My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 526 - Running Into His Embrace

When Leonard saw Lilia, the expression this supermodel was wearing was truly serious. He also saw Mellisa's expression that looked angry. For his own happiness, Leonard chose to help.

But as he said, it was hard to hide from Jean's attention if someone was to investigate the Widjaya family's affairs.

That man and the information network he owned was terrifying!

Lilia didn't answer, but after thinking for a moment, she finally responded to Leonard's words, "Brother-in-law, thank you!"

Mellisa immediately kicked him from under the table.

Leonard responded to her words very well. "You're welcome, it's nice to be a member of your family."

"Then... While you're investigating it, could you please help me to check the list of all new Galaxy Real Estate employees in the past three months?"

This request took Leonard by surprise.

"What do you suspect?"

Lilia gave him a sly look. "There's something I want to confirm. If there's news, please let me know as soon as possible."

Seeing that she did not plan to answer directly, Leonard also nonchalantly kept his mouth shut.

He raised his wrist to check the time. When he got up and went to the kitchen, he asked, "Do you want to have dinner here?"

"Yes!" Mellisa was the first to answer.

Lilia smiled and looked to the side. "Will my presence bother you?"

Despite this question, Lilia herself had no intention of getting up and leaving.

She thought that Jean should still be busy at the company at the moment. Since she hated being lonely, it would be nice if she could eat here together with her sister and brother-in-law.

Wasn't it her future brother-in-law who offered her to eat here? Of course Lilia would accept it!

Mellisa narrowed her eyes at Lilia, she knew that this little sister was teasing her, so she pursed her lips as she said, "Who is it that dares to reject you? If you're not here, I'm tired of being alone!"

Leonard stopped in his steps toward the kitchen with a big question mark above his head.

Did she not think of him as a person?!

His little bear was probably mad at him for overhearing his phone last night.

Leonard's family appointed Mellisa as his future fiancée, they called him up late and told him last night.

Unfortunately, this conversation was overheard by Mellisa!

At that time, Mellisa only asked in surprise, "Are you my fiancé?"

With just one sentence, Mellisa immediately dropped the cup of hot tea she's going to give him on the floor.

Leonard was at a loss for words. He knew his family was doing too much, but he didn't expect them to discuss his marriage with Mellisa so quickly without considering the bad incident that Mellisa had just gone through.

Moreover, the engagement suggested by his family was only one-sided. The current head of his family was really too hasty. Why didn't they let him decide for himself when to marry Mellisa?!

Leonard's heart sank very deep. At the kitchen door, he couldn't help but look at Mellisa. Under the warm yellow light above his head, he could still see the girl's cheeks rigid and the pent up emotion on her face.

This time, he was the one who made the mistake first.

From now on, he would never answer calls from unknown numbers!

Leonard went to the kitchen to cook, while Lilia accompanied Mellisa to chat in the living room.

The evening news was being broadcasted on TV, but none of them could draw their attention. Lilia took occasional glances, her eyes were sparkling and a little absent-minded.

She didn't know if her husband was eating right tonight.

With so many things that happened in the company, she didn't want to bother him, but she was really restless.

After fighting with herself for half a minute, Lilia picked up the phone and texted her husband.

Lilia: "Have you eaten?"

One minute, no answer.

Three minutes, no answer.

Ten minutes, no answer.

Lilia put down her phone angrily and leaned back on the sofa.

Mellisa also looked really worried, she watched Lilia's movements beside her. She looked up and raised her eyebrows. "What is wrong with you ...?"

Lilia glanced at her and kept her head lowered then sighed. "It's okay, he's probably busy."

When Lilia thought that her husband didn't rest last night and was busy all day long, she couldn't wait to catch the person in charge of Galaxy Real Estate and whip him.

Mellisa chuckled when she heard it. "Why aren't you so clingy to me before!"

"I'm not like that..." Lilia wanted to explain it, but she felt unconvincing. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she teased her kind sister. "What about you? If you miss Leonard, don't run to me!"

After speaking, the corners of Mellisa's smiling lips merged slightly.

"I don't have time to miss him! Oh yeah, I happen to have something to tell you too," Mellisa hesitated for a few seconds, lowering her lashes to hold back the emotion in her eyes. "In two days, I'll probably go out of town."

Lilia was surprised and frowned. "Why are you suddenly leaving? What's the matter?"

"It's okay, I'm just just going for a walk. I also want to clarify my current relationship with Leonard."

It looked like Lilia was not consumed by her sweet talk, she knew Mellisa didn't want her to worry, but she let her explain again, "There really is something that needs to be dealt with. Recently, my old friend contacted me. They were the ones who ate with me when we first met. Lilia, I think I have to find a way to help them."

Although it sounded cliché, that was exactly what Mellisa wanted to do.

The corner of Lilia's mouth opened a little. She wanted to persuade her, but she felt it was inappropriate.

She didn't know much about what happened to Mellisa in the last five years, but she knew that her friends probably missed her a lot.

Lilia hesitated and didn't speak. Mellisa saw her worried face and couldn't help but pat the back of her hand. "Don't worry, I'll be back after everything is finished!"

"Are you two going to go together?"

Hearing this, Mellisa glanced at the kitchen. She didn't want to fool Lilia, but she answered honestly, "I'll go alone."

"Because he won't agree, right?" Lilia immediately guessed the reason.

Leonard's love for Mellisa was no less than hers.

She didn't believe that Leonard would agree to let Mellisa travel alone.

Mellisa took a deep breath, her expression became lazy. "No problem! I'll still go,"

"But ..." Lilia still wanted to talk but she was suddenly distracted by her phone's vibration.

Jean had replied to her message.

Jean: "Where are you?"

Lilia: "At Mellisa's house, I plan to eat my dinner here :)"

After she answered without thinking, the phone was silent again.

Lilia stared intently at the screen and waited a moment. No new messages came from him.

Did that man want her to send another text?

While still busy thinking about it, the bell on the entrance was ringing!

Lilia glanced at her cell phone then looked at Mellisa. She hurriedly walked into the hallway, and as she opened the door, the man was standing with his handsome face amidst the cold night breeze.

Lilia couldn't help but feel her heart throbbing, she rushed into his arms almost immediately. She lifted her eyes, and starlight fell on it. "Why are you here?"

The man hugged her waist, held her cheek with one hand and kissed her forehead. "I just cooked and I haven't heard from you."

Hearing this, Lilia's eyes were filled with regret. "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you came back? If I had known, I would have been waiting for you at home!"
