Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 43
Advertisement
Sofia looked back at Cleo, "Come on! Eat as much as you want. If something is still missing, I will ask people to add it. "
Cleo smiled happily in return.
"Enough, Grandma. I think there is only one missing. Namely, the food reservoir in my stomach. It will be better if my stomach is elastic and can accommodate as much food as there is here, " Cleo said half jokingly.
Everyone laughed.
Joking a little and telling each other about anything. Until a statement that was originally mentioned disturbed Cleo's calm in the middle of a talk with everyone.
Everyone drew their attention to that statement.
"Don't you look stiff enough to be called a husband and wife?" Christina asked, without any particular intention, but succeeded in making Cleo and Harry look at her seriously.
"W-what do you mean?" Cleo asked while still maintaining her smile.
"Haven't you been dating for a long time and are now a married couple? Then, why don't I see you guys like a couple in general? "
Honestly, Christina's words might just be a form of curiosity. Christina could not have been suspicious of her relationship with Harry.
But what she said touched Cleo's soul and body without her being able to prevent it. Because of that Cleo immediately panicked and lost her words.
Unlike couples in general? What do children still in college know about husband and wife couples in general? Just so she knew, they certainly couldn't be categorized as lovers in general because they were just husband and wife in a contract!
So, what did this cousin-in-law expect from them? Hugging each other affectionately and hugging lovingly in front of everyone like a couple in general?!
If Cleo did that, Harry would immediately bury Cleo alive right away!
The letter of agreement clearly states that the second party was not allowed to touch the first party at will. Vice versa.
If there were the necessary conditions, they must ask each other's permission and get permission. That was a series of protocols that were ridiculous and absurd indeed, but really need to be obeyed because one of the articles was stated very clearly in their contract letter.
Because of that, Cleo chose to glance at Harry a little seriously enough. Didn't that man want to make an indispensable rebuttal? No way, right, should Cleo kept racking her brains to fend off all the attacks that come at them?

"Tina, don't start again with your ridiculous question! Do you expect Harry and Cleo to be romantic in front of you? You know what kind of character Harry is. He is too stiff to be categorized as a romantic adult man," Kiky's explanation succeeded in making Cleo stare at him with adoring eyes.
This was just a normal man in general. When a woman was being bullied, a real man can always defend her. Although his defense was classified in a slightly difficult situation to understand.
But, what did Kiky mean about a romantic adult man? Didn't Kiky just enter middle school? Why did this child, who was still unstable, know and understand such terms? Was he the type of boy who matured before his age?
"What your brother said is true. Don't make Cleo feel awry. Have you ever seen your cousin, Harry, being romantic to his woman?" Lily defended.
"He can just get married is very grateful. And now, you want this man who is even colder than ice cubes in the Arctic to show his romance to Cleo on the dining table? " Lily laughed at her own argument which flowed so smoothly.
Cleo can't help but feel bad. She smiled awkwardly.
"Auntie and brother are right, Tina. Your cousin, Harry, rarely shows his romance to me. But for whatever sake I can swear, he is the best man for me! Trust me, " Cleo said confidently. Fake confidence of course.
Cleo then whispered a little, "He is actually the type that is very shy. In front of you maybe he is cold. But in the back, um ... he's amazing," Cleo lifted one thumb forward and winked.
Who knows what Cleo's ambiguous words actually mean, Christina immediately chuckled in reply. Likewise the others, who also listened.
Sofia even smiled secretly to cover her amusement. So Cleo was forced to start smiling shyly because she felt that her words sounded ridiculous. But in order to cover up her relationship with Harry, Cleo was forced to normalize it.
Cared deeply by all the offensive stares Harry was throwing at her secretly. The most important thing now was everyone's satisfaction with the answer. 'Shouldn't Harry be grateful for this?' Cleo thought to herself.
However, Sofia's words not long after that surprised Cleo.

"Then, when are you planning to have a baby?" Sofia asked, very suddenly and without warning.
Her question shifted their entire conversation to something else, much to everyone's surprise. Especially Cleo and Harry.
Cleo looked at Mrs. Sofia helplessly. Meanwhile Harry stared at her with frowns and pouted lips. Then Daniawan and Lilyana with raised eyebrows. And Christina, with her great curiosity about the answer. And Kiky with his nonchalant yet curious attitude.
All members of Harry's family looked at Harry and Cleo in turn.
What was this?
Why did Harry's family members kept on making Cleo's heart almost popped out every time they asked a question? Didn't they know, Cleo's heart was very sensitive to sudden attacks?
Then when it seemed that Cleo didn't have the ability to answer it, Harry had already given a calm answer.
"We haven't planned it. We still want to be like this, " Harry said flatly which succeeded in making some people cheer.
Cleo played her role. Follow the groove.
"Yes, Grandma. We haven't thought about that in a while. So, grandmother, don't wait too much, "Cleo exclaimed awkwardly. Chimed in.
Lily immediately intervened.
"Mother, don't you force someone who is just married to have a baby. They were too early to talk about this. Right, honey?" Lily asked to her husband, asking for support.
Daniawan immediately nodded.
"That's right, Mother." Daniawan replied.
Sofia seemed to disapprove.
"Why so? Isn't the goal of a married woman and man to have a child or offspring? So why haven't they thought about it? " Sofia asked absently in return, which made Harry look at her in displeasure.
He put the spoon he was holding on the plate. Then look at grandma.
"After the old grandmother forced you to get married. Now you want to force me to have a child? " Harry sneered sharply right on target.
Sofia replied casually.
"Is it wrong?" Sofia asked.
Cleo immediately looked at the two of them anxiously. Why was this atmosphere starting to feel unfavorable?
Harry stared at his grandmother in annoyance. And Cleo tried to be a mediator.
"Grandmother! We did plan it!" Cleo shouted, competing quickly with Harry. She felt there would be uproar if she didn't take over this conversation.
Therefore, when Harry had thrown her an expression of displeasure because of Cleo's words. Cleo hastily added.
"We've planned it later, in two years!" Cleo said quickly before Harry cut her neck in one cut. Oh no! Too much maybe but seeing the frown on Harry's forehead, Cleo could quickly felt that his gaze was able to pierce her neck sharply without filtering it.
"Two more years?" Grandma looked at Harry and Cleo in confusion.
Cleo nodded, "Yes. We plan to have a pregnancy program in two years. It's purely my wish, Grandma! I ... I'm still not ready to have a child. I think I still need to study well first to be a good wife. Isn't that right, Grandma? " Cleo looked at Sofia doubtfully and timidly.
'This is logical, right ?' Cleo thought doubtfully.
Sofia sighed.
"Fine if that's what you want. Even though Grandma is a little disappointed, it's okay. Grandma will still support you. You do need to be a good wife first, before you become a good mother. Then .. how about you join your husband to go to the office tomorrow?" Sofia said calmly whose success made everyone stare at her.
"Go to the office?" Cleo repeated, doubting her hearing. So did everyone.
"Yes. Aren't you a good wife, you have to support your husband's work well? You introduce yourself to all the employees there. They must have been very curious to see you, " Sofia said again, who succeeded in making Cleo blink her two eyelids at the same time.
And Harry stared at Sofia with a sigh. Likewise with the others.
"Are you sure what you said that?" Harry asked unhappily, when he saw his grandmother just keep acting up.
"Why? Is that wrong again? " Sofia asked, also unhappy.
Cleo looked at both of them lazily. What's wrong with the two of them? Why do they look more like cats and dogs than grandmothers and real grandchildren?
Could it be that Harry was actually Mrs. Sofia's adopted grandson? Or because they didn't see each other and communicate for too long, they messed up? So, no one wanted to intervene?
