The Cold Wife
Chapter 76

"What about yesterday's meeting?" Alex asked Johs when they were in his study.

"Master, the directors are asking you to step down as soon as possible. They keep complaining because of the stock drop that soared drastically." Joshua looked at Alex's back.

"So they're so ambitious to take me down?" Alex asked with a big smile.

Josh shivered in horror when he saw that smile, he understood the meaning of his Master's gaze.

"Do a repeat meeting tomorrow, I want to see their wide mouths when facing me." Alex's orders are full of grin.

"Okay sir, I'll arrange a meeting for tomorrow. Sorry sir, tonight one of the investors from America invited you to dinner." Josh said politely.

"Accept that invitation, it's not good to refuse others' good intentions." Alex answered casually. "Ah yes, Josh. Set back the job for my wife. He'll rejoin us."

"By pleasure, sir." Josh replied with a sincere smile. The two then went back to discussing work.

After Josh and Grace's return. Sweet took her three children to the room. Then he went to Alex's room, ah rather their room.

Sweet Twist the door handle with doubt. He also felt his heart tremor getting louder. Four years later, he left the room. Room full of memories.

The woman pecked when she saw the condition of the room that was still the same as four years ago. Unknowingly his tears were dripping, honestly he missed this atmosphere.

Ah, I miss everything here. Inner Sweet. Slowly his feet began to step in. Look out for a king size bed full of memories. Then he also walked towards the walk in closet, there is also still the same. Even her clothes were still neatly arranged. Sweet's cry grew more and more, as feeling guilty had already left the man. But that's not entirely Sweet's fault. It was a misunderstanding that separated their love.

Sweet's chest felt so tight and he decided to get out of it. And how surprised he was when he got Alex already standing behind him. Sweet quickly wiped his tears.

"Why crying?" Alex asked the grunt and removed the distance between them.

Sweet shook his head slowly, "just miss the atmosphere of the house."

Alex smiles. Wiping away the traces of tears that were still left on his wife's face. "These tears should only come out when you are happy, not for others."

Sweet chuckled at her husband's words. "What if I cry because I have pain?"

"I won't let you be in pain again, Ana. I promise," said Alex put on a sad face. Then he kissed his wife so deeply.

"That's not what I mean, Mom. What if I get pregnant again and I have pain again, you won't know what it's like." Sweet puckered his lips.

Alex looked at his beautiful wife so deeply. "Then I don't need to get pregnant anymore, I don't want you to get sick."

Sweet frowned, then smiled widely. Without hesitation he wrapped his hands around Alex's waist.

"Say you want ten children?" Sweet asked who then buried his face in Alex's chest.

"If it hurts you, those three dwarves are enough for us." Answer Alex. He gives a friendly kiss on the head of his wife.

"Birth is painful, Mom. But the pain has its own pleasure for a mother. I want to have another child" Sweet said. She looked up to see her husband's face.

"Then we have to be diligent in making it," said Alex who managed to get a pinch on his stomach.

"Ck, that's what you want, right? Basic pervert," Sweet ledek.

"But you like it, right?" Alex asked who managed to create a red hue on Sweet's cheeks.

"Ah ah, I'm tired of taking a break." Sweet was about to leave before Alex kept him in his shoes.

"Tonight we get an invitation to dinner, you have to come." Said Alex.

"Kids coming?"

"No, it's enough for both of us. It's a formal invitation" Alex replied. Sweet nodded in understanding.

Evening came, Sweet was ready with a black dress combined with a pastel hijab. Likewise with Alex, the man looks handsome with a black tuxedo that wraps his athletic body.

"Are you ready?" Alex asked to watch Sweet tidying up his hijab. The woman looks charming and seductive.

"Here you go" replied Sweet back to her husband. He smiled so sweetly and again fascinated Alex. Alex clasped Sweet's hands possessively.

Then Alex put a scarf and jacket on his wife's slender body. He does not want his heart to be cold.

"You're so pretty, I hesitated to take you out. What if a lot of eyes enjoy your beauty?" Said Alex making Sweet giggle amused.

"Keep you want my brackets to go on?" Sweet's question was not out of thought with her husband's mindset.

"I'm kidding, honey. Come on, they're waiting for us." Ask Alex to take Sweet out of his room. They hurried to leave the mansion. Tonight Alex drives his black lamborghini. And the luxury car splits the city of Berlin.

"Good night, Mr. Digans." An old man greeted Alex and his wife. The man extended his hand politely.

"Night, Mr. Andrew. This is my wife, Sweet Alexandra Digantara." Reply Alex while introducing his wife.

"Greetings, Mrs. Digans."

Was he not cold in that tiny outfit? Even I still feel cold with my clothes covered. I don't know, it's none of my business. Think Sweet.

"Sorry, Miss this is who you are Mr. Andrew? She's so pretty." Sweet put on his flat face. She is not the type of woman who can hide her dislike for someone. Even Alex and Mr. Andrew could see that.

"Ah, this is my daughter, Jessicha Gilson. Jessy, give your salute."

Jessy held out her hand to Alex. Sweet was shocked to see the woman's courage.

"Meet me Jessy, the Gilson family's second daughter. Harvard's best graduate, one year ago," Jessy explained in a haughty manner. Occasionally he also glanced at Sweet's appearance from head to toe.

Calmly, Sweet welcomed the woman's hand. Jessy was shocked and immediately smiled broadly. Covering up his disappointment. Because he really hopes to touch Alex.

"Sweet, Mrs Digantara and Mr.'s personal secretary. The middleman." Sweet flat Speak.

Alex felt the cold aura within his wife growing out. Even the fur bristles.

"Ah, we'd better continue with dinner." Get Alex to break the awkwardness. Then they agreed to his invitation. Alex helps Sweet to sit down. Then the dinner went well. Although Jessy occasionally keeps looking for Alex's attention. Even the woman deliberately showed her large cleavage. Sweet was careless, but he remained professional.

"Mrs. Digans. Do you need an assistant? I'm willing to be your assistant, I assure you all your work is under control. I know right now you need a brilliant idea for the continuity of the company. I'm pretty good at it." Jessy is still trying to get Alex's attention. Although the man was not at all interested in him nor on the topic he brought.

"My husband already has a personal assistant who is quite reliable and smart, three secretaries are beautiful, smart and also loyal. So there are no vacancies for now. Doesn't your Dad own a pretty influential company in Manhattan?why don't you work there?" Sweet throws an intimidating look at the woman.

The two men who were there cleared their throat when they realized the awkwardness created by the two women.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Digans. My daughter is very fond of your husband, because in our Country Mr. Digan is quite famous for his intelligence in running a business."

"Owh, really? I'm proud to have a famous husband like you, Mr. Digans." Said Sweet. Alex who heard that came back. Then swept his lips with a tisue.

"No, that's too much." Refute Alex.

"No, my father was right. You are very charming among other businessmen. I've attended your workhsop while sitting on the SHS bench. It was amazing" Jessy said with passion.

Alex smiled faintly hearing it. Occasionally glancing at his wife. "It's been a long time."

"Right, it's been a long time. But I still keep our photos at that time. Ah, if it could happen again." Jessy glanced at Sweet who was smiling wryly hearing her chatter. Actually Sweet did not respond at all to the woman's remark. It's just that he doesn't like the way Jessy talks that seems to challenge him.

"Mrs. Digans. I'm sorry about what happened to your company. Don't worry, our company will always support you. Our cooperation has been established for so long, I trust you." Said Mr. Andreas tries to divert his daughter's insignificant talk.

"Thank you, Mr. Andrew. I really appreciate your loyalty." Reply Alex sincerely.

After a long conversation, they returned to their homes. And along the way, Sweet didn't talk at all. Of course it made Alex feel astonished.

"Tell me what makes you shut up, huh?" Alex asked, breaking the silence.

Sweet who heard that only glanced at Alex at a glance, then looked back at the fairly crowded streets.

"When you shut up like this, I remember the night of our engagement. Ah, that can't be said engagement. Because it's just my game," Alex said trying to break the awkwardness.

"If you can be honest, that night you were very pretty and. flirting."

Alex's case caught Sweet's attention. The woman's eyes stared intently at her husband. But Alex did not care about that gaze and continued to babble.

"I'm not willing for others to see how smooth your back and neck are. Therefore I pulled your hair tie, and asked you to cover it." Alex continues.

Sweet did not respond at all to her husband's words.

"Now, you've shut yourself down. But I'm still not willing when others stare at your pretty face. I'm jealous" Alex said again.

Unknowingly, Sweet's tiny lips were attracted and formed a scythe. Alex's confession made his mood much better. Any woman would be flattered to hear such sweet words from the lips of a beloved man. Especially from her husband's mouth. It makes him float.

"Do you like that woman?" Ask Sweet back bad mood.

"Who?" Alex asked confusedly.

"Woman, she was so sexy and seductive." Answer Sweet ketus.

"really? Is she more seductive than you?"

"Mas, I'm serious." Sweet was getting upset because Alex was joking.

"I'm serious too. I don't know who the woman you're talking about, and you're angry? Come on, in my head there's only one woman, and that guy's sitting next to me right now."

Sweet clucked in annoyance at hearing that. However, Alex's words managed to silence his mouth.

Alex glanced at his wife and smiled widely. Then his hand moved to pull the tiny hand of the wife. Then hold it so tightly. "I love you, there's no other woman I can think of but you, Ana. I'm serious.As beautiful as any woman out there, won't be able to tease me. If I'm honest, we met from the beginning. You managed to fill my head," Alex's confession sounded heartfelt without making up. Her love for Sweet was so great. I don't know since that love's been growing more and more fertile. Alex didn't realize it. There is no reason to love someone.

Sweet gave a gentle look and returned Alex's hand. The jealousy that he had been feeling was gone. "I love you too, Mom."

Alex smiled happily to hear it. Then kiss the back of Sweet's hand so friendly. The actual journey is not far away, it feels so long because both are lulled in the beauty of the love they create.
