My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 407 - Let Me Stay Here

Even without Jean telling him, Chris already knew it. The Hartanto family's internal conflict had gotten worse in recent times. He had lost half a month of his life over that ridiculous feud. Chris would never forgive himself if something happened to Merry. Fortunately, the young woman would return to America today.

"Ahh, I lost again!" Merry sighed as she threw her cell phone on the sofa. "If Clifford were here, I could have won the round just now!"

Chris' annoyance grew every time Merry mentioned the man's name. Maybe the young woman didn't mean anything, but Chris felt that he was being rivaled by the head of the Widjaya Family's bodyguard.

Chris sighed and said, "Merry, have you packed your things? Don't forget that you have to go back to America today,"

Hearing that, Merry immediately forgot about her game. She turned to Chris with a frown. "Brother Chris... Do I really have to go back?" She asked reluctantly.

Chris smiled bitterly. "Didn't we promise that I will pick you up after you graduate in two years? How can you graduate if you don't study?" He teased.

"But you can't even get out of bed! I don't want to go home now!" Merry protested like a child.

However, her words stabbed Chris even more. He wanted Merry to leave immediately because he didn't want the young woman to suffer the same fate as him. But why did Merry have to be so stubborn?!

"I will be fine." Chris said dryly. "You woke me up, so your job here is complete. Come back to America, Merry. "

Chris' cold and emotionless tone only fueled Merry's stubbornness. She shook her head vigorously.

"At least let me accompany you until you recover! I will beg Brother Jean myself to let me stay here! I don't even care if you scold me! It's just…"

Let me stay here.

Before Merry could finish her sentence, Chris slammed his fist on the table beside his bed. Merry jumped when she heard the loud sound.

"Come back to America! There's nothing you can do here!" Chris snapped, losing his temper. "You will only make trouble!"

Merry was surprised by Chris' serious expression and raised voice. She looked at him blankly for a long time as she forgot how to react. Brother Chris had betrayed her again!

The corner of the young woman's mouth curved downwards, making Chris' heart seem to have stopped beating for an instant.

Was he crazy? Couldn't he speak in a sweeter way? What was he trying to do by hurting Merry like this?

The man immediately regretted what he had said to her. He tried his best to stand up and persuade Merry. But his slow movements couldn't keep up with the young woman.

Merry stood up quickly and shouted at him fiercely, "If you want, I'll go! I'll never come back here! I'll never play with you again!"

'Damn it!' Chris cursed his own foolishness!

"Wait, Merry, listen to me ..."

The man stretched out his hand to grab her, but Merry walked out the door with brisk strides. She completely ignored Chris's attempts to pursue her.

Just as Merry violently opened the sliding door and galloped out, she immediately collided with Lilia.

"Ouch!" Merry held her forehead that just hit Lilia's chest.

She looked up and met Lilia's eyes, who looked just as shocked. Merry immediately rushed towards her with teary eyes and hugged the model tightly.

She muttered, "Sis Lilia, I'm going now, and I won't come back to this life! See you in the next life!"

Lilia could only smile wryly at that. Why did Merry even say she's going to meet her in the next life? She guessed that this young woman must have had an argument with Chris. Her gaze then shifted towards the second grandson of the Hartanto family.

Chris was about to open the drawer to find a knife! He wanted to stab himself when he felt that he had turned into an evil-hearted person who dared to make Merry cry.

The young woman rushed home from abroad for his sake. Merry even risked getting scolded by Jean and her father just to see Chris. No matter how reluctant Chris was to let her go, he shouldn't have lost his temper like this. Chris cursed himself for losing his cool earlier.

He forced himself to his feet and walked toward the door. His pace was slow and shaky as a result of being bedridden for half a month. Even though his forehead was furrowed and his eyes tinged with pain, he did not give up on approaching Merry.

"Merry, be a good girl and come to Brother Chris. I'm sure he has something to say to you," Lilia persuaded gently.

After hearing Lilia's words, Merry shook her head with a stubborn expression. She tightened her hug and explained that she would not see Chris again from now on.

This chaotic scene left Mellisa dumbfounded. Why was the relationship between this man and young woman so strange? But this girl looked so adorable with her round face and big eyes. Even when Merry was angry, she looked cute like an angry doll.

Clifford stood behind Mellisa and stared blankly at the daughter of the Hiroshi Family. His heart ached a little. On the way to the hospital, Clifford just heard that Merry would return to America today. He had no right to comment, so he could only keep quiet and suppress his emotions.

At this time, Lilia patted Merry's shoulder and tried to calm the girl's anxious expression. When she saw Chris awkwardly walking towards them, Lilia whispered in Merry's ear, "Brother Chris is walking over here, but it looks like he's going to fall."

Merry's shoulders jumped when she heard that. She pulled away slightly from Lilia's embrace, her eyelashes shaking in confusion. Merry pressed her lips together and glanced back with a mixture of curiosity and worry.

Then the two saw Chris clutching his chest with one hand. The man's body slowly tilted and he staggered to the side.

"Brother Chris! Be careful! What will I do if the wound in your heart artery opens again?!" Merry screamed as she let go of Lilia and ran towards Chris.

In the end, no matter how angry Merry was with Chris, she was still afraid that Chris would actually get hurt. She wouldn't want to leave if that man got hurt again by his wound.

Merry ran towards him and Chris' figure slowly stopped. Then the man hugged her just as the young woman tried to catch him.

Lilia could only clench her lips and watch the two people as she stood near the door. She saw with her own eyes that Chris was pretending to fall then took the opportunity to hug Merry. As if to make himself look more pitiful, he immediately pressed his head against Merry's shoulder. His height that almost reached two meters was a stark contrast to Merry's petite build.

Lilia silently rolled her eyes. Chris was such a cunning man to the bone! Jean's best friend brilliantly plotted a way so that Merry had no choice but to forgive him. He could even get the young woman to run back to him and hug him at will.. Lilia felt a little sorry for Merry for not being aware that she had fallen into Chris' trap.
