At this moment, Jean's eyes kept flickering with different expressions. The handsome man seemed to have stopped moving. Even if he hid it well, he still couldn't hide the effects of Lilia's question on him.
His Adam's apple rolled gently, his palms that were holding Lilia's cheeks gradually warmed up. Jean lowered his head slightly and his warm breath streamed down Lilia's cheeks.
His tone was slightly hoarse, and with strong emotions he said to Lilia, "Do you really want to have children?"
Jean never asked about this because he knew that his wife was trying to live her career.
He did not want his wife's pregnancy to bring her career to a halt. Therefore, he had never raised this question and buried it deep inside his heart.
And now that he suddenly heard this question from his wife, Jean's heart continued to beat fast.
At this time, Lilia and Jean looked at each other, mutually absorbing the meaning of the woman's words earlier. The two of them then looked a little depressed.
Lilia pursed her lips, she raised her hand and patted the back of the man's hand. "I've decided to have them."
Jean squeezed Lilia's cheek a little too hard, maybe because he was a little too excited.
Lilia felt that her face must be ugly now that both of her cheeks were pinched by her husband's big hand.
Jean let go of his palm and saw a red mark on his wife's cheek. His index finger then crossed Lilia's cheek as he tried to erase the irritated look on her face.
Lilia was still waiting for his answer and the supermodel didn't hesitate anymore. Jean rubbed the corner of his mouth then muttered, "I heard giving birth is very troublesome."
After he finished speaking, Lilia glanced at the man and replied in a determined tone, "I don't care as long as it's our child!"
Her gaze remained calm, but her eyebrows rose with a simple smile.
Bearing Jean's children... She felt that it would only bring her happiness if it really happened.
In the corridor, the man looked at her intently. He touched his wife's brows little by little, feeling nostalgic as his eyes were filled with affection.
Then, someone spoiled their intimate moment.
Chris? leaned against the door's frame while covering his slightly jealous and hurt heart. "Until when do you two want to make out like this? I've been standing here for five minutes!"
He was so pissed off!
At times like this, he missed Merry so much.
But he was utterly helpless!
Lilia listened to Chris' taunts and immediately regained her senses. It was unusual for her to smile slightly and lean on her husband. She then turned to look at Chris as the man was still looking annoyed and said with a smile, "Are you jealous of us?"
Chris bulged his eyes out at that, of course he was jealous!
Why did she even need to ask that? Seeing the couple making out right before his eyes when he missed Merry, how couldn't he get jealous?
Chris just sighed. Before he could answer, Jean immediately took the document Lilia was holding and looked at his friend. "Go back to your room."
Chris blinked, he looked at Jean as he led Lilia to walk past him. The man could only say two letters "oh" before going after them.
His room was not far from Alex's VVIP room. Before leaving, Chris glanced at Alex who had fallen asleep. Then he slowly closed the door and followed Jean.
... ..
Recently, Chris' injuries had improved significantly. However, he had not received his doctor's approval to return home. So, he'd been living in the VVIP room of the hospital just like Alex.
It was already half past ten at night, the three of them were still sitting on the sofa in Chris' room. He puffed on his cigarette while rubbing his fingertips. "I just got a call from Samuel Hiroshi, guess who is with Sasha right now?"
Jean raised his eyebrows faintly, the man then lowered his head and unconsciously grasped Lilia's fingertips.
Chris pursed his lips angrily, his gaze turned towards Lilia. He then said with a smile, "Sasha is with Anthony!"
This sentence was really funny to them.
Lilia's eyes flickered, she subconsciously flicked her fingertips on her husband's hand. "Together…? What does that mean?"
Chris chuckled, but he didn't hesitate anymore. He smoked his cigarette again and explained, "I've got the same reaction just now! Samuel said that when he visited the presidential suite, he ran into them busy having sex! When he found out about it, Samuel was speechless. Indeed Sasha never stops surprising me. She did a lot on her own, and in the end, she chose Anthony! They say they will get married soon!"
Lilia understood Chris' sarcasm, it was ironic.
It seemed that Sasha's struggle to find her husband had come to an end.
While they were engrossed in conversation, Jean suddenly coughed to wake them up. Chris understood what Jean meant and his tone became low. "I just told Tom about the mineral water in the room. He will send people to take samples for inspection. If my guess is right, that water must have been Sasha's doing,"
"Good," Jean replied weakly. "Send me a copy of the results."
Chris nodded, his eyes were darkening. "If that woman did it, what would you do?"
Even though he had known Sasha for a long time, he already thought their friendship was over. Chris didn't want anything to do with Sasha again.
If the mineral water really was Sasha's doing, then that woman would have to pay for what she did to Alex.
As soon as Chris' question was heard, Jean answered in a very cold tone, "After paying Tom's engagement banquet fees with her trust fund, her remaining money will be confiscated by Samuel. Since she will marry Anthony soon, she will be part of the Peter family. Therefore, she no longer needs to be a member of the Hiroshi family."
Hearing this, Chris was quite happy.
He was so happy that he bursted out laughing.
Lilia saw Chris' loose laugh and couldn't help but wonder.
Had Chris gone mad?
Jean was staring at his friend coldly, he did not hesitate to show his disgust at Chris.
At this point, Chris realized that he had probably gone too far. He leaned back on the sofa and gave a thumbs up. "Jean, good job!"
With this, Jean had stripped all of Sasha's power and freedom in one swoop. He really was amazing!
... ..
At 10.30 that night, Lilia and Jean headed for their house.
Although Alex was still asleep, the doctor said that his condition was stable. Since he occupied the VVIP room, there were nurses who always looked after him.
Besides, Chris' room was not far away so it should be okay to leave them.
Tonight, Lilia fell asleep very soundly. Maybe because she had been busy all day long that she fell asleep as soon as she met her bed.
Seeing his wife fast asleep, Jean gently kissed her forehead and looked at her deeply for a moment. After that, he walked towards his study.
When he sat in front of his desk, he lit a cigarette and took a strong inhale.
The darkness of the night behind him brought a sorrowful silence.
After smoking half a stick, Jean picked up his phone and typed in a number.
His tone was cold as he gave his command, "Tomorrow, the news of Sasha Hiroshi's engagement to Anthony will be deployed. Send someone to text the head of the Peter family. Tell him that if his son fails to marry Sasha, the Widjaya family will destroy their family forever."
The man hung up the phone and threw it on the table.
