Chapter 86 - 086 ( Honeymoon )
Christina immediately agreed by putting all her belongings into the room first. Then went to the kitchen to wash her hands. And immediately joined everyone who had been waiting for her.
As usual, Grandma sat in the main chair. Meanwhile, Harry and Cleo sat on the left side of the grandmother. Alfin and Dirga sat on the right side of the grandmother. Christina chose to take a seat right next to Cleo.
Say hello to her before sitting down and smiling.
"Hi, sis! You're just getting prettier! I love seeing your face!" Christina praised her sweet style.
And hen turned the plate over to fill her meal.
Alfin looked at her with a strange look.
"Hey! Hey! Wait a moment. Have you changed your direction now to become a lesbian? Why do you greet women like that? What kind of manners did you study? Or you hang out with the wrong people too much?" Alfin asked teasingly.
Christina sneered.
"Stupid brother! This is none of your business. Besides, why did you come here? I think you forgot about this house. When was the last time you came here? " Christina asked, deliberately heating things up.
Alfin glared at her inadvertently.
"You don't change either! Always talk disrespectfully to me! I'm older than you after all! So don't try to knock me down on your grandma!" Alfin protested without feeling afraid and instead threw a strange laugh that Christina completely ignored.
Christina glanced at Cleo.
"Thank you sis for that time! And please be more careful with that one of my brothers! He likes to trick many people!" Christina chirped in an almost whisper.
But her voice wasn't low enough not to be heard by everyone at the dinner table.
Alfin looked away. And Cleo laughed at the behavior of both of them.
"Is there anything funny, my daughter-in-law?" Sofia asked, who realized Cleo was smiling silently.
Cleo looked at Sofia.
"No, Grandma! I just feel happy because you guys are so cute. In the past, during dinner time like this, my house was always quiet and never this crowded. So suddenly, I remembered and felt happy spontaneously," Cleo said honestly in reply.
Everyone glanced at her.
"Where is your family?" Alfin asked, who did not know anything about Cleo's family, who had indeed died and now she was the only one who lives her life.
Cleo smiled to answer it.
It seemed unethical to tell this less interesting story at the dinner table. But Harry, who seemed to catch Cleo's reluctant expression, immediately asked Alfin to close his mouth and not ask many questions.
"Just continue eating. And no need to ask many questions," Harry exclaimed, breaking the awkwardness.
Only Sofia, Harry, and Dirga know more about Cleo's status, which was now only an orphan. So that none of them wanted to make Cleo bother to explain it again.
Christina, who was checking her cellphone, suddenly voiced her wish.
"Oh! Later I want to ask for your Instakiloo account, okay?" Christina said to Cleo.
"Because looks like yesterday we forgot to exchanged accounts. Let's accept friendship on each other's accounts. So that we'll be able to DM each other occasionally, hehe.. " Christina added.
Cleo listened to her in confusion.
"Instakiloo? What is that?" Cleo asked, not completely understanding. Then began to understand a little after thinking more.
"Ah, you mean social media accounts?" asked Cleo with smiled shyly.
She apologizes.
"Sorry, I don't have any social media accounts. So, I can't be friends with you there!"
Christina was immediately taken aback.
"You don't have social media accounts?" Christina asked incredulously.
Excuse me!
Was there one person on earth who doesn't have a social media account today??
Even grandmothers who were so old also enthusiastic when discussing their unreal accounts! Well, this one...!!
Oh, no..
Christina's head felt like was getting dizzy.
"Fine if you don't have one. What if I made it. It's easy! Later, I'll teach you how to use it. Create a new social account and make friends among us." Christina replied enthusiastically
Although she was disappointed her cousin-in-law lacked the comfort of life.
Cleo looked at her awry and grinned stiffly.
"Sorry, Christina. My phone is old. So, I can't save any application in it."
Cleo showed the small cellphone in her hand calmly.
Christina, who saw, was even more shocked. She patted her forehead lightly and glared at Harry.
"What is this, Mr. Harry? Why didn't you pay attention to your wife? Does the wife of Harry Miles Theodore still have to use such a cellphone in this sophisticated era?!"
Christina protested insistently.
Anyone could tell that Harry Miles was an extremely cold man. But, should he be so indifferent even to his own wife?
Shouldn't he spoil Cleo properly?
He can spend Cleo on various beautiful and expensive clothes. But he couldn't buy Cleo just one sophisticated cellphone like hers?
Christina shuddered in horror at the thought of the out of sync. Likewise with Sofia, who was not too happy with the information she heard.
"Then. Let's go, grandma! Buy one for her, later! This situation made me frustrating and depressing!"
Sofia agreed.
"Yes. Of course! Grandma is not stingy like her husband and grandma will give the most sophisticated cellphone for Cleo!"
Cleo and Harry looked at each other.
Sofia and Christina did a weird high-five.
"Yeah! You are the best! And you are a loser"
Christina named her grandmother a winner and Harry a loser.
Alfin and Dirga hold back their laughter.
Christina approached Cleo.
"Just tell me, what type of cellphone you want! Whatever it is, I will help you to find that and buy!"
Cleo was even more uncomfortable and felt wrong in speaking.
Christina added.
"And one more thing, don't call me Christina. But, Tina!" Christina protested.
"The long name makes me feel like a distance. And better call me Tina so that we can get along better! Anyway, I will immediately send the newest cellphone to you! So, throw your old cellphone away! And use what suits you!"
Alfin sneered at Christina.
"What's the matter with you? Why are you being so spoiled to your sister-in-law? Do you want to request something from her?" Alfin asked.
Not understanding the change in Christina's attitude, which he thought was so different when she confronted him.
Christina glared sarcastically.
"This is none of your business, Brother Alfin!" Christina argued, ignoring him.
Harry now joined in.
"You don't have to bother doing that. Because I'm the one who will ask Dirga to find it," Harry said coolly.
Breaking the debate between Christina and Alfin. Christina finally nodded in agreement while shrugging her shoulders.
"Oke. Whatever. The important thing is you have to take care of your wife very well! Don't embarrass Theodore's surname!" Christina reminded.
Harry frowned.
What does this have to do with the family's good name?
Confused but didn't ask too many questions or continue the debate.
Harry saw Dirga noted his additional assignments.
Sofia opened another conversation that surprised everyone.
"So, when are you planning to go on your honeymoon?" asked Sofia.
Glancing sharply at the two couples in front of her.
That statement made Cleo, who at that time still filled her mouth with food, almost choked.
"Cough ... Cough ..."
She coughed very softly and took a drink.
Harry began to think about what was next. And Alfin, who was the first to give his voice response faster than anyone else.
"They have to go on their honeymoon?" Alfin asked in surprise.
Sofia looked at him confidently.
"Of course! Why not?!" Sofia asked back and it was enough to make Alfin not dare to reply.
He only glanced at Harry and Cleo in horror. Then think with certainty, if Grandma had the will and was aiming for something. Whoever it would have to bow to her!
"We'll think about it," Harry answered, which only took the safe path.
But his words that didn't show any certainty, made Sofia unsatisfied.
"When and where? Have you thought about it before?" Sofia asked further to emphasize what she wanted to know.
Of course, it would sound strange. If something like a honeymoon had never been thought of by a newly married couple.
Harry was still thinking.
And finally answered.
"I have no idea. We still haven't thought about it, Grandma!"
Alfin was stunned by the answer.
Did Harry think all those answers would satisfy his grandmother?
Waw!
Alfin believes it is impossible.
Come on!
Couldn't that man lie a little?
Alfin looked at Harry a bit annoyed. And Cleo chose not to say anything because of course, all decisions rests with Harry's mouth.
So, she didn't have to bother to compile an idea.
Because she will be blamed later if she didn't think carefully before saying something.
Sofia continued to stare at Harry.
"Think about it, now! And make the answer immediately! I want to know what your decision is and tell me directly!"
Everyone was silent.
Because Sofia's voice sounded so cold when she wanted to impose her will.
