My Supermodel Wife

In the parking lot, Lilia followed Jean towards the man\'s car. She got into the passenger seat and sighed heavily. The tension she had felt throughout the night finally loosened up, replaced by a wave of intense exhaustion. But Lilia reminded herself that all this hard work was for Mellisa as well as for herself.

Jean, who had just gotten into the driver\'s seat, glanced at Lilia. His gaze was colored with anxiety as he saw the fatigue on his wife\'s face. Jean started the engine of the car before pulling Lilia into his arms. He lowered his head and kissed her lips gently.

"After we go home, go to sleep for a while. No matter what you want to do, you still need to take care of your body," Jean whispered.

Lilia lifted her head slightly and met a pair of dark blue eyes. She could see the reflection of her haggard face in Jean\'s eyes. Lilia raised her hand to rub Jean\'s cheek, then this time she kissed him.

"Yes I know. I don\'t want to worry you even more by getting sick now," Lilia said in between their kisses. "But…"

"But?" Jean repeated, looking at her suspiciously.

"Do you know when the Irwan family will come to visit Mellisa?" Lilia asked while looking away, trying to hide the uneasiness on her face.

Even though Lilia acted as if it wasn\'t a big deal, she couldn\'t lie to Jean. The Irwan family had occupied Lilia\'s mind the whole night and made her have trouble sleeping.

Too bad that the Irwan family didn\'t come to the hospital to visit Mellisa in her bad state last night. But ironically, Lilia thought, didn\'t their absence show that they didn\'t actually care? Or was it because Mellisa said that she didn\'t want to see them, so they really didn\'t come?

Lilia simply couldn\'t understand Richard and Janice\'s mindset. If their daughter who was thought to have died five years ago reappeared, shouldn\'t they be worried and question her all kinds of questions? This was even more so if the child returned weak and seriously injured. Did they pour all of their love just for Leila?

Jean sighed and rubbed Lilia\'s head. "As of now, Clifford is at the Irwan Family\'s house. He will let us know as soon as the situation changes," Jean explained. "Don\'t worry about it and go to bed first. I\'ll call Clifford when we get home,"

Jean\'s words made it clear that he didn\'t want to talk about the Irwan family anymore. In other words, Jean didn\'t want Lilia to fill her mind with them. Why would Lilia think of people who didn\'t even think about her? It\'s not worth it!

Lilia stared at Jean for a moment, then she smiled calmly. Even though she didn\'t completely agree, Lilia still nodded her head. "You are right. When I saw Clifford appear outside the park and block my parents\' movements, I knew right away that you had been planning this for a long time. Fine, I\'ll believe you,"

After Lilia spoke, she leaned back against the back of her chair. She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Last night, the problem with the Irwan family might just have the most brain-burning matters throughout her life.

Not only they had to be alert to every action Leila was taking, they also needed to expose who was behind the woman. After Lilia let her body relax, she slowly fell asleep lulled by the sound of the engine.

*****

One o\'clock in the afternoon, at the Skyline Apartments previously occupied by Lilia and Mellisa, the scorching sunshine seeped into the living room, bringing in a warm glow.

Lilia was still asleep in the bedroom, but Jean was already back on his feet. The man looked fresh even though he only slept for a few hours. Jean stood at the window and took a call from Clifford.

The head of Jean\'s security team called to tell him that the Irwan family husband and wife had gone to the hospital. However, Jean was not surprised to hear the news.

It wasn\'t difficult for a large family like the Irwan Family to find out where Mellisa was. After all, Jean deliberately didn\'t cover up the news about her. He wanted to know what kind of action Lilia\'s real parents would take.

After hanging up the phone, Jean still stood at the window for a moment, thinking. So far, Richard and Janice\'s reaction was still in line with his expectations. They chose to solve the mess at home first before looking for their daughter\'s whereabouts. But if they did something that hurt Lilia...

Jean clenched his fists tightly with a cold expression. Even though they were Lilia\'s real parents, he wouldn\'t let anyone make his wife sad.

If Lilia felt rejected by her own family, Jean only needed to make her feel accepted by the Widjaya Family. If Lilia didn\'t want to see her biological parents again, Jean just needed to make sure they never appeared in Lilia\'s life again. Whatever Lilia wanted, he would give it to that woman. Because Lilia had given color to his monochrome life.

Then Jean went into the bedroom. The lighting in the room was dim because all the curtains were tightly closed. Jean sat on the side of the bed and gently patted Lilia\'s shoulder which was covered in the blanket.

Normally, that little movement could easily wake Lilia up. But this time, it seemed like Lilia was so tired that she slept so soundly. When Jean saw that his wife was showing no sign of getting up, the man leaned over. Then he bent down to kiss Lilia\'s soft lips.

After that, only then did Lilia open her eyes which were as black as night. Her gaze then focused on Jean\'s handsome face which was right in front of her.

"Hmm... Jean? What\'s wrong...?" Lilia asked in a sleepy voice. She rubbed her eyes while yawning.

"Did you sleep well?" The man\'s deep voice sounded very soft.

Lilia raised her hand and wrapped it around Jean\'s neck. Then she buried her face in the man\'s shoulder. "Yes, my body feels lighter now. When did you wake up, Jean?"

Jean pressed his lips together. Actually, the man only slept about two or three hours. But he didn\'t intend to tell Lilia that. Instead of answering, Jean stroked Lilia\'s hair and said in a low voice, "Richard and Janice have gone to the hospital,"

For a moment, Lilia didn\'t know what Jean was talking about. But her brain slowly started to work and her memories of yesterday\'s incident returned.

Lilia immediately let Jean go and sat upright. She moved so fast that she accidentally smashed her forehead against the man\'s chin. "Ouch! S-Sorry! Are they there yet?" Asked Lilia while frowning in pain.

Jean rubbed Lilia\'s forehead while smiling faintly. Then he said, "Don\'t worry, they just left. They haven\'t arrived at the hospital yet,"

Lilia let out a sigh of relief, then she quickly got off the bed. Lilia then bolted into the bathroom and showered with lightning speed. Maybe this was the record for the fastest bath in her lifetime.. After Lilia finished, she immediately pulled Jean away.
