My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 371 - Improper Time

Even Leonard didn't expect the ward door to suddenly open.

The uninvited guest did not knock on the door before opening it. When the door swung open, he was stunned in the doorway.

Mellisa automatically wanted to wear her clothes again, but Leonard was faster than her. The man pulled the blanket by the side of the bed with one hand and quickly wrapped it around Mellisa's shoulder. Then he frowned with a menacing expression on his face.

"Remember to knock on the door next time!" Hardik Leonard.

The uninvited guest was Mike Austin. The man was so excited to visit Mellisa that he immediately walked into the ward without thinking. Because of that, he saw many things that he shouldn't have seen.

Leonard tied the corners of the blanket on either side of Mellisa's shoulders, creating a makeshift coat. Then the man raised his hand to smooth the hair stuck to Mellisa's forehead. Only then did Leonard turn around and start arranging the cotton and iodophores on the tray without saying a word.

At this moment, Mellisa saw Leonard's expression and realized that the man looked angry. In this situation, Mellisa really didn't know how to comfort him. She didn't even know why Leonard was angry, so what should she do?

Finally Mellisa decided to do what she could first. She looked at Mike and asked calmly, "Mike, why did you visit today?"

Mike himself did not expect to see this scene as soon as he entered. This is both charming and inspiring.

After trying his best to calm his mood, Mike leaned against the doorway. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said seductively, "Looks like I came here at a bad time?"

Only Mike knew how much courage he had taken to utter that sentence. He desperately held back and harbored the question that was in his heart.

"Is there really no place for me in your heart?"

Mellisa saw Mike's expression full of jokes. He snorted and pointed to a sofa not far from the door. "Don't talk nonsense, sit down."

After Mike sat down, Leonard turned and headed for the door, as if he was leaving.

Mellisa was suddenly struck by an inexplicable feeling of anxiety. Almost without thinking, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Leonard glanced at Mellisa briefly before answering, "There's not enough Iodophores, so I'll ask for a new bottle. You guys talk first, I'll come back later."

"Oh okay."

Mellisa watched Leonard leave the ward without looking back. He saw clearly that the iodophor bottle on the bedside table was still one-third its volume.

Could it be… Leonard was just looking for an excuse to leave because he was… angry ?!

Mellisa couldn't understand the man's thoughts. As someone who has never been in love, it is difficult for Mellisa to guess the intricacies of the relationship between a man and a woman. Even so, she couldn't deny the feeling of emptiness that arose as soon as Leonard vanished from her sight.

Mellisa stared blankly at the door for a few seconds, while Mike sat on the sofa and stared at her.

After five years, things have changed. Mike never saw the melancholy look on Mellisa's face. Even worse, she felt melancholy because of that man.

Mike took a deep breath and closed his eyes to block the stinging sight. Andrew's brother was still dressed as usual, as if he had not been able to leave his habits for years. Mike wears leather clothes, trousers, black boots. His appearance gave off a stubborn and unruly impression.

There was a long silence on the ward. Mike finally broke the silence by saying, "I just heard that you had a fight with the Irwan family today?"

Mike intentionally didn't mention that he rushed to the hospital after hearing this. The panic caused by the news also made Mike open the bedroom door without knocking first.

Since two days ago, Mike never visited Mellisa again. But that doesn't mean that he didn't go to the hospital. The man always came every day just to look at the room where Mellisa was from the hospital garden every day. It's not that Mike doesn't want to meet, but he doesn't know how to deal with Mellisa when they finally meet.

A person who has fallen in love tends to be a lot more careful around their loved ones. They don't want to show an ugly or pathetic side of themselves.

Mellisa looked away from the ward door, then looked at Mike. She chuckled softly and said, "Hoo, I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. I thought at least the Irwan Family would try to hide it a little longer."

Mike pressed his lips together and folded his legs. Her gaze was fixed on the tip of her boot as she asked the question that she dreaded. "Then what are your plans after this? Are you going to bring Lilia back to the Irwan Family house?" Mike asked, trying to sound casual.

"We can't go back." Mellisa said with surprising firmness. "We will return to Surabaya in two days." There was absolutely no doubt in the woman's voice.

Mike's body froze when he heard Mellisa's words. He slowly looked at the woman and frowned. "Why did you have to go to Surabaya? Wasn't Leila taken there by the couple? Sis Mellisa, your house is in Jakarta, right? Surabaya is very far from here, can you get used to living there?" Chick Mike.

The man was trying to make himself sound worried, even though his original motive was not so pure. Mike just didn't want Mellisa to leave him again. If Mellisa stays in Jakarta, she can slowly regain the time lost between them. Mike believes he can change Mellisa's view of him and win her heart.

But if Mellisa goes to Surabaya, which is separated by hundreds of kilometers, what can Mike do? The Austin family would not let Mike commute to Surabaya for no apparent reason, let alone let him stay there.

Right now, Mike's mood was churning like a stormy ocean. He tried to stay calm, but faced with the fact that Mellisa was leaving soon, his heart refused to calm down. If he doesn't do something, the woman he loves will be snatched from him again!

Mellisa sat cross-legged on the bed, still holding the blanket in her hand. She stared at Mike's disapproving expression. After a few seconds of silence, Mellisa turned her head and looked out the window.

"Where Lilia is, that's my home. If you're here to persuade me, you don't have to. The Irwan family can't hold me back, so your efforts are useless." Said Mellisa.

Her words shattered Mike's hopes, causing the man to lower his head.

"Anyway, I heard from Aunt Jenny that the marriage contract between the Irwan Family and the Austin Family will be reconsidered." Mellisa added.

The topic made Mike look up again. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes. Will Mellisa volunteer to replace Leila?

"If you have a woman you love, this is your chance, Mike! You can cancel the contract and be with your lover! "

Unfortunately, Mellisa's sincere remarks again destroyed Mike's hopes.. As a reminder, Mellisa didn't have any intention behind what she just said.
