Butterfly In You
Chapter 40: Hair Clamp

Jesslyn's slow steps led her to sit in the chair of her office. His face was pale, not stirring up passion at all. Put the office bag carelessly on the floor near the foot of the table. His vision was forward, but crumbling. Not focusing in one direction because Jesslyn was daydreaming.

Sad wrapped in wounds, maybe that's what he felt for the answer to his love. Patience all this time, in fact, did not produce any results. Jesslyn's long wait ends in vain because the man she loves, has honestly rejected her love.

Almost her tears rolled down her cheeks. Jesslyn is still trying hard. Until he suddenly remembered that he had stored something in the photo gallery app on his phone and it was Shehan's secret letter.

'Oh, yeah. I haven't checked the letter. What exactly is that letter?'

Jesslyn hurried to pick up her bag again and put it on her lap. Ride into trying to find a phone and only a few seconds, the smart device he managed to find. Jesslyn checked it out.

His eyes rolled from top to bottom. Read all the writing there carefully. How surprised Jesslyn was to find out that Shehan married Lilis only for a contract of cooperation and within a year. That is because Shehan chose Lilis as a guarantor of sponsorship of his residence permit in Indonesia.

"Is this really what I read?" A pair of Jesslyn eyes were rounded.

Not wanting to be mistaken, Jesslyn then read for the second time. The result is still the same as before. Moreover, Jesslyn was increasingly convinced that the letter was true because there were Shehan and Lilis's signatures on the stamp. In fact, Mr. Sebastian-lawyer Shehan co-signed the letter as a witness.

"Not wrong anymore. This letter must be right. Shehan and Lilis's marriage was a contract marriage. That means Shehan doesn't love Lilis. He was just using that innocent girl."

Instead of blaming, Jesslyn justifies Shehan's actions. His eyes sparkled brightly like a green light for the solution of his problem.

"Means I still have a chance to get Shehan's heart back. Yeah, I'm sure this is accurate. The world supported me by showing me the letter."

Jesslyn looked up slightly, carving a line of happy smiles on her lips.

Nightfall.

'I love you, Shehan Murad.'

The memory of Jesslyn's love confession is ringing in Shehan's mind. Since this afternoon, the woman said it. However, it can still be heard clearly until now.

Shehan was silent, sitting daydreaming in the office chair at his home. One hand rests on the surface of the table, while the other hand shakes the pen tucked between the fingers.

Shehan was silent for a long time. Mute in the daydream. Until a knock on the door resuscitated Shehan again.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Excuse me, Mas. I brought hot coffee for Mas." A soft voice that slid from Lilis lips rang out from behind the door that was still closed.

"Come in!" sahut Shehan.

With her left hand Lilis pulled the door lever because her right hand was carrying a tray containing a glass of hot coffee. The girl came in. Shehan from behind his desk kept an eye on him. Look at Lilis from head to toe.

Since getting married and holding the status of Madam Murad, Lilis has indeed changed drastically. When he used to wear makeshift clothes, now he always looks fashionable wearing the clothes that Shehan bought for him.

And tonight, Lilis wrapped her body rannum with a white dress that is rather thin and a little laugh on the chest and thighs. The dress is simple in design, but has the impression of graceful, classy and quite sensual.

Plus Lilis's hair was broken. Natural makeup is also pinned on the face as a sweetener of the jelly aura. From the many explanations above, it can be concluded that Lilis must be graceful and beautiful in the view of Shehan tonight.

"This is the coffee, Mas" Lilis said after arriving in front of her husband.

"Let's just put it on the table! If it's a little warm, I'll drink it."

"Yes, Mum."

Lilis obeyed her husband's orders. Put a hot cup of coffee that he brought on the side of the table so as not to hit Shehan's work documents.

"Is there anything else you need?"

"No."

"In that case, I'll go out, ma'am."

He was about to leave for the exit, when Shehan called out to him.

"Reliss ...."

"I just want to tell you that I've asked people to find a good location in Banyuwangi. That's close to the city and not too far from Doni's college. It is now in negotiations with several landowners. If anyone's approved, I'll buy you a house soon."

Lilis turned away after hearing the happy news. His big smile came up later.

"Thank you, Mom. I'm gonna help me."

"Hhm ...." Shehan cleared his throat as he nodded briefly.

"Mas, is there anything else you want to say?"

Shehan was silent, observing Lilis for a moment. "Yes, there's."

"What is that, Mom?"

Shehan's right hand pulled the top drawer of his desk, pulled something out of it. From his standing position, Lilis could tell that what Shehan took out was a box-shaped object made of wood. The wood was beautifully carved and glossy painted anyway, but still retained its original color. Highlight Lilis eyes did not turn away from that thing.

Shehan looked at the box for a moment. "This is for you." Then he thrust it on Lilis.

"U-for me?" Instantly Lilis gasped.

"Yes, this is for you. Take it!"

Lilis slowly extended her hand as she was still doubtful of Shehan's actions. Eventually, it changed hands too. Lilis flipped the top and bottom sides.

"What is this, Mom?" His forehead wiggling.

"Gift for you."

"Ha-diah for me?"

"Yes, the wedding gift I gave you personally."

Lilis looked back at the wooden box she had in her hand. 'Mr Murad gave me a present? It's not usually Mr. Murad like this.'

"You can open it when you're in the room."

"Yes, Mas. Thanks for the gift. I'm so disinclined because there's nothing to give."

"It's okay. You are my wife. It's the duty of a husband to give a gift to his wife."

Lilis was astonished to hear Shehan's words just now. Usually the guy would talk, but tonight was amazing. Not only is intonation subtle, but the series of sentences that Shehan says also nourishes the heart.

'Mr Murad, why is this so good? Is he possessed by a ghost again? Er, wrong! Is he possessed by an angel tonight?'

"One more time, thank you, ma'am."

Lilis smiled sweetly, despite being flat-faced, at least Shehan returned Lilis' smile with the softness of her eyes.

"I'm saying yes, Mom?"

"Hhm ...."

And what gift did Shehan give to Lilis?

After returning the tray to the kitchen, Lilis rushed into the room. It was there that he dared to open a gift from Shehan. Lilis was made amazed after seeing the contents. A hairpin with a sprinkling of gems. The reflection of light from the ceiling of the room further beautifies the hairpin. Looks shiny and stunning.

'Thank you, Mr. Murad. This gift is great. In return, I will also prepare a gift for Master later.'

Lilis stared in amazement at the hairpin she was still holding.
