me everywhere with good intentions."

Steven nodded in understanding. Didn't asked anymore and leave the question floating with just such an answer. Steven then rubbed Steylla's head.

"Okay. If so, take a break. I'll leave you to laze around if that's what you still want. Then if you don't feel well, tell me directly."

Steylla returned Steven's warm touch with a weak smile. Keep giving a warm and grateful look after being comforted. Even though her brother didn't know how upset his sister was.

Steylla snuggled back under the blanket. Wondering, what the hell was up with Reihan? And why doesn't he answer messages and calls from his friends?

Steylla decided not to think about anything else after that.

in another place.

Cleo looked for Harry's figure again when she opened her eyes again. She looked around but couldn't be found the face she wanted to see after the lengthy story Harry told her this morning about what Aretta went through.

Strange anxiety ran through her body for no apparent reason. The result of a terrifying incident that occurred last night after an intruder managed to break into their home and ruffled their room.

Cleo immediately sat up straighter.

Cleo immediately sat up straighter.

Touching her head which was just starting to adapt to the environment around her.

Cleo then called Harry's name once.

"Harry..."

Thinking that maybe Harry would be able to answer her question.

But the replied to Cleo's call was silent. No answer to her call. And Cleo seemed to be alone in her room. So, disappointed at did not find Harry's figure, Cleo then got off the bed.

Walked into the bathroom and intended to wash her face and refresh her mind. The sound of the shower was heard and came from inside the bathroom. So Cleo spontaneously found out his identity.

"Harry...is that you?" Cleo asked in a worried tone.

A man without clothes then came out of the bathroom. Frightened Cleo who was in the doorway and trying to overhear any sound in the bathroom.

Or, if possible the answer from the toilet user.

Harry had appeared and surprised her. Accidentally bumped his bare chest without a thread in Cleo's ear by accident when he had opened his bathroom door.

Cleo cursed in annoyance.

"Oh my, Harry! Why do you have to surprise me like this? Not answering calls from me and only coming out after made me very wary."

Harry stared at Cleo for a long time. Putting on a confused face and didn't understand what Cleo was complaining about. He was busy drying his hair with a towel as he came out of the bathroom. He rubbed his hair a few times with a white towel used his right hand.

Harry still hadn't found the fault of his actions. He was just taking a shower and wanted to refresh his mind. However, Cleo immediately realized Harry's mistake.

"You shower with Bluetooth earphones in your ears?"

Cleo snorted.

No wonder Harry couldn't hear the call. He had plugged his ears with earphones, even if only with one earphone.

Cleo also rolled her eyes half annoyed.

"My mind is in a mess. So I did some simple refreshing by listening to music," Harry removed his right earphone from his ear.

Cleo screeched back even more excitedly after she lowered her gaze.

"Kyaa… why did you go out with no clothes on?"

Cleo tried to cover her entire face, especially her eyes with two hands. Feeling so embarrassed when she saw that sexy broad chest standing in front of her eyes, without a cover. Cleo could at least still be grateful that Harry was still wearing a towel to cover his lower body.

But, was she really grateful for this luck? When her heart was not ready to see the amazing scene before her eyes?

Harry had another straight face.

"Why? Is there something wrong?" he asked not understanding why he kept getting reprimanded.

He was used to coming out of the bathroom wearing only a towel and realizing that his burly body was hypnotizing Cleo's mind. A smirk crossed Harry's face.

He took a step forward and drew closer. Harry also stopped all his manual hair-drying activities. Turned back and bowed slightly, because Cleo's body was shorter than him.

Cleo was spontaneously nervous.

"W-what do you want to do by leaning your face forward?"

Cleo turned her face to the side. However, from out of the corner of her eye she could clearly see how many drops of water were still clinging to Harry's slender body.

Oh no!

This is the devil's temptation! And this is very dangerous!

So, that Cleo began to suspect. Could it be that Harry didn't dry himself on purpose when he came out of the bathroom? Deliberately wanting to show off his superiority to Cleo and hypnotize her?

"I'm curious. What are my mistakes? Because you protested so easily to me. And found many flaws in my whole attitude from the start."
