Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

Chapter 157 - 157 ( 'Forbidden HALRS' )



Harry might have done the same, unintentionally offended someone else. But, could it be? Alfin himself felt unsure.

Everyone again found the deadlock to find the causes and triggers. They again made another guess by transferring the suspect to someone else at random.

Until Dirga started to get sleepy listening to the four friends who were chattering long and wide like a scholar. Grateful that one more man didn't fuss with them this time. Otherwise, the guy would have messed up a lot of everyone's argument even more.

Steven looked annoyed when he was not included in the spectacle that interested him. It was great to see all the people he knew went around, thought about all the problems, solutions, and triggers.

Steven remained dissatisfied with the news that Cleo survived the incident. The accident was definitely not playful and it might have taken her head off. Until Steven had time to ask who superhero had helped Cleo when he contacted Harry.

Steven was angry at Harry because he couldn't take good care of his wife and instead let someone else sacrificed himself and became a hero.

"You should be the one lying in the hospital right now and not that guy that I don't know," Steven squeaked so knowingly and annoyed that he would seem happier when Harry was lying injured.

Harry listened sarcastically. Told him to stop talking nonsense, if he didn't want Harry to hang up.

Steven then asked another question.

"So you guys got together without me?" Steven asked, seemed disappointed.

Steven knew the whereabouts of the four friends from Alfin's status who wrote the word 'Forbidden HALRS' on his contract status. Called Harry first when he read the secret message.

Steven had never had any part in Harry's secret team, which often did tough jobs like spying on someone or tracking down to tackle something dangerous.

Steven always acted as a safe side in providing connections or extensive social networks when needed to obtain a series of information that the four friends cannot get from the data they collected.

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

Steven usually acted as a loyal observer, monitor, and even, listener.

Knew that Alfin's status code meant a red flag for their secret unit team. It was proof that they were having an emergency meeting that only their group including Steven could see.

Until Steven planned to entertain his inspirational woman in this city. Steven asked Harry's permission to visit Cleo at home.

But Harry firmly forbade him.

"She doesn't need a visit from you," said Harry quickly when Steven volunteered himself.

A welcoming party was waiting for him at home. He felt that he heard a crisp and distinctive laugh that he knew. Harry immediately walked towards the living room which was filled with 3 people in it.

Seeing Aunt Ane, Cleo and Julia gathered there with a festive ritual feast. Harry looked surprised as he turned to look at Cleo.

"Are you home?" asked Cleo as soon as she got up and greeted Harry.

Harry immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Didn't I tell you to rest?" Harry asked seriously. Cleo was silent for a moment.

Pointed around.

"Couldn't this be my way of resting?" Cleo asked quibbling, "It's late enough for me to rest earlier if you want to protest me."

Harry immediately turned his face to the other way.

Alfin, Reihan, and Steven suddenly appeared from behind Harry. Made Cleo quite surprised by their sudden appearance.

Cleo then looked at the three at the same time.

"You guys came here together?" asked Cleo in surprise, "Since when have you guys been together?"

Just found out that the three of them were quite familiar.

Steven greeted Cleo first in a friendly manner.

"Hi, lady. Are you in good condition?" Steven asked about Cleo's condition after the incident that happened this afternoon.

Cleo didn't seem confused by the question. Could have guessed that Steven learned of her condition from Harry. Cleo had already nodded to give the answer.

"As you can see I'm fine," Cleo said quickly, "Sorry for making you worry. But, could it be that you guys came to see me?"

Cleo just guessed and raised her head.

Steven immediately laughed.

"Of course! Because you rocked one world. I'm worried about you too," said Alfin deliberately chimed in exaggeratingly.

Reihan also voiced his concern with a serious expression.

"You are okay?" Reihan asked after checking Cleo's condition directly.

Cleo reflexively nodded and was surprised.

"Did I make you panic too?" asked Cleo, didn't believe that she could make herself throw off a lot of people not only Harry's family who were worried too. But also his cousin and even friends.

Cleo felt so bad.

Steven, Alfin, and Reihan then looked at Julia in unison.

Didn't seem to recognize the woman's face.

Julia greeted with a faint smile to return all those unfamiliar gazes.

Cleo quickly introduced Julia.

"Her name is Julia. She will be Harry's newest mall Ambassador. You've actually met her too, Mr. Steven."

Spoken suddenly. Steven spontaneously frowned.

"Me? Have met her? When?"

He didn't remember and was not sure if he had seen her. Steven stared at Julia for a moment before looking back at Cleo and Harry.

"I don't think I remember her. Can you tell me exactly when I met her?" Steven didn't remember anything.

Cleo immediately answered the question casually.

"Julia is the waiter that your friend almost harassed at your birthday party that day. And almost made your party rowdy. Luckily, your sister, Steylla, was quick to act. Don't you remember?" Cleo asked with a series of cheers that she curtailed.

Reihan and Alfin seemed interested after hearing Steylla's name.

"What incident?" asked Alfin who was not present at Steven's party because he had other business. Reihan also seemed interested.

And honestly, there were still a million feelings of anger that were ignited because of the disgraceful act of almost his half-drunk male friend. Cleo then asked Steven back.

"Are you still friends with him?" Cleo asked with a billion desires to hear the word 'no'.

Steven rolled his eyes when he remembered something.

"I'm certainly not friends with him anymore," he said casually.

Then stared in disbelief, "So is she the waiter at that time?"

Cleo gave a nod in response. And Julia also gave her greetings to thank him again for his sister.

Steven had already shown a look of astonishment. Was felt confused about how the two women met.

Steven then looked at Cleo in surprise.

"How do you two know each other?" asked Steven to find out.

Harry looked curious.

Harry didn't really know how they got to know each other. He only knew some simple information about Julia, who was having a hard time living in her house and had to move, until stayed at his house for the time being.

Cleo glanced slightly at Julia to see her reaction. Julia didn't seem to mind if Cleo said something.

Cleo only answered according to her limits.

"We bumped into each other on the street and got acquainted. Isn't that right, Julia?" said Cleo which was true, and deliberately didn't want to exaggerate the problem about Julia's boyfriend who was a psychopath and liked to beat her up.

Harry must have had a bit of an idea of Julia's problem from the scar on her face a few days ago when they bumped into each other. But who exactly was the one who injured her, Harry certainly didn't know.

Steven looked like he just said 'Ohhh.'.

Alfin seemed still interested in Cleo's story about Steylla's actions. He then asked immediately.

"What did Steylla do?" he asked curiously. Reihan seemed to be listening. Cleo turned to him.

"Just breaking Mr. Steven's friend's argument back then. And of course, defending Julia," Alfin and Reihan seemed to understand quickly.

Until Reihan then looked around.

"Were you having a party?" asked Reihan who had found a lot of dishes arranged on the table.

Alfin and Steven also looked at the direction Reihan was pointing through his gaze.

"Is there a birthday or a special celebration?" asked Steven quickly.

Cleo immediately shook her head.

"We're just celebrating Julia's success as an ambassador. And congratulating her new place to live later. You can join if you need to," said Cleo, invited everyone to join in on the meal.

Steven and Alfin quickly took their place. Asked Harry and Reihan to come to sit with them.

Alfin suddenly asked something, "Isn't it if you are just about to move to a new house, should the welcoming party be held at your house?"

Julia immediately smiled reluctantly.

The fact that this party was actually being held was not for a welcome to her new home, but rather for her farewell party to move out of Harry's house. Cleo immediately threw her satire at Alfin.

"Eat this. It's also quite tasty. This shrimp is specially cooked by Julia to provide her service. You don't need to know much because this is girls' business. Do you want to change your gender?"

Cleo poured some food into Alfin's plate. Harry was already glancing at her displeasedly. Thought that he had never received a helping hand from Cleo who poured a side dish for him.

Alfin seemed to be able to feel Harry's meaningful glance. But pretended not to notice and feel it.

Everyone then went back to enjoying their meal together. Cleo suddenly asked about something when she saw that everyone had almost finished all of their food. Glanced at Harry curiously.

"Is the problem with the construction site done?"
