Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Harry has long been considered a workaholic. So it would not be strange if he continued to dwell on work on the sidelines of his leisure time.

Cleo raised one eyebrow and stared coldly.

"You're still going to work even though you just came home so late?"

He nodded without looking up.

"Go to sleep at first. I'll catch up in about 2 hours?"

Oscar doubted whether the time he had stalled for was enough or not. But he really hoped that time would be of use.

Cleo tied her hair back. She showed off her high neck also skimpy and thin clothes. Oscar focused on staring at the laptop screen.

Cleo was still sitting and watching Oscar when sleepiness overtook her.

"Go to sleep when you're sleepy. I'll go ahead of you."

Cleo laid down on the bed. She pulled the blanket up and began to close her eyes.

Oscar peeked out from behind the laptop. He took a deep breath after seeing that Cleo didn't seem to be bothering him anymore. Oscar then sighed.

The appointed day finally arrived.

Cleo repeatedly warned Oscar to get ready and put on the clothes she had prepared. Oscar pulled an eyebrow in confusion at the outfit Cleo had chosen. He repeatedly frowned.

"Are you sure, I have to wear these clothes? We are not teenagers anymore! So, why do we still have to wear super sweet couple clothes? Was there a special event today without my knowledge?"

Cleo proudly wore a soft blue mini dress that matched Oscar's short sleeve shirt. Cleo's pleased smile widened.

"These clothes were clothes that grandmother has long chosen for us. I don't know when we'll have the chance to wear it together. So when grandma invites us to eat together. I'm sure he'll be very happy after seeing us appreciate her gift."

Cleo couldn't deny that she was actually a little uncomfortable too. He wasn't used to paying attention to similarities. He prefers to wear whatever clothes make her feel comfortable. Wearing a couple of clothes had never crossed her mind before.

But as this afternoon she was confused about what to wear better. Cleo took out an outfit couple that Sofia gave them as a gift.

Oscar rolled his eyes.

He never liked anything too sweet in a relationship. He was sure Harry was of the same type as him. But in the end, he decided there was no need to argue. He immediately swung his head towards the exit

"I understand. So it's best if we just leave as soon as I see that you seem to be ready too!"

Cleo nodded in agreement.

"Yes. OK. But I have to get my bag first. After that, tell Aunt Ane that we will be leaving soon."

Oscar let Cleo do what he wanted. He walked to the exit and waited for Cleo in the car.

Cleo stared at him for a long time when she saw Oscar sitting in the driver's seat.

"You will drive tonight?"

Cleo couldn't find Harry's driver around them. Oscar had rolled up the windshield and was getting ready to drive.

"30 minutes. We'll be there in 30 minutes. So, you better enjoy this trip. Then consider this journey as one of my special services for being willing to be your chauffeur!"

Cleo felt her head was getting spun. Her eyes were a little dim. She also felt her body suddenly become weak. After they had passed half an hour on their way to Sofia's residence.

Oscar's style of driving was so bad. Cleo was getting nauseous. But Oscar only realized his mistake after they arrived. Oscar looked at Cleo quite worriedly.

"What's happened to you? Is my driving style so messed up?"

Oscar did drive at above-average speed. But he could confirm that he was following safe driving protocols. Although sometimes Oscar overtook several other riders. As he thought, the riders were too slow.

Cleo touched her forehead. She kept her seat upright even though he had to support her head with one hand.

Oscar felt even more guilty and uncomfortable.

"You should have put me realized just from the start. You shouldn't only sit around and hold back!"

Cleo tried to catch her breath.

"I don't think you've ever done the reckless act. You always follow the security protocol. Your driving speed has never been above average either!"

Cleo recalled how Harry actually mostly travels everywhere with a driver. He rarely drives alone. Cleo didn't really know what her habits were like when she was driving alone so far.

Oscar chuckled. He led Cleo out of the car. They finally came in together. A warm and friendly welcome greeted Cleo and Oscar when they have stepped their foot inside. Daniawan, Lily, Christina, and Kiky rushed out to see them.

Cleo's weary face invited a confusing frown of many people.

"Did you just go on a long trip? Or, did you guys stop by somewhere before coming here?"

Martharine smiled awkwardly.

Lily hugged Cleo intimately.

"Glad to see you guys coming together, honey! You guys look so shine with your compact outfits."

Christina put a thumbs up towards Cleo and Oscar.

"Mom Alright! You two look so cute! So let's guess who bought you this couple outfit!!"

Cleo glanced at Sofia.

Sofia was descending the stairs and getting ready to welcome them. Sofia noticed the compact clothes that Cleo and Oscar were wearing. An uncharmed smile appeared on her flat face.

Sofia greeted Cleo and Oscar moderately.

"You're wearing an outfit couple I gave you?"

Cleo nodded cheerfully. Everyone finally knew who had gifted that couple's clothes.

Sofia led everyone into the dining room.

Christina nudged Oscar's shoulder. She looked at Oscar seriously and asked a question.

"Where have you been lately? And why are you so mysterious?"

Oscar had met Christina several times when they were kids. They used to play together. And Oscar was getting calm when Christina didn't even recognize him.

Sofia watched his expression from her eyes corner.

Oscar answered flatly and casually.

"I'm just working on a project."

Oscar did not describe in more detail what Harry was working on in the project. Because there was nothing he did after an accident happened to him.

Oscar pulled the corners of his lips up.

"I haven't seen you guys in a long time. Your appearance is still not much different from what I imagined," that small mumble, maybe just Kiky could hear it.

They both looked at each other unsuspectingly.

"I'm also happy to see you back, Bro. Even though, our encounter wasn't as long as your exaggerated words."

Oscar patted Kiky's shoulder. He had met Kiky a long time ago. But at that time, Kiky was still a toddler. And, now. Kiky's height was almost equal to his.

Sofia asked everyone to sit down.

"Let's start the dinner! And thank you for your acceptance of our invitation, Cleo."

Lily put her elbows on the table.

"Auntie who actually insisted on asking grandma to take you to come here, Har. We're missing you so much. We also wanted to know how your matters with Muliawan were progressing."

Oscar and Sofia looked at each other. Cleo also looked at Oscar with a certain look.

Oscar had no other choice besides to answer the question.
