Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"I made it together with Aunt Ane. Already knew that you didn't like foods that are too sweet. But really like the smell of coffee. I sprinkled some creamy coffee grounds on this cake. Then, I hope you like it. And try it."

Cleo waited anxiously for Harry's reaction after tasting the cake. Those black eyes continued to shine brightly.

"How does it taste? Is it tasty?" Cleo asked excitedly.

Harry tried to explore the texture.

"You want an honest answer or an answer that pleases you?"

Cleo cast a meaningful glance.

"An honest answer that pleases me?"

"It doesn't taste as sweet as it looks. It made me reluctant to taste it because the appearance of this cake looks so sweet. But you've made it quite interestingly using the aroma and taste of coffee mixed with milk."

Harry paused his argument for a moment.

"Did I just act like a master judge in front of you? Even though I might not be good at making it even though I was given instructions."

Cleo's happy laugh widened.

"It doesn't take a high degree to judge whether this food is good or not, Har! Don't make jokes that don't tickle at all."

Harry replied confidently.

"But you laughed because of the joke I told."

Cleo shook her head weakly and relented.

"Okay. If you like it, spend it. So then, on another occasion. I'll make another one especially for you."

Harry agreed with the idea.

"I gladly accept it. But, as I said before. There should always be a return gift for every attention or gift of love from you."

Cleo widened her eyes, wondering about what kind of reply Harry would give her. Harry had already given a light kiss on Cleo's left cheek.

Surprising their private chauffeur who continued to watch his master's harmony while astonishing. Mr. Grey coughed without purposely. Choking on his own saliva. When Cleo was still touching her cheek and be frozen.

"This is thanks from me. However, I hope that no one is envious right now."

Harry glanced at his chauffeur with some special meaning. Stabbing and making Gray didn't dare to move at all other than driving safely, then pretending didn't to see and hear anything.

Harry and Cleo's arrival was warmly welcomed by Harry's extended family at the hospital. Presents a different atmosphere than usual. This intimacy and harmony were caught so quickly by Sofia's eagle eyes. After she has realized that something had happened between Harry and Cleo.

Sofia showed her warm and happy smile.

"I'm glad to see you two getting along like this."

This question invited question marks to spread throughout the living Sofia's patient room. Brought confusion present on the innocent faces of his family.

Kiky was the first to ask in a very confused manner.

"What's different about them? And why is Grandma happy to see them getting along like this? Aren't husband and wife supposed to get along like this?"

Being the youngest among all the men and women present in the room was not make Kiky smart in reading the changing situation between Harry and Cleo.

Although there were already some who felt Harry and Cleo were emitting a slightly different aura than usual. But no one was aware of what the difference was.

Sofia only kept the important information she had found and convinced for herself. Didn't voice it. And didn't also look for someone to share.

Harry then changed the subject.

"I've prepared a shop for Cleo. I'll build up that according to Cleo's wish. And gave her a freedom to set it up as she pleases."

Everyone is shocked. Including someone, who have surprised by Harry.

"Har! Neither of us has ever discussed this before! So, how can you make that patent statement?"

Harry certainly still hasn't forgotten Cleo's high hopes and dreams to open a bakery like her father's dream. Then Harry had also tasted Cleo's cake. And he had judged with confidence that the taste could be selling.

So why should he put off this brilliant idea and looking for another time, if they're can start planning from now on?"

All of Harry's family looked happy.

"That's not a bad idea. However, what shop are you going to build, dear Cleo?" Lily asked curiously.

She still didn't know about Cleo's big dreams yet. And to be curious about Cleo's special abilities. Then she was also highly recognized by her nephew who was stingy in muttering his praises and sincere intentions to other people.

Harry represented Cleo to answer his aunt's question.

"Bakery or cake shop. Just revolve around that two options. And Cleo's cake fits perfectly on my tongue."

Christina compliments Cleo based on Harry's words.

"That means it tastes really good. Because Harry even issued a rare statement towards your homemade cake!" A cheerful smile also spread on Christina's beautiful face, "So I started to be curious and tasted it too. And take your time to make it for all of us, Sis."

Cleo's face quickly turned red.

Felt over flattered. Though probably it didn't taste as great as Harry's words. Cleo gave Harry a meaningful look. But Harry ignored her successfully.

And some people are starting to be willing to lend any help they can.

"Auntie can help you with marketing or management."

"Then I can help promote it to all the colleagues that I have."

"I can also promote it to my college friends. And distribute voluntary workers even without being paid. If you are willing, I will help!"

"I didn't know what help I could give. However, I might be able to be like Bro Harry. Tasting the cake you have made. Then assess and give you advice?"

Everyone was willing to assist according to their abilities. Sofia didn't want to lose.

"While I know which locations are strategic for building a food business!"

Everyone looked at each other. Laugh together and love the cohesiveness of all their family members.

While the doubts are quite high still in Cleo's head. So she messed up a lot of people's happiness a little without being mean.

"Harry and I really haven't talked about it. So, how can I agree to it and trouble you all?"

Her knowledge and experience are also still lacking. Even though Cleo had secretly learned a lot from Ethan. Secretly had made a special request to Chef Ethan. So that, he could give her special attention and extra lessons to Cleo in her efforts to hasten her dream come true.

Harry gave advice.

"You should receive it with a happy and grateful heart."

"I haven't ever asked for it."

"So you didn't want it? And you want me to get someone to flatten it?"

Cleo was taken aback.

"Didn't you just say that you were still in the planning stage? But turn out, you have begun building it? Then, what do you mean by flattening it?

Harry quickly took out his cell phone.

"So, are you willing to accept it or not? Cause, one word from you will mean a lot."

This threat was uttered cruelly and too forcefully. As if it had no feelings and wasn't a gift Harry was giving her. But mandate!

This arrogance made Cleo let out a long sigh. While Sofia laughed inwardly.
