My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 575 - A Sister’s Worries

"The taller she stands, the harder she falls. This illusion will make her proud for a while. I was still hurt back then, so I didn't have to settle accounts with her."

"Now, even though she's quite popular, she doesn't have any sufficient spirituality. At best, she could be considered an internet celebrity who had entered the entertainment industry half-assed. If the Ricardo family wasn't backing her, that woman wouldn't be standing where she is now."

Lilia was analyzing the situation calmly while thinking about how she could face Milia head-on.

At this moment, the man was silent for a few seconds. "Then, has Harold told you about his relationship with Milia?"

After she heard it, Lilia stopped her hands from putting the cup closer. "Him and Milia?"

The man nodded, and the smile at the corner of Lilia's mouth gradually narrowed.

In an instant, everything seemed clear.

No wonder Milia was after her. It turned out that everything was about Harold.

"Were they ever together?" Lilia asked. She was also trying to remember Harold's attitude towards Milia.

Now that she thought about it, she remembered that Harold openly talked to her about his dislike as well as deliberate avoidance towards Milia.

The man didn't hide it, and so Lilia just concluded the relationship between the two of them.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

One-night love was indeed a common thing in today's society. But who would've thought that the 'love' lasted more than one night?

...

At nine in the morning, Jean went to the study so Lilia took the opportunity to head over to the house next door.

Nobody was told about her return yesterday.

Just like when they left, no one knew where she and Jean had gone.

At this time, she thought of seeing Mellisa next door to tell her about her next plan.

When Lilia went to knock, Leonard opened the door for her.

He saw Lilia through the videophone and looked momentarily stunned. Then he quickly opened the door.

He was shocked. "When did you come back?"

Lilia stood in front of the door and looked at him, laughing. "Last night."

"Your eyes..." Leonard looked into her eyes sharply, they were as clear as water.

Did this mean she was cured?!

"My eyes are okay, what about Mellisa?"

Leonard was probably too excited. He opened the door in his pajamas and chatted with Lilia, but he forgot to invite her in.

Hearing her question, he quickly turned around. "Probably still asleep, I'll wake her up..."

Before Leonard finished speaking, he raised an eyebrow. "No, you better wake her up. She's in the second master bedroom upstairs."

Lilia nodded, feeling really weird. And this feeling didn't go away until he stepped into the living room.

This...

As she crossed the living room to go upstairs, she unexpectedly found that there were pillows and blankets on the sofa.

Leonard walked behind her and cleaned everything in a hurry. Lilia's lips pursed, and she could only force herself to smile. Then, she went upstairs without speaking.

It seemed that the prospective brother-in-law had been having a hard time lately.

He was kicked out to sleep on the sofa!

But there were many rooms in the villa, why didn't he choose another room? Why did he have to sleep in the living room?!

Then, when Lilia walked up the stairs and saw that every door on the second floor was tightly closed, she vaguely concluded.

Her sister probably locked all the doors and hid the keys.

She came to the door of the second master bedroom and knocked lightly on it.

Lilia didn't know what her sister would look like when she suddenly appeared.

One second later, a loud, snapping voice came from inside. "Go!"

Lilia was stunned. Her sister might think of her as Leonard.

She giggled and kept knocking hard on the door.

"Go or I'll beat you up…" Mellisa's voice was hoarse as she growled.

Lilia was very curious, what could've her future brother-in-law done to make her sister so angry?!

Inside the door, Mellisa's hoarse scream made Lilia's grin even wider.

She raised her hand and knocked on the door again. Then the door suddenly opened the next second, showing Mellisa's angry cheek.

Wow, there were many kiss marks on her neck!

Mellisa had absolutely no idea that the person she met when she opened the door wasn't Leonard.

She was so angry that when she saw Lilia, she immediately froze in her place.

"You ..." Mellisa was stunned. She stepped forward, opened her mouth for a long time without saying a word.

She had waited for a long 27 days. Was her sister finally back?!

Lilia saw her sister's face was filled with uncontrollable joy. She stepped forward and embraced her. "Sister, are you surprised to see me? Sorry, I was late to inform you."

Mellisa felt her sister's warm embrace was real. She tried to calm her breath so that she wouldn't have to cry.

Finally, her sister arrived home!

She hugged her back and her tone was hoarse as she said, "Your eyes... No, are you alright?"

Mellisa had been shutting herself up in her room these past few days, waiting to hear from Lilia.

Even though her sister would occasionally send a few words, she knew her sister very well. Lilia never told her the bad things. She always said the good things so that she wouldn't worry.

Now that Lilia was finally here, she didn't want to let go of her. If her younger sister really needed it, she would even give her her cornea.

Unexpectedly, she came back.

Lilia let go of Mellisa and squeezed her cheek. "It's okay. Sorry for making you worry!"

Mellisa gritted her teeth, raised her hand to look at her sister's eyes, and rubbed her cheeks casually. "I ... I always pray that you can get through this ordeal, thank goodness you're fine!"

The two sisters were standing at the door, and the atmosphere was calm and touching.

At this time, Leonard shook his head as he leaned against the wall at the corner of the stairs ahead. His words interrupt their intimate moment. "Help me persuade her, she's refused to come out these days. She's not even eating her food. Now, get her down to eat."

When Leonard's voice was heard, Mellisa's face immediately sank.

She gave him a blank glance, then pulled Lilia into the bedroom and slammed the door shut with a bang.

Leonard was at loss for words.

Inside, the windows were wide open, and it was a little cold.

There was an ashtray on the window sill, and half of the unfinished cigarette was still exuding white mist.

Mellisa suddenly thought of something and her face changed drastically. She hurriedly put out the cigarette and opened the row of windows beside her.

"Come on, let's go next door." Mellisa unconsciously pulled Lilia out.

Lilia teased her back. "Then how about we go downstairs? I haven't eaten earlier, let's have breakfast together!"

She didn't know what exactly had happened between Leonard and Mellisa.

The reddish marks on her sister's neck were quite visible, and to her surprise, this was the first time she saw her like this. She felt that Mellisa might've been troubled by it.

Mellisa could ignore Leonard, but she always followed Lilia's words.

Three minutes later, Mellisa changed clothes, and the two sisters came to the kitchen.

Breakfast was already served at the table, Leonard was also there sitting on one of the chairs while talking on the phone.

Seeing their figures, he said in a deep voice, "You guys eat first, I'll be back later."

Back?

Lilia knew Leonard's identity. He was a member of a big family in Bandung.

The specific details were unclear, but listening to what he had to say, could it be that the man intended to return to Bandung?

Lilia couldn't help but glance at Mellisa with a cold expression. And while she was still thinking, her sister pulled her over to sit at the dining table.

She didn't pay attention to Leonard from the start. Mellisa put the plate in front of Lilia and poured her a glass of juice before asking, "Where have you been all this time?"
