Chapter 229 - 229 ( Why )
"However, you are correct in stating that I have not complimented your beauty today!"
Harry began to ponder.
"Then, what kind of assessment should I give." Harry really looked really deep in thought.
So Cleo was forced to push him away.
"Don't make me shiver even more because of your dishonest seduction."
Harry raised two eyebrows. Seemed disapproving and conveyed everything he believed in.
"I don't need the word beautiful to make a woman as my wife. And I don't need any of the most beautiful women willing to sleep beside me. However, I am willing to devote my entire life to you."
A fortunate kiss and a thank you, Cleo put on thin lips that somehow became good at seducing.
Even if Cleo thought back on how annoying and stubborn her contract husband was. Cleo wanted to smack him on the head and his annoying lips.
But who would have thought? Those lips and eyes. In addition to having a deadly poison venom. But also has the rarest honey that was not just anyone can get it.
Harry suddenly remembered something.
"You're right. We have to go back. And I have to meet someone."
Cleo frowned.
"Who do you want to see at this time of night? And why does it seem so serious?"
"I'll tell you later. But now, I'm going to ask someone to take you home. And don't think about anything else but only rest."
Harry's bodyguards were already assembled when they were summoned. Cleo wasn't surprised anymore by the presence of ten bodyguards who defeated an ambassador's bodyguard.
"I'll be home late. And don't wait for me."
Cleo didn't stop showing a worried face. Because Harry's expression was so serious right now. So, even though Cleo wanted to ask further. Cleo was forced to undo it. Then let the guards, demanded that she leave.
But before they were leaving. Harry gave a strict threat.
"Take care of her and don't let her out of your sight! If just one time you get negligent and miss anything important point. I'm not just only going to punish you guys straight away. But it will also finish you to ashes!"
Cleo was taken aback. It wasn't just Harry's men. But, she was also very surprised to hear Harry's seriousness in giving the mandate.
However, Cleo finally ignored the chaotic thoughts far away.
Harry watched Cleo leave with his bodyguards with an even expression. Sitting in his car while thinking alone. His heart wouldn't be satisfied until he found out clearly what his second uncle wanted.
So that, it only took about ten minutes at a speed of 80km/. Harry managed to get to the hospital where his grandmother was being treated. And didn't waste the opportunity there was, by chatting too much to his third uncle and his aunt.
After seeing the shock appear on their faces. When they were still looking after grandma in the hospital until this late. Daniawan came forward to welcome Harry's arrival.
"Harry? What do you doing by coming here this late? You're still worried about grandma's condition and want to check on her?"
Harry watched Daniawan's astonished expression. Checking the conditions around them as Harry found his uncle and aunt just waiting outside in the waiting room. Then maybe deliberately went out to provide comfort to his grandmother to rest.
"Is Grandma asleep?" Harry asked still with great intent to meet Sofia.
Daniawan shook his head.
"We just left her. But maybe your grandmother still hasn't rested. And the last time we left, he was watching tv. But she's almost so sleepy. Even though she still put off going to sleep."
Harry nodded in understanding.
"Well. I will meet her in person."
Daniawan still asked with a look of not understanding.
"Is there something serious you want to talk to her about?"
Harry just smiled faintly.
"Yes. But I don't want to let anyone get involved."
Lily touched her husband's arm.
"What is it, my husband? Why is Harry's face so serious and I have a not good feeling after seeing it?"
Daniawan and Lily looked at Harry's departure worriedly. But that didn't stop Harry from entering. Or asked more about what Harry wants from his grandmother.
Daniar turns out to be inside to accompany Sofia. Then, that also means that Daniawan and Lily probably originally intended to go home and rest. After they had let Daniar keep an eye on Sofia.
"You go out first. And let us talk."
Daniar obediently lowered his head. Walkout, afterward. And left her madam alone with her first young master.
Sofia had noticed something was different about her grandson. Constantly assessing and figuring out what Harry had come to see her this evening for.
"Did you just take a walk outside and have fun?"
Dressing so casually. By just a plain blue-gray long sleeve rolled-up shirt. Unbuttoned clothing buttons are perfect. Then some parts of his shirt are tucked into his dark jeans. Comes with lace loafers while still showing the heels on purpose due to his hanging pants.
Sofia could guess that Harry must have just come from a date. However, was he really doing it together with Cleo?
The wrinkled eyes continued to suspect it.
Until, the shadow of her first son, Gunawan. The image came when she saw how relaxed and casual Harry looked, which Sofia rarely saw. Because her stiff grandson was more often wearing formal clothes instead of casual and comfortable clothes for him, other than at home.
So it is not surprising that many praised his charming looks.
Even though Sofia was sure, Harry didn't come here because he missed her. But for it was sure to other purposes.
"Anything you're curious about? Or is there something you want to tell me about your pleasant experience today?"
Harry took a few steps forward. Still acting relaxed despite the tense face he still showed without caring whether this expression would scare anyone who saw it or not. Harry still has laid one hand in his trouser pocket.
When one by one of the memories in his past kept popping up. Harry could finally remember bits and pieces of how his second uncle had been so close to him. But somehow he didn't know, Uncle Muliawan suddenly turned cold to him.
It could be said that he seemed very jealous and did not want his nephew's presence.
The voice that came out of Harry's mouth was a little hoarse.
"What's the reason my second uncle doesn't like me?"
Sofia's eyes grew bigger and she couldn't hide her surprise when she didn't expect that Harry would be asking a question out of her context mind from the start.
Sofia's brows furrowed.
"What do you mean, Har? And why do you asked that?"
"You just need to answer my question. And there's no need to ask back."
Their gazes didn't move. The two of them continued to stare at each other seriously and tried to read each other's thoughts.
Harry added.
"I know the second uncle hates Dad. But I don't know what for the reason. So, let's began with that problem first. Because I believe that is where it came from."
Sofia showed a tense expression.
She wasn't confident enough to give a straightforward answer yet. However, her brain continued to work hard. And finally, that things stopped at some point because she realized that Harry was serious about his question.
Asking was not just looking for a topic of conversation. Or maybe suddenly remembered the figure of his second uncle. But it must be because there are other important things that urgently need to know what happened in the past.
Although curious and confused about the reason behind the question, Sofia still answered Harry's question honestly. Neither trying to cover up Harry's father's faults nor defending Muliawan in front of Harry.
"They just misunderstood. And the one side keeps blaming the other for the disappearance of his only daughter."
Harry subconsciously held his breath.
"What does that mean, Grandma?" Harry asked cluelessly. And want more explanation.
Sofia straightened her body. Elevating the pillow that supports his back to keep her feeling to be comfortable and relaxed.
"Jenny. Do you still remember her?" Sofia asked with a look that seemed to suggest that Harry might forget that name at a glance. But it was not completely could forget the name of the child just like that.
