Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 40
Advertisement
While looking at Harry curiously, Reihan asked again.
"Is your wife causing trouble? Or did your first night not go smoothly, as you imagined?" Reihan asked with a serious expression. But what Harry said was ridiculous.
So that Harry immediately glared at him. And made Reihan chuckle.
"I am just kidding! Honestly, I'm just confused to see you not excited like this. Even though your wife had come in a very fine state. If it turns out you came here too, why don't you all come together here. Or at least ask her to wait for you here," Reihan said casually.
Harry looked at Reihan.
"She came here today?" he asked, who got a nod from Reihan.
"Yes, I don't know exactly when she came here because she didn't come specifically to meet me. But because she wanted to meet her co-workers here while giving some souvenirs and chatting for a while. I accidentally bumped into her when she was going home," Reihan explained.
Recalling his meeting this afternoon with his former employee, Cleo, as well as a woman who was now his best friend's wife.
Harry frowned.
"She gave souvenirs to former co-workers?" Harry asked in surprise. And Reihan said yes again.
"You did not know?" Reihan asked back. Harry didn't answer. Mad Reihan explain again.
"She came with some parcels to share with some of my employees. I think it must have been done as a form of gratitude and gratitude to all the friends here. Doesn't that show she has great empathy for many people around her?"
Even though Reihan was not close enough with Cleo. But Reihan knew that Cleo was a very persistent and painstaking worker. Reihan also often saw Cleo helping out his co-workers whenever she had time.

And Harry listened to his explanation very well.
"Are you sure you didn't see wrong? So all the groceries she spent at that time were actually for her friends who were here? Are you sure??" Harry asked in disbelief.
Now it was Reihan's turn to frown.
"What are you talking about ?! Don't confuse me! What could I see wrong? I clearly heard all my employees excitedly discussing the gifts that Cleo had brought for them. So how could I still be wrong?!" Reihan argued confidently.
While Harry didn't flinch, Reihan suddenly thought of something.
"Geez! Don't tell me you've been underestimated Cleo pretty bad all this time?" Reihan guessed, hit the spot. Because Harry didn't make any rebuttals or evasion.
He only showed a facial expression that failed to be understand, so Reihan looked at him in horror.
"You really don't know or are you pretending not to know?" Reihan asked, still in disbelief.
Harry gave no reaction. Made Reihan finally gave up.
'Fix! This man really doesn't know anything!' he screamed to himself.
"Oh come on. Don't you really know what the real reason she wants to marry you?" Reihan asked helplessly, "Even though I'm sure you couldn't possibly ask her, shouldn't she have told you this? Or at the very least, don't you usually investigate him first?"
Reihan knew very well how Harry was. That man would have been very diligent in asking his secretary or whoever it was to investigate everyone who would come into contact with him.
Especially for a woman who will become his wife. But what was this? He didn't do that?
Being stared at by a pair of eyes sparkling intensely made Harry lazy to make small talk. He then asked lazily.
"What is the reason?" Harry asked, who succeeded in making Reihan sigh. Harry frowned in response to Reihan's gesture.

"Maybe you think she's doing this because she wants your money. But far beyond that, she actually did it because she had a large debt to a moneylender, "
Hearing something that took him by surprise, Harry narrowed his eyes. Tried to focus. Debt? What debt was Reihan talking about?
"I don't know exactly what the full story is. But based on information I overheard, Cleo was forced to pay a number of debts left by her uncle and work in several places from morning to night, just to pay off all his debts," Reihan complemented.
"Luckily, all of a sudden. You just suddenly offered her a very lucrative offer. If she wasn't a dumb girl, wouldn't any girl immediately take advantage of your offer?" Reihan continued.
Harry listened to Reihan's explanations without giving any arguments. Even though there were many things that had been spinning in his mind, Harry didn't know how to respond.
Too much information has been uncovered unexpectedly. Starting from his grandmother's story, Reihan's facts, and Cleo's attitude that didn't explain anything. Everything made Harry rethink all his reckless actions yesterday.
The lawsuit had clearly the wrong address. And to make sure, Harry immediately asked Dirga to investigate further about the woman once he returned from Reihan's place.
And sure enough.
After getting a hunch after he received a call from Cleo a few days ago about her innocence in using Harry's credit card, Dirga on his own initiative investigated the matter directly.

The chill seeming to stab the nerves in his bottom.

He saw a dull pair of scissors on the sink to his right and decided to get to work.Update: I deleted some of the extremely detailed descriptions in the first chapter because the goal of the chapter wasn't really to gross people out. It was to show detail to what triggered Kyrie to do what he did.
