My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 390 - I Will Wait For Your Arrival

As they spoke on the phone, Alfred's voice was low and soft, with a touch of warmth. "If I didn't watch your live broadcast just now, I wouldn't know you were back in Surabaya,"

"I just returned to Surabaya yesterday. But I didn't expect that you would also watch my live broadcast."

On the other end of Alfred's phone, there was a shallow wind. He seemed to be outside the room. After the sound of the wind passed, his voice was clear again. "I happen to be free today, so I'm lucky to be able to watch a very unique live broadcast,"

Alfred always seemed to speak very well and politely. Even if they had not been in contact for a long time, the man would not make the other person uncomfortable.

Lilia leaned back on the sofa and changed her posture. Her eyes were fixed on the beautiful scenery outside the window. She said with a faint smile, "Do you need something from me? You don't usually call me like this,"

It felt like it had been a long time since they last contacted. Did Alfred think of Lilia because of the live broadcast and decided to call her? If it's like that, Lilia wouldn't hesitate to end their conversation. In her eyes, Alfred was not very good at maintaining long-term communication with other people.

Before Alfred could answer, there was a sudden knock on the front door of the Lakeside Villa. The person outside the door seemed very anxious. The knocking sound at the door grew faster and faster, as if they didn't have the patience to wait.

"Brother Alfred, wait a minute!" Lilia said to the other person.

She got up from the sofa and walked quickly to the front door. Lilia clamped her cell phone between her ear and shoulder before opening the door. A cold wind blew in as soon as the door opened. Lilia's gaze fell on Mellisa's figure who was standing there leaning on a crutch.

"Lilia! Are you alright?" Mellisa immediately asked with a tone full of concern as soon as she saw her sister.

After Lilia recovered from her shock, she smiled as she shook her head. She invited Mellisa in, then pointed to the cell phone in her ear and motioned for her sister to wait.

She and Mellisa walked hand in hand into the living room. After they sat on the sofa, then Lilia spoke on the phone again.

"Sorry Brother Alfred, are you still there?"

Alfred immediately answered, "Yes, are you busy? Should I call you later?"

"No need, Brother Alfred can talk to me now. What's wrong?" Lilia replied.

"Yes, I won't take up too much of your time," Alfred said. "I called you today just to remind you. Now that you are back in Surabaya, don't forget to come to my tea house when you have time. The tea class you took the other day isn't over yet, so I hope you won't forget. That's all,"

His tone was very calm, like a serious and responsible teacher.

But when Lilia heard that, her cheeks felt a little hot. Suddenly, she felt like a child playing for a tea class but had no intention of pursuing it. After Lilia thought about it a little more, she realized that she hadn't made tea for Jean in a long time.

Lilia bit her lower lip with an embarrassed expression and hurriedly replied, "I haven't forgotten about it. Brother Alfred, thank you for reminding me. I'll definitely go there after I'm done with my work,"

"Yes, I will wait for your arrival!"

Lilia hung up the phone with a sigh. She tried to remember the tea-making lessons that Alfred taught back then. But after all that had happened, Lilia had a hard time remembering basic things like the name of the tool used to make tea. Did she need to ask Alfred to teach her from the basics again?

The woman felt increasingly less serious about the tea class she joined. She planned to make tea for Jean today, and review her studies.

At this time, Mellisa watched Lilia with a sigh. Her sister's attitude made Mellisa even more worried. "What's the matter? Did something happen?"

She couldn't stand the chaos that was going on on the internet right now. When Mellisa read the news on the Internet, she got so angry that she slammed her phone! How dare they portray her little sister as a cheap woman!

Lilia turned her head and caught the uncontrollable panic in Mellisa's eyes. She shook her head quickly.

"No, I was just talking to my tea-making teacher. He reminded me to go to class again. Rather than that, why is Sis Mel here? I was just thinking about visiting your house in a moment," Lilia immediately changed the subject.

Since Mellisa lived in the villa next to her house, they could visit each other on foot only in thirty seconds. This distance made Lilia feel that her sister was always nearby.

When Lilia returned to express her gratitude to Leonard after the man bought the house here, Mellisa felt annoyed in her heart.

"Lilia, is your tea-making teacher actually from Mars? The news about you on the Internet has been spreading out of control, but he still wants you to go to class?" She asked incredulously.

Seeing Mellisa's furious expression, Lilia got up and poured her a glass of water. She smiled sweetly as she handed the glass to her sister.

"Sister Mel, don't say that. He's also a lecturer at the university, so he probably doesn't pay attention to the news on the internet," Lilia said to calm Mellisa's explosive temper. Then she returned the topic to Mellisa's purpose to come here. "I guess? you also read the news?"

"Well, all those damn people have literally swallowed up the nonsense about your origin. Those disgusting people even dared to add lies and fake details about you! I wish I could beat them up one by one!" Mellisa grumbled at length. Her eyes were filled with bitterness and burning anger.

Since Lilia met her, this was the first time she had seen Mellisa this angry. She put her cellphone on the table, then pressed the water glass in her sister's hand.

"Sis Mel, how about you drink water first to cool off?" Lilia persuaded gently. "You don't need to be angry— that's how the internet works. Their life may be too boring, so when there's interesting gossip, they're tempted to spice it up to make it more interesting. I'm used to it,"

Mellisa drank the water until it ran out. Then she twisted her body uncomfortably as she sat on the sofa. She was so angry that the wound on her back felt itchy.

Seeing Mellisa finally calm down, Lilia said with a smile, "Isn't brother-in-law coming with you?"

"Cough, cough!"

Mellisa immediately choked the water she was sipping. She kept coughing and wanted to reply, but the more she tried to speak, the more her throat hurt. Her face flushed red, and she couldn't say a single sentence.

"Oh, don't get too excited!" Lilia scolded Mellisa.

Suddenly, she saw her sister raise her hands to cover her waist and stomach. Lilia's face immediately changed, and she hurriedly patted Mellisa's back.

"What's the matter? Has your wound opened again?" Lilia asked worriedly.

Mellisa put down her water glass while glancing at Lilia. She leaned back on the sofa and sighed heavily. The wound was less itchy after rubbing against the soft surface of the sofa.

"Don't call him brother-in-law, he doesn't deserve to be called that yet," Mellisa said.
