On the way home, Lilia sat in silence and didn't speak for a long time.

Her vision was still fixed on the cloudy sky outside the window, her mood was very complicated.

She didn't know how to judge Trisa's actions. She was also a woman herself and Lilia could relate with her to some point.

At this time, her continuous sighing caught the man's attention.

The car drove to a junction and stopped slowly on the side of the road.

Lilia's misty eyes froze somewhere outside the window, looking unfocused. When she realized, the man had put his face in front of her.

The tips of Jean's slender and proportioned fingers gently stroked her cheeks. His dark, deep gaze fell right onto her face. The man then said with a hint of worry, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Along the way, his wife took several breaths, making it difficult for him to concentrate while driving.

Lilia blinked lightly, raised her fingertips, and grabbed her husband's thumb. "Not really, I just feel a little bad."

The man could see right through his wife's heart. He held her cheek in one hand and rubbed the skin with his thumb. "Do you feel sorry for Trisa?"

Lilia moved the corners of her lips without trying to hide anything. "I don't have any compassion for her, maybe more for Randell and the Irwan family. Trisa has done a lot of bad and cruel things, and in the end, all this happened only because of the hatred that grew over two decades. And my sister and I fell victims to that,"

"I'm fine though, and like Trisa said, I was lucky because I could meet you at least. But Mellisa, Randell, and Grandpa Simon.. They all wouldn't have to suffer like that if Trisa didn't let her hatred get the best of her,"

After expressing her thoughts, Lilia furrowed her brows. She still felt like her mind was falling apart.

She lowered her head angrily, sighed again, and leaned back on the man's shoulder while pulling on her seat belt.

The car was engulfed in silence for a moment.

The man did not say much, he always accompanied her in silence.

He just gently stroked her hair with the palm of his hand, warming her sour heart with his heat.

It didn't take long for Lilia to get over her emotions. After a few minutes, she lifted her head in amazement.

Thinking of one thing, her gaze looked sly as she saw the man's calm and handsome face. Then she whispered softly, "Did you arrange for Clifford to take a vacation on purpose?"

The corners of the man's thin lips curved slightly. "It's just a coincidence."

Hearing his explanation, Lilia's eyes shone brightly and her chin dropped wide. "I can't believe you are such a sneaky guy! Obviously, he went there prepared! I could hear it from the way Clifford answered the phone."

Hearing this, Jean raised his long eyebrows, took out phone from his pocket and handed it to Lilia. With a smile on his lips, he said softly. "Since you want to know, you better call him and ask him yourself."

Lilia noticed his movements and was eager to try.

She was indeed a little curious about Clifford's motives for vacationing to the United States. If it was a vacation, how could he meet Steven and spend the day with Trisa's two sons?

...

Lilia kept racking her brain as she wanted to relieve her curious heart. She took the man's cell phone, opened it skillfully and opened his contact list. After a while, her sliding fingertips stopped.

Lilia was attracted by the name at the very top of the contact list.

"My World."

Such a simple word, but it made her tremble.

She glanced at the man who was caressing her, Lilia then lowered her head back to look at the name again, and lightly tapped on the screen. The number on it, unsurprisingly, belonged to her.

Lilia always trusted her husband, and this made her never check on his phone or whatsoever.

So this was the first time she'd seen her name on Jean's cell phone.

The man stole a glance at her with great affection, Jean held the steering wheel with one hand and slowly leaned towards her. His voice was soft and deep as he muttered, "Do you want to change it with 'Mrs. Widjaya'?"

Hearing his voice, Lilia pursed her lips and laughed. She quickly looked away without answering.

However, the tips of her ears were red, and she even subconsciously locked her husband's cell and clutched her handbag tightly in her lap.

The man caught her small movement and narrowed his eyes playfully. "Hmm? Why are you being nervous like that?"

Lilia still lowered her head and was fiddling with her husband's cell phone. When she returned to the homepage, Lilia said to him, "Is Clifford sleeping at the moment?"

Her heart was really nervous, she was worried that Jean would want to see his name on her cellphone.

The man looked at her, and after a few seconds of silence, he looked out the window with deep eyes. A smile appeared in his eyes. "Why is Mellisa here?!"

"Ah?!" Lilia was already nervous, so she turned her head and looked outside.

Suddenly, her handbag was forcibly taken away.

She didn't see Mellisa anywhere outside!

Lilia's body shrank a little and her face bulged. "Where did you learn to trick others!"

"Mrs. Widjaya is very nervous, I'm just very curious about my name on your contact list!"

The man said in a deep and funny voice, but Lilia's eyes began to drift uncontrollably.

"I... I'll show you!" She wanted to take the handbag back, but the man pulled it away.

Jean narrowed his eyes and then he locked his wife's lips with his. Without a doubt, he french kissed Lilia with passion.

Under the arousing sensation, Lilia was lost for a while.

When he noticed that his wife's breathing started to become irregular, the man took out Lilia's phone from her bag and opened it smoothly.

He found her contact list and when he clicked on it, his eyes naturally went into the first position.

The man's handsome and graceful face narrowed, his expression slightly darkened.

The first in line was Harold.

Why wasn't he the top contact!

The second place was Vivi.

Again, not him! He lost to Lilia's best friend!

The third place was Dinah.

Why was that assistant even in the top three!

The man swiped the screen little by little, and he found his name nowhere on the top three! What a shock!

At this time, Lilia had recovered from her dizziness, she pressed her lips and saw the man swipe the screen to see the saved contacts all the way to the bottom. But then his fingertips immediately stopped.

His heart also fell to the ground.

And when he saw that unique remark, his handsome face was adorned with the sweetest smile in the world.

"[My Lovely Hubby] Jean"

Due to the addition of a special symbol, his name came last.

At this moment, it didn't matter if it was the first or the last.

Because he was Lilia's 'lovely hubby' and was the only one in her favorite.

"Have you finished reading it?" Lilia's cheeks flew with two rosy clouds. Then she grabbed her phone back and hid it behind her.

Jean's thin lips lifted, his cheeks blushed a little as he faintly parted his lips to say, "When did you change my name?"

Lilia pretended to be calm. "I changed it long ago!"

She tried to be calm, but she was still a little embarrassed.

Even though she was mature, this was the first time she had truly loved someone so seriously.

Like any girls, she secretly named her partner's contact with an affectionate nickname. However, her embarrassment made her not want others to know.

The man saw her embarrassment, but the indulgent love under his eyes grew thicker. He grasped the back of his wife's head and kissed her lips again. His hoarse voice was accompanied by a dazzling magnet as he whispered, "No matter what, I will always be your beloved husband."

The corner of Lilia's mouth pressed against her lips. Three seconds later, a warm smile bloomed on her face as she replied softly, "Husband..."

This was not the first time she had spoken to Jean heart to heart.

After all, she would always call her husband in a spoiled voice or by some other unique names.. And yet, it was these little things that made their love strong.
