Perhaps since he had found the light of life, Tom downloaded several job searching applications at Vivi's suggestion. He then sat in the living room to learn about what the market needed.
Vivi accompanied him for a while, and a message came into her cell phone.
She opened it and saw that it was from Lilia.
Lilia : Vivi, are you going to work tomorrow?
Vivi : Yes, have you returned from Jakarta?
Lilia : I just came back this afternoon. Then, I will wait for you to finish work tomorrow, I brought a lot of souvenirs for you!
When Vivi saw the message, she couldn't help but smile. She then sent a lot of stickers.
Vivi : I can't wait to see them! By the way, isn't your husband angry that you bought a lot of souvenirs?
The other side hadn't replied for a few seconds, but then a message came : A little!
Vivi got goosebumps somehow.
She held her phone and curled her lips. Her gaze just swept across Tom who sat next to her, then straightened her face as she looked at the screen again.
Lilia : Lilia, I want to ask you something about the Wibowo family. What happened to them?
Lilia answered within seconds: What happened to the Wibowo Family?
Vivi clicked her tongue silently and then chose to get to the point.
Vivi : Haven't you heard the news about the bankruptcy?
After sending this text, Lilia didn't answer for a long time.
A drum was playing in her heart, maybe Lilia didn't know the news?!
Could it be that the Wibowo family intentionally prevented this news from circulating?
Just when Vivi was nervous, there was a vibration from her cell phone.
It was a call from Lilia.
Vivi glanced at Tom, who was concentrating on finding work, blinked slightly and went to the bedroom.
She closed the door and walked to the window, then calmly answered the phone. "Hello, Lilia..."
On the other end, Lilia chuckled and asked, "Who told you that the Wibowo Family went bankrupt?"
Vivi blinked. "Tom!"
After those words fell, Lilia's smile grew bigger.
"What is it?" Vivi finally realized something was wrong, and asked angrily, "Is his family really broke? Is Tom playing with me again?"
Hearing that voice, Lilia glanced at the man beside her. After turning on the handsfree, she asked instead, "What did Tom tell you? Are you with him?"
Vivi didn't mean to hide it, so she told her directly that Tom lived with her.
Hearing her explanation, Lilia's heart became clear. "Is that so!"
"Lilia, tell me! Is his family really bankrupt?" Vivi asked, feeling her eyes hot!
If Tom dared to play with her, she would not hesitate to kick him out!
When Lilia faintly heard Vivi's angry voice, she calmed her friend down by explaining, "It's Tom who went bankrupt, not his family!"
This answer made Vivi unable to understand it for a while.
Lilia thought for a few seconds, and continued, "Okay, I will go to your company tomorrow morning to explain in detail."
Vivi furrowed her brows and looked out the window, sighing. "Okay, then see you tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Lilia turned to look at the man and sighed with a smile. "It seems Tom is not stupid, he is very smart to run to Vivi. And... he is very good at making excuses and telling Vivi that his family is broke!"
At this time, Jean's thin lips slightly tilted, and he shook his head coldly. "He hasn't progressed all this time. As you know… only hard times produce strong people!"
Lilia took the teacup from the table and handed it to the man. "I think that will be enough. This incident will definitely hit Tom very hard. His family and brothers have exiled him. If he still can't see the truth, his father will surely be disappointed!"
The man and Lilia looked at each other. After receiving the slightly hot teacup, Jean squeezed his fingertips and rubbed the cup twice. "His father doesn't really care about him, but it's up to Tom whether he can make any progress or not."
Lilia blinked when she heard it. "I think..."
"Ma Ma…."
But before she could finish speaking, a soft call came from the stairs.
Lilia followed the voice, pursed her lips and smiled. After standing up, she threw away the man's hand. "Did you just wake up?"
Lian, who was already three and a half years old, nodded and ran to Lilia while opening his small arms towards her. "Hug…"
Lilia bent down and hugged him, then kissed his chubby cheek. "Are you hungry?"
Lian hugged Lilia's neck while shaking his head. At the same time, he made a complaint in his small voice. "Mama didn't sleep with me… I won't sleep next time!"
Lilia was surprised, and laughed. "Okay, I'll sleep with you later!"
Jean, who was sitting on the side holding the teacup, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lian. He calmly taught him, "Lian, learn to sleep alone!"
Lian subconsciously grabbed Lilia's neck. He replied in a low voice, "Papa is also a boy, papa also has to sleep alone!"
In the living room, silence spread...
Lilia watched this scene with astonishing tears. She met Jean's pupils and smiled. "Well, Lian is right!"
After seeing this, the man put down his teacup unhurriedly. He stood up and walked slowly to Lilia then immediately reached out to take Lian from her arms.
Lian thrashed, still wanting to struggle, but when he met the man's gaze, he quickly calmed down.
He opened his big black eyes and met his father's gaze. Then he reached out his fat hand and patted his face. "Papa, grandpa said… getting angry will make you old quickly!"
"I am not angry!" The man curled his lips slightly, pulled his son's little hand and squeezed it. "You have been in the house for too long, do you want to meet your uncle?"
At this time, Lian stretched out a finger and scratched his cheek, then nodded after thinking about it. "I miss uncle!"
"I will send you to your uncle's house tomorrow, you can stay at his house for a few days."
When those words were finished, Lian nodded and smiled. He then clapped his hands excitedly and glanced at Lilia. "Mama, we can go see uncle tomorrow!"
Jean. "?"
He narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows."Your mother is not leaving!"
Lian instantly stopped from clapping. "Why?"
The man leaned back slightly, pulled away, and looked at him. "She still has work."
Lian looked at the man suspiciously, his little mouth flattened.
When Lilia saw Lian's complaint, her heart felt tender. Just as she wanted to come forward to persuade him, Lian struggled to break free from the man's embrace.
The little man kicked his father's leg lightly without saying anything and ran upstairs. Lilia wanted to follow, but she was caught by Jean. "No need to go, let him calm down!"
Lilia stretched out her hand, patted him on the shoulder and smirked. "Don't scold him, he's still a kid!"
Hearing the voice, the man's cold eyes revealed a hint of dangerous dark light. He lightly squeezed her waist and bent her body. Then he whispered in her ear. "No matter how old he is, you can't let him latch himself onto you every day!"
Before Lilia could answer, the phone in the man's pocket rang.
He took it out and saw that it was his older brother James.
When the call connected, James said in a warm tone, "Lian just called me and said he missed me. He is so cute…! Jean, let your maid clean the room for me, I will go to your house tomorrow and stay for a few days!"
