My Cold Paid Husband

Episode 115: The Beginning of All This (Part 1)

In these busy days, Antony finally has free time to meet with Uncle Radit, which is Tomorrow Night.

The plan he will also ask Uncle Radit about the mass of Mama Emelin, and for this Emelin may indeed have to know as well.

So, he has also informed Emelin about this, and looking for the right time between Emelin busy so that he can participate listen to Uncle Radit's story.

However, he is also quite curious about the story behind all these traditions.

Antony stared at a pendant with a sapphire in his hand.

This is also a Pendant that he managed to get, when Emelin's father sold some Jewelry owned by Mama Emelin.

Truly a man does not know himself, dare to sell jewelry belonging to his Ex-Wife.

Hah, it's too lazy to think about it.

Only he was quite curious about the story behind this necklace...

Relationship between his father and Mama Emelin...

What exactly happened in the past?

It's possible that Uncle Radit would know these things as well isn't it?

He also could not ask his father directly.

Tonight, he had to go to the Andrson Family's Grand House for dinner, which was really devastating.

Antony then put the locket back in his pocket.

Maybe if Emelin knew, if his father also had the heart to sell his mother's relics, Emelin would be angry, so as much as possible he got back the items, and fortunately had time. Including this seemingly historic Pendant.

Arriving at the Anderson Family residence, the atmosphere there was still as usual that looked peaceful and gloomy, but was actually full of pressure.

In the middle of the hallway to the Dining Room, Antony happens to meet his father who is staring at a painting of the Anderson Family.

His father's gaze into the painting was filled with loneliness.

Indeed, as far as Antony knew his grandmother had died long enough.

And although there was no new Grandmother in the Anderson Family, her Grandfather was shown to have illegitimate children outside of Marriage.

Although his grandfather did not really acknowledge the child openly, still...

There seems to be some dispute there.

Thomas, staring at the painting, heard Antony's footsteps and turned his head.

"Have you come?"

Antony then replied in a pretty cold tone,

"Yes, good night Dad."

"Are you in good health?"

"Is it important to Dad?"

Hearing Antony's answer, Thomas still did not change his excursion.

"You can't answer mediocre?"

"Yes. Whatever Dad. And what are you doing here and not coming in?"

"Just look at some old paintings. Isn't this painting pretty?"

"I find it quite strange, why would the Anderson Family keep such a Painting, not a Photo."

"That's because this painting is so beautiful. This painting was made by my little cook's friend on your Grandpa and Grandma's Wedding Anniversary."

Antony then stared at the painting song, indeed the painting was made quite beautiful and nice, looking like a professional.

But after seeing this painting, Antony suddenly remembered a painting with a fairly similar style.

Maybe it's a painting at the Smith House?

Yes, some rich people may indeed know each other and be intertwined somehow.

This isn't Olivia Smith, is it?

A little curious, Antony then began to ask, saying,

"It does look like a Professional Painting, who painted it?"

"That's a painting from Olivia... Olivia Smith's... She used to be a talented student from the Arts Department. He was very talented at painting since he was a child, he was always excited and very serious when he painted... I've always admired him for how great he is when he paints,"

When talking about this name, Antony saw clearly the change in his father's dispersion, which usually shows a cold face, now shows a softness and warmth when talking about Olivia's name.

Like a full dispersion... Longing and Love?

"You may know this name, but never met her, She is your Mother-in-law."

"Do you know about this?"

"Initially I don't know, only knowing recently after meeting your Wife, it really happened that it was the same Emelin as Princess Olivia. Yeah, she looks a lot like Olivia. You have good taste,"

Of course, at that time, Thomas investigated the matter of his Son, if his Son was married but did not read the report about his Son's Wife only knew his condition at that time and his name.

Thomas would have never thought the World could be so narrow, to think his Son could marry the Daughter of Olivia Smith, his Ex-Fiancee and Childhood Friend...

And....

First Love....

"Yes, we may coincidentally have the same taste," Antony said suddenly, making Thomas stare in wonder at him, then asked, asking,

"You know about that?"

Antony did not reply, but took out a pendant necklace from his pocket, which surprised Thomas even more.

"That canyon.... Where'd you get it?"

"Do you not know or pretend not to know?" Ask Antony again.

Thomas then remembered some rumors that later circulated among some entrepreneurs about the CEO of the Smith Group who was now having an affair.

Noticing those things, a sense of anger suddenly appeared in Thomas' heart.

"What about the rumors? Yep... Alvan betrayed Olivia."

"Maybe this Olivia Smith would be so angry if she knew...."

Thomas then breathed a heavy sigh.

"She may know but prefers to pretend not to know. She's not really a fool who's easy to deceive, but she can be so stupid out of Love..."

Thomas began to notice distant events in the past...

Olivia's smile suddenly appeared...

'Hey, Thomas you know? Today I might find my true love....'

A girl he loved, but could never have.

"I think Olivia Smith was, she was never happy...." Antony said suddenly.

Hearing Antony's comments, Thomas becomes enraged,

"What do you know about him, huh? Did you just hear bad rumors about him?"

"He married someone who didn't love him. So she must be unhappy...."

"Olivia... He's not really that kind of person.... She's just a girl who used to love painting... He does have some bad qualities. And about the wedding... He's married to the person he loves should he be happy."

"But he was never happy" Antony said.

"A lot of things happened that day until we broke up. No, more precisely from the beginning the Engagement was Fake... Just an arranged marriage, and to please her father, Olivia wants to pretend to be engaged to me temporarily, until she finds the person she loves..."

Antony feels the beginning of this story sounds pretty familiar?

Where has he ever heard of it?
