Chapter 026 ( Almost )

"Ow, Grandma really didn't expect this day to come so quickly. You're going to marry Harry. And in a moment, you will be part of our family. Not only will you be the legal wife Harry loves, but you will also be my dearest grandson. I really feel very fortunate that I was still given the opportunity to see such a joyful moment! I am very grateful!!" Sofia exclaimed, which immediately made Cleo feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

This marriage was clearly just a pretense. But, how could she say all that to grandma?!

Because of her selfishness, she was forced to lie and play with the feelings of someone who was so sincere to her. Wouldn't her sin get bigger and bigger?

In the midst of her struggle, Cleo was suddenly surprised by Harry's sudden and unwitting arrival. The man came with Dirga to meet his grandmother. Without noticing the presence of his future bride who was standing beautifully beside him, Harry introduced the person he had brought to Sofia.

"Come on, Grandma! I'm going to introduce grandmother to someone," Harry exclaimed, just as he was in his grandmother's presence.

Sofia looked at him with interest.

"You want to introduce me to someone? Who is that?" She asked with interest.

"She's Cleo's parent," Harry answered Sofia's question in his usual flat and expressionless tone. But that guy's words made not only Sofia stare at him but also Cleo!!

OMG? Parents??! Which parents was he talking about? Her parents were now in heaven?

Cleo's face turned pale. Especially when Harry asked Dirga to invite people she didn't know to come in and meet them. Cleo's whole body was instantly shocked by the high voltage electric power.

Sofia, who didn't understand the situation, looked at Harry and Cleo in confusion.

"So they are your parents?" Sofia asked Cleo when she saw a pair of middle-aged men and women enter after being led by Dirga. Harry, who sensed something was amiss, frowned at the grandmother's somewhat unusual question.

"Aren't your parents both dead?" Sofia asked again.

And that question, success made Harry finally understand what mistake he had made. Maybe more precisely, the mistake that had been made by his secretary, Dirgantara.

He has asked Dirga to take care of everything. But was this the result?!

Observed by Harry with an unhappy look, Dirga immediately bowed his head. No one among them thought that Cleo had actually told Mrs. Sofia everything about her, who was an orphan.

If they did, they wouldn't bother hiring a pair of fake parents for her. With their unnecessary appearance like this, they just looked like a broken frame that had been misplaced.

Seeing the tense situation, Cleo immediately racked her brain.

"They are not my biological parents," Cleo said, which immediately made Harry and Dirga look at her with raised eyebrows.

Cleo then continued.

"They are my adoptive parents," Cleo explained, "Harry deliberately invited them to be my guardians at this wedding. He definitely wants to give the most perfect marriage for me. That's why he invited ... "

Cleo made a pause.

And as if he understood the point, Harry immediately continued, "They are Mr. Agus and Mrs. Merry. They were Cleo's distant relatives. They live outside the city. I deliberately invited them secretly without Cleo's knowledge to surprise her. Are you happy, honey? "

For the first time Harry looked at Cleo, since the man entered. The man gave a faint smile as he spoke. And Cleo, like it or not.

"Of course I'm very happy," Cleo hugged the two adoptive parents she just met happily, "Long time no see, Auntie, Uncle," Cleo said.

Sofia finally understood and smiled happily.

"What a heartwarming family gathering!" She exclaimed. Which made everyone present, apart from herself, able to breath their sighs of relief well.

Almost..

***

Cleo thought that her actions were so fast and smart that she would be able to get at least some praise. But not a compliment. Cleo actually received a complaint.

"You almost threw everything down," Harry said quietly while the wedding was still in progress. And now he was walking toward the pulpit with his future bride, Cleo Alayster.

Cleo looked at him in disbelief. Ignoring all the pairs of eyes staring at them with awe and sparkling eyes, as if they were watching a very rare show that only happened once in a lifetime, Cleo looked at the man with a frown.

"Wasn't that you, who almost made it all fail??!" Cleo replied with a soft whisper. She clearly had to make corrections based on what Harry said.

"I have saved 'us all' from the word 'doomsday". Therefore, shouldn't you say thanks?" Cleo protested.

Harry sneered.

"I admit you are very talented at acting. Maybe because of that too, you managed to persuade Grandma to agree to this marriage easily, and in a very short time. Could it be, after this you plan to become an actress?" Harry replied to Cleo's words with no intention of boasting.
