The Cold Wife
Chapter 20

The early morning dust washed away everything he touched. Clear details of diamond tub gems adorn each gently swaying leaf. The sky still looks dark. The fair-skinned beautiful girl walked gracefully towards the main mansion. No matter how cold the morning air was, it continued to pass without hesitation.

"Morning, Madam." Greet one of the guards who happened to pass through the back door.

"Hey, I'm not your mistress. Didn't you see my clothes? I'm a waiter," tepis the girl. The guard slightly lowered his head without daring to answer. Sweet who saw that instantly passed away.

"Sweet wait!" yelling Mala a little run over to Sweet.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You're cured?" mala asked touching Sweet's forehead. "I'm worried, Doctor Ansel said you're very sick."

Sweet who heard that was suddenly confused. "Doctor Ansel? I'm fine, you see for yourself, don't you?"

"Yes, you look better. I was really worried when I heard you couldn't be bothered."

"You are, never mind. I have to go to the kitchen, my job is waiting" Sweet said. "You wanna come?"

"No, I had a need this morning. Spirit, you won a great wife. In an instant able to conquer Dad's stiff tongue," Mala said in a slightly whispered tone.

"Don't just talk," objected Sweet who immediately left Mala. The short-haired woman smiled widely. "I hope you'll hold on until I'm really in love with you. You're a cold girl on the outside, but full of warmth on the inside, I know that."

"Are you crazy? Talk alone, Mala?" exclaiming someone who managed to make Mala aghast.

"No, Dad. I was in acting practice, "his alibi. Alex who heard that raised next to his thick eyebrows.

"Dad, I have to leave immediately" continued Mala who immediately kissed the back of Alex's hand, and passed away.

"Ck, all women are very difficult to guess," Alex muttered moving towards the kitchen. He intended to grab some drinks, as the stock in his private room was up.

Alex held back his steps when he saw Sweet struggling to pick up the ingredients in the cabinet. Its height is only one hundred and fifty inches, making it difficult to reach the contents in the closet.

Sweet seemed to sigh heavily a few times, then he pulled out a chair, and lifted his light body to climb up the chair. Alex kept an eye on his little wife's movements. Luckily he stopped the cooks for a while. So no one saw himself stealing glances.

"Ah, finally it can too," complains Sweet while hugging a box containing chocolate bars. But unfortunately, his legs slipped, so he lost balance and fell. Sweet grimaced in pain as his butt first kissed the floor. A smile rises with Alex's thin lips. The incident succeeded in beating his heart.

Alex moved closer to Sweet as if he had not seen the incident. "Are your feet no longer able to hold your little body?"

Sweet was quite surprised to see Alex coming. He immediately woke up, even though his mouth let out a sigh because it held back the pain.

"Is there anything I need to help you with?" ask Sweet to tidy up his clothes.

"I never needed your help" Alex said as he approached the fridge.

Sweet who heard that only raised both of his shoulders. Then he resumed his work.

"Oh yeah, what are you going to eat this afternoon?" ask Sweet to Alex. The man immediately looked over.

"Anything, just don't poison" Alex said.

"Sure, if I kill you now. I'll be a widow" Sweet said without hesitation. Alex who heard that was shocked opened the clutter.

"So you're planning to kill me?" exclaiming Alex pulled Sweet's arm roughly.

"Ck, don't touch me. I'm still sane" Sweet said, shaking Alex's hand. "There's nothing in it for me."

Alex pulled back Sweet's arm, and locked those brown eyes with a sharp look. "What if I kill you?"

"I'm not afraid, because I have God. Which is always there for me" Sweet replied calmly. Alex could not speak anymore. The girl always had the answer.

"Honored Mr. Digan, put your hands away, because you hurt me" Sweet ordered without hesitation.

"You-" Alex hangs up her words as Sweet pushes her away.

"I hope you can respect my decision, I won't mix with you before this marriage is perfectly legal, not just a wedding on paper" Sweet said. Alex who heard that was instantly enraged.

"You're thinking quite excessively, Miss Ana. I would never touch your dirty body. I told you, I don't like other people's old stuff" Alex replied with emphasis.

"Well, from now on don't ever touch me even a single hair. Otherwise, your allergies will recur, won't they?" sweet smiled faintly as he looked at the red hue on Alex's face. Sweet knew, right now the man was holding back anger.

"I'm at work, sir. Don't bother me, otherwise you won't get breakfast this morning." Sweet is back with some kitchen stuff. Ignoring Alex who was about to vent his anger.

"You-" he said Alex was cut back when someone called his name.

"Sister Alex." Shouts someone walked quickly closer to Alex. The red-haired girl immediately splashed in Alex's arms. He is Alex's distant cousin who has long settled in London.

"I miss you, brother. I was shocked when I heard that you were engaged to that ugly woman." Said Cherry heard by Sweet. "Aren't you committed to not getting married, sister?"

"Yes, I had to." Alex said, his eyes twitching to see his wife's reaction. But the girl did not react at all.

"You know, that girl's no good to you. I can judge if the woman has bad intentions. Maybe he wants our family treasure, brother." Cherry explained everything with passion. He did not realize that the woman he was talking about was next to him.

"You're right, he's not good" Alex said thinly.

Sweet who heard all of that chose to be quiet, he did not want to argue anymore.

"Wait on! Why is the kitchen so quiet? Where are those good cooks?" asked Cherry was surprised to see the kitchen that is not usually quiet.

"I let them rest, because there is a new servant to be taught. Don't let him be as he pleases and eat a blind paycheck" Alex replied as he glanced at Sweet's back. Cherry looked at Sweet's back.

Since when in the mansion was there such a rule? cherry in the heart.

"Hey, did you hear me?" exclaim Cherry touched Sweet's shoulder. He was very curious about the new waiter Alex was referring to. Sweet's back moved slightly to brush off Cherry's hand that was now on her shoulder.

"Here you go, you better get some rest." Alex's orders on Cherry. The woman immediately collapsed, and they rushed out of the kitchen.

"Servant, eating blind paychecks? He thinks I want to do all this? Just get my hands dirty, you son of a bitch!" swear Sweet while stirring the rough cake batter that he will make.

"Son, since when are there new rules?" ask Cherry with the figure of the new waiter.

"Since this second, don't ever bother him, let him work quietly." Reply Alex passed away. Cherry is increasingly curious about Alex's changing attitude.

"Cherry, get in your room!" Alex exclaims when Cherry wants to go back to the kitchen. The woman uncovers her intentions, as she fears Alex will be truly upset.

Ok, I'll see that woman's face at breakfast. Cherry said in her heart. He rushed to his room with excitement.

Alex moved closer to the window facing the back garden. "Get out at midnight? Is that your custom, Ana?" alex muttered as he recalled the incident last night.

Sweet was still struggling with cooking utensils in the kitchen. He felt overwhelmed because of so many menus Alex gave. "He wanted to prank me again on purpose."

Sweet stuffed the cake batter into the electric oven lazily. If he could, he wanted to run as far away as possible. But he again remembered the return of gratitude to the Santonio family. If he were to leave, the family would be torn to pieces. He didn't want it to happen, however he still loved them.

When breakfast arrived, Sweet skillfully arranged various types of food on the table.

"Sweet, let me help you" Milan said, taking the plate from Sweet's hand. "Thank you" Sweet said. He went back to the kitchen to make coffee.

"Waw, why are there so many heavy meals this morning? Did the new service make a mistake?" ask Cherry while pulling up a chair and sitting there. He examined the entire dish on the table.

"I'd be fat if I had breakfast like this" Cherry said. His hand moved to pick up the biscuits.

"There is no need for breakfast, because that will consume all this he," said Alex who had just arrived. His hand pointed towards Sweet who had just come out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee. The girl looked confused.

"I don't want him to trouble anyone else anymore" Alex said.

"Wait on! Have we met?" tanya Cherry examined Sweet's tired-looking face. As usual, her hair was half-broken. But the girl still looked beautiful.

"No," Alex answered quickly. "He's the new waiter here."

"Owh," Cherry keeps a close eye on Sweet serving Alex.

"You... You're the girl on tv, right? My brother's fiancee?" exclaimed Cherry immediately woke up to her seat because she had remembered the face of her brother's fiance.

"Sit down, Cherry" Alex said.

"Hey, how can you be a lowly servant? Is this your trick to get my brother's attention? Hey, answer me!" cherry's snapping pushed Sweet roughly. Alex who saw it immediately held Sweet down so as not to fall. Cherry does have a height that is almost the same as Alex, her body that is so similar to a model. So it could easily push Sweet's tiny body.

"Cherry, I order you to sit down!" alex exclaimed a sharp look at Cherry. The woman sat back in place, while Sweet immediately brushed aside Alex's hand that touched her waist.

"Hey, watch your attitude!" take Cherry again when you see Sweet's attitude towards Alex. Sweet who heard it moved to leave. Alex quickly held him back.

"Serve me, don't forget your duty" Alex said.

"I know, let go of my hand. I just went to get mineral water" Sweet said. Alex let go of his hand.

Breakfast this morning was full of tension. Every second Cherry keeps glancing at Sweet and Alex at the same time. Sweet realized that, but he chose to be quiet.

"Sweet, sit. You're still sick, but you're still working hard to prepare breakfast. Eat, you haven't had breakfast, have you?" milan breaks the tension. Sweet was about to refuse, with Alex quickly gesturing for Sweet to follow Milan's orders.

What is their relationship really? It's not like a newly engaged couple. Cherry grumbled in the heart. He took the biscuit for the second time. Stare at the girl sitting in front of him.
