My Supermodel Wife

Mellisa heard a commotion outside the door from the living room. Leonard also heard it from the kitchen. Then they walked slowly and were welcomed by the cold breeze that blew past them from the front entrance.

However, the figure of Lilia hugging a man tightly, combined with the dark background of the night, seemed so warm and peaceful.

Mellisa was blown away by it. A long time ago, she had ridiculous thoughts when she was looking forward to loving someone. And her ideal image of 'love' was exactly what was in front of her— hugging the person she loved.

Mellisa had thought that Leonard was a man who would accompany her for the rest of her life.

But last night, she felt her expectation was betrayed.

Leonard was the heir of his family, but she didn't know much about his family. She tried to investigate it once, only to find out that his family was indeed full of mystery.

All she knew was that Leonard had quite a large family. Apart from that, she couldn't find anything else.

If they were to be matched, wouldn't that bring a shame since their identities were so different?

Who was she again? A fake princess who didn't even have the erudite traits of her extended family? Why did Leonard choose her then?!

Currently, Mellisa was immersed in her own thoughts.

But she still stared at the two who were hugging in front of her without changing her face.

Leonard's fingers were still dirty from cutting the chicken, so he wiped them with a tissue. When he met Jean's eyes, he suggested, "It's time for dinner, let's eat together!"

"No, I'll bring her back and eat together at home!"

After hearing the answer, Leonard gave a sharp smile. Staring at his wet palms, he thought that his cooking wasn't that much better than Jean's.

To make a woman happy, one has to fill her stomach first before her heart!

But Leonard tried to forget about it. The most important thing for him now was to accompany Mellisa!

...

After Lilia and Jean left, Mellisa furrowed her brows and returned to the living room. She didn't even bother to look at Leonard.

Leonard didn't say much, perhaps because he knew Mellisa was confused. He then returned to the kitchen to continue cooking.

He was really thinking about the phone call from his family yesterday. It looked like formalizing his relationship with Mellisa couldn't be delayed any longer! His family obviously couldn't sit still and wait for an answer from him.

If there was no clarity to what they intended to do with their relationship, his family might introduce another woman for him in the near future!

Twenty minutes later, Leonard began to prepare the plates and cutlery then put their dinner on the table.

When he looked into the living room, he couldn't find Mellisa.

Frowning, Leonard walked upstairs.

Leonard was happy because he didn't fail his cooking, therefore he didn't mind Mellisa's cold attitude towards him. He immediately walked to the bedroom's door, grabbed the handle and turned it.

Hmm? Why was it locked?

Even the door's lock was taken!

Leonard let out a helpless sigh, he then knocked on the door, "Mellisa, dinner's ready!"

But no one answered!

He patiently shouted again, "Don't be too emotional, your health is important so you have to eat first. You can do whatever you want after that."

The room was still as quiet as a cave.

Leonard scratched his hair, for some reason he became a little annoyed. His annoyance was not with Mellisa, but with his family behind him.

It was clear that his relationship with Mellisa had become more and more harmonious over the years and that certain things about them also followed in the same direction.

However, his family really interfered with his plan!

If it weren't for them making their own claims, this door couldn't have been locked, could it?!

Tonight, Leonard failed to open the door to his room.

But before he returned downstairs, he kicked the door in annoyance.

At the same time, Lilia returned to her house next door and smelled the tasty food in the air as soon as she entered.

She was so excited that she didn't have time to talk more, and just ran straight to the kitchen after changing taking off her shoes.

On the table was chicken koloke, her favorite fried meat, and meatball soup.

When she turned around, she ran back into her man's arms. "Why did you come back so early? Why did you cook? Have you got enough rest?"

When Jean hugged her and pulled out a chair for her, his voice was soft as he replied, "I want to eat with you, and it won't take long to cook all of this anyway. Hurry and sit down, let's enjoy this meal together."

Lilia sat on the chair her husband pulled out for her, but her beautiful eyes were still glued on the man.

The incandescent lamp in the kitchen was so bright, it illuminated the dark circles around his eyes.

He didn't seem to get much rest throughout the day and night.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" The man sat opposite her. When he lifted his eyes, he saw Lilia's gaze fixed on him.

Lilia pulled the corner of her mouth and lifted her head, then she asked, "Is your company having serious problems?"

The man took her plate and fetched a koloke for her. "It's not a difficult situation, it's just an unexpected problem. I won't be too busy in the next few days, so I can accompany you again!"

"I don't need you to accompany me, it's just that ... will the loss of your work contract have a big impact on the Widjaya family?" Lilia couldn't help herself, she asked straightforwardly about her worries.

The man stopped his hand from taking the food, his eyes were filled with interest as he asked back, "How do you know that my company has lost the work contract?"

Lilia lowered her head and bit into her column, she muttered, "It's on the news."

Hearing her voice, Jean put down the plate and spoon. His arm was resting on the table then he asked with a serious face, "Are you worried about my company?"

"Of course not! I'm worried about you!" Lilia glanced at him and put down the spoon.

These two were just sitting while staring at each other, looking real honest and gentle.

The man raised his arm and stroked his wife's cheek across the table. His magnetic voice contained love and tenderness as he said, "Don't worry, it's just a work contract. Losing one won't affect the Widjaya family much."

The Widjaya family sure had confidence!

Lilia's eyes sparkled with excitement. When she lowered her head to eat again, she subconsciously? asked, "I read on the news and they said the company that dared to fight against the Widjaya family is called Galaxy Real Estate. How come this company suddenly stole a contract from the Widjaya family?"

After she voiced her question, the living room suddenly became quiet.

Lilia continued to chew on her food and stared at him. Under the lamplight, her husband's expression remained unchanged, still smiling warmly at her. "Do you also know from the news?"

"Well , the news reports are not detailed enough, they just say Galaxy Real Estate has taken over one of the Widjaya family contracts, they also add that they are a dark horse in the real estate industry this year."

To make what she said even more convincing, Lilia honestly said what she saw earlier this afternoon.

The man pursed his lips and smiled weakly. "A dark horse doesn't have long stamina and endurance, while our fight is more towards it. Whether their foundation has the ability to develop or not, can they keep up with market demand or not and so on, many factors can play a role in it."

This statement sounded somewhat correct.

Lilia's eyes lit up as she said, "The media say that the total price they are offering is only a hundred million lower than yours. I thought... that's not normal!"

"Why do you feel this isn't normal?" The man asked as he tried to read her eyes.

The tone of his rhetorical question seemed to test her on purpose.

Lilia raised her jaw quite proudly. "As far as I know, the people who carry out the tender will provide the total cost that they have estimated. No matter how bad it was, there would definitely be a low price among all of them."

"Even if the strength and experience of the two companies are on par, reducing the number of offers by the gap to 100 million is somewhat suspicious," she continued.

"In my opinion, the leak of the price you are offering has a huge effect on your opponent's victory. Unless someone in another company has powerful senses, otherwise... The price leak was caused by an insider!"

The last sentence was what Lilia always wanted to say!
