There was no more noise in the car, both husband and wife were silent again, and there was only silence on the way to the big house.
Dimas stopped the car as the gate opened, then drove the car inside.
Arsean immediately looked at his wife, or to be more precise, at the wife he did not see.
"You remember your duty, right? So act as if everything is fine and don't seek attention from mom or dad." Arsean said coldly.
Zhie just smiled and nodded. "Yes, my husband."
Arsean smiled very weakly before getting out of the car, not knowing what that weak smile meant.
Then the two went inside, with Arsean hugging his wife's waist very tightly.
Even if it was just an act, it certainly made Zhie very happy, even if her heart was pounding. If only time could be stopped for a moment, Zhie wanted to be like this for a long time, feeling the warmth and affection of her husband, even if it was only a pretense, but it was able to make her feel a moment of pleasure.
For a moment, Zhie stared at her husband's handsome face, which reluctantly looked forward.
If this wasn't acting, I would be the happiest woman alive, living with the man I love, especially if Sean's brother has changed. I'm ready to die for him as long as he loves me back. Zhie, who was silently talking to herself, smiled shyly. Tell me, is this woman a slave of love to the point that she is willing to do anything, even if the reality she gets is only pain?
"Young master, young madam. The grand lord and lady are waiting for you in the dining room," one of the servants informed them immediately.
Zhie took off her husband's coat and handed it to the servant, "We'll be right there.
Arsean and Zhie immediately went to the dining room together, there was a couple sitting at the dining table, then a middle-aged woman smiled and stood up to approach them.
"Wow, mom's kids are here, let's eat first. Hi, baby, how are you?" Invite this woman and then ask the son-in-law.
"Hello, Mom, Zhie is fine, Mom, Mom herself? Mom, I'm sorry Zhie didn't bring anything. Brother Sean is too sudden to tell Zhie," this woman said while hugging her mother-in-law.
"Mom is fine too. Why is my daughter-in-law always spoiling me and taking care of me, just coming here is enough, but you haven't been here for a long time. I wanted to see if there's a problem between you, you've become so intimate now". Tesya laughed happily.
Now it was Arsean's turn to kiss his mother's forehead and then whisper, "We're even happier to forget about mom," teased this man, who immediately received a gift from his mother.
"You little brat, Sean! Not you or your father, you men are so annoying." Tesya, who immediately hit Arsean.
"Mom, why are you so sensitive?" Arsean, who dodged while giggling.
"Good night dad." Arsean and Zhie greeted each other as they approached the dining table.
"Good night to you too." The middle-aged man replied.
Arsean pulled out a chair for his wife. "Thank you, husband." Said Zhie, who must have been glad to be noticed.
"You're welcome, sit down and eat well," Arsean said as he ruffled her hair, then sat down next to her.
Tesya continued to look happily at her son and daughter-in-law, it was clear they were making progress. Of course, when she first talked about arranged marriages, her son always protested against them.
Zhie fetches vegetables and food for her husband, and occasionally Arsean smiles sweetly while stroking the top of Zhie's head.
This night was so romantic and beautiful that Zhie was completely absorbed in her acting. Zhie denies for a moment that this isn't acting, because she does it sincerely.
Unlike her husband, who is probably cursing inwardly. Arsean, of course, is only acting to keep his position in the company. The last time she fought with her parents, the company was almost shaken and her position was very threatened, not to mention the threat of her mother and father being dangerous.
"Zhie dear, how's work going?" Tesya asked her son-in-law.
"The same, mom," Zhie replied briefly.
"Forgive your mother, Zhie, but now you can continue your education, you can study fashion again. Your expertise is not in your husband's business. I'm pushing you too hard, Zhie." A look of regret crossed Tesya's face.
In the past, it was Tesya who came up with the idea of sending Zhie to work at the company so that Zhie and Arsean could be more intimate, but there has been a change, and now their closeness is clearly visible.
Honestly, Tesya continued to spy on her son despite all the behavior of her son and the woman who was still approaching her son.
Even though Arsean had directly admitted that his wife would be Mrs. Adinata forever, Tesya still had to be careful with a woman who continued to approach her son.
Tesya knew that if the women who approached the son only looked at the treasure, then the woman who approached Arsean now would do the same. But Tesya made sure that she would never get the status of a legal wife except for Arzhie, but she did not know if someone instigated her son.
Here, too, Tesya does not arbitrarily match Arzhie with her son, she knows very well what is good for her son.
Arzhie Diandra is the only daughter of the Wilson family, they were a respected family at that time, intelligence and intelligence were also clearly recorded since childhood. A beautiful face, a good personality and a polite and friendly manner, not to mention never looking at materials.
Only such a woman would be able to bulldoze her stubborn, assertive, cunning and ignorant son.
But unfortunately, Zhie has only one flaw. She lacks cunning and assertiveness. Her soul is easily touched and shaken, especially since Zhie is not a pleasant person.
The meal was over, and it would be very memorable for Zhie, because Arsean was very romantic, as he occasionally fed her with warm, loving looks. Now it was time for the interview.
Zhie looked at her in-laws and her husband in turn, to be honest, Zhie was also very depressed about working in a company that was not her field.
Luckily, she had the intelligence and speed to learn, so all the projects she handled were always successful and won the bid, although there were a few mistakes that could be excused, but for Arsean, it was fatal.
"Mom ... Dad, can Zhie go back to studying fashion?" Zhie asked in confirmation.
Tesya immediately nodded slowly. "You just choose the university, whether it's outside or inside the country, it doesn't matter, dear. I'll take care of all the fees and administration myself, no need to bother your husband."
"Oh my, Mom, why did Sean get hit again? Mom, how could Sean be bothered?" the man said.
Of course, it was never a problem because Zhie never asked for anything during the marriage, including monthly money, unlike other women who always asked for luxury items.
Tesya rolled his eyes lazily. "Trouble? Then I'll ask, how much is your wife's monthly allowance? And what card did you give Zhie? And how much was deducted from her salary for a trivial matter?" Tesya asked firmly.
Zhie immediately stiffened, while Arsean immediately looked at Zhie sharply. Zhie shook his head, indicating that if he didn't complain about anything, Zhie was sure that Arsean would be angry with him afterwards.
"Oh, so my wife complained to you again, Ma? Ask Mom's favorite son-in-law, did he ever ask me? For the salary issue, ask Bianca, if Zhie's salary was cut, it means he did something wrong, Ma. How can Sean take care of everything like this, Sean is very busy, Ma."
"Mom, I-" she tried to defend her husband, but Tesya interrupted Zhie first.
"What need does your wife have to complain to Mom? Just spoil that woman and see how she'll destroy you later! How dare she cut my daughter-in-law's salary, and you have the nerve to tell that woman to withhold a worker's salary? Come to your senses from that woman and think about your wife to get pregnant soon after my grandson is born. Whether you remarry or not, I don't care, Sean! Yes, even if you remarry a woman of your choice, I don't care, because all the inheritance will go to my grandson and my daughter-in-law, Zhie," Tesya said angrily. Tesya said angrily.
Arsean looked down with clenched fists, his emotions were already inflamed, but he had to suppress them.
As for Zhie, the girl was scared and spoke up immediately so that Arsean wouldn't get angry with her later.
"Mom and Dad don't have to worry, just take care of your health, and Mom doesn't get too emotional like this, let Zhie take care of it herself, Mom." Zhie gave her mother-in-law the silent treatment.
All the time, only Tesya spoke, while her husband just listened, because when it was like that, the big Mrs. Adinata could not be resisted.
Sensing that all was not well, the middle-aged man immediately took his wife to his room.
"Honey, let's just rest." Invited by Papa Sean, Tesya finally complied, for a long time staring at her stubborn son made her emotions come out again and again.
"I'm tired, you stay here. We will discuss it again tomorrow," the middle-aged woman said, getting up and leaving with her husband to rest.
Arsean also stood up, but before he took a step, this man looked at Zhie coldly. "Are you satisfied with making Mother angry with me? I never knew that your heart was so rotten! You are the definition of a snake woman! You already got paid for your marriage, and now you want to take all the inheritance with a child?! Is that what you meant by your question in the car? Remember, Zhie, even if you become my wife for life. Don't expect to get my love, because it's highly IMPOSSIBLE!" Arsean snapped and left.
Zhie just looked down until she squeezed the hem of her shirt, tears soon streaming from her eyes. "I haven't done anything, especially when it comes to complaining... hiks... hiks... why is it always me who is wrong in brother Sean's eyes? Even I'm always blamed for other people's mistakes... hiks... hiks... I don't have anyone to rely on right now... hiks... hiks..."
Zhie, who could only cry a little, stifled the tightness in her chest until a hug on her shoulder made her realize, "Young lady, I'm sorry to be presumptuous, but I beg you to change to be even stronger and not so weak. You can definitely overcome this, believe in Mrs. Tesya. You know, Mrs. Tesya will make you worthy of the young master, so you must listen to her from now on. No matter how big the obstacle is, it can be overcome, but if it goes too far, you must love yourself, too, Mrs. Zhie." Zhie, who was still crying, hugged Arsean's maid and nanny from childhood, at least she could shed her tears in someone's arms.
