A Substitute
Go home

Two days later...

Rea was already in the courtyard of her husband's Mansion. He looks dazed following Teo's footsteps entering the Mansion. Stranger, that was how Rea felt right now, maybe it was because his memory loss made him feel alien to the Mansion.

The servants greeted him kindly, especially Berta. Berta looks so happy when he sees his master bringing Rea home, moreover, Olivia is no longer in this Mansion makes Berta very sure if the master prefers Rea compared to Olivia.

"Welcome, miss Rea. I'm glad you're finally back at this Mansion." Welcome Berta kindly and also a smile on his face.

Rea frowned, she looked at Berta questioningly, then she looked at her husband. "He who?" ask him to Teo.

Berta who heard Rea's words also looked very surprised, why did the nonanya not recognize him? Is there something wrong with the nona? Well, Berta himself doesn't know.

"He's Berta the butler at this Mansion." Answer Teo gently. Berta did not look like the other servants. Perhaps it was because he had worked in the Mansion for a long time and he was free to wear any clothes as he wanted, unlike the other servants who wore similar clothes.

"Sir, what's wrong with Miss Rea? Why doesn't he recognize me?" Ask Berta confused. Though only a few days did not meet, but Rea had not recognized him. It's very strange, isn't it?

Teo sighed, he looked at Berta flatly, then he said. "Rea had an accident and she lost her memory, so she couldn't remember anyone including her own name."

"Accident? Why didn't you tell me that Miss Rea had an accident? Gee whiz... " Berta looked very surprised to hear the words of her master. "It's only fitting that Miss Rea doesn't recognize me. Turns out he's amnesiac." Inner Berta while looking at Rea with sadness.

"Here you go, you better have the waiter prepare lunch for us." Teo orders Rea's hand and takes her to his room.

Berta nodded, then walked to the kitchen and told the waiter to prepare the master and nonanya lunch.

"Let's rest for a while, and then we'll come down for lunch." Teo said after him and Rea in his room.

"All right." Answer Rea is short and solid.

Teo looked at Rea questioningly, because these days Rea was very cold to him, even when he had brought her home, Rea looked very reluctant. Maybe if it wasn't for her mother-in-law, Rea would definitely not be in the Mansion at the moment.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so cold these days?" Teo asked with eyes still fixed on Rea.

Rea shook his head slowly, he looked at Teo flatly. "There's nothing. Maybe it's just your feelings." His reply sounded cold in Teo's ears.

If there's nothing, you can't be cold like this" Teo took a breath, then exhaled slowly. "Are you still angry because I lied to you about our marriage?" Ask Teo again.

"Teo, can we not talk about this matter? Let me rest, ok." Pinta Rea begged a little.

"Well, we're not going to talk about this anymore. But, please don't be cold to me, it hurts me." Teo sounded sad. "I beg you, forgive all my past mistakes, Rea. Let me make it up to you." Continue to hold Teo warmly while holding Rea's palm.

Rea let out a sigh, and he pulled his hand from Teo's grasp. "Leave me alone, I want to rest." Pinta Rea unwillingly answered Teo's words just now.

Teo relented, turned around and left Rea alone. "I won't give up Rea, I will definitely make up for all my mistakes to you. No matter if you're cold or not, I still won't give up." Inner Teo with a tightly clenched tanga.

Seriate.
