Bad Husband Mask Fake
Chapter 24. Wearied

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

Trying to concentrate on doing everything. Walking towards another department brought some files and a flash.

Just walking was what he did, passing through the room where Claudia was usually present. His eyes looked around, only an empty room was there. Secretary Claudia looks busy working.

"Claudia hasn't returned?" ask the secretary.

"Not yet, Miss Claudia is spending her honeymoon. So it might take a long time. Given her age of 33, she should soon have a successor. Why regretted?" ask the secretary, fix the location of his glasses are slightly degenerate.

"No, it's just that I'm not sure Claudia married because she loves him.." The answer from Evan, his lips quivering, his fingers clenched.

"Why if you get married but don't love her. Many marriages stem from passionate love but end in divorce. There are also marriages only because of arranged marriages but survive until death separates. Love is an illusion of necessity. You don't need a woman so domineering that you can leave Claudia at the altar alone." An indifferent sentence from the secretary, back typing does not care about this man anymore.

"Why doesn't he go, I've sent a message to-" Evan's sentence interrupted.

"Because he trusted br*hg men like you until the last second. Only friends? What has the lady done for you? You don't know that?" Without the secretary, Evan is stunned. It's impossible, right? His life path is too easy.

"I've been working as a secretary to the great lord (father of Claudia) still alive. So I had a chance to see him, seducing the big master into giving you a scholarship in secret. Besides you think how could your parents suddenly get a home inheritance? It comes from my lady's savings. Because I can't bear to see you live in a farmhouse. Your parents already know. That's why they must be upset to death to see that woman who is too good to you waiting patiently at the altar. Your mother and father left the church crying. Even apologizing to Miss (Claudia) they feel they have no face." The sentence after sentence the secretary said was full of smiles.

Evan was silent for a moment, stunned by the flowing tears. He who knows nothing, how can Claudia hide everything.

"Thank you for resuscitating the lady before she married you. The man who has become a slave of love is deaf and blind. You have opened your eyes, that no matter how hard you try there are things that cannot be changed. Anj*ng is still anj*ng however dressed and given food." A sneering smile, a cynical look. This guy doesn't respect her anymore, like he used to.

But that's not the problem. Everything he said was true. Why he never suspected the easy way of life.

When he had to work sewing after college, taking cloth from the garment, working on it in a narrow rented place. Claudia was always there, cutting the cloth, doing all she could to help him without lowering her self-esteem.

Deg

A beating heart for him, no more words spoken for the defense of realizing everything. The old man who always looked up to Claudia. But the woman always wants to help, only with words called friendship. Not type? What is his type? He does not like women who are too domineering, preferring women who make him want to protect.

"Why!? Shame!?" ask the secretary again, clenching his forehead full of smiles."Just one thing I want to tell you. I know what your husband looks like now. But I saw myself through a video call when Miss called me. Miss looks happy, that's enough. When three months into a loving relationship with you, the lady is never happy."

In the end Evan stepped away, speechless. What's he looking for? The current position of manager, is this also because of Claudia?

Nothing was clear, everything felt faint like a thin fog. Quietly when reaching the end of the hallway where he can freely see the sky.

Loneliness, that's the feeling right now. His hand reached for the phonecell, attaching the file he brought for a moment. Contact Erlina to make sure. What does he need to be sure of? Make sure his heart is in the right place.

"Hello darling..." Say someone across there.

"I want to see you this afternoon. I miss you." Evan let out a rough sigh, without a smile and expression of himself speaking. One word that happened in his life.

Evan just fell silent, what happened to him all this time? Not understanding at all. Staring at his trembling hands. Perhaps this feeling of guilt, he will return Claudia's money slowly.

*

Wait out? That's what he did in a quiet apartment. The less he met Erlina now.

Until the door opened, the smiling woman brought several boxes of famous restaurant food. And a faint look at one contraceptive box.

Nibbling the bottom of his own lips. When the woman smiled as she hugged him, saying."I love you." the word was said by him again.

But not like before. He will be happy to hear it. This time it was just a bland feeling that was in his heart.

When did everything start to break down? It started when Erlina dropped the drink on her clothes. Apologizing to her, crying guiltily. At that time he just stared how helpless this woman in accordance with her type.

But now?

He ate food in front of him. The words were heard again. The sobbing that initially made Erlina look need protection from him. But this time it looks bad.

"A. I'm thinking about Claudia. Are you her best friend, do you not sympathize with her?" he asked with tears flowing.

"No.." lied Evan, wanting to know the end of this conversation. Eating chicken in front of him. Smiling like nothing happened.

"She got married definitely because of coercion or maybe use? How could that poor, stupid, broken-faced man fit in with my cousin. Claudia is like my sister! I've been thinking about it lately. A..aku---" Erlina's sentence is interrupted.

"That's his choice, we don't have the right to interfere too much about his life." The answer from Michael, still holding everything in his heart. Waiting for where this conversation will come down.

"I feel guilty, I've let him wait for you in front of the altar. A.. I feel guilty, se. We should break up and you go back to her..." The words came out of Erlina's mouth.

The sentence that made Evan stop his eating activity. Is it not for love? Is it true that Claudia said that this woman's feelings were only due to the fight for inheritance?

A cautious man is never rash at all."I love you, there is no need to feel guilty. If need be I'll make up for my guilt by buying Claudia a wedding gift honeymoon ticket. Love or not, those feelings will slowly grow over time."

Clenching his trembling hands."You never loved me?" his inner.

"It can't be like that. Come back to her..." Erlina said in tears.

Tears made Evan even more tired. He can accept all the reasons Erlina had so far. The first woman he knew. But he wasn't the first for the woman.

"returned? Let's just stop our relationship here." A smile on Evan's face. The teary face of the young man found no place to lean.

She misses Claudia ...
