And who would have thought, Harry sounded a little confused by the information she just mentioned without Sofia being able to further guess what was on his mind.
Could it be that they hadn’t told each other or asked this beforehand? Or did Harry really not care about the money he gave Cleo?
“You’re not angry with your wife because she used your money without your knowledge, right?” Sofia asked, looking for information.
“Grandma who forced her at that time. If it weren’t for Grandma forgetting to bring money, Grandma wouldn’t have probably told her to pay. Grandma hope you don’t blame her,” Sofia continued guiltily.
Harry massaged his forehead lightly.
“Yes, Grandma. I know. I certainly couldn’t possibly do that,” Harry replied without saying whatever was actually going on
Sofia smiled with satisfaction.
“Good then. So tonight you will come to Grandma’s house for dinner?” Sofia asked again. Asking what was the purpose of the two calls.
“I can’t do it tonight, Grandma. Currently I am still in Semarang. And since I still have some work to take care of, maybe I’ll be home a little late today. Maybe tomorrow night I’ll just go to Grandma’s place,” Harry said modestly.
Sofia didn’t bother.
“Ooo .. okay. Then Grandma will tell the housekeeper to prepare everything tomorrow night. Grandma will tell them to make some of your favorite food,” Sofia said, ” Oh yeah, what is my granddaughter-in-law’s favorite food?” Sofia asked.
Harry’s brows creased at once. Her favorite food? How did he know.
“She… likes to eat anything. She’s not picky about food. So Grandma can make whatever Grandma thinks is good and delicious for her,” Harry replied quickly before he was suspected.
“Okay. In that case, remember to write this down on your schedule. Grandma will be waiting for you at home tomorrow night at seven. Okay?” Sofia continued.
Harry immediately agreed, “Fine, Grandma.”
The two then ended their phone call. And Harry went back to rethinking all the chronology that might have happened that his grandmother had been involved.
Grandma must have deliberately not brought money and pretended to borrow Cleo’s money to pay for a pile of things she bought. Then because it was impossible to refuse and had to say yes, many transactions were informed by Dirga according to the wishes of his grandmother.
Then, either because of a bad suggestion and the existence of evidence of Cleo’s quite a lot of groceries in his house, Harry finally assumed that the woman was using the money carelessly.
Even though the reality may not be like that.
Then, although this did not prove that the woman was not 100 percent using his money. But still, after seeing Grandma’s involvement in this matter, Harry could already predict that this must be Grandma’s trick.
Grandma liked to do things that were unpredictable and unreasonable.
Therefore, while checking some documents that he would use to have discussions with his colleagues, Harry put aside the issue of his contract wife, his lawsuit, and also his grandmother.
He better think about this later when he got back to his hometown.
Until the time he finished with all his business in the city of Semarang and returned to Jakarta, Harry still hadn’t thought about the problem again because he was too busy with his job until he finally forgot about it.
Until some additional surprises were found again.
“I think because you just got married, you will forget about this place and get busy with your new household matters. Who would have thought that it was only a week from the wedding, you have been traveling everywhere and finally landed here. How? Was your marriage fun?” Reihan immediately threw some sarcasm at Harry, when he saw Harry walking into his cafe in the middle of the night right after he had just gotten off the plane.
Because he didn’t want to go home quickly and wanted to relax himself, Harry decided to play for a while at Reihan’s place.
But who would have thought that instead of getting the words of motivation or consolation he wanted, Harry would get the innuendo that targeted him.
While staring lazily at Reihan, Harry answered Reihan nonchalantly.
“Don’t you know how this marriage happened?! Don’t make jokes in front of me. I’m not in the mood to joke with you about that woman,” Harry said coldly, while sipping his drink which always served quickly every time he came to visit.
Reihan looked at Harry in confusion.
“What is wrong with you? Is there any problem?” Reihan asked, sensing something was different.
It had only been a few minutes before Harry had messaged him that he was going to stop by his place, after he had gotten off the plane. So what kind of atmosphere was coming?
Did Harry just experience jet lag?
But, didn’t the flight from Semarang to Jakarta only take one hour? Rather than being called jetlagged, his friend was more like he was really upset about something.
