My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 95 - The Woman In His Heart

Jean's expression turned darker when he heard Lilia's words. His dark blue eyes flashed with rage. If gazes could kill, Sasha would have been stabbed to death by Jean's glare.

The man put his arm around Lilia's waist. He spoke to Sasha in a deep threatening voice, "Since you know so much about this woman I can't forget, why don't you tell me what you know about her?"

Sasha gave Jean a pleading look, but the man didn't move at all to help her. Instead, Jean pulled Lilia closer, insisting that there was no place for Sasha beside him. His movements were so natural and intimate, as if he had done this to Lilia many times.

Sasha lowered her head to hide her tears that started welling up, "I didn't mean it like that ..." She muttered.

Jean's friends including her knew that the man had someone he loved since they were young. When Sasha first found out about it, she was unable to accept it and it took her a long time before she finally calmed her feelings. She thought that as Jean's wife, Lilia would be less likely to accept it?than her.

However, Lilia just acted as if it wasn't a big deal. She showed the confidence of a woman who believed in her husband's love. If Sasha had known that Lilia would react like this, she wouldn't have bothered to tell her. Sasha's biggest mistake was not understanding Lilia's personality.

Jean acted as if he didn't hear Sasha's murmuring. He looked at the woman with an expression of disgust, "I don't want you to be around my wife any longer without my supervision. Keep that in mind, Sasha Hiroshi." Jean said coldly before turning around and bringing Lilia back into the villa with him.

Sasha looked up and watched the couple walk away in burning anger. Jean had never been so cold to her before! All of this was because of that cunning woman—Lilia Pangestu!

Not long after Jean entered the villa, Tom went out to find Sasha. The man looked around the villa and saw a woman standing alone in the front yard. Sasha's body was shaking violently as she bowed her head. Tom didn't have to ask to know that the woman had upset Jean.

When Sasha heard footsteps from the direction of the villa, she looked up with a look of hope. However, the light in her eyes diminished when she saw it was Tom's figure who appeared and not Jean.

Tom almost laughed at the contrasting attitude. He stopped in front of Sasha and studied her for a moment. He sighed when he saw the woman's teary eyes.

"Have you forgotten what you said that day?" Tom asked her.

Sasha frowned, 'When was that day?'

"When we had dinner together at the hotpot restaurant." Tom reminded her when he saw Sasha's confused expression.

Sasha finally remembered that she told Tom that she wouldn't be impulsive anymore, especially in front of Lilia. But it was easier said than done.

Sasha smiled languidly, "Tom, tell me the truth. Do you think… I still have a chance with Jean?"

"Honestly, huh?" Tom laughed dryly, "No, I think. You never had a chance with Jean from the start."

Tom deliberately chose hurtful words because he loved Sasha. He did not want to see her continue to be caught in this futile love.

Sasha's face grew paler when she heard Tom's straightforward answer. Her eyes filled with despair as she turned to the man, "Tom, do you know who this woman Jean has been loving?" Sasha asked straightforwardly.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly asking about that?" Tom stared back at her in confusion. He felt that something was wrong with Sasha, so he didn't answer the question on purpose.

Sasha sighed heavily before answering, "Even though Jean has another woman he loves, he is still married to Lilia. This could mean Jean doesn't love that mysterious woman anymore ... or Jean doesn't really love Lilia. If he only married Lilia because he was forced to.… " The corner of Sasha's mouth lifted into a cruel smile.

Tom became increasingly anxious when he saw the change in Sasha's expression, "What are you planning this time?"

Sasha shook her head, "Nothing." She replied calmly after wiping the smile from her face.

Jean had loved this mysterious woman for 14 years without ever forgetting her. That meant Jean only married Lilia because of someone else's coercion. As long as Lilia wasn't the woman in his heart, Sasha hadn't lost her chance with Jean yet!

"Sasha, don't try to cause trouble for Lilia." Tom warned her in a serious tone, "I'm saying this because I'm your best friend and I care about you. Don't you see how much Jean loves Lilia? He won't just stay quiet if you mess with his wife!"

But Tom's warning was just a mere wind to her ears, "What do you mean? Why would I deal with Lilia directly? That woman won't be able to go against the power of the Hiroshi Family!"

Tom was stunned to hear that, "You plan to use the Hiroshi Family to deal with Lilia?! Are you crazy?!"

When Lilia and Jean returned to the living room, Chris and Alex were still enjoying their wine.

"Hmm? Where's Tom?" Chris asked when he didn't see the man with them.

"He's outside." Lilia replied.

The two of them just ran into Tom at the front door. It looked like the man came out to comfort Sasha, who was left alone in the front yard.

"Oh!" Chris drained the red wine in his glass before placing it on the table. He looked a little drunk, "Let us go home!" He said, patting Alex on the shoulder.

Alex nodded and put down his glass too. The man's face was slightly red because of the wine, but he was still fully conscious. It looked like Alex didn't drink as much as Chris.

"Ah, I'll take you out ..." Lilia moved towards the door, but Jean immediately caught her arm.

"It's too cold for you outside. I'll escort them, so just wait inside." Jean said firmly.

Lilia felt that the air outside was not that cold, but she didn't protest. She knew that the man was only worried about her health. Lilia watched as the three men walked out, followed by the restaurant staff who had already finished their cleaning work.

Lilia sat on the sofa, then her gaze fell on the wine bottle that Chris and the others had been drinking from. The bottle's label spelled 'Lafite', a very expensive red wine brand. Lilia took an empty wine glass and filled it until half-full.

Lilia tried to sip the wine. A strong fruity scent filled Lilia's nose and she could taste the sweet and sour wine. This wine tasted great on the tongue of Lilia, who was a wine enthusiast herself. She shook the glass in her hand and studied the turbulent surface of the wine. The ripples were the same as her current mood.

Sasha's words resounded in her ears.

'There is a woman that Jean has always loved and cannot forget.'

Now that she was alone, Lilia couldn't stop thinking about those words. She wanted to know what kind of woman could trap Jean's heart in such a way that he had not forgotten her for years. Could it be that this woman had a beauty that could steal the hearts of all the men who saw her? Or did that woman have such a pure heart like Mother Teresa?

Or maybe the woman had both?

Lilia was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the sound of footsteps approaching her.

"How much have you drunk?"

When Lilia heard that, the wine glass in her hand was taken by a hand with long, slender fingers.

"Ah." Lilia looked up and saw Jean, who was standing behind the sofa, "I just drank a sip, really." She protested, "This wine is really good."

As someone who loved wine, Lilia didn't want to miss the opportunity to enjoy an expensive wine this good.

"Do you know how hard it is when you are drunk?" Jean asked in a flat tone.

"Ugh…" Lilia shrugged as Jean reminded her of that embarrassing moment, "Just one glass! Let me finish the glass. I promise I won't get drunk, so give my glass back." Lilia reached out to the man while begging like a child whose toy was snatched away, "Please?"

The man let out a deep breath. He couldn't help it if Lilia was looking at him with such a pitiful gaze.

"I won't let you drink again if you get drunk, okay?" Jean returned the wine glass reluctantly.

"Okay!" Lilia replied cheerfully.

Jean chuckled in his delight at the mere glass of red wine, "If you like it, I'll bring you another wine similar to this." He said while stroking the woman's hair.

"Great idea! Then we can drink together when you have time." Lilia chimed in excitedly.

"Of course." Jean nodded. He was willing to do anything to see Lilia's smile.

*****

Lilia could not sleep well that night. The woman had always slept alone, even since she was a child. Because of that, Lilia felt restless when sharing a bed with other people.

Around three in the morning, Lilia woke up. She laid on the bed and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling in confusion. After a while, Lilia realized that she was in the bedroom at the Lakeside Villa.

Lilia turned around and her feet accidentally touched Jean's. Lilia's entire body turned stiff. Her heart was pounding as she realized how close she was to Jean on this bed.

It was their wedding night and Lilia was tense to see what would happen when they sleep together. But Jean just told her to sleep and did nothing. Lilia felt a mixture of relief and disappointment when she heard that.

Lilia shifted her body away from Jean. Her heart was racing and making it even more difficult to fall asleep.

At that moment, Jean suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lilia, "Why are you not sleeping yet?" He asked softly.
