Sofia couldn't stop thinking. She thinks Adhitya's movement was still a secret. So didn't be surprised if employees start to get restless and the spread of gossip was getting out of control.
Sofia sighed.
"I will deal with that problem. You guys are just necessary to calm down and trust me. Because everything will be fine once Harry comes back."
Martharine suddenly looked for Daniar's figure. She looked around. Unfortunately, she didn't find anyone.
"Where is Aunt Daniar, Granny? I haven't seen her since a few days ago. I'm sure she should have stayed beside you. Especially after an accident on that day."
Lily followed the direction of Martharine's gaze. She just realized that Daniar had not been seen for several days. If she asked for leave. Lily should have been the second person to know that.
Sofia was silent for a moment then spoke after finding the right reason.
"One of her family fell ill. She had to return to her hometown. She didn't have time to ask your permission because she was in a hurry. I've also given her permission. I can't force her to quickly come back. But she has agreed that she would come back when her family recovered."
Lily looked back at Sofia.
"Do you want me to find a substitute nanny? I can look for her immediately. Daniar maybe need take a long time to return."
Sofia shook her head.
"No need. I'm tired of having to adapt to a new nanny. My body is healthy. And you don't have to worry. Because from right now on and a few days ago, I will be busy. So, I won't have much time to complain at all."
Christina was suddenly annoyed.
"If anything is well. Harry should do his job as well. He didn't need to let Granny step in to do his job for a while. To the point of causing unrest from many parties."
Sofia had a hard time replying to Martharine's words. Because at the moment Harry was not in good condition. He was lying weak in the hospital. Every time she remembers it, Sofia's heart feels so sore. To make sure Harry was okay and to know his condition well. Sofia even told Daniar to keep Harry by his side. And Ash, Sofia asked him to help Daniar after the man finished taking Oscar to come to this city.
Sofia gave Lily and Christina the peace that Lily and Christina wanted from the start.
"After all, Harry has returned. So you two don't need to worry. He will resume his duties while burying those untruthful rumors."
Two pairs of eyes that were watching Sofia, lit up.
"Is that true?"
A relieved expression fixed.
"Thanks for that."

On the other hand.
Cleo, who was overjoyed at Harry's return, had a hard time keeping herself away from Oscar's side. She clung like the moss. Nor did she leave her man alone. When many questions were swirling in her head.
She said whatever she wanted to say and asked. Her whole head was full of their future plans and worries for the past few weeks since she lost communication with Harry.
Oscar couldn't help but stare in pain while giving his best smile. Kept happy when he could give Cleo fake happiness. And concerned about Cleo's poor fate because she had to be deceived by him.
Oscar still found out difficult to portray Harry's character well. He did not understand less the ins and outs of Harry's house. He has been given a brief overview of Harry's house sketch. However, this house kept giving a foreign feeling to him.
So, he unconsciously issued a confusing question at the night. When he was just ushered into the bedroom. He seemed to have discovered an important matter that he had almost forgotten about. He voiced stupid questions without thinking.
"Is this our room?"
Oscar looked like a guest. He turned his gaze in all directions. He also showed his clumsy attitude unintentionally.
Cleo nodded without suspect. She walked into the wardrobe to get a change of clothes. Oscar looked around. He was looking for a strategic place for him to unwind.
"I just changed the decorations of this sleeping room a bit and added a few personal items on here. I'm sure it doesn't change too much anything positions that have existed from the start."
Oscar replied casually.
"Did I ever say that I will be mind if you change this room decor? I'm sure you have quite a bit of freedom to set it up. Including the entire contents of this house."
Cleo was silent for a moment.
"You usually don't really like it if I mess with whatever you've neatly arranged. You were less comfortable if one or some objects began to move from one place to another. You also once forbade me to touch your stuff, through Dirga's speech."
It was a time when Cleo was still a new resident in this home. Her status was also as Harry's contract wife. And finally, she tried to fit in well at that time.
Oscar didn't look surprised.
"He-em. Harry is such a man, indeed."
Oscar corrected his statement quickly.
"I'm always like this, indeed. So I don't be surprised if you worry about many things. However, from now on. I'm not going to bother with that things. you are free to do whatever you want. As long as that was there within reasonable limits. I will not restrict your movement."
Oscar gave Cleo a casual mix with a serious warning.
He didn't want Cleo to finally get into trouble after he was caught messing up all of Harry's belongings layout.
"I will freshen up myself at first. And stop staring at me without blinking. Because I'm not heading for an exit door. But a bathroom door!"
Cleo let out a long sigh as Oscar entered the bathroom.
She watched Oscar leave. Then she received one incoming call from Julia, who began to call her frequently just to ask about how she was or to relieve boredom.
From the story that Julia shared with her, Julia was said to be studying in the city of Bern. She was given a special private tutor to teach her German.
She was also given a little knowledge of their country's history. And invited to tour to find out how the development of that city.
Julia didn't really have much free time. But she always took the time to check on Cleo's condition since Harry was said to be busy and difficult to accompany Cleo.
Until finally, Julia was happy to hear Harry's return today.
Cleo's cheerful voice sounded clear. Happiness radiated from that excited voice. After repeatedly, Cleo busies herself with many activities all this time.
Cleo added the good news to Julia.
"I also have other happy news. This news came straight from Harry. Then, if you want to know how the full story Harry could find out earlier than I did. I will share this information later when we meet in person one day."
Julia couldn't help but be curious.
"What good news seems overwhelming?"
Cleo couldn't help but smile and her heart pounded.
"I'm pregnant, Julia. And this is very awesome news!"
Julia thought for a moment.
"You're pregnant? Wow! This is amazing! There was no more pleasant news than this after Harry's return. And I'm really curious how this story was able to carry on bu Harry on his shoulders when he came back."
Cleo moistened her lips while gently caressing her stomach.
"I'll tell you later. And thank you for your congratulations."
Julia laughed.
"I will certainly congratulate you. And always be healthy for both of you!"
"Yeah. Thanks."
The conversation didn't last long. Because Oscar was already out of the bathroom. His hair was wet. He also acted like someone who had just traveled a long way and looked tired.
Cleo looked at Oscar's naked body. He was sure he had given Oscar a change of clothes. But Oscar actually came out shirtless.
Oscar noticed the center of Cleo's eyes.
"A pajama you gave me accidentally fell and got wet."
Cleo shook her head then handed Oscar one new pair of clothes.
Cleo shook her head. Then handed over a new cloth to Oscar. Cleo stared at Oscar's body for a bit longer. She had seen Harry shirtless before this. She had even touched it before too.
But, was Harry's body shape look like this?
Cleo looked as if she had discovered something different between Oscar and Harry.. She stared unblinkingly and asked.
