Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Aretta should be on the run right now to avoid a big problem that might come her way. But in the end, she had to follow them out of coercion.

"What is your real aim? And why would you do that to my daughter? Isn't there anything that can clear your dirty mind? I really shouldn't have brought you back to this town! You really are just a parasite to me!"

Robby felt regret now. But he couldn't turn back time. And he could only be depressed at this point.

"I have no idea what you're saying at all," Aretta was still pretending to be stupid but Robby knew clearly that the woman was lying.

Robby glared at her.

"You're still pretending in front of me?" he hissed sharply and he made his gaze sharpened even more.

"I already know what you said to my daughter. And didn't imagine that you actually knew something and was so untrustworthy that you dared to betray me. So, is this reason you were abandoned by your lover?" Robby sarcastically made Aretta press his lips hard.

"You shouldn't bring up the matter and say things not important? It had absolutely nothing to do with it. And what do you really know about me?!" Aretta seem didn't to be able to agree with Robby's words at all.

Robby looked at her increasingly fierce and annoyed.

"You didn't notice that? The reason you were abandoned and suffered so much misfortune was because of your own actions. Because a bad woman like you would never be able to find a good man. Do you still think you can get a guy like Harry Miles?

There was a grimace painted on Robby's face.

"You're lucky because I still want to accept you at first. But now I withdraw my intention to accept you. You're better to disappear from my sight for good. Because I'm sick of seeing you!"

Now it was Aretta's turn to laugh at Robby's words.

"How did you know all of those stories? Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with someone? Or, have you been looking into my past problems? But, could it be?" Robby feels his past is quite secret and very few people know about it. 

Until he was not sure whether Aretta who had not been in this city for a long time even knew that. So, should he be better dumbfounded and amazed rather than angry and annoyed?

Aretta had made him very wary of the situation. 

"What do you really want from me?" repeat Aretta.

Reihan arrived just in time when the two had just started a more serious conversation. Reihan had managed to read Aretta's lips from the corner of his standing position.

Reihan has sent a chat message about what they talked about in the chat group.

[ 'Nothing too serious they talk about. They were just talking about Aretta was suddenly inciting her daughter to commit a crime. Did not accept Aretta involved Martha in the problems of the three of you to make your wife hurt. Robby also seemed serious when he says that he has not been involved in bullying Cleo. ]

[ 'Robby revealed that he purely just wanted your company to be destroyed to replace his company which was also destroyed by your father. Until he emphatically stated that he never meant to hurt other people. And for this time, Martha really took the initiative alone to harmed Cleo due to Aretta's incitement. ]

[ 'Should we do something toward this evil woman after we have taught Martha a hard enough lesson for her actions? ]

Reihan wrote a summary of the results of their conversation and some reply comments seemed to be sent quickly after all the chat members read the message.

And Alfin always gave the fastest response among the others. When everyone seems busy with their own business.

[ 'I seem to have an idea to work prank on her. Do you want to know? ]

Alfin seemed to be waiting for everyone's answer to attract their interest.

Steven, who participated in the chat message this time, seemed to have missed a lot of news. So he was wondering more clearly what the situation was.

Arthur gave a brief explanation in the chat message, then typed a short message to reply to Alfin's words.

[ 'What exactly do you want to plan? ]

Alfin immediately sent a reply message quickly too.

[ 'Let's just scare her. Find the weak point and we attack!! Isn't that the brightest idea? ]

Luan immediately replied to the message.

[ 'Do you know what her weakness is? ]

Alfin immediately pointed at it.

[ 'Of course, it will be your duty! ]

Alfin's agility in typing messages immediately made Luan activate the tired emoticon in his message.

Alfin had replied to the message with a chuckling emoticon back.

Luan then quipped Alfin who was not creative and only came up with empty ideas without useful ideas.

[ 'You better not use that idea of yours to prank other people. You've said that on purpose to add to my work didn't you, Aren't you? You wanted Harry to tell me to dismantle her entire past and her phobias so that I get overwhelmed, don't you? ]

Luan seemed to be able to read Alfin's line of thought quickly.

Harry who read the message immediately breathed a sigh of relief because Robby and Aretta didn't seem to be planning anything. So that, Harry then threw his cellphone lazily. And laid down on the bed.

The group chat notification sound continued to sound for the next few minutes. But Harry had no intention of replying. Busy to looking at the ceiling of his room and sluggish to do any activities.

Harry was already very curious about what Cleo might be doing at this point.

He really wanted to get out of his room and go straight to Cleo. Where he knew that Cleo had come out of her room and staggered downstairs when he opened the door slightly to seen the woman from behind.

Harry could sense that Cleo seemed to be still thinking about the incident and it was hard to sleep last night too. Harry then decided to walk out of his room, met Cleo when he might be feeling a lot better by now.

Cleo was daydreaming in front of the television when Harry walked downstairs and walked over to her.

Harry could clearly see those big round eyes dimming slightly as he stared at them in surprise and astonishment. Until he could see her cheeks slightly swollen from the stress that suddenly hit her all night.

Harry then pretended to pass Cleo. Walked to the pantry and took a glass of water to refresh his throat which was choked from not being able to start a conversation first.

Cleo was back again staring at the television screen when she saw Harry was already walking towards the pantry. Unfocused and without realizing what she was watching, Cleo continued to stare at the television screen without moving.

While Harry continued to stare at Cleo both confused and cold.

He still felt the need to be annoyed and angry because Cleo casually said she hated him so much that it hurt him so much. And she even misunderstood his words when he said that he hated every word Cleo said that continued to irritate him.

Should she be as cold as she used to be? Starting to forget all his feelings and should not dream of getting Cleo's heart, to want to make her change her mind?Harry who was impatient then walked closer to Cleo without intending to back down.

"We need to talk more seriously," said Harry calmly and not trying to be impatient.

Cleo, who had been unfocused from the beginning, turned and looked at him. Knowing that ever since leaving his room, Harry had been dying to say something to her.

Cleo didn't give any answer. Just staring with a flat gaze to did not dare to look in serious.

Harry had walked further towards her to sit down. Took a place where she can feel comfortable and didn't misunderstand him.

"First of all, I want to apologize," said Harry slowly. Cleo listened to him and looking at him. Shifted her gaze to the other side.

Harry kept saying what he wanted.

"If that's not enough, you can tell me straight away what I should do to make you feel better. Once again, I apologize to you. Feeling that I shouldn't have done that to you, to regret doing that to you. I realized too late that you must still be very hurt after that horrible incident."

"I admit that I am indeed a bad man. You are free to curse me!"

Harry repeatedly expressed all his guilty feelings. Until he continued to wait for the woman he cared about to revenge him. Cleo didn't seem to want to give any response. Felt afraid that if he said something, it would only make it difficult for Cleo to accept and even act embarrassing again.

Harry was looking at her seriously and knelt before Cleo. Cleo spontaneously became ashamed. She then spoke for the first time.

"Do you need to kneel like that?" Cleo had asked uncomfortably and was distracted by the stares that kept attacking her.

Harry was still staring at her.

"Are you still mad at me?" Harry asked with a pitiful expression. Cleo looked at him with a strange look.

Since when did Harry act like a puppy that had lost its mother? Was he really Harry that Cleo knew so far?

Cleo cleared her throat once while adjusting her expression to give an answer.
