Chapter 200 - 200 ( What Happened About Them? )
Cleo started to guess that maybe Julia had misunderstood something. And then, her acting in front of Julia might not be bad.
Julia had smiled a little mischievously when she heard her question.
"I\'m definitely not joking when I say that. Because I can see that you often blush awkwardly when you\'re alone with your husband. You think I don\'t know?" Julia chuckled lightly when she saw that Cleo felt a little uncomfortable.
Their conversation was cut short when Cleo saw Harry and his uncle already walking towards them. Cleo immediately whispered sadly to Julia.
"Your husband, ahem! Can\'t just reduce his charm in front of others. Always able to attract the attention of many people, especially the women who are now looking at him in awe. So, aren\'t you afraid if someday was there a woman will be attracted to him and want to take your husband from you?"
Harry and Daniawan had already offered their groceries.
"You want to eat something at first?" Harry offered in such a neutral tone of voice. But it was able to make a surprise because Julia\'s words of temptation echoed endlessly in her head.
Cleo smiled faintly. While Julia holds her laugh.
"You\'re buying something? What\'s that?"
Harry lifted his paper bag.
"Just a little meal with meat as a side dish for you."
Harry also offered another food box to Julia.
"This is for you. No need to hesitate. And take it."
Julia reluctantly refused.
But Harry still handed her the food.
"Then you can take it home."
Julia finally took the food box. Saying goodbye and thank you. Harry was still holding back Julia from going alone.
"Wait a moment. I\'ll have a driver to take you. And please, go with one of your bodyguards to escort you to the parking lot."
Cleo nodded in agreement.
"That\'s a good idea. Accept it and don\'t refuse."
Julia finally agreed.
Harry\'s team arrived later when Julia was about to go home. Alfin recognized Julia first and greeted her.
"You\'re here too?"
Julia greeted all the men who had come to visit Harry\'s family with a small nod.
"I have to go home soon. And welcome to join and visit."
Julia finally left.
And, Alfin then glanced at Steven briefly. After he realized something.
"What\'s up, bro? Why do you keep seeing her like that? Are you interested in her?"
Steven sneered and parried an impolite hand that was embracing his shoulder at will.
"Stop your bullshit and hurry up!"
The five friends immediately came to Daniawan, Harry, and Cleo together.
"Hello, Uncle Dani! Long time no see you," greeted every people and worried about what happened.
Reihan first asked about Sofia\'s condition.
"I heard from Christina that Mrs. Sofia had an accident and fell out of the bathroom. Is her condition alright?" Reihan asked worriedly and also curiously.
All of his friends seemed to have the same interest and worried expression.
Daniawan sighed.
"Mom has gone through a period of crisis. But we are still waiting for her to wake up. The doctor said that she might wake up tomorrow morning. Because of the anesthetic that they have given to her. You should be here tomorrow to see her if you guys want to see how well her condition is. But Uncle appreciates your good intentions who immediately came here when you heard this important news."
Arthur put on a concerned face.
"No need to worry, Uncle. Whenever you want we are ready to come here. If it is necessary to stay overnight either, we are so okay."
Daniawan then nodded. Glad to hear support from Harry\'s friends. Daniawan then decided to go into his mother\'s hospital room. After had heard, just one person was allowed in to take care of his mother for today.
Harry then looked at Cleo in surprise.
"Why haven\'t you touched your food yet?" Harry pointed to the lunchbox which Cleo kept touching without her was intending to open.
Reihan, Arthur, Luan, Steven, and Alfin glanced at Cleo in unison.
"Uncle and I, have bought it with great difficulty. So you better spend it."
Cleo lowered her head slightly.
"I still don\'t have an appetite," Cleo\'s hunger had suddenly disappeared just as the news of Sofia hit her feeling.
Harry chuckled.
"Not allowed! Eat obediently and don\'t use excuses out!"
Harry thought of a daring idea.
"If necessary, I will feed you from if you wish." This speech was like a checkmate for everyone to be stunned. Including Cleo, who already felt her cheeks turn red from being treated like a child nor a lover.
The five friends could only stare at the two lovebirds in front of them in turn and hesitated.
"What happened to them?" Luan suddenly became the first to mumble when Alfin who was usually always the first person to comment. He whispered to his group.
Reihan and Steven already shrugged their shoulders.
Alfin chuckled at Harry\'s petty concern which he knew that Harry wanted more and more to show his actions blatantly so that Cleo would be sensitive to his feelings. Alfin moved her eyes to the side to look at Cleo.
"You don\'t have to feel bad for us, Cleo. Think of us as the night breeze," Alfin with his fad nature, teased Cleo and joked.
Cleo could not help but choose to give in. Taking a seat on one of the waiting chairs and obediently opening her dinner box as she said her bye-bye to finish her meal alone. Because it was impossible to share it with others.
Harry still didn\'t want to take his eyes off Cleo. Pushing Alfin to sneer at him and shake his head in disbelief.
"Hey! She has eaten quietly there. But you still don\'t feel comfortable and afraid if your beloved wife suddenly runs away?"
Cleo coughed as she heard Alfin\'s clear words.
Causing Harry to rush over to him then put on an anxious face. After He forgot for a moment what Alfin was talking about.
Harry looked at Cleo very solemnly.
"Are you okay?" offered a drink and handed it to Cleo. Harry also watched Cleo gulp the drink down halfway.
The five friends kept looking at each other. Forming a circle among them and have a serious discussion. Steven was the first person to express his confusion.
"What was that just now? Didn\'t you say their marriage was fake? But what does this mean?"
The five of them still kept glancing at Harry once in a while and then to keep an eye on his caring disposition towards Cleo. Felt strange at seeing this unusual sight and tried to find out whether it was right or wrong.
The chatter between the five of them began to show their unrest.
"I also just saw this strange sight. So I want to ask first, did I see it incorrectly? Or am I just hallucinating?"
Arthur scolded Luan.
"You stupid! Just not you\'re the only one who questioning Harry\'s flexibility in giving more attention to Cleo! But the five of us!"
Reihan sighed.
"Could be Harry have drunk something wrong? Or, is her brain shifting because of her grandmother\'s condition?"
"Hey… how is that possible? Even if he was being sedated or given stimulant drugs, his logic was still fine! So, how could Harry\'s concern for Cleo be without a cause?"
However, only Alfin did not comment. Although he was also surprised to see Harry\'s concern for Cleo. And still want to doubt it.
