Couldn’t Mrs Sofia help her tell what happened to her grandson?

  While humming a little, Cleo greeted the pickup car with a little smile.  She wanted to see how the man would react later, after knowing what happened.

  Could it be that the man would admit for being wrong and apologize?  To be honest, Cleo doubted that a little.

  But once she got in the car and met the eyes of a husband who was not her husband.  Never mind just saying hello or maybe making small talk, Harry didn’t even stare at her even once.

He was just busy closing his eyes to sleep on the edge of the seat.  And gave the driver a short signal to escort them, when there was a sound of the car door beside Cleo closing.

  Seeing that, Cleo could only grumble inwardly.

  ‘What ??  What’s wrong with him?  Is he still angry about the credit card incident?’

  Feeling the cold aura emitted by Harry, she knew their situation was not good.  But wasn’t this too childish?  If he was cold like this, how can Cleo start her explanation ??

  While looking away to the other side, Cleo just enjoyed their quiet journey calmly.  Until they arrived at Sofia’s residence and greeted her happily, Sofia had welcomed them enthusiastically.

  “It’s nice to see you guys back,” Sofia said happily when she saw the guest she had been looking forward to so bad coming and looked at her grandson and granddaughter-in-law kindly.

  Cleo responded to Sofia with a smile.  And Harry, as usual, just kept quiet.

  When Sofia’s gaze fell back on Cleo, she began to smile happily and said.

  “I have asked the cooks to prepare all the food that you will definitely like.  Therefore, come on! We gather in the dining room,” Sofia said excitedly.

  They walked towards the family dining room.  And Cleo was busy observing the room around which they passed one by one in silence.

  Mrs Sofia’s house was huge.  Like the outward appearance, the inward appearance also amazed Cleo.  But she still tried not to show it.

They finally came to a room that already contained a large long table and several chairs.  Also, there were so many different kinds of food that were very diverse and looked really good to eat.

  Cleo unconsciously swallowed her saliva for a moment.  Controlling the taste of the curiosity that was so great because she was eager to taste all the food.  And ignoring any attraction to all of the appetizing food.

  “Father and mother have not come down?” a voice from behind asked that immediately made everyone turned their heads.

  A young, beautiful and young girl greeted all of her guests in a relaxed yet friendly manner.  Having previously looked at everyone in turn.  The girl greeted the other members of her family who had just arrived.

  “Hi Harry, Cleo,” she said politely.

  Cleo replied with a nod and smiled.  Meanwhile Harry took a quick glance at the familiar girl.

  She was Christina.  The only granddaughter of the Theodore family on the side of Harry’s uncle who was the second child of Mrs. Sofia.  And so to speak, he was Harry’s cousin.  A young and beautiful girl who was currently still in college for the first semester.

  Seeing that her granddaughter got off by herself, Sofia immediately asked Christina to call her parents.

“Call your father and mother down.  Also call the Youngest,” the grandmother asked.

  Christina nodded.  But when she turned around and wanted to call his parents, both of them turned out to have come together with Kiky, his brother, into the dining room.

  Without further ado, Christina’s father immediately answered.

  “We’re here, Mom.”  Daniawan said.  Christina’s father and Harry’s uncle.

  “How are you?” the youngest, Kiky, said from behind his mother.  Greet Harry and Cleo at the same time with a cheerful smile.

  Harry joined in greeting his uncle and aunt.

  “Uncle aunt,” Harry said.

@w.e.b.n.o.v.e.l

  Daniawan, responded with a small nod.  And his wife Lilyana responded with a kinder smile.

  Seeing that everyone greeted each other and greeted each other, Cleo greeted them politely.

  “Good evening, Mr Dani and Mrs Lily!” Cleo said which immediately made Mrs. Lilyana stare at her.

“Geez, Cleo.  Don’t call us like everyone else.  You can call us uncle and aunt.  Just as Harry called us.  Aren’t we a family now?” Lilyana said, reminded.  Sofia nodded in agreement.

  Cleo smiled awkwardly.  She immediately lost her words.

  “Uncle Auntie,” she corrected.

  Lilyana and Sofia laughed at that.

  “Okay!  Since everyone’s gathered, how about we just eat? ”  Sofia asked.  Invited everyone to sit and eat together with her.

  Everyone followed.

  “I hope you will like the food,” Sofia looked at Cleo, who was just sitting down.

  “Of course I’ll like it, Grandma!  This is more than delicious!  The smell alone is very appetizing.  I’m sure the taste is far .. far more than delicious!! ”  Cleo said deliberately exaggerating.

  Christina replied immediately.

  “Cleo, is there food that you don’t like ?!”  Christina teased half jokingly.

  Everyone laughed with amusement.  Except for Harry, who of course just stayed put.  And didn’t give any reaction.

While Cleo saw Christina teasing her with jokes, Cleo replied to her joke with a joke too.

  “Of course not!  During this time, I have never been picky about food.  All food I think is delicious!  Is not it?” Cleo replied complacently, chuckling.

  She didn’t notice that Harry’s expression felt different.  Because somehow Harry felt that Cleo’s words sounded exactly the same as what he had said to his grandmother about his wife’s appetite.

  Even though he answered randomly.  But the answer was very compact.  As if Harry had indeed known and understood that from the start.  And seeing Cleo’s answer made Grandma complacent, Harry returned to his usual expression.

  “It’s good if you’re not picky about food.  I think Christina needs to learn a lot from you.  There was so much food she didn’t like, ” Sofia replied, glancing at Christina.

Christina immediately chuckled.
