Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Alfin looked at Reihan with a serious look as that man continued to look gloomy. And then realizing that Reihan must be in his worst mood for the past few days, Alfin felt he needed to reprimand him. And if it was necessary, he would offer his help.

Alfin folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the wall when he arrived at Reihan's cafe. The man with a million calms turned out to be alone and lazy to do many things. Even though Harry had order Reihan to take the problem of intruders in his residence seriously and immediately.

"What's wrong with you? Have a problem and need my help?"

Reihan only realized Alfin's presence when he was reprimanded. Reihan also started to look around. Watching his workers were working in serious and nimble. There was a young singer who was quite famous, Reihan invited to fill the event at his cafe.

Entertaining the audience and if it was possible to increase the turnover.. Reihan's simple plan turned out to be successful. There were many young people who gathered and watched the stage performance of the traveling singer.

Alfin who was ignored threw peanuts at him. Took a handful of nuts for him to peel and eat. Alfin apparently threw more of the beans at Reihan with a displeased look.

"Stop throwing beans at me! And speak nicely while you can still convey sweet words to me."

Alfin complied. He walked closer to Reihan and sat beside him. Watched the look on Reihan's face several times from the most comfortable distance without being too chummy toward him.

"What happened to you? And which goddess of beauty has rejected you?"

Alfin's eyes turned in another direction. Glancing at the sexy sway of a beautiful woman who happened to pass them within sinless. But she actually has cast a poisonous net on all the men she passes.

Reihan who noticed that immediately sneered.

"Don't embarrass me with your uncivilized behavior, Al! And don't act like you're a wild horse that's just escaped from the stable."

Alfin served Reihan with a relaxed attitude.

"I… look like that?" asked Alfin with a super stupid face.

Reihan plans to throw Alfin some nuts on the table in front of him. Alfin moved quickly to restrain Reihan.

"Stop!! I'm just kidding! And don't be easily distracted like you're possessed by a demon. Also, you're not usually to be oversensitive like this." Alfin stepped closer and asked further.

"What's happen? And why do I feel like talking to a wall when you didn't answer my question?"

Reihan leaned back. Remembering what had pushed his mood down to the lowest point and difficult to revive.

Reihan finally opened the topic.

"What would you do if the woman you like now is the woman you've rejected so many times? Are you going to give up? Or going to strive? Then, if you want to make an effort, what kind of effort will you strive for?"

Alvin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He was like feeling some kind of suffocating feeling and he then furrowed his brows.

This surprised expression completely dispelled Reihan's mood, who had wanted to tell a story. Without, of course, he would be mentioning the woman's name. However, Alfin's stupid gaze and almost disbelief seemed already to drop Reihan's good intentions to share the story.

Even though it could be, Reihan wasn't ready to accept Alfin's taunts after, for example, Alfin knew that the woman he was thinking of was Steylla.

"Forget what I just asked. And let's pretend I never asked!"

Reihan decided to give up.

Meanwhile, Alfin's brain suddenly became very intelligent. After he recognizing how Reihan's long love history was. And of course, there was only one girl he had rejected so many times.

The brown eyes rounded. His mouth also became flabbergasted and shocked.

"Can you tell me who that woman is? And why does this story of yours sound so familiar??!"

Reihan frowned. Biting his lip and wet his lips in nervousness. Reihan chose to turn his face away.

Inviting more curiosity pinched Alfin's mind.

"You have special feelings for Steylla. And now, you are starting to get confused in determining your attitude? Whoa! How is that possible? Is it because now she looks prettier, even more than unbelievably pretty?! That's why your heart melts! And your hatred for her in the past has now completely disappeared without leaving a trace? Right?"

Reihan still showed a cynical look.

"I told you not to overdo it and judge from your point of view at will!"

Alfin took the empty glass that was on the table. Filled it with the whiskey that Reihan had just taken a sip as well.

"So, where should we begin with this interesting story of yours so I can give you wise advice?"

Harry and Cleo are still busy with their routine to share love and affection toward each other. Harry repeated Cleo's name in his sighs. Wanted to touch more and touched Cleo's heart. So that they both could feel how each other among them was mutual need.

Cleo had stopped her embrace for a moment.

"We'd better go home and continue this at home." 

This open offer made Cleo's cheeks heat up. And these words seemed to confirm that she wanted more. And she loved the warm touch Harry gave her.

Harry gave a crooked smile and was pleased to have been seduced so overtly.

Cleo corrected her sentence to sound better.

"I mean, it's getting late. And we are currently in nature. So, if you remain to let me stand in thin clothes, I might fall ill from enduring the cold."

Harry was well aware that Cleo was not familiar with the cold. Her body shivered easily. And Harry was certainly more concerned with her condition.

"Forgive me. I lost track of time and got carried away. Even though my original purpose was to show you the unique phenomenon of your pendulum. Because only when the sun goes down, the whole magical phenomenon can happen. So I've had to procrastinate all day long to bring you here until dusk."

Harry took off his coat. Give it to Cleo and help Cleo put it on.

Harry didn't forget to give a small rebuke because he cared too much for Cleo.

"You shouldn't roam freely in clothes this thin. Though usually, you will wear more comfortable clothes for traveling. Like jeans or other thick clothes."

Harry checked repeatedly how Cleo looked today.

"So pretty. But dangerous. Because maybe this thin dress of yours doesn't give you the warmth you need."

Cleo pursed her lips.

"Who do you think I am trying this hard for? This can be said to be our first date after we already know each other's feelings. So I want to show my best side in front of my greatest husband."

The word forgiveness Harry seemed to will always give to his sweet wife.

"Yet you never even gave any credit to please me. Even though I know I'm not a pretty woman. You should be willing to lie for me."

Harry defended himself.

"When have I never praised you?"

Cleo didn't dare dodge.
