My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 481 - Mike’s Doubts

When Lilia and Mellisa arrived at 16:40, the entire garden banquet hall was packed with people. This banquet event was very festive.

The two of them had just appeared and three familiar figures walked slowly from the bar at the edge of the park.

"Lilia, Mellisa!"

Claire and her husband walked over to them, and beside them was Mike with his cold indifferent expression.

Under the dazzling crystal chandelier in the banquet hall, the man's eyes were fixed on Mellisa's body without even blinking.

In just a few short seconds, his pace went from slow to fast. He couldn't wait to hear the voice he had been craving for so long, he finally arrived and stood in front of her.

Mike didn't care about anyone anymore. He only had his eyes on Mellisa's sole figure.

He didn't say anything, but his eyes were locked deep in the shadow. The woman's appearance was still the same in his memories, familiarity etched into his bones.

Today, Mellisa wore a long, dark red slim-fit trench coat, making her look tall and slim. Paired with boots, she looked both gorgeous and charming.

Mellisa herself rarely wore bright colored clothes like this, but since Lilia had prepared them for her, she had no choice but to wear them.

"How's your wound?" Mike said in a low voice, his tone was filled with concern.

After he asked, an astonishing stream of light flashed across the corner of the woman's eyes.

She looked really good today.

Seeing this scene, Andrew and Claire exchanged glances and their eyes looked helpless and sad.

The scene at the hospital that day still lingered in their memories, but they were outsiders and they couldn't help but watch.

Mellisa moved her eyes and gently pursed her lips. "My health has improved greatly, thank you for your attention."

Hearing her voice, Mike smiled broadly without stopping. He tugged at the hem of his jacket, but his eyes were on the woman's face. "Why are you still being polite like that?"

Mellisa shook her head and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that. Then, I'll try to speak as casually as possible."

The conversation between the two of them, unlike anyone else, made Andrew even more dizzy.

His little brother was really crazy about Mellisa. If Leonard saw this, he was afraid a fight would break out between the two.

After their brief interaction, Claire, wearing a sophisticated and elegant suit, smiled and raised her arms to embrace the two. "You two, how are you today? I haven't seen you in a while and I haven't heard from you at all. Did Jean and Leonard take good care of you?"

Lilia also said with a smile, "Sister, we take care of them!"

When Claire let go of her embrace, she saw the two of them from top to bottom. She then nodded happily. "Of course, they can't do anything without us! Hahaha looks like you guys are fine and it looks like Mellisa's skin color is getting lighter too. Where are Jean and Leonard? Didn't the two of them come?"

"They still have business, they'll come later."

Claire nodded and was about to speak again, but Mike looked at Mellisa and said, "Do you want to go out and smoke together?"

Mellisa raised her eyebrows, she didn't remember that she ever smoked in front of Mike.

But since she had been invited, Mellisa naturally had no reason to refuse. She then turned her head and said to Lilia, "I'll be out for a bit to smoke, call me if something happens!"

"Sis, don't smoke too much! It's not healthy you know!"

Lilia and Claire could only blink as they watched Mellisa and Mike leave the banquet hall.

"Lilia, how has your life been lately…? How have you been doing with the Irwan family?" Even though Claire knew about the relationship between Lilia and the Irwan family, she didn't have time to ask more questions recently due to her current health.

Hearing this, Lilia followed her gaze and looked into the distance. Remembering what Richard and Janice had said, she retreated her gaze and smiled slightly. "It's the same as before, no different."

Claire sighed with emotion, and Andrew, long abandoned, was looking displeased. "After all, the Mayer family should also take responsibility for their daughter's actions, so you don't have to worry about Lilia anymore. If you worry all the time, you'll be burdening our baby."

Andrew's words made Lilia raise her eyebrows in surprise. She turned to Claire looking surprised. "Sister..."

"Well, it's only been three months!" Andrew nodded proudly with a wide smile on his face.

He couldn't help but put his palm on Claire's lower abdomen.

As Lilia's expression slowly brightened up, she stared at her sister-in-law's stomach and hurriedly congratulated her. "Sister, congrats!"

This time, Claire slapped Andrew's hand in disgust. "Don't touch it, every time you touch my stomach, I feel like throwing up!"

Andrew just pulled his hand and pursed his lips.

Claire was telling the truth, she wasn't making it up.

She felt that the child in her stomach might hate their own father.

Because every time her husband touched her stomach, she would instantly feel sick.

Seeing the couple looking happy and lovely, there was a bit of envy in her eyes.

She couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like if she had a child together with Jean.

After a while, the three of them walked over to the buffet table area smiling and chatting. Then they sat and talked in a relaxed manner.

The atmosphere around Mellisa and Mike as they smoked together was pretty good too.

In the smoking area, guests were busy smoking while chatting about their business or life. Under the thinning sun, the smoke drifted along with the wind.

Mike and Mellisa walked slowly to the side of the path, their steps unhurried. Their upright figures were reflected on the ground in the flare of the setting sun.

Mike didn't speak and Mellisa remained silent, trying not to break the calm.

They paced back and forth quietly until Mike stood still and turned around. He spread his palms towards Mellisa, then handed over the cigarette box.

Even though she brought her own cigarette, Mellisa felt it would be rude to refuse it. She then spun Mike's cigarette case and took out one. After she put it between her lips, Mike was already pressing the match.

He blocked one side of the match with one hand so that the wind could not extinguish the fire. When he saw that Mellisa's cigarette was lit, he took another cigarette for himself.

They stood silently in front of each other, the smell of mint that the woman exhaled wafted around, carried away by the cool breeze and left without leaving a trace.

Mike hesitated for a long time, and after a moment, he whispered when the cigarette was half over. "When will you return to live in the capital?"

Mellisa's gaze was fixed on the grassy road. Feeling her gaze slightly blurred, her slender fingertips pressed the cigarette's butt firmer. "No plan."

This was the truth. Currently, she had no plan to stay in Jakarta anymore.

Mike's thin lips tightened in an instant, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked with a worried face, "Are you planning not to come back again?"

Mellisa noticed that there was something wrong about the question and chuckled. Then she turned her head towards him. "Nobody knows what will happen in the future, so let's live this life day by day first."

"Mellisa..." Mike wanted to say something, but when the words almost escaped his lips, he sank into deep doubt.

He pressed the tip of his tongue against the surface of his teeth, hesitating again and again before finally saying, "Are you and that man already in a relationship?"

Mellisa understood who the man he was referring to.
