Facade Love: Marrying A Perfect Husband

"How can I compare your condition to anything else? Your comfort is the most important. And I can't be concerned with my personal affairs without taking good care of you."

Harry had almost forgotten their current position. They were already in front of the hospital. So they actually didn't have to bother going to check on Cleo's hand anymore. If what they need is already in the back of their head.

However, sometimes a tangled mind can cloud what was in front of the eyes.

Cleo's statement stopped Harry's furious steps.

"I'm fine. But what I'm currently worried about is your emotional state."

Harry narrowed his eyes.

"My emotional state? What's the matter?" he asked not understanding.

Cleo sighed.

"Don't you want to make your head to be cool for a moment?" Cleo asked as stared at Harry patiently. Harry then asked her back.

"With what, and how?" Harry asked with the look that kept on aiming at Cleo. He actually already understood what Cleo was talking about. But he acted as if he didn't understand.

Cleo thought hard.

"Maybe by putting a lump of ice on your head. I thought it might work effectively. And you should try it."

Harry gave a blank stare.

"Did you actually want to hit me on the head in exchange for your brilliant plan to kill me with that weird order!"

Cleo smiled faintly.

"Why? You don't want to try it? Who knows it might come in handy and can blow your mind!?"

Harry's gaze became gentle. Not angry when Cleo uttered a series of sentences half-mocking and half-worrying. Cleo recognized the relaxed face again.

"How about current? You've felt better now?"

Cleo scanned every corner of Harry's face and expression. Believing that facial expression has become much better and calmer.

Harry took Cleo's hand back and kissed it.

"I've been much better. But I will still teach my uncle a lot of valuable lessons. So he can have a clear mind like me."

Harry then smirked.

"So, is it possible that I should send a large truckload of ice cubes to his current residence?"

Cleo froze. Her mouth gaped. Then protested.

"I teased you earlier not to teach you bad things!"

Harry grabbed Cleo's hand and pinned it against his body.

"We're going to my base now. Do not reject or entice me with various temptations that I still cannot resist."

Harry's current thoughts were simple.

If he wants Cleo to be safe from any danger that threatens. So he must always take Cleo wherever he goes.

Cleo gave up while giving valuable and wise advice.

"Do anything with a cold head. And don't forget that he's still your uncle. So there's always a limit to what you can do toward him."

Harry agreed to the request. Opened the door car for Cleo. So she could sit quietly before Harry threw a ridiculous statement.

"That is an easy task. But I expect a reward."

Cleo frowned.

"You still ask for something in return when what I did was for your goodness?"

Harry was indifferent. Sitting beside Cleo and leaning back while hunting the most comfortable position for him to relieve tension.

"Let's do more exciting things like last night!"

Cleo's pupils seemed to get bigger.

"What?"

Her face was like a boiled crab. But Harry was still able to speak so casually. Even though Cleo's face had turned stiff. Her heart seemed to have fallen and was released from its original position.

"Just now you stated that you wanted me to refresh my mind and lower my anxiety. So according to a study I've read before, that's the only most effective way for a husband and wife to release fatigue."

Cleo snorted.

She no longer recognizes who was in front of her eyes. And she's also been showing blank stares several times.

"Do you want to feel my heels reach your forehead? Why are you being so unpredictable? Then what kind of study did you learn? You have followed heresy at a young age and have been misrepresenting that problematic guidance during that time going on?"

Harry could hear his personal chauffeur snorting with laughter. Securing his lips and trying to not make any subtle sound even though it's hard.

At that moment, Cleo realized that they were not only two. There were others who heard Harry's conversations so transparently. Cleo touched her hot cheeks after she looked at the back of the driver's and Harry's heads alternately.

"You embarrassed me! And you make Mr. Grey definitely think negative!"

Grey then stiffened. He straightened his sitting position in the driver's seat. And didn't dare to look at the back. Harry frowned as he looked at Cleo.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said. So can you correct me what went wrong when I was just trying to fulfill grandma's critical request?"

Cleo squealed.

"Harry! Stop talking nonsense. Then, what's with the contents of your brain?"

Wasn't Harry's mind busy being stirred up by his second uncle's domineering attack? But why do his naughty thoughts still dwell in this complex situation?

Cleo stared at Harry for a long after she reached their destination.

Everyone on Harry's team had gathered. They look like a prominent alliance that was quick to respond when trouble just approaches their team. Five men within tall stature without being overweight gathered in front of them.

Stared seriously at Harry and waited for the man to speak first. Cleo apparently preceded their waiting as she turned and whispered softly to Harry.

"You are going to delegate a war between two kingdoms or countries? Why is the atmosphere around here so suffocating and feels different?"

Reihan came forward to ask in more detail.

"What's really happening? How can your family matters come out of your uncle's mouth and make the huge news?"

Steven quipped subtly.

"Perhaps, Harry's Uncle wants to settle down like a scandalous artist so he can skyrocket?!"

Harry glanced at Steven sharply.

Steven corrected.

"Ehm, it might also be because he is bored with his daily life and trying something new."

Harry ignored him. He still kept his composure as Cleo requested. Invited Cleo to sit together on the nearest sofa and lean there while folding his arms in front of his chest.

He then divulged one by them all to his present team.

"I never expected that all these inconveniences would be brought to the surface. Nor did I ever expect that this time I was the one who had caused it."

Cleo patted Harry's shoulder to give him the steadfastness.

"Then. It might take a long time if I tell you the whole process. My uncle's argument was right that my father had made his daughter disappear for a long time. But all of that happened because of my mischievousness in childhood."

"Just found out about it recently. And there's not much I can do about it other than trying to do my best to fix it."

Luan looked nervous.

"Because of this, you asked me to find Jenny? It was your uncle's daughter who disappeared and I had already guessed that serious trouble was going on at the same time as your request"

Harry turned to Luan.
