While on the way to the Leonards' house, the atmosphere in the car was filled with silence. Arabella was seen pretending to close her eyes by leaning her head on the car seat. To be honest, she felt very uncomfortable sitting next to the man she had seen busy with cell phone in hand.
Actually, she was happy when Leonard promised never to touch her like a normal married couple. However, when she has to be in the family circle of a man who she considers a pretend husband. Made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, she was forced to agree for the sake of her goal, which is to think that the man next to her is just a stepping stone in order to get the figure of the man she loves so much.
"Everything will go according to my plan because this bastard looks like he really loves his girlfriend. I have to act well being the cousin of my pretend husband," Arabella whispered in her heart.
Leonard felt the same way, he was very happy to marry the woman he loved so much for more than 15 years. Actually, he's just playing with women in order to forget his feelings for Ayumi, who always says to him, only thinks of him as a brother.
He is too cowardly to express his feelings, for fear of losing Ayumi when the woman he loves so much walks away after revealing everything. Currently, he doesn't stop smiling while texting with Ayumi. Even his current behavior is like a big new kid who is falling in love for the first time.
Ayumi : Leo, is your problem solved?
Leo : Yes, I am currently lying in my room. You are not sleepy? It's midnight.
Ayumi: Not yet. I want to talk about your words earlier in agreeing to marry me.
Leo : We'll discuss it tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up at the apartment. I will tell my parents I will marry you because I love you so much.
Just a blue tick and after that no more replies from Ayumi. Leonard is currently still focused on the screen on his cellphone and waiting for an answer from his declaration of love just now. However, there was no reply. There, after reading the message from him, Ayumi no longer saw the message.
"Has Ayumi fallen asleep after reading my declaration of love? So she didn't have time to answer it and instead fell asleep," Leonard muttered, feeling very dissatisfied and wanting to confirm for himself.
He immediately pressed the call button on the flat object in his hand. However, he only got annoyance. Because the number being dialed is currently busy.
"Who called her? Are her parents angry, because Ayumi left Japan and chose to marry me?"
Leonard turned to Arabella who seemed to have been swept away in her subconscious. Because at this time, his heart was upset because his declaration of love was not responded to at all, making him want to vent his anger on the woman next to him.
Reflexively he had directed his hand to massage Arabella's sharp nose and of course made the woman he wanted to work with twitched in surprise and immediately opened her eyelids.
"Sleep well, you cheap woman!"
The mounting anger that Arabella felt, now seemed to have flared and burned her. However, she desperately restrained herself. Only a sharp gaze full of fire flashes from her eyeballs that represented her current feelings.
"Is your hobby disturbing people's comfort?"
Leonard just laughed and clapped his hands when he saw the reddened face in front of him. "Absolutely not, because I just wanted to annoy you. No one else. Why? You don't accept? If you don't, what will you do? Run and run away from me? Go if you can!"
Only the sound of ragged breaths, represented Arabella's current wrath. The striking sentence of the figure of the man who was smiling mockingly at her, really made her feel like she had no self-respect at all.
"I will go when you divorce me!" Arabella said very firmly.
"Because that is my ultimate goal. Divorce and marry a man who I love very much. I will be patient to accept all this humiliation," Arabella whispered, who had turned her head away, so as not to look at the face of the man next to her.
Raising the corners of his eyebrows, Leonard is now busy guessing what is currently in the brain of the woman next to him. "So your goal is for me to divorce you and you'll never leave until I do?"
"In fact, if you leave quietly forever from my life, we will automatically divorce. However, you are very strange. Because it seems like you want to make me a jerk husband in front of everyone, isn't it? people's eyes?"
Without intending to answer or deny, Arabella didn't open her mouth at all. She is now only focused on observing the passing vehicles next to her.
"It's up to him to nag anything. Dogs bark the caravan passes by," whispered Arabella, who gave a startled beard when her hand was forcibly pulled so that her body shifted closer to the figure of a man who was staring at her very sharply.
"Quickly tell me your cunning plan, you cheap woman!" rebuked Leonard who felt so annoyed when Arabella ignored him, that he, unable to contain his anger, wanted to make Arabella confess.
Even his position was now only a few centimeters away, with his face clashing and his gaze sharp, so that he could clearly observe the sculpture of the woman who always made him angry.
Arabella, who was staring at Leonard's thick eyes, didn't feel scared at all and turned her gaze even more intensely. As if to show her strength, that she was not a weak woman who was afraid of being threatened.
"I'm not a cheap woman and have a devious plan like your accusations, you bastard!" Arabella pushed the broad chest that had been exposed so clearly showing the abdominal muscles. She shifted her body away from Leonard.
Leonard's body staggered back slightly. His anger was now boiling over and he could no longer tolerate the woman's actions that almost made his head hit the car window, so he immediately shifted his body and locked Arabella's body position with her hand holding the car window.
Arabella swallowed her saliva when Leonard had locked her up. "W-what are you doing? Get away from me!"
With a smirk, Leonard was still staring intently at the figure of a woman who made his anger overflow like a volcano that was about to spit its lava.
"Turns out you're arrogant too. We'll see if you can still be like this when I fuck you. Suddenly I want to give up because I have a wife, shouldn't it be taken advantage of?"
Leonard turned to look at the driver, "We're going to the nearest hotel, sir. Because I want to honeymoon with my wife!"
Leonard immediately rolled his eyes and his body shuddered in horror when he saw the scary face that was right in front of him. He could even smell the minty breath that came out of Leonard's mouth.
"W-what? You're crazy!"
