Lilia's eyes widened in shock when she heard the news. Tom and Sasha getting engaged ?! Lilia looked at Tom in amazement. She saw that the man's eyes were full of smiles, but he was very serious and hopeful. That gaze convinced Lilia that Tom wasn't kidding.
It's just that Sasha is an arrogant woman who still thinks about other people's husbands to this day. Will she be willing to be engaged to an innocent man like Tom?
Truly extraordinary!
Lilia fell silent and looked at Sasha closely. He hasn't been in Surabaya for the past half month, so he doesn't know what's going on between Tom and Sasha. But Lilia knew the character of the two people. If Sasha didn't agree to it, this engagement could never have happened, no matter how much Tom loved her. What else was Sasha planning to do now?
While Lilia was in deep thought, she happened to see Tom whispering intimate in Sasha's ear. Tom's expression was very affectionate, and he even kissed her on the cheek. Tom was very calm, while Sasha seemed cautious and ... disgusted.
Lilia hid her smile. What an interesting combination!
At this moment, Harold was unable to understand the intricacies of the relationship between the three of them. So he could only sigh in annoyance and start wiping his pants with a tissue.
The four of them fell silent and each one was busy with his own thoughts.
After a while, the atmosphere felt even more awkward. When Tom saw that Lilia had no intention of speaking anymore, the man scratched his head and broke the silence. "Sis Lilia, how about this? I'll buy you a new coat this afternoon, okay?"
Tom's compromise made Lilia frown in disgust. He didn't hate this young master before, but now ... what Tom was willing to do to Sasha seemed even more absurd.
But before Lilia could answer, she was overtaken by someone.
"No need."
These words came from the stairs not far away. Lilia turned her head in amazement, and the male figure who appeared from the direction of the stairs looked very impressive. All resentment that enveloped Lilia's heart immediately vanished, like a wave sweeping the beach.
Without thinking, Lilia got up from her chair and walked towards the man. Her voice softened automatically as she asked, "Jean, why are you here?"
Right after Lilia spoke, she saw a man's coat of the same color hanging on the man's sleeve. Lilia's expression froze automatically. How did Jean know that her coat would get dirty today? Could that man be a psychic?
Jean's gaze swept across Lilia's body from top to bottom. He studied the stain on Lilia's coat for a moment, then his gaze was fixed on the wound on the back of the woman's hand. His expression turned frightening for a moment, but Jean immediately controlled himself.
"Replace your dirty coat with mine." Said Jean briefly.
Before Lilia could respond, Jean had reached out and gently took off Lilia's dirty coat. The man didn't seem to care that they were standing where other people could see them.
"J-Jean, I can do it myself ..."
Jean ignored Lilia's weak protests and put on the coat he brought to his wife. Jean bent over to match the large man's coat with Lilia's slender body.
The fourth son of the Widjaya Family always looks arrogant and cold. But Jean can do the most ordinary things for his beloved woman.
In Sasha's view, all of this had jeopardized her dignity.
In Harold's view, this sight was both enchanting and enviable.
Meanwhile, Tom gripped Sasha's chin firmly and forced a hard kiss on her lips. Then he whispered a warning in her ear, "Don't look at it. Didn't you promise me that you would forget Jean?"
Sasha panicked at the same time angry by Tom's actions. She wanted to push Tom away, but she was afraid that her actions would be seen by Jean. When Sasha managed to free her chin from Tom's grip and turned around, the man walked over with Lilia.
Sasha's face turned pale and her eyes filled with panic.
"J-Jean, why did you come here? How about your job?" In his panic, Sasha asked the first question that came to mind.
Lilia didn't say anything, but her gaze fell on Tom who was standing by Sasha's side. Because of that man's relationship with Jean, Lilia chose to keep her opinion to heart.
At this time, Jean ignored Sasha's question and threw Lilia's coat at Tom casually. Then he leaned forward and picked up the leather bag placed on Lilia's chair. Jean's dark blue eyes flashed sharply as she caught Tom's guilty expression.
Jean said in a cold voice, "It's really embarrassing for a man to interfere in a dispute between women."
Looks like this is a personal warning for Tom.
Tom caught the mantle out of the air, and his irritation flashed across the handsome face. "Bro, I ..." Tom opened his mouth to argue.
But the man did not give him a chance to explain. Jean embraced Lilia and swept his gaze across Sasha. Then she looked back at Tom, her eyes looking like the frozen surface of the sea.
"Since you are planning to get engaged, take good care of your woman." Jean's remark implies that Tom needs to control Sasha so as not to create a bigger mess.
From start to finish, Jean's eyes never stopped on Sasha's body. This made Sasha feel embarrassed because in Jean's eyes, she was not as important as Lilia's clothes.
Jean took Lilia and left the restaurant. Before leaving, the man nodded curtly at Harold in greeting.
After the two of them left, Sasha pushed Tom's arm away with a trembling breath. He glared at the man with anger burning in his eyes.
Harold saw the interaction between the couple like an audience. He stared at his pants which had been wiped clean before slowly getting up. Harold threw his napkin on the table, then gave Sasha a condescending look.
"Miss Sasha, if I were you, I would at least appreciate what is in front of me." Harold felt sorry for Tom, so at least he gave that advice.
After speaking, Harold left with big strides. His mood was very ugly because the lunch he had been waiting for was ruined by that woman.
*****
Everyone left one by one from the restaurant. Now only Tom and Sasha are still standing there.
Tom took a deep breath. She tried to control her emotions, but Sasha's angry eyes ignited her. Without thinking, Tom said, "Are you happy now? When you are looking for trouble with Lilia again and again, what are you trying to achieve? Don't you see that you only cause trouble for the people around you?"
Tom was so carried away with emotion that he didn't realize that his voice was getting higher and higher.
"What Jean said was true. Since you already agreed to get engaged to me, can't you give me your mind and heart? I will give you greater happiness than what Jean can give you! "
Sasha stared at Tom stubbornly. She didn't say anything, but in her heart she was becoming more and more unwilling to look at Tom.
This is the chasm that separates Tom and Jean. What Sasha wanted was a kind and proud man like Jean. She could only look at Tom like a brother.
However, this engagement still has to go on. If not, how could Sasha carry out her plan ?!
