Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 85
Advertisement
Please understand! Because adult men today usually preferred to keep their own busy lives rather than have to get closer to their family.
Friends outside were usually more fun than family at home or in different houses but still in family relationships.
After seeing Sofia greet him well, Alfin welcomed his grandmother's embrace warmly.
"Hi, Grandmother! I miss you so much! And you just getting old! When are you going to write grandma's will for me?" Alfin asked with all his jokes that didn't mean to be serious and were just joking.
But Cleo didn't laugh at all. She looked at him dumbfounded and quite serious.
'Is that some kind of the new model of expletive?' Cleo thought.
Why is Alfin so brave to said nonsense that will invite a beating if Cleo was his grandmother?
However, Sofia also didn't seem to take be bothered by her grandson's words with the real meaning. So, Harry and Dirga remained calm demeanor.
Cleo noticed Harry's grandmother's reaction.
"You want me to die quickly?" Sofia asked with an expression that wasn't angry at all. Alfin pretended to frown.
"Is that not allowed??" he asked.
Sofia hits Alfin's shoulder lightly.
"Of course! Because there won't be any inheritance that I leave behind for you if I die!" Sofia replied with a crisp laugh.
Alfin sneered.
"Oke! No problem. Because I believe you will live long. And if you don't give me a bit of your wealth. I just need to ask my parents. They are also rich and I will live with up to 7 descendants! I don't need grandma's money!"
Cleo and Dirga looked at each other. Greeting Sofia as a courtesy.
"Hi, Grandma! I'm glad to see you again. But, do we need to get rid of your insolent grandson?"
Not kidding but seriously about her proposal.
Alfin looks at Cleo in disbelief.
"Why? Did I speak wrong?" Cleo said.
Dirga moved to the middle to mediate.
"How are you, madam? Thank you for your invitation and I'm sure you will live a long life."
Sofia laughed happily. And invited everyone to come straight to the dinner table.
"Alright! So, let's go to the dining room and fill the stomach!"
Everyone following her.
Alfin glanced around.

"Tina and Kiky, aren't yet home?" Alfin asked. Realizing that the house was very quiet.
Sofia answered, "Kiky is on a group assignment with his friends. And Tina is chasing who knows which prince is unlucky right now!"
Everyone seemed interested in Sofia's unnatural narrative and Cleo also listened to it.
"Tina is chasing someone else, now?" Alfin asked indifferently.
He pulled out a chair for his grandmother to sit down and sat beside her. Asked everyone to sit with them and everyone took their seats.
"I don't know! For this time, Tina didn't say too much. She just said this man was special and very different from the men she had been chasing after all this time," Sofia said with a lack of enthusiasm and sighed.
Cleo looked at her confusedly and accidentally voiced her thoughts.
"The men she's been chasing all this time?" Cleo repeated confusedly.
Everyone glanced at her. And Alfin was the first to respond with a voice that was quite tickling.
"Don't be too surprised by what Grandma said. Tina is indeed famous for her extraordinary record in chasing many handsome men," Alfin then glanced back at his grandmother.
"Then, is this time her attention is still one-sided love?" added Alfin.
Cleo caught those words with a strange feeling.
A woman as beautiful and as cute as Christina often experienced one-sided feelings of liking for her crush? Was it possible?
Cleo doubted that thought. Until their conversation continued about Christina.
Cleo found some interesting facts.
First. Christina turned out to be the type of woman who easily liked the opposite sex and tended to prefer men who ignore her.
You could say it was a kind of obsession with what she couldn't get. Christina, who grew up in a habit of life that was easy to get whatever she wanted, will tend to prefer things that she found difficult to get.
So that if the man she was chasing, she had succeeded in getting. Christina will keep that man in just one month, or at most three months.
Really character that almost like a playgirl. But Christina never played with the feelings of the man she was dating. She just got bored quickly with their togetherness for some time. And decided to end their relationship.

Hearing this shocking narrative, Cleo glanced slightly at Harry.
Harry must have known about Christina's habit too and had not reprimanded her because he never cared for anyone.
Included Christina, his cousin.
But the Christina personality that Cleo knows, is very different from what her family tells. So, Cleo is still quite difficult to be able to believe all those stories with a clear mind.
So, instead of just assuming nonsense. Cleo would be better off just listening to all their stories without thinking ahead.
Alfin is still excited about telling Christina's unique personality.
Second. Christina's relationship with her lover had always been short-lived and had a good ending.
Somehow Christina persuaded all of her exes to part with her on good terms. Not one of them was angry or upset at Christina's spontaneity. In fact, there was always a strong reason for a partner to propose separation. And questioned how the two of them could become distant.
Especially for their dating age who was still as old as corn. So it was difficult for anyone to guess what the criteria for Christina's ideal man were, who were always different and uncertain from time to time.
They always looked different in terms of appearance, character, attitude, and even their hobbies which were always never the same.
For example, when Christina told about her boyfriend in the past.
And sometimes invites them to come over to her house.
One of them has the appearance of a motorcycle racer. A few months later, a fussy nerd. Then at another time, Christina was also dating a lecturer.
Imagine!
He dared to hook up a lecturer at her college and that was fantastic even though the man he was aiming for was a young lecturer. But Christina still never cared about the status and title of her lover.
Cleo was silent.
Last time, when they met for shopping together. Christina looks different.
Looked very shy and innocent in expressing all that pouring out of her heart. But in reality, Christina was far more cunning than Cleo's mind?
How is that possible?
Cleo suspects Alfin is deliberately exaggerating his story to fool her.
Nodded in understanding several times.
@.w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l.o.n.l.y
Cleo laughed at herself as her thought was getting more and more disoriented, by glancing at Harry once again using her distracted mind.
Was this one of the reasons why Harry didn't really like women?
Because he thought almost all women were narrow-minded and not serious about having a relationship?
Cleo thought and trying to guess.
However, when Cleo wanted to think further about it, the subject that was being discussed came just in time. Everyone immediately stopped their discussion.
Christina, who had just returned from her college assignment, found her new joy when she saw the dining room filled with a few people she rarely met.
"Harry, Cleo, Alfin, and Dirga. Are you all come today? Why didn't anyone tell me? Because, if I know. I can come home early," Christina shouted while approaching everyone.
Alfin was the first person to greet Christina.
"Hi, Tin! You get home?" Alfin said.
Followed by Cleo who had given her a smile and Harry who had raised his head slightly to say hello.
"Hi! nice to see you get home early!"
Dirga was the last one to greet.
"Hi, miss. Welcome to home!" Dirga said, slightly bowing to salute. Christina responded with a nod.
"You came home a little late today?" Mrs. Sofia asked, asking about Christina's delay in arriving home. Though usually, Christina was already at home.
Or at least, if she had more business outside. Christina would definitely go home first to just take a shower and clean up.
"Yes, Grandma! There are many campus assignments. But I'm lucky that you guys seem like you're just starting out, aren't you?" Christina glanced at all the plates are still fully loaded.
This shows that their discussion at the dining table must have only been going on for a while.
"By the way, what have you been discussing since earlier? Can I join?" Christina asked cheerfully without noticing the almost stunned expressions of everyone because they've been talking about her.
Of course!
Sofia first glanced at Christina.
"If you want to join, quickly wash your hands and come over here. Grandma has asked the cook to make a lot of food today. And grandma is sure you must be hungry," Sofia exclaimed, asking Christina to clean up first before she joined.
