Married Contract With You, My Perfect Husband Chapter 70
Advertisement
There were indeed many ranks of other beautiful women around them. But the word match and commensurate can rarely be found for those who appeared too conspicuous. So that Cleo's appearance, which was simple but also presentable, was able to make many pairs of eyes look at them since they were curious.
Seeing Steven and Cleo shaking hands longer time than the handshakes were normally supposed to happen. Harry grabbed Steven's hand to join him in shaking hands.
"It is also an honor for me to see you return safely after 5 years in the middle of nowhere. Are you back now to continue your work here?" Harry said, starting the conversation.
Steven seemed to think for a moment.
"I have no idea. It depends on who will be my inspiration," he said, glancing at Cleo a little. And Harry followed his glance.
"You know for yourself how my mood often changes with time and my subject changes. That's why after I moved to Amsterdam 5 years ago, I had time to travel around European and Asian countries looking for inspiration. Until finally I returned to Amsterdam again to stay there for almost a year. I'm finally back here. So can you help me find inspiration?" Steven said with a little crisp chuckle.
Harry had heard most of them and he didn't want to hear them again. He pulled Cleo's hand back to hold his arm, Harry said.
"Then, did you come back together with your sister?" Harry asked while looking around.
"Yes. But she's still getting ready with her appearance in a hotel room," Steven explained in response.
Steven looked at Harry again.
"Why? Are you missing her? " Steven asked deliberately making a joke.
Harry quipped with his gaze. And Steven laughed.
"Reihan didn't dare to come here because he heard that your sister was coming back and will be at this party. So, he conveyed his apology through me."
"He's afraid of my sister?" Steven asked as if it was new news for him even though Steven knew quite clearly what caused it.
Steven returned to wear a funny smile because of his energetic sister's actions.
"Tell him that my sister has changed a lot. She was no longer the Steylla that Reihan had known. And she also had closed her feelings for Reihan. So tell him not to be afraid of my little sister anymore! She has been tamed and will never bite again," Steven returned to throw his joke book teasingly.

Harry looked at him curiously.
"So she has changed and she doesn't have any feelings for Reihan?" Harry asked with all his curiosity.
Because Harry always thought that Steylla would be very difficult to forget her first love, Reihan. But it turned out that over time, her feelings have now changed?
Steven gave reassurance to his serious facial expression.
"Yes. Therefore, tell him that Steylla now has a lover, " Steven added, which made Harry so amazed to hear it.
"She has a boyfriend now?" Harry asked.
"Yes, of course. Is my sister a nun who would never be able to date? " Steven cried a little angrily. He added, "Besides, her boyfriend is said to be very handsome and crossbreed. So Reihan will definitely lose far from him! "
Cleo continued to listen to their conversation as simple as possible. Even though Cleo knew enough that they were talking about Reihan, her former boss. But Cleo didn't have any intention to join their conversation.
It's just that Cleo was quite surprised why her former boss, Reihan, was so afraid of Steven's younger sister, Steylla. Did they have a relationship that was too bad that they were on opposite sides when she had feelings for him?
The look on Cloe's face that looked confused caught Steven's attention to staring at her.
"Why? Are you bored? " Steven asked, looking at Cleo with the corners of his lips slightly raised upwards.
"I'm sorry, because we even had to talk about things that are sure to sound boring to your ears. So what do you want ... "
Not finished yet Steven continued his words. His eyes caught a figure he was very familiar with. Steven glanced at Harry in horror.
"This is bad! Didn't I never invite her here?" he asked, confused and pushed back his slightly long bangs, "What is she doing here?"
Not only Cleo who seemed confused by the direction of the question. But also Harry, who quickly turned his head following Steven's direction.
Sharpening his eyesight, Harry cursed irritably. Cleo looked at him in surprise.
"Come on, we move!" Harry exclaimed as he pulled Cleo along with him.
But when he was about to turn around and avoid a problem that might mess with his good mood. Troublemakers came right beside him without them being able to prevent.

Cleo looked confusedly at a beautiful woman who suddenly greeted them friendly.
"Hallow!! How are you all? Long time no see! Steven, this is your gift! I wish you a happy birthday and congratulations on your success," a large-chested and sexy dressed woman exclaimed in a very spoiled and coquettish voice and handed over her gift.
Steven accepted the gift reluctantly.
"Thank you, Miss Martharine. But, how did you get an invitation?" Steven asked with a direct shot.
Steven clearly had deliberately left out the woman's name in his invitation letter. Then, where did the woman with the thick make-up get the invitation and enter the party so freely? Was she sabotaging again like that woman had done so many times?
Because this was the first party Harry had attended since he got married. Where Cleo turned out to be with him too. And Martharine could always found ways to get into any party he was attending.
Cleo certainly won't know how crazy that woman was in pursuing her husband!
Steven stared in horror at Harry's now tense face.
However, it seemed that the source of the tension can act very naturally in responding to Steven's insinuation.
"I accepted your invitation from Nicole. She was unable to attend and asked me to replace her. And surprising!! I'm still here even though you forgot to send me an invitation!" Martharine exclaimed cheerfully also overconfident with her own imagination.
"And one more thing. Didn't I ask you to call me Martha? Why are you still calling me so stiffly?" Martha said who immediately got her a clumsy smile from Steven.
Steven looked at her in disbelief. Everything Martha said must have been a fake story she had fabricated. Because the real story was, Martha must have lured Nicole with various things that made her want to voluntarily exchange her invitation letter.
You idiot Nicole! How dare she trade her cherished invitation for a dime bait the woman deliberately threw at her!
Steven could have sworn! She will never again invite that person on his show whichever he will make in the future even if she pleaded with prostrations!
Steven cursed Nicole in his heart.
Martha who either knew or didn't want to know with Steven's clumsy expression turned her attention to the other side that occupied her attention.
With the emotion that she was holding back and the feeling of happiness that was stored in her deepest heart, Martha greeted her handsome idol with a smile as light and as cute as possible to tease him.
Harry stared at the expression in disgust. And Cleo just kept on listening. It seemed like she was starting to understand the situation a bit.
"Hi, dear! Turns out you were at this party too huh?" Martha said pretending not to know and acting as if their meeting was a coincidence.
Harry didn't reply.
"Honestly, I didn't know Steven would invite you to this party too," Martha explained again which made Steven held his laughter in his heart.
What didn't she know? Wasn't it precisely because she was sure that Harry would be here that she came along uninvited? Besides that, Martha also knew clearly that Harry had been friends with him for a long time? So how could Steven didn't invite Harry?
Martha glanced slightly at Cleo with no interest, then pretended to be surprised. And the corners of her eyes continued to stare at Cloe's hand, which was still hanging sweetly on Harry's arm.
Say hello to Martha.
"Omg! I didn't realize you brought someone here. Is she ...? " Martha deliberately floated her words to be completed. And Harry quickly continued on.
"My wife. Cleo Alayster, " Harry said flexibly while getting closer to Cleo so that Martha could see her. And emphasize the word 'wife' in the pronunciation.
Cleo, who was not used to hearing that warm words, almost choked. And Martha, who had managed to spit out jealous and angry flames in her head, looked at Cleo with her sharp eyes.
Then Cleo, who had managed to pull herself together, reached out her free hand to shake hands.
"Hi! I'm Cleo Alayster. Nice to meet you, "Cleo greeted casually and politely.
Martha glanced at the reaching hand lazily and arrogantly.
