My Cold Paid Husband

Episode 21: A Consolation

When Emelin opened her eyes, she saw the figure of a very familiar Man in front of her, that person held the hand of his Father who was intending to slap him, then said coldly.

"Please take care of how you behave in someone else's home, Mr. Alvan."

It was Antony her husband.

"You!! You are just my daughter's paid husband!! You dare to be rude to me? Men don't know themselves!!"

Here, hearing the words of her father who looks insulting to her husband makes Emelin become so angry.

"You!! Look at yourself!! Who here doesn't know himself, Mr Alvan!! You who tried to take my Mother's treasure are not worthy to say that to my Husband!!"

Here, Emelin's father laughed, pointing at Antony in disgust.

"This guy really you consider a husband? Huh... He's just a poor lowlife who just wants your money!!"

"You're even worse!! Don't insult my husband like that!! And eat there Claudia your bastard son! At least My Husband is an honest man unlike you and your Hypocritical Wife and your ILLEGITIMATE SON ITU!!" emelin said again full of anger.

Here, Emelin's father was once again about to slap Emelin, but his hand was once again clutched by Antony.

"You better get out of this house rather than make a lot of noise" said Antony Feha coldly.

"You!! You cheap man!! You mean to throw me out!!"

"GO AWAY FROM HERE!! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE ANYMORE!! WE ARE NOW IN A RELATIONSHIP!! I'M NO LONGER YOUR DAUGHTER! AND YOU ARE NO LONGER MY FATHER!!"

"EMMELIN!!! You guys are so brave, huh?? Who do you think owns this house, huh?"

Here, Antony who had been without the dispersion looked at Emelin's father with a look of disgust.

"Sorry, Mr. Alvan but this is my home. There is not the slightest right or sign of this is the home of the Smith Family. I bought this house with my own money. And we reserve the right to expel you" he said still in a polite tone.

"You!!! A bad house like this!! Where do you think the money you have, huh? It must be from Emelin!!"

"GO!! Antony please force this guy out!! I really don't want to see her face anymore!!"

Here, although Emelin's father still says many vows of expletives that are not worth hearing, Antony scolds the man out of his house.

And when the two men left, and there was only Emelin left in the room, the trembling Emelin went limp and fell on the floor.

His entire body was sweating coldly in horror.

Her tears that she had endured all this time just grew out of nowhere.

The absurd reality that he had just heard....

His heart still hurts...

Can't accept all these things...

He would never have thought that his father was such a jerk...

How he dared to bring his affair and make himself call the man 'Mother', and regarded the illegitimate child as a brother.

So from the beginning....

From the beginning, this was all their game?

He is just an object in their game....

All just a falsity from the beginning just for the treasure...

And thought they had actually managed to trick him and got all the treasures of the Smith Family....

Mothers....

Grandfatherbiscuts....

How's this....

It'sfucking.....

I'm stupid....

I'm swindled....

In this life I just want someone to love me....

Yet...

I was played like this...

Why would....

Why they all got to him...

What has he been doing all this time?

Emelin sniffled there, tears could not swaddle anymore.

Grief and guilt arise in Emelin's heart.

There, Antony, who had just returned to the living room, saw Emelin stir.

He doesn't know what to respond to.

"Generic..."

Here, the charming Emelin stared at the voice calling out his name, trying to wipe away a few tears with his hands.

"Antony, do you think I'm stupid?"

"Maybe yes. You're always so easily fooled by some sweet words." Antony answered honestly.

Here, Emelin shows her pouting face, quite surprised by the blatant and direct answer from Antony.

"Aren't you supposed to entertain me or something? Don't be so honest...."

"I don't know how to comfort a woman who's a bitch."

Here, Emelin began to stand up and look at Antony, then he began to ask,

"So do you also want to use me as well?"

"You have no money now."

"Are you going to leave me too because I don't have any money?"

"If I wanted to leave you, wouldn't that be a long time ago?"

Emelin began to fall silent, it had a point, since he came back and had nothing, Antony indeed never expelled him even gave himself a loan of money.

This made Emelin wonder...

If it wasn't money why would Antony last this long?

Emelin already had some guesses.

"So all this time... What do you always admire?"

Here, Antony was also a little speechless then started to think, and replied with a hint of hesitation.

"You are my wife. Mother of my Son."

Yes, in his heart Emelin already know this answer even though he did not ask.

Only to the extent that Antony stuttered himself.

Wife in contract, Mother of her Son.

No more than no less.

The kindness she has always received is because she is the mother of Alex.

Maybe he got help all this time from her because Antony didn't want to see his son sad to see his miserable mother.

Even though he knows this for sure...

But at times like this he wants at least a little hope.

"You're saying too honestly. You're still the same as when we first met,"

Yeah, since the first time they met, Antony has been like that.

It was the same when they first met, before he started to apply for a contract marriage.

He asked me like this once, though,

"Am I pretty?"

"Yes, you're beautiful."

"Then do you like me?"

"You're beautiful, that's all. It won't make me like you just because you're beautiful."

The words are cold yet actually quite honest.

Just because she is beautiful, not everyone will like her...

Here Emelin realized clearly, that there was a clear line in the relationship between him and Antony that had been made a long time ago.

The lines are clearly visible...

There is no love in it...

According to their contract.

They are only husband and wife in name...

No more and no less...

She's just a Contact Wife to Antony...

Which also happens to be the mother of her Son...

"At least you should pretend to be sweet at times like this, like, saying 'I like you' or something."

"Do you really like sweet words even if they're lies?"

"I hate him so much...."

"I understand. So doubt it if you want to challenge no need to pretend to be strong."

"You're infuriating... No consolation at all...."

Here, Emelin cried again.

In silence, Antony hugged Emelin, allowing Emelin to vent all his emotions.

Emelin who felt the warmth of this embrace, let it go, and remained stirred in this embrace.

Well....

Even though he knew, this was just an ordinary hug there was no feeling in it...

And even though he knew Antony didn't have the slightest feelings for him....

At least he wants to enjoy this hug even if only for a moment...

A warm embrace that made her feel calm....
