Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband - Chapter 277
Cleo was still in her waiting time for Sofia to come out of the doctor’s room after she has come back from the hospital cafeteria. Feeling much better, nausea in her stomach had also disappeared. Sofia only conveyed the important things she wanted to say.
“Anything is fine. You are just exhausted and forbidden to think about things that make you uncomfortable. You are also advised to reduce activities outside your home.”
Cleo frowned.
“Is it much that serious when I just feel nauseous for no reason?” asked Cleo in not understanding, “My body is better, now. I’m just having a lot on my mind. And, I know better than anyone else that I’m absolutely fine.”
Sofia gave her a pitying look.
She was well aware of how all of these possibilities could have happened. Sofia didn’t prolong their argument.
“These are vitamins and medicine to make you feel better. Consume this, every day. And make sure you take this medicine after having eaten.”
Cleo took the prescription for the medicine that Erikka had asked someone to pay for. Cleo did not suspect the efficacy of the drug. However, she believed the medicine Sofia gave her was a vitamin for stamina.
“Okay. But, until when should I drink this?”
“A few months ahead. Until you feel healthier and don’t need it. But I still hope you take it regularly every day until I let you take it off.”
Dirga helped Sofia convince Cleo.
“You had better take save these words in your mind, Young Ma’am. Mrs. Sofia just came out after talking to the doctor. So, I firmly believe that this choice is the best.”
Cleo nodded in understanding.
“But, grandma hasn’t told me exactly when Harry will be finished with all the duties you gave him!”
Sofia and Dirga looked at each other.
“As soon as possible. So if he’s already on his way coming back. I’ll tell you that soon day.”
Sofia invited everyone to come back. She felt calmer though not completely relieved.
The three of them went home separately. After Sofia asked Dirga to take Cleo back home. Sofia got in her car and asked the driver to go somewhere else. The look in Sofia’s eyes was completely different when she had made a bold and crazy decision.
“We’re going to town B. Take me to Villa Windhouse. I want to meet someone!”
Sofia’s chauffeur nodded quickly. He ran the car towards the destination. And wondered what else Sofia was going to do there.
They turned out to take two hours to get there. After crossing the busy streets during the daylight and drowsiness already hit Sofia while on their way.
Derian, Sofia’s driver, couldn’t help but wake Sofia up when they arrived. Derian called Sofia’s name several times.
“Madam… madam…”
“We have arrived. Then, what else do you want to do here?”
Derian looked worried. This was not the first time he had been invited to go to the Windhouse villa in town B.
Those black eyes that were originally closed, opened and looked around. Sofia felt her energy build up a bit after resting on the journey. Although her back was feel bad after sleeping only in a sitting position or half lying down.

Arthur, Luan, and Reihan questioned Harry’s whereabouts. They were worried about Harry who not leaving any news. They were also curious about what had happened to Harry, Julia, and Muliawan.
They had heard issue that Harry was taking Julia flying to Bern to meet Muliawan. But after that, they still haven’t received any further news.
The three of them then discussed this matter when they gathered together.
“I’m aware that Harry rarely gives the news. But didn’t you guys feel bored and miss his bossy attitude?”
Arthur shot Luan using a disgusted look.
“Stop talking the uselessness that makes me shudder. Then, I just feel at peace when he’s not around.”
Reihan looked at the two with a serious and curious look.
“When was the last time, we heard from him? And has anyone been able to contact him?”
Luan put his hands behind his head as she leaned back in a chair. He was just playing the game out of boredom.
“About 2 weeks since he told me, he was going to Bern to see his uncle with Julia. After that, he still hasn’t given any news.”
Reihan lowered his phone. He had just arrived at their private basecamp. After a short chat with Steylla on mobile. The two of them were now closer. And they were not at odds with each other.
Reihan had also admitted his mistakes in the past. He didn’t want their good relationship to drift apart. He promised to treat Steylla well. Although Steylla had made it clear that she would not expect anything more than friendship.
Arthur started to follow Luan’s way of thinking.
“He’s not usually very calm and doesn’t give out any information, did his business work there or not!? He also usually checks on our work when he wants to make sure that everything is alright.”
Luan snapped her fingers.
“What did I say?! Even if it’s very quiet. He doesn’t usually give us leeway when it comes to working. As much as possible he will assign us various complicated jobs as he pleases.”
Reihan nodded in agreement at Luan’s words.
“Then, should I try contacting him now?”
Luan shook her head.
“It would be vain. I’ve been calling him since this morning. But, that cold man didn’t have to activate his phone. All my calls go out of the network.”
Arthur and Reihan looked at each other.
“He turned off his mobile for almost a day?”
This was a rare thing. The three of them failed to solve the mystery.
Arthur put on an overly serious face.
“I had some bad news about Harry. So, is it because of this that he disappeared without a word?”
Luan and Reihan knit their brows together.
“Has that guy ever ignored us when he was in trouble? On the other hand, we will always be the first to know what misfortune he is going through. And we are the first people he will turn to for help!”
Reihan agreed with Luan’s words.
“What news do you mean? And why are you just saying it now?”
Arthur rubbed his chin and thought hard.
“I don’t really remember it either. But, a few days ago. I overheard some confusing and quite stupid gossip.”
Luan and Reihan listened intently. Neither of them wanted to lose any interesting information from Arthur.
“The news that Harry ran off with a girl. And he left his wife for that woman.”
Luan’s laughter immediately boomed. He felt his stomach be churning. His expression turned flat again in no time.
“Are you kidding? What kind of unbelievable joke is that? You expect us to believe it?”
Arthur didn’t relax his serious expression at all.
“That’s why I ignored those baseless rumors!”
Reihan found an obstacle.
“I don’t think the rumors came without a reason. And someone must want to bring Harry down. That’s why we need to find out the truth. And trying to reach Harry soon.”
Luan swiveled her chair.
“Okay. So, just call his secretary! And find out what really happened. Because that guy is always by his boss’s side!”
Arthur and Reihan agreed to the proposal. Reihan dialed Dirga’s number without hesitation.
This phone shook Dirga’s mind. He had just received a shocking message from Sofia shortly after they were discharged from the hospital. Busy driving and planning to take Cleo back home.
Sofia actually reported that Cleo was pregnant. Dirga was asked to drive carefully and keep all the information Sofia share with Cleo in a secret. Dirga’s head was spinning even more after he got a call from Reihan.
Dirga could predict what Reihan wants. But he refused to answer the call.
Dirga even ignored Cleo’s confusion.
“You didn’t pick up your phone?”
Dirga tried to look serious and calm.
“I still have to focus on driving. Then I’ll answer the call later when I’m out of the car and drive you home.”
Cleo didn’t ask anything else. She just focused closing her eyes. And rest for a while until they was arrived at home. Cleo stared blankly at Dirga’s departure. Aunt Ane had greeted her at the door.
She wrote on a piece of paper the contents of her question.
[ ‘Young Madam, you have back home. And do you want me to make something for you?’ ]
Cleo shook her head.
“No need, Auntie. I want to rest as soon as I freshen up.”
Cleo also refused Ane prepare warm water. She wanted to take a cold shower because it was very hot outside.
