My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 96 - Desiring The Present And The Future

Lilia slowly raised her face when she heard Jean's words. The only source of room's lighting was the dim light from the lamp on the wall, so Lilia could only see Jean's dark blue eyes.

Jean sighed and wrapped his arms around Lilia's shoulders. He pulled the woman into his arms. Lilia's scent that smelled like flowers tickled Jean's nose, making the man tighten his embrace.

"Are you not used to sleeping with other people?" He whispered in Lilia's ear.

Lilia buried her face in Jean's chest, "Yes." She replied in a muffled voice.

Jean rested his chin on Lilia's head before asking again, "So you've never slept with your brother?"

The moment he asked that, Lilia's body turned stiff for a moment. Jean wanted to beat himself for bringing up a sensitive topic. As the youngest child, most of Jean's childhood was spent with his siblings. He sometimes forgot that not everyone had a good relationship with their siblings as him.

"…Forget it. Try to sleep." Jean said as he let go of the woman.

Surprisingly, Lilia hugged Jean even tighter, "I don't mind, so you don't have to feel guilty. I was just surprised when I heard that." She said.

Lilia was silent for a moment, as if looking for the right words before starting to tell a story.

"My mother… Sylvia has never liked me as far as I can remember. She always ignores me and only pays attention to Daniel. I always try hard to please my mother, but her attitude remains the same. On the contrary, my brother doesn't do anything for my mother but he can get everything he wants."

Lilia buried her face deeper in Jean's chest, as if trying to escape from her past.

"I hated Daniel to death at that time. Because of that, I was cold to him and tried to keep my distance. I really am a bad sister." She said, laughing softly.

Jean stroked Lilia's hair while answering, "That's normal. It's called being human. I'm sure your brother will understand how you feel when he grows up. If you really are a bad sister, you wouldn't help solve the problems your younger sibling causes."

Lilia chuckled when she heard that. Jean felt the woman's body relax again.

"Jean…" Lilia started, but she immediately stopped her words.

"What's wrong?" Jean could guess that Lilia wanted to ask him something.

However, Lilia withdrew her intention, "Nothing. Good night." She said as she shifted away from Jean.

Obviously, that man didn't let her escape. Jean reached out and cupped Lilia's face. He pulled her closer before kissing her soft lips.

"I told you before, right?" Jean whispered after a long kiss, "If you are worried about something, tell me everything. I will ward off your worry."

Lilia chuckled, and then replied, "I really don't worry about anything."

Lilia was relieved that the lighting in the room was dim. That way, Jean wouldn't be able to see her expression when she told him that lie. Lilia was still thinking about what Sasha said earlier. She wanted to ask who the mysterious woman was, but more than that, Lilia wanted to know if there was still a shadow of that woman in his heart.

Lilia might not be able to have Jean's past, but she wanted Jean's present and future for herself. She really was a greedy woman.

When Lilia heard Jean's sigh, she felt the man's big hand stroking the side of her face.

"You don't have to believe what people say." Jean said firmly, "You just need to trust me, because I won't lie to you."

Lilia's eyes widened when she heard the man's words. Warmth filled her chest, dispelling the feeling of tightness she wasn't even aware of. It turned out that Lilia had let Sasha's words steal her calm. She just refused to admit it because she didn't want to let Sasha feel victorious.

"… Yes." Lilia answered softly.

She did not know whether Sasha's words were true or if they were made up to provoke her. But as long as Jean didn't say it himself, Lilia didn't have to believe it. The negative thoughts that clung to the woman's mind like clouds were swept away with just a simple sentence from Jean.

Lilia smiled broadly and hugged Jean tightly to express her feelings. Now that her worries had disappeared, a feeling of sleep swept over her again. Lilia moved her body, looking for a comfortable position to sleep in.

"Don't move around too much." Jean's deep voice sounded like a warning in Lilia's ears, "Sleep in peace."

Lilia immediately stopped moving, like a wooden doll whose rope had been cut. After a while, Lilia's eyes closed and her breathing became regular. Lilia's sleeping face looked so peaceful and innocent, like a child unaware of the harshness of life.

Jean sighed heavily and stroked the woman's face gently.

After all this time, Lilia still didn't remember it.

That year, the flowers bloomed following the season. In a small alley of an old town, the 10 year old little girl seemed unable to remember the young man she met there.

*****

Two days later, Lilia came to the set of the music video shooting with Harold and Merry. The shooting was carried out in a piano classroom owned by a music university in Indonesia.

Today Lilia would be filming with the new popular singer, Ryan Fever.

Louis Spark, the director for the music video, was known as an A-list celeb producer in Indonesia. Every film he made always featured a famous actress or actor and successfully gained profits. The films he directed were often blockbuster films, so Louis was nominated for best director for the Golden Lion Award abroad.

Lyra Company's influence couldn't be underestimated.The music company that housed Ryan had proven its high reputation for recruiting a well-known director like Louis for their artist's next MV.

Harold accompanied Lilia in the shooting to show Aphrodite Agency's commitment in working together this time. Apart from that, Harold himself also wanted to see Lilia's acting skills.

Even though it had been almost 4 years since her first debut, Lilia had only focused on fashion and modeling. She never once showed any interest in film. As her manager, Harold felt that Lilia was wasting her beauty and talent by just sticking to the fashion world. The man always felt like crying whenever Lilia turned down a role offer in a television series or a movie.

When Lilia arrived at the piano classroom, it was not 9 in the morning yet.

Two days ago, Louis had sent Lilia the script for the music video. The music video told a love story on campus. The two main characters went through separation and reunification until their love finally blossomed.

The song for this music video was the main song in Ryan's third album. The team from Lyra Music Company had been preparing this album for half a year, which only showed how important this music video was to them.
