"Mrs. Widjaya, why are you so naughty!" The man tugged at her, hooked her thin waist carefully, and let her sit on his lap.
Lilia was suddenly pulled down, her movements were a little stiff, and she subconsciously protected her stomach as her heartbeat slightly disturbed. "Slow down, be careful with your child."
The man looked at her lower abdomen and narrowed his eyes. One day, this child will be born and beautify his life.
Lilia didn't notice his expression. Then, after shouting, she took his palm and pressed it against her stomach. "Try to touch it, have I become fat lately?"
Oh, getting fat?!
When he touches her, will this man be able to sit still and hide his joy?!
The man let out a soundless sigh but carefully pressed his palm against her. "Just like before, not fat."
"Is it true?" Lilia narrowed her eyes suspiciously. Even though her body had not changed that much, she still felt that her waist seemed to round out.
After a while, she suddenly froze as she wanted to turn around and talk to her husband.
Lilia looked at him with a faint expression, not a word spoken, and was slightly embarrassed.
The man looked into her eyes deeply. "Go to the side and sit down, I'll go to the bathroom."
So she sat on the sofa slowly, looking at the man's slightly raised back. Her beaming eyes couldn't help but be filled with smiles.
The living room felt warm, just like spring.
Lilia sat quietly alone, her eyes swept out the window accidentally, and her mind surged under the soaked sunshine.
She pursed her lips and slowly tightened her palms on the sofa.
Nobody knew what she was thinking, but Lilia's cheeks were so red, and her eyes shone beautifully.
Then she shifted her gaze to look towards the second floor. After making up her mind, the woman then walked slightly upstairs on her sandals.
Her back looked lonely when she walked upstairs.
There was the sound of water in the bathroom. The man seemed to be taking a shower.
Lilia leaned at the door and listened, then rolled her eyes. She hesitated for a few seconds before pushing in.
She wanted to do something... Something that would make her comfortable!
There was only light and thin steam in the bathroom. Of course, Jean wouldn't take a cold shower on a cold day like today, but the water temperature wasn't too high.
Hearing the door open, the man narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are you doing here?"
Lilia didn't hesitate and answered, "Bath!"
Jean. "..."
...….
Then, more than half an hour later, Lilia lay on the bed in the master bedroom staring at the ceiling above her head while thinking about life.
Her mouth tasted so sour..., like very, very sour ...
Jean seemed to have gone to the den to smoke a cigarette.
It was hard for her to make him drop that habit, but she thought that Jean's face was quite cute when she told him to quit smoking.
Especially when...
Lilia was dreaming. The image in her mind was Jean's dazzling handsome face.
Inadvertently, she smashed her forehead against the bedside table as she turned.
"Ughh..." Lilia put her hand on her forehead, rubbed it, and laughed again.
This is the first time!
She rolled on top of the bed, remembering that the man who had been standing by the door for two minutes squinted at her until she smacked her forehead and couldn't help but take a step forward. "What were you thinking? Don't you love your forehead? What if you hurt your eye again?"
Lilia immediately stopped and was lethargic.
The man sat by the bed, pulled out his hand and covered her forehead with his warm palm. Then he rubbed it gently. "You are so sloppy!"
Lilia's face turned bright red!
She raised her arm and lay down before the man's eyes, feeling her body starting to burn.
That's too embarrassing!
When did he come?
Seeing her looking embarrassed, the man leaned over the edge of the bed with one hand and leaned against her ear. Then he whispered hoarsely, "Why don't you speak? Is your mouth... still sour?"
Lilia suddenly had a goosebump from hearing the magnetic sound, her face burning. "I ..."
"BZZTT-"
At this moment, the cell phone that the man put on the bedside table rang.
Upon hearing that call, Lilia immediately pushed him away. "Quickly answer your phone!"
The man's sharp gaze locked onto her flushed cheeks, his wife's lips curled up, but then he smiled, bent over, and pecked her lips.
Jean glanced at the caller ID, and smiled slightly before glancing at Lilia and leaving the master bedroom with his cell phone.
In the study, he closed the door casually. The call was from Kenny.
"President, we just received an offer from the city planning office. Next week, there will be a plot of land near the outskirts of Surabaya. The planning agency intends to bid in the form of an open auction. I just got word that Galaxy Real Estate will be in for this tender too. "
The man narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of interest. "Is the news reliable?"
Kenny coughed." It must be, this is internal information that Oliver gave me. "
Oliver?!
He answered at once and issued his order, "Submit a letter of approval from the company."
"Understood, sir."
After they talked, Kenny paused for a moment then asked with hesitation. "President, when are you going to come to the company?"
"Why? Is there any problem?"
Kenny rubbed his forehead in embarrassment. "That's not the case. It's because ... There are too many documents you need to sign in person. If you don't come, this project will be delayed."
""I'll go there!"
The man hung up the phone. The light in his eyes looked dark!
...
That afternoon, Kenny rushed to the villa to pick him up and take him to the company.
Lilia directly made an appointment with Harold and planned to meet at a restaurant near Aphrodite Agency.
The restaurant is only about ten minutes walk from the agency's office.
Before exiting, Lilia made a special call to Dina. But it seemed the two girls weren't surprised when they heard the news about her return.
On the way, Rini drove the car while Dina sat beside Lilia and continued to stare at her.
"What are you looking at?" Lilia couldn't focus her eyes, so she stood up and looked out of the phone screen.
Dina grinned. "Ms. Lilia, I have not seen you in a while but you have become more beautiful."
"I have not seen you in a while too, but since when did your mouth turn this sweet? Did you do something that you thought would anger me?"
Lilia has no pretense, so when she heard what Dina said, she teased with a smile.
Her joke changed Dina's face. The assistant then shook her head earnestly. "No, I won't do anything wrong again in this life."
Lilia was shocked by her serious look and put her cell phone in her bag. "Don't worry, I'm just joking, you don't need to take it seriously. During my absence, did the two of you hear anything from the Aphrodite Agency? About me? Mili? Or the latest trends in the company perhaps?"
After Rini and Dina looked at each other in the rear mirror, both of them nodded understandingly.
Dina said, "The wind has been pretty steady lately. Since you left, the company seems to be back to normal. Except ... I don't know where the news came from, some said that the company hid you, nothing else."
"As for Milia, since her enthusiasm is very high, it looks like the company is backing her up. Oh, yes, and ... I don't know whether this news is accurate or not. Several senior executives in the company started leaving their jobs. I have heard that it looks like Aphrodite Agency is about to be acquired.. But until now, there has been no specific internal announcement, so it may not be true."
