This while pouring cold sweat. The days leading up to the period are not easy for the author. So if tomorrow can not be up please be understood.
*******************************
"Ayoyo, you're finally here too." said Mery with a happy smile. His granddaughter gathered together and he got one beautiful daughter-in-law. How is he not happy?
"Grandmother," said Julia with a friendly smile. His eyes were filled with affection.
"Oh, don't come down. Looks like your legs hurt so much my daughter-in-law's granddaughter." Ban Mery when she sees Julia squirming down.
"Grandma, what are you doing here?" asked Maxilian directly. His eyes looked coldly sweeping across his five cousins.
Hearing Maxilian blurting out cold words, Julia's hand immediately struck Maxilian's chest lightly. "Darling, can't you ask grandma gently. You could hurt her."
"This bad boy. You're really ungrateful." protested Mery annoyed but he was happy to see Julia defending him.
"Hi, brother-in-law." said Carlen first than the others. He went forward and thrust a white rose in his hand at Julia without seeing Maxilian's increasingly cold expression. "Flower for you."
Ah how Julia could forget to greet to five Maxilian cousins. He smiled sweetly and did not show any caution. Right now he could be relieved that Maxilian was by his side. But Carlen, what is this guy doing?
Julia simply stared at the outstretched flower in front of her without any intention of picking it up. Seeing the flower Maxilian's mood was very bad. But she immediately looked at Carlen and smiled faintly, "I don't receive flowers from men other than my husband, but I think grandma will like it."
Carlen freezes and finally gives the flower to Mery. The feeling is bad because Julia does not hesitate to refuse it in front of many people. The plan clearly failed today.
"Hi Julia, we meet again" said Rose with one hand waving. "Grandmother, we accidentally met at a cafe. I saw Carlen drinking with him."
Lovingly spoiled words that look sincerely spoken from Rose's lips while shaking Mery's arms several times then glanced at Maxilian. He fixes his image and instantly drags Julia under the pretext of meeting with Carlen. As if to tell maxilian that the woman he married met another man behind him secretly.
Julia smiled faintly, looking at Rose coldly. This beautiful girl gave him no time and immediately attacked him. He looked up, and saw a looking down Maxilian looking at him. "I told you, didn't I? That was before the bad thing happened." there was a sad look flashed, making her pretty face a little moody. Drawing everyone's sympathy to the point of forgetting Rose's words.
"Grandma, is she my sister-in-law?" asked the dimpled girl cheerfully. His spirit made the atmosphere around him cheerful. "Oh, she's so pretty. My cousin's sister Lindsey Camilla Lunox, and her," she pointed out, then pulled her sister forward a little. "He's my brother, Harvey, Harvey Jorge Lunox."
Julia smiled at Lindsey's very excited introduction. He turned to Harvey who just lowered his head slightly politely. There was no emotion there, which made Julia even more alert.
"I'm Hanna, Hanna Luisa Lunox. Cousin, you can come to me if you're having trouble."
Julia's gaze fell on the brown-eyed beautiful girl standing beside Mery. There was a smile that looked very familiar in his eyes. The same alert. All felt familiar making Julia pull the two corners of her wide lips. His black eyes clearly showed another emotion.
"Darling, you have many cousins." choosing to ignore Hanna, Julia turned to Maxilian and said as if very envious.
"Grandmother, how long are we gonna stand outside?" maxilian protest understood Julia's insinuation.
"Ayoyo, I was too happy to forget. Let's go in, get in, and let our bride try on the dress."
Everyone walks into a big building. The building has luxurious decorations with wedding dress displays in each room. Inside there is even a family chair that can accommodate them all. All sides of the room look comfortable and quiet. They all sat in the family seats and stared at each other.
"Sister, you should have prepared the best dress that sister-in-law will wear" Lindsey said as she looked at Rose.
"You can calm down, Grandma is here to observe him. Isn't that so grandma?"
Mery smiled, "Good girl."
Julia's heart cools when she finds out that this luxury clothing boutique belongs to Hanna. He looked at Maxilian who was sitting beside him and looked unperturbed. Why didn't this man tell himself that the place they were visiting belonged to one of his cousins. Well, it seems like the difficulties one by one will come to him.
Julia looked at her husband's cousins one by one. All looked warm and happy with a sweet smile that looked sincere. But he's not as stupid as they think. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that everything here was full of falsehoods. That smile, that joke, that warmth, it's all fake. There were a lot of emotions playing in their eyes all. The only person who can hide his emotions well is the brown-eyed woman who is now looking at him with an attentive gaze. Hanna! the owner of this shop.
Julia chose silence and did not interfere in the conversation to five cousins Maxilian. He prefers to observe and be a spectator. But when Tomas suddenly came in with a high-heeled shoe, everyone's gaze fell on Maxilian and then on him in turn.
"Honey, I can do it myself." Julia's surprise wasn't finished because Tomas came to bring a pair of shoes, this time she saw a cruel Maxilian looking down on her feet. Of course he refused.
"Split your feet." Maxilian ordered quietly. Somehow it sounded soft in Mery's ears and to his five cousins.
Julia was stunned to open her mouth for a moment. A Maxilian pairing shoes on his feet? Maxilian who once threatened while strangling his neck is currently being gentle with him?Although he knew the two of them were working together in displaying a happy family relationship but still, it all felt a little excessive for him. Seeing Maxilian being gentle and considerate, even made Julia more alert.
Eventually Julia simply complied and let Maxilian pair the high heels on her feet. The silver-colored shoes scattered with gemstones looked very beautiful and comfortable to wear. Julia had no idea where Maxilian was getting her leg size from but what was clear was that the little thing her husband had just done had touched the corner of her heart.
"Ah sister-in-law.this is the latest design shoes are very limited from the best designers in Paris" said Lindsey with sparkling eyes. He saw Julia's white feet that looked beautiful with her expensive shoes. Surprised Julia with sparkling eyes. "Sister-in-law, you have beautiful legs. Ah, I want it."
"Oh those shoes." said Hanna with eyes full of interest. "Cousin brother, where did you get it? I even ordered it, but I didn't even get it. But you're.."
Julia looked at the two women who looked very interested in the shoes on her feet. But upon seeing Maxilian who had been sitting nonchalantly in her chair, Julia smiled faintly. She approached suddenly and floated a light kiss on her husband's cheek.
"Thank you my husband. I like it so much."
Maxilian looked at him with a complicated look. She looked at Julia's sincere smile and sparkling eyes. Then the wet taste in his cheeks was still felt to the bottom of his heart. A taste that could shake his heart. But in the end he just chose to nod his head rather than answer with a lot of things.
"Ayoyo, my granddaughter is really an adult. Ah, I didn't even know that this brat had a little attention." Merry was quite surprised to see everything. This was the thing he had been waiting for. Seeing his favorite grandson marry a beautiful woman and sincerely love her. Giving life that can make his soul more human.
"Grandma, now you don't have to worry about your cousin anymore. He has been a good husband." comfort Hanna by stroking Merry's fingers.
"Sister Hanna was right. Grandma should also remember that grandma still has a sweet granddaughter like me. I won't worry you about my mischief." This time Lindsey chimed in. Makes Rose feel sick of the falsehood of all those who are praising Julia and maxilian.
Rose looked at Julia with an angry look when she heard the word 'my husband' coming out of Julia's lips. Even making Hanna, Lindsey even Mery stare in envy. And he was even more angry when he saw Maxilian being gentle and attentive to Julia. He had never seen such a Maxilian attitude towards another woman before. And after seeing all that, making all his anger drown his whole heart. It should be him! The girl who should have received all the gentle treatment was herself.
But why would an innocent girl like Julia get all that love. Maxilian should continue to be cold and cruel to all women. But why has he changed now? Why is Maxilian willing to humble herself to put shoes on Julia's feet? Is so much of Julia's influence that it can control the heart and mind of a maxilian? He can't take it!
"Oh you guys make me jealous" Carlen said staring enviously at Julia and Maxilian.
While Harvey only looked flat while watching Julia for a while and secretly also noticed Maxilian simultaneously. They seem to forget the initial intention of those who want to see Maxilian and Julia try on a wedding dress.
"Sister-in-law, if you don't like those shoes, give them to me." Lindsey asked with sparkling eyes.
Julia smile. "I think these shoes would be a good move from my husband. Lindsey, I'm sorry you're disappointed."
Lindsey initially pouted but then laughed. She pointed at Julia's hand and asked, "Sister, show me your wedding ring. I wonder what my cousin's choice would be. Is that still the most expensive and luxurious ring that only you have?"
Wedding ring?
Maxilian and Julia looked at each other for a moment. Then they both looked at Tomas who was mash standing by the door. Julia smiled, she pulled her hand and showed her empty finger. All gazes fell on Maxilian.
"Can you see it?" julia asked to make everyone look at her.
"Don't joke sister-in-law, I don't see the ringleader." hit Hanna straight away.
"Me too, but sister, your fingers are so beautiful." Lindsey added. He looked at Mery and pulled Mery's hand slowly. "Grandmother did you see sister-in-law wearing a wedding ring?"
Maxilian only pulled the tea that had been served in front of him. He didn't comment because he knew Julia could handle everything. His wife is not stupid.
But in Carlen's eyes, Harvey and Rose were all different. There was a smile on their lips. Getting married without a wedding ring? Or Maxilian who didn't think about it? it clearly showed the marriage situation they both had. Because it is not the first time women whine asking for a wedding ring that finally makes Maxilian teased until then dumped just like that. And this time they were all convinced that Julia would whine as well as the previous ladies to ask for a wedding ring.
"You didn't see him?" repeat Julia again.
All shakes. They were staring at Julia strangely. Seeing that Julia laughed then looked at Maxilian. He approached, extending his hand to Maxilian gently. "Honey, they can't see the ring. Oh, I forgot,"
