My Husband's Love Is Not For Me
05. Feeling betrayed

Nathan saw Oddie from top to bottom. Make sure it looks appropriate to show to the grandfather. This is the magic of makeup, the scar on Oddie's face is perfectly covered by makeup that polishes his entire face. His eyes also look perfect, Nathan is sure no one will be aware that the eye is experiencing a decline in function.

"Sadly, the leg was limping. Otherwise, perhaps he would appear to amaze and bewitch everyone!" inner Nathan.

Oops! Nathan pinched his forehead for a moment. What did he say, did he just praise Oddie and spare his deformed legs?

"Sir Nathan, what's wrong? Are you not satisfied with her makeup and dress?" asked the boutique owner after seeing Nathan kneeling his forehead and thinking hard.

"Oh, no. I'm satisfied!" replied Nathan.

Nathan took out his card immediately. Pay the bills as soon as possible because they are already really late.

"Come, we're too late!" said Nathan.

The two human children left the boutique driving a car driven by Maman. Maman smiles when he sees Oddie who finally has a decent shirt. Despite having no family ties, Maman somehow feels happy.

"Non Oddie, go ahead and do it like that. Let Den Nathan open his eyes and see that Kirana is nothing compared to Non Oddie, "the inner Maman is anxious.

"Die, how many times do I have to say we're too late. Can it go faster?" ask Nathan. The man reached the end of the stairs. Oddie was far behind him.

"Sorry!" answer Oddie.

Oddie hastened his pace. Although Maman helped, but it did not satisfy a Dean Nathan. Before Nathan was angry again, Maman finally ventured to make a sound.

"Den, why aren't we just carrying it faster?" maman's Advice.

"Why should I carry her?" ask Nathan. Still standing expressionlessly while putting one hand in his pants pocket.

"Because Non Oddie is Den Nathan's wife. Or if I may let me just carry it up. I'm sorry to see it, Den!" maman replied, offering himself.

Oddie who heard that glared. Why is Maman so rude. If Nathan gets angry, they'll get hit later. "No need, I can walk on my own. Dean, you go first" Oddie said.

Oddie immediately continued his delayed steps still assisted by Maman. The beautiful face looked back to look at the road. While Nathan who was still standing up there began to tighten his teeth because he wanted to swallow Maman alive because he had spoken sassy. Maman's holding Oddie? He's just a driver. Who gave him the confidence to say such a thing before him?

"Man, you get on and get the wheelchair ready!" nathan's orders.

I don't know when Nathan's down. But the man was already standing right in front of Oddie and Maman.

"Den, t-but what if Non Oddie falls?" maman asked as he gulped his saliva roughly.

"Aren't you the one who told me to carry her? Next time you dare to rule me again, you'd rather die!" replied Nathan.

Without wasting any time, Nathan instantly lifted Oddie in his arms. His footsteps steadily climbed the steps of the stairs as if they were not carrying a load. While Maman can only pat his eel and swoop in, "Den Nathan is the boss. If I refuse to carry Non Oddie, I do not dare to be angry. But why should I swear I'm all dead?"

Arriving up there, all eyes led to the entrance. Apparently, the scene of the sling was enough to grab the attention of Nathan's extended family. Including Kirana who is burning jealous because Nathan treats Oddie as sweet as that. Nathan, who regained consciousness, dropped Oddie off and told him to sit in a wheelchair and return to his usual nonchalance.

"How are you, Grandpa? How are you, Dad?" greet Oddie.

I hesitated when I mentioned their names to my grandfather and father. But Oddie dismissed his doubts. Oddie wanted to get up from his wheelchair to show his modesty, but Grandpa Moeis and Papa Erlangga forbade him first.

"No need to stand up. Just sit!" said Grandpa Moeis with a fluffy smile.

"Thank you" Oddie blushed.

"Whose name?" ask Papa Erlangga.

"I'm Oddie" Oddie replied with a faint smile.

"What a pretty name. Just as beautiful as your face. It is fitting that Nathan still wants to marry you even though our extended family disagrees a lot" said Moeis' grandfather, Papa Erlangga.

That sentence made Oddie's heart beat. His arrival was not welcomed here. Of the many members of the family, only Grandpa and his father-in-law were willing to welcome Oddie. Maybe because Oddie is just the son of a corruptor who is disabled in their big company.

After thinking for a moment, Oddie finally forced himself to get up and lowered his head as deeply as he could. This opportunity is very rare, so why not apologize for representing her parents?

"Grandfather, Father, please forgive Oddie's parents' mistake. I'm sorry that they betrayed the trust that my grandfather and father gave me."

That sincere apology touched the hearts of both. They were indeed angry and disappointed, but Oddie's parents had received his sentence so there was still a reason to hate Oddie who knew nothing?

Unfortunately not all family members are big-hearted like Grandpa Moeis and Papa Erlangga. Even Nathan who was currently standing next to Oddie was so sick of hearing Oddie apologize. "Do you think it's enough just to apologize, Die? My grandfather and father might forgive you. But I don't" Nathan's inner self then threw away his face.

"Oh, we have forgiven him. Come on!" take Grandpa Moeis.

Eventually they joined the others. Start dinner before spending time relaxing.

In a crowded place Oddie was alone and ostracized. Especially when Grandpa Moeis and Papa Erlangga brought Nathan and all the men up because there was business. Oddie was even told to help the maid work in the super luxurious house. His limping path was not free to be their laughingstock. Very different from Kirana who is very accepted and treated like a real daughter-in-law and get thousands of compliments, especially from Mama Maureen.

Right now Kirana is having fun with Mama Maureen. But when he saw Oddie walking not far from the pool, he immediately approached him. "Oops, my handkerchief fell. Can you get it for me, Die?" Kirana.

Oddie who was holding the tray just saw Kirana. Oddie planned to refuse but his mother-in-law asked him to take the handkerchief immediately. "Are you deaf. Why are you still standing there?" snapped Mama Maureen.

Oddie. He immediately put down his tray and took Kirana's handkerchief. But something Oddie didn't think happened. While Oddie tries hard to keep his balance to stand up, Kirana has pushed Oddie first, making Oddie fall into the pool.

BRYANS

"Please, I can't swim!" shouted Oddie but only greeted with a look of cynicism and disgust by those present.

Meanwhile up there the male family members look down including Nathan. Nathan's face was even red so angry.

"Why stay still, hurry up and help Oddie!" tell Erlangga's father when he sees Nathan is slow to react.

Nathan soon descended to the bottom despite being late because Oddie had already been helped by several bodyguards who acted immediately. Honestly, Nathan was ashamed to be half-dead, but he still had to be kind to Oddie in front of his grandfather.

"Come with me now!" nathan said after covering Oddie's soaked body with his suit.
