Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Ane also knew how much Mrs. Sofia urged her grandson to get married. And how her ridiculous behavior continued to want that, from some of the whispers of other maids who liked to talk about them behind secretly.

Ane could see that the young master was so desperate to face his grandmother and ended up having a marriage that he didn't want since the beginning.

Yes. Even so, Mr. Harry had always been cold and rude to others. Mr. Harry never got angry or yelled at her, even though Ane had made several mistakes, or even disappointed him greatly.

That man was like a man who was heartless towards others, especially women. But on the other hand, he was so attentive to those he considered family. And Madame Sofia was certainly in a slightly different case.

She always seemed more pushy and oppressive. Made Mr. Harry no other choice but to use anything against her. But always ended up obeying whatever the grandmother wanted.

Yes. Because of that, Ane knew that Harry was actually a good man.

He only had a trauma that was so acute and deeply ingrained towards one woman he had loved so much in the past. And if only in the past, that woman had not just left him for trivial reasons and also made him so hurt. The two of them must be married by now and have a cute child on their side.

But fate seemed to have another say.

While staring at the two married couples who were now married. Ane watched them silently.

Mr. Harry didn't seem completely unconcerned about his wife. He was just trying to be calm when they were together and not trying to bother anyone, even though he didn't answer his wife's simple questions.

Or, the master just simply didn't care about the question that Mrs. Cleo had just asked him?

No idea.

But Ane saw Mr. Harry several times stealing glances at his wife without being noticed. And since morning Mr. Harry had also been up very early and tidying up.

For what purpose. But as far as she knew, Mr. Harry was usually always at home, especially if it was his Sunday or holiday. It seemed that Mr. Harry was going somewhere for some reason without intending to articulate his purpose.

So Cleo just followed Harry's calm attitude. But, when she realized Harry's mealtime had turned a little longer than usual. Cleo looked at him with a slightly strange look then glanced at the clock on the wall with a little surprise.

It had been ten minutes since the man began his breakfast time at the dining table. But even when Cleo had finished her breakfast to the end. That man still left a little food that he hadn't finished perfectly?

Was it because Cleo's eating habit was too fast? Or the breakfast which this time was too difficult to digest? Why was it that even though Cleo had finished eating time, Harry was still at the dining table and enjoying it by himself?

Ah, this must be because today was a holiday and it's his leisure. Because of that, Harry did all his activities casually without being rushed by time as usual. Cleo thought positively and tried to ignore it.

But when Cleo just put her spoon on the plate and finished her satisfying breakfast. Harry opened his mouth to speak.

Cleo turned her head.

"Is Christina going to pick up you here?" Harry asked who finished eating and wiped his lips.

Cleo shook her head.

"Um, no. We plan to meet there," Cleo replied modestly. And Harry raised an eyebrow slightly. Cleo realized that and gave more explanation. 

"Christina already has an additional appointment for tonight with her friend. So that, in order to save time and help ease her work, I decided to go and return separately," Cleo explained.

Harry gave him his gaze for a moment. Then, as if considering something. Harry xpressed his thoughts.

"Then, I'll take you!" said Harry.

And Harry's unexpected words were ambiguous. Did he just want to offer Cleo a ride?

Cleo looked at him doubtfully.

"What?" Cleo exclaimed, did not understanding. And Harry resumed his words.

"Today is Sunday. And all drivers have been closed as usual. Then, because I'm also going out. I'll take you all," Harry offered very calmly and politely so that Cleo felt as if his words were not coming out of Harry's mouth.

What's wrong? Was he in a good mood today? Or, as he wanted something from her?

Ah, Harry can't possibly want something from her! Never mind wanting! If he wanted to buy anything that man can too. So, he was in a good mood today?

Cleo, who knew from the start that today, it was impossible for her to ask a driver to take her anywhere she wanted because this was their day off.

And even though all this time she also rarely used the facility. Cleo had intended on purpose to order an online taxi for her to go keeping her promise to Christina.

But because unexpectedly Harry offered her a ride. And realized she had nothing for him to ask for and want. Cleo decided to immediately accept the offer without asking many more questions before the man changed his mind.

Cleo finally said, "Good. Then, let's go now. And thanks for the ride." 

No less than 30 minutes, they arrived at their destination. Harry was dropped Cleo at one of the mall doorways and then drove away. Then left her without saying anything.

Cleo finally can breathe freely.

Because along the way, they didn't have any conversation. Cleo also had no intention of reducing Harry's good mood. Chose to stay calm in her position and did not provoke a scene.

Honestly, Cleo was afraid that if she did that Harry would be offended or may be angry with her and just dropped her off in the street. Without Cleo intended to do that, suppose.

Yes. She didn't know what Harry would think if he was silent or talking. So the safest way for her was to make peace with the situation and get used to it.

Then it was Christina who was waiting for Cleo in the lobby. Approaching Cleo, who had just walked into the mall and greeted her excitedly.

"Did you just arrive?" Christina said happily as she walked beautifully wearing her dress that fluttered gracefully towards Cleo.

Cleo who saw Christina approaching her, looked at her with a smile.

"Yes. Did you wait long?" Cleo asked, feeling uneasy.

"Sorry. I didn't know that the traffic would be a little jam earlier," Cleo said apologetically quickly.

Christina immediately understood with a smile.

"Sis, take it easy! I also just arrived! Btw, who did you come with?" Christina asked while glancing toward the front door, looking for the vehicle Cleo was supposed to be carrying.

Cleo replied modestly.

"I came with Harry," Cleo replied with a smile and looked at Christina with pleasure.

Christina appeared very beautiful today. Her light makeup and charming smile. Able to emphasize how attractive the woman was. So if Cleo were a man, Cleo would have fallen in love with her since the first time they met.

And it's not only her appearance that can attract any man to her. Christina of course also had some interesting personalities.

Hearing the name of her cousin mentioned, Christina immediately felt interested.

"Harry? Wow! Why didn't you invite him to join in? I'm sure it would be more fun if Harry could come with us," Christina said excitedly with her gaze which kept on focusing on Cleo.

Cleo responded with chuckles.

"I don't think that's possible. Your brother Harry already has an appointment outside the house. So maybe next time we can invite him,"Cleo explained softly. And believed that the opportunity might be very difficult for them to materialized.

Christina gave an understanding nod.

"Good! Then let's just go upstairs for a walk!" Christina invited excitedly while holding Cleo along with her.

Cleo who realized something asked quite curiously.

"Oh yeah ... if I may know what your friend is like?" Cleo asked to open the conversation about Christina's friend whom she said she would give a gift. 

On the phone at that time, Christina clearly hadn't explained anything about it. So it would be weird if she gave input but didn't know anything about that person.

Christina looked at Cleo with her curved eyes.

"My friend?" Christina hesitated for a moment.

"Ah, a friend I want to give the gift to?" She asked quite awkwardly. She then continued her answer after thinking hard.

"I have no idea. To be honest I don't really know him yet. But from my point of view, he is a kind person and also helpful. That's I think," Christina said sweetly as she let go of her grasp and entered one of the shops on the first floor.

Made Cleo even more wondering and want to find out.
