Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 134

Worried that their lies might be exposed. Harry stepped forward to answer.
"What do you mean, Grandma?" asked Harry.
"Something so big and you should tell us. You don't want to tell us and keep it a secret?"
Harry and Cleo both frowned. Tried to keep pretending they didn't understand because they just didn't get it right.
"Grandma, don't make us so curious. Actually, what are you talking about? " asked Cleo, very frustrated. Cleo didn't want to assume quickly and thought that maybe grandmother didn't want to talk about their contract marriage.
Aunt Lily joined in.
"Are you all right, Harry?" asked Aunt Lily, looking worried.
Harry looked confused.
Christina was also worried about her cousin.
"I hope you don't get into trouble," cried Christina. Makes Harry and Cleo look at each other even more.
Cleo then looked at everyone in turn.
"Sorry. But, what do you mean exactly? " Cleo asked, making Harry look at everyone for answers.
Kiky looked lazy to join this family meeting. At this point, he should be studying in his room or playing online games for a moment. Kiky felt that his family was starting to overreact again.
Grandma immediately looked at Harry seriously.
"I heard that Aretta has returned to this city. Is it true?" asked Sofia, expressing what had been bothering her since earlier.
Knowing that Harry and Cleo had panicked when all of them suddenly gathered and had serious expressions. Sofia deliberately stalled a little. Tested how he reacted and whether maybe his grandmother could trick him a little.
Harry and Cleo were quite clever in covering up their expressions and their anxieties well. Harry and Cleo looked at Sofia with a little relief.
At least his family would talk about things that would tire him out. Harry and Cleo were relieved that they were not tense faces to discuss their fake marriage.
Harry did not want any of their family members to find out about the authenticity of their marriage. His contract with Cleo had to be canceled. So it was difficult to make Harry have the opportunity to extend his contract.
Harry looked at everyone with a tired look. He then asked his grandmother.
"How do you know that Grandma?" asked Harry.
"From someone, I can trust," Grandma exclaimed casually. She then added, "You don't need to know how I know it. Just tell me is it true? The woman who was the speaker on your latest project with the Yugio company is ... Aretta?"

"Yes. That's right," said Harry dryly.
Cleo didn't interfere. So was everyone. They seemed to only listen first, and only then will they give comments.
"Can't you get their side to replace her? Why did she come back here anyway? Didn't you forbid her to come back?" asked Sofia. Still not happy with the appearance of a fox-faced woman.
Harry did not provide any defense for Aretta.
"There was a slight error in the understanding of the migration side. And Aretta got a recommendation for admission from Robby," said Harry without covering anything.
Sofia responded irritably.
"That woman shouldn't just go back! How could Robby dare to tell that woman to come back to this town without talking to us about it? Has he forgotten the most important rule in his city?" asked Sofia, who wanted to emphasize how much authority and power she would have if she had started talking.
And look!
If Grandma was even furious, what about Harry himself? Wasn't it if Harry could destroy something, he would immediately destroy it?
"Grandma doesn't need to worry. That woman hasn't had much influence on me. And I have delegated all my duties towards our project to Cleo. Grandma doesn't need to think much about it!"
Harry's words making everyone look at him seriously.
Several people glanced at each other.
"What? You were leave all that work to Cleo? She did all the work?" asked Aunt and Christina simultaneously.
Uncle Daniawan was also interested. Sipping his drink calmly but also staring with a hint of interest.
And Sofia was even more surprised than anyone. Because she was rare to see Harry able to trust someone to tackle the task he had been focusing on from the first. Sofia looked at the two alternately sympathetically.
Seemed to see a slight change in Harry. Sofia was looking glad to hear that.
"I still haven't helped much, Auntie. I only help as much as I can. And I still need to learn a lot. I'm very grateful and thankful to Harry because he wanted to help even teach me seriously,"
Everyone now looked back at Harry and Cleo at the same time. They seemed surprised by Cleo's explanation. They were all hard to believe that Harry would go to such great lengths to teach someone.

Even though that man usually never liked anything troublesome.
Those who did not know about the fake relationship between Harry and Cleo can certainly understand that and did not feel strange about Harry's attitude.
Naturally, if Harry wanted to help his wife.
But Sofia, who already knew about the truth of their marital status, looked at the two of them with an amazing expression. So it was more than difficult to believe Cleo's words until she stared with doubt.
Grandma kept on pretending to be happy and supportive. Regardless of whether what Cleo said was true or not.
"I'm happy if that's the case. You are a husband and wife. So it is fitting for you to support each other. But if there is something difficult and you can't understand anything about it, you can ask me directly. I will answer as much as I can," Sofia's explanation made Cleo feel happy
Cleo then said yes. And Harry looked at his grandmother with an even gaze.
"So this is all Grandma wants to ask and tell us?" asked Harry, who understood clearly that they had nothing important to discuss earlier.
Harry even though he had already thought that there was something important that his grandmother wanted to say. But turn out grandma just wanted to talk about Aretta?
Sofia replied casually.
"Yes, of course. Is there anything else we need to talk about?" Sofia asked with a slightly raised eyebrow.
In her heart, Sofia was actually thinking about her grandson's marriage contract.
Harry didn't answer right away. Until Sofia continued again.
"Grandma is just worried about you. I'm afraid that you are still bothered by your feelings in the past. That woman definitely doesn't deserve a place in your heart even for your attention. Although it's just a piece of memory in your brain,"
Sofia seemed to be in a chant or a poem.
"I'm happy. If that woman has no influence on you now. But make sure that it is true until the ending," Sofia expressing feelings of relief.
Christina looked at her grandmother cluelessly.
"But I don't understand, Grandma! Why did that woman come back here? She couldn't possibly want to go back to Brother Harry, could she? Who did she think she was? After leaving Brother Harry, she dared to ask to come back?" Christina exclaimed in disbelief and added.
"If I were Harry, I would have deported that woman back to her city! If necessary, leave the country so that she can't come back here again to bother us! Ah, I mean disturbing Brother Harry of course!" said Christina too excited so that she made mistakes in pronunciation.
Cleo laughed amusedly, holding back the funny feeling that tickled her. She knew that Christina said that to get out her grievances and give support to her older cousin.
Harry didn't give any response. Between just agreeing and disagreeing with what Christina said. Cleo felt the need to say something in response.
"Ah, of course, that's true! Doesn't Harry already have me? Why does he still have to think about other women?" Cleo said deliberately to make everyone finally calmer.
Cleo, who was amused by her own words, scratched her neck, which didn't itch at all. Then felt worried whether Harry might hit her head because he was stunned by her words.
Harry was turn out just ignorant and didn't give any reaction.
And Sophia laughed at that.
Sofia seemed quite satisfied with what Cleo said. So that she could not say anything else. Sofia then told everyone to move to another room to gather in the dining room.
They finally managed to calm their thoughts about Aretta for the time being. Decided to just believe what Harry said for a while.
Harry suddenly asked Cleo something when they were alone.
"Do you need to do such a ridiculous thing?" asked Harry when they were on their way home. Cleo looked at him confused.
"Do what do you mean?" asked Cleo.
"Saying about me who already has you, so I don't have to think about other women. Your words also succeeded in making my whole family believe. Do you turn out to be someone who is very skilled at persuading someone?" asked Harry concluding.
