This two-story villa was enormous, and there were only four of them. They didn't need to prepare one more villa for them since this one was enough.
Mellisa thought about it, but she didn't realize something was wrong with her thoughts.
Hearing this, Axel smiled and waved his hand. "The master has already arranged it. This villa belongs to Miss Mellisa and the one being repaired there is for Miss Lilia. The old man said that these two buildings are for you and no one should object to it. With this arrangement, you'd better respect the Grand Master's wishes."
He then continued, "You must be tired from the trip earlier. We will prepare a simple meal for you. If you need anything, just press the call bell in the room."
Lilia turned her gaze to the said villa and felt a slight fever in her heart.
Her gratitude was overshadowed by her shock from hearing that the building would be hers. Lilia could only shake her head, she couldn't do anything against her grandfather's wish.
After Axel left, Mellisa and Lilia smiled at each other. "Come on, let's have a look."
The two men behind them were seen slightly squinting, and were only pacing back and forth to follow them for a bit.
The villa had a classical modern design, leaving a great impression as well as a peaceful atmosphere to the eyes.
The living room looked bright with sunlight coming in from the doors and windows. There were no clouds in Jakarta today. This was such rare fine weather.
After Mellisa pulled Lilia into the villa, she walked in the living room before sitting down on the sofa.
At this time, Jean casually stepped onto the stairs across from the living room. Standing on the stairs, he stretched his arms towards Lilia and exclaimed softly. "Honey, come here."
Lilia saw his figure, her heart was burning as she got up and walked to him without thinking.
Mellisa blinked behind her. "What are you doing..."
"Mellisa, come here too," Leonard calmly cut her off.
As soon as Mellisa turned her head, she saw that Leonard was already standing in the corridor on the right side of the living room and stretched out his palm towards her.
These two people…
Mellisa frowned and got up, and when she walked in front of Leonard, she brushed his palm. Her tone was neither cold nor warm when she said, "What are you doing?"
Leonard didn't say a word, he stared at her for a moment then grabbed her wrist and walked towards the bedroom at the end of the corridor.
On the stairs, Lilia grabbed her husband's palm and grasped it, then asked with a smile, "When did you guys discuss it?"
She saw the master bedroom on the first floor, and Jean led her to the 2nd floor. The division of these rooms was very clear.
"Just now!" The man glanced at her and added, "When the two of us were ignored!"
Oh!
Lilia pursed her lips and sneered, she lightly patted his arm. "How could I ignore you? I didn't know you were talking about it, okay!"
She laughed and explained, but when she remembered Stefani's figure, she paused for a moment.
She really didn't know what to call her.
If she called her aunt, it would sound a bit rude.
But if she called her Grandma, it would sound awkward.
However, she and Mellisa knew very well that they might not be able to call her grandmother.
Apart from not knowing what to call her, she still felt that Stefani gave them this kind of prideful look.
Although she seemed to welcome them warmly and kindly, it was clear that she had cemented her identity as the Mistress of the house.
Especially before they left, she also confirmed to them that she had been sitting all morning, which obviously meant something.
In short, Stefani's impression of Lilia was not very good. And it's worse since this happened on the first day arriving at the Mayer family house.
Lilia was brought to the master bedroom on the second floor by Jean.
The bed looked brand new and they had almost everything they needed. She could see that her grandfather had done a lot of preparations to make their stay more comfortable.
Upon entering through the door, Lilia stared at the layout of the room, but she didn't notice the burning darkness in her husband's deep, dark eyes.
When she closed the door, her face was still adorned with cheerful emotions. "The underfloor heating is so comfortable!"
But right after the words escaped her lips, she was pushed against the door and greeted with a hot kiss.
After that kiss, Lilia's cheeks turned bright red.
She breathed a little and rested her head on the man's shoulder as her mouth went numb.
The man hugged her shoulders and sighed as if he was satisfied. "When we return to Surabaya, we will get some underfloor heating for our house."
Lilia's eyes were moist, she punched her husband's shoulder and said, "Now that the four of us live here, aren't you afraid they will suddenly come?"
The man's pupils rolled jokingly, then he gently rubbed his wife's lips with his thumb. "It doesn't matter. I don't care even if they see,"
Lilia was stunned for half a second and fell speechless.
...
Half an hour later, they were back to the living room.
Time felt too short, and since it was still late afternoon, of course nothing would happen.
Still... it's possible to quench thirst with warmth.
It was already past six in the evening when the meeting took place. Lilia and Jean were sitting on the sofa behind the window, while Mellisa and Leonard sat across from them.
The corners of their mouths were slightly swollen. It was no surprise though.
A clean teacup and teapot were placed on the coffee table in front of them, and the kettle buzzed.
After a few seconds of silence, Mellisa played the buttons on her shirt and said in a very flat tone, "Grandpa just called me and said there's a family dinner soon, all the Mayer family members are coming back tonight."
Hearing that voice, Lilia pulled her lips and made no comment.
This was the first time she had come to a strong family residence like the Mayer family, and her complete foreignness made her wary somehow.
Today was Friday, the four of them could understand the busy schedule since most of the Mayer family members held important positions in the Capital.
But the feelings Stefani brought to them were not very sincere.
They didn't know what the rest of the family would be like.
At this time, while they were discussing the next arrangement, a muffled voice suddenly came from the window in the living room of the bungalow.
Lilia was the first to look back, and even though the lights in the room were a bit dazzling, she seemed to catch a figure that was tottering... and crawling out of the grass outside.
Mellisa also got up at the right time, she went to the window to look outside and muttered. "Reynold?"
Lilia was suspicious. "Who is that?"
Mellisa looked at the big boy standing outside the window carrying a school bag. He waved at her and touched his forehead helplessly. "Stefani's son, Reynold. He's 12 years old this year. In terms of seniority, we should call him... Uncle!"
Lilia just gawked, did her sister just tell her that they had a 12 years old as their uncle? Very strange indeed!
The boy outside the window was a little excited. He clutched his school bag behind his back. Before he could wipe the dust off his school uniform, he ran towards the door.
When Mellisa opened the door, Reynold was excited, but his eyes immediately fell on Lilia.
He was grinning so hard he couldn't hide his teeth. He didn't even say hello as he passed Mellisa and stood in front of Lilia.
The young boy was trembling with excitement. "Li ... Lilia ... Lilia Pangestu, hello! My name is... My name is Reynold, I am... your number one fan! Hey, hey, is it true that you have divorced your husband? You have to explain the rumors to me!"
Mellisa and Leonard were stunned.
Meanwhile, Jean's handsome face immediately turned grim....
