The Cold Wife
Season 3 (59)

Zhea has been pensive since that day's impromptu proposal. After that incident Zhea never visited there again. Even then, he left the Digantara residence without saying goodbye to Sweet or Sky. Zhea was really in shock and still couldn't believe Gabriel was doing that. That guy used to hate him so much.

The sound of knocking on the door managed to disperse the girl's daydream.

"Lake in." Legally. Not long after the assistant came in.

"Miss, there's Mr. Gabriel ahead."

Of course Zhea was shocked and immediately woke up from her position. "Gabriel?"

His assistant named Ge nodded.

Zhea took a deep breath, then threw it away slowly. Then he looked back at Ge. "Let him in."

"Good, Miss." The woman rushed out as well.

After all, Zhea panicked herself and became misbehaved. He also pretended to draw. However, he was nervous because he had just met the man again after what happened. After that, they never saw each other again. Even Gabriel wasn't looking for him. And it made Zhea think that Gabriel was just messing around. What is the purpose of this man coming now?

Not long after Gabriel entered, the man smiled when he saw Zhea was so serious. I don't know how nervous the girl is.

Zhea looked at it. "Sit down." Declared.

Gabriel sat down in front of him.

"What do you need?" Zhea asked without seeing her interlocutor. As if he is busy with his job right now.

Gabriel did not immediately reply. And it made Zhea even more nervous because of the man's gaze that seemed to intimidate her. Even he did not dare to even just glance at it.

"Until when will you keep avoiding me?" Gabriel finally opened his voice. Spontaneous Zhea raised her eyes. Biting the tip of his lips. Without him realizing what he was doing it made Gabriel growl because the girl looked sexy when biting lips like that.

"I can't marry you." Zhea answered with a soft word.

"Why?" Gabriel asked casually and with a look that could not be separated from him.

Zhea gave a rough sigh, then gave a serious look. "Because you had to marry me, Gabriel. I can't marry a man who doesn't love me."

"What if I tell you right now, that I love you, Zhea?"

Zhea gasped for a moment. "You're kidding Gabriel. Don't play with my feelings." Resenting.

Gabriel smiled. "So you still like me?"

At once Zhea was aware of what she said just now. She bit her lips again in shame. Gabriel who saw the hue of Zhea's face was even more convinced that the girl still had feelings for him. And his funny expression made Gabriel anxious himself. If it wasn't Zhea, he'd have pounced on her first. Unfortunately, Zhea is not the same as the woman she once dated. Which he can play at will. This time he was faced with a holy girl who could not be played with at will.

"Zhea." His successful calling made the girl stunned.

"Yes?" Zhea was nervous.

"You have already determined the answer?" Gabriel asked who managed to leave Zhea confused. "I've given you a few days, Zhe. So now I need your answer."

Zhea's eyes blinked a few times. He never thought that was the reason Gabriel hadn't been looking for him all this time. He thought the man was just messing with his words.

"Why silence? You still think I was kidding about that yesterday?" Imbuh Gabriel looked at the girl in front of him seriously.

Zhea stared at Gabriel. "A. I don't know." Nervous answer.

Gabriel sighed. "Married to me, Zhe. This time I was really sincere, I didn't have any more time to mess around. I want to marry you and live a life like any other couple." Strictly without hesitation.

"I know you're in doubt, so I came here to convince you. I also know, it might not feel right for a man as bad as myself to be with a good girl like you."

Zhea. "I'm not that good, Gab. You misjudged me."

Gabriel smiled. "Where does a good man claim to be good, Zhe."

Zhea looked at Gabriel seriously this time. "I'm serious, Gab. I'm not the nice girl everyone thinks I am. I used to be naughty, even more naughty than you. Before you are sure of your decision. I'll give you one secret that might make me take a unanimous decision."

Gabriel looked at the girl confused.

Zhea let out a rough sigh. Then get back to talking. "Do you know the cause of my relationship with my parents?"

Gabriel shook his head because he never knew about it.

Zhea's eyes glazed over. "The guy everyone thinks is my dad, he's not my real dad, Gab. He's my stepfather. And. he was also the first to take away my chastity."

The deg!

Gabriel's heart seemed to be falling off hearing it. He never thought that the girl before him had experienced such a bad thing.

"I.. I know you're disappointed, right? I'm not the holy girl you think I am. So now all the decisions are in your hands." Zhea leaned her body with both hands folded on her chest. His heart ached again because of the old wound he had to match again. Maybe it's been a long time. But the wound had not actually healed.

At the time, Zhea was still in high school. It never occurred to him if the stepfather whom he had admired and was proud to do all that to him. Even the Mommy couldn't believe it when she complained about it. As a result, Zhea and the Mommy had a big fight and even drove Zhea out. Also says if Zhea son does not know the return of the favor.

Zhea's life has been shattered since then and she has no direction. The girl also has to work part-time just to make ends meet. In fact, he also had time to sell himself because he was so frustrated with his chaotic living conditions. Until he meets Sweet and Sky. His life has also changed drastically. Zhea changed all her bad habits to something more positive. Also continued his study to foreign countries with Sweet's support of course. After a long education. Zhea returns to Berlin to meet her adoptive parents Sky and Sweet. Until he was found with Gabriel. She fell in love at first sight with the man.

Gabriel smiled faintly. He was probably surprised by the girl's confession. But he was not disappointed at all. Instead, he laughed in his heart because he remembered the words of the Grandma. If the soul is a reflection of themselves.

"You know what, Zhe?"

Zhea looked at him. "What?"

"With your confession, I'm more and more convinced of my decision." Gabriel smiled, making Zhea even more confused. "Marry me, I don't care about your past and who you are. Aren't we in series now?"

Zhea looked at Gabriel softly. "Gab, I...."

Gabriel interrupted the girl's words. "You also know I'm not a good man, Zhe. But I believe, only with you can I be a better person. My little heart is sure of that. I believe you're the only woman who can change my life. Help me to give up all my life now, Zhe." Gabriel gave a hopeful look.

Zhea is confused now. He has no answer for now. "Sir, you better think about your decision. Maybe you can find a much better woman than me."

Gabriel smiled amusedly. "Where can I get a woman as good as you, huh? You're still thinking about my future, even though you need it."

Zhea hugged herself while looking down. What Gabriel said was indeed light. He wanted the man, but did not want to force him if Gabriel refused.

Gabriel took a long breath. "Okay, maybe I'll give you some time. Two days, is that enough? Don't make me wait too long, baby. Because I can't stand wanting to taste you right away."

Hearing that Zhea immediately raised a thick murderous gaze. "Basic jerk!"

Gabriel laughed in satisfaction at successfully teasing the girl. "Okay, I'll be back in two days. I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me, Baby. See you next time. Nice to meet you."

After that Gabriel immediately left Zhea's room.

After Gabriel, Zhea smiled. "How can I refuse you, Gab? You're my first love. I hope you really love me."
