The man brought Lilia inside to sit down. His eyes darkened as he asked slowly, "Did you meet Alfred on the street?"
Sure enough, Jean knew about the incident!
Lilia didn't hide it, she nodded in response. "Not only did we meet, his car suddenly appeared and we crashed it!" After that, Lilia smiled slyly, like a little fox. "Did Rini tell you? When Alfred called, she seemed to have lowered her head a little."
"Yes." The man answered and asked, "What did he say?"
Lilia sat down and put the leather bag on the sofa, turned her back to the man to unbutton his coat, then recounted in a light tone. "He said that I should pay more attention to my body. The first pregnancy is always difficult and life is not always easy…"
Behind her, the man was expressionless. When Lilia saw him, she tugged at the corner of her mouth and spoke of her own feelings, "I probably wouldn't have thought too much about this kind of thing if I had brought it up in the past. But now, listening to his words, I always felt that he had something under that mask. Besides, how did he know about my pregnancy?"
She didn't say anything to anyone about her pregnancy except to Chris and Harold who were in the hospital at the time.
Does Alfred know from her two best friends Vivi and Rachel? No, that can't be!
The Mayer family? But they are not in Surabaya.
As for the hospital, she was confident that Jean would take precautions.
It's just that, it happened at the Surabaya Central Hospital… So she wasn't sure.
Even if she was deliberately hiding it, it was impossible for people who should know about her pregnancy to hide it.
Lilia turned away from the sofa and ran towards the man, slowly sinking herself into his embrace. "In your opinion, am I thinking too much?"
"Not really!" The man held out his hand to her.
Lilia walked forward and placed her palm on his, her face slightly dewy. "I don't know why I think too much about it. But if I don't think about it, I'm afraid that Alfred will attack our child later. If that happens, I will definitely fight him no matter the consequences."
Hearing this, the man smiled. Then he pinched the tips of her tiny fingers, and his magnetic voice soothed her, "If he dares to do that, he will become the enemy of the whole world! Rest assured that his goal is not you!"
Lilia smelled something odd. "How are you sure you say it? Is ... Is that another old grudge?"
At that moment, the man looked at her suspicious cheeks for a moment, then sighed and answered honestly, "Exactly, it must be an old grudge between the Widjaya family and the Ricardos."
Lilia is stunned!
She thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect this one at all.
How did the Widjaya family in Surabaya and the Ricardos in Yogyakarta get involved in an old grudge?!
Lilia tried to think. "What kind of grudge is it that Alfred risks so much trouble for it?"
The man lowered his eyelids, his handsome face coldly stared at her. "It's about human life."
"What?"
"Alfred's real father had a very close business relationship with the Widjaya family at that time."
The man pulled Lilia into his arms. "Unfortunately, he and my parents and my brother died in a plane crash together."
Lilia opened the corner of her mouth in amazement. "Alfred's real father..."
The man nodded and looked out the window. "Alfred's father was also on the same plane during the accident."
Lilia fell silent.
So this was it!
Lilia thought of several possibilities, she raised her eyebrows and sneered, "So he's dealing with us like this now… Is he trying to get revenge on his father?"
The man pursed his lips and smiled. "I can't rule out this possibility!"
Lilia then replied, "But your parents and brother also died in the plane crash, and he can't blame the Widjaya family! Accusing without solid evidence is a crime!"
The man sighed, he looked back and took his hand to cover his wife's stomach. He changed the conversation. "Do you remember the advice I told you before?"
"Which one?" Lilia asked rhetorically.
"Staying in Parma!"
After the words came out, she nodded calmly. "Sure… You want me to go to Parma now?"
The man's eyebrows tightened slightly, and a trace of complexity appeared under his eyes. "I do have this idea, but it all still depends on you. If you don't want to go, I won't force you."
The topic seems a bit heavy.
Lilia stared closely at the man's cheek. She stepped forward and approached him, her voice soft. "Are you worried that Alfred will target me?"
"Most of his moves are not that clever, but they are downright evil. Today, his words to you may be a warning to me."
Alfred sent his warning through his wife because Lilia is currently carrying his child in her womb, implying that their life won't be peaceful.
It was very possible that Alfred was targeting this child!
Lilia's heart froze, and her pretty face was covered in frost. "I can be sure that he'll always haunt us after this."
Obviously, her words implied that she didn't plan on going to Parma for a while.
She did not feel that she was so incompetent that she needed to go into hiding to care for her child.
"Aren't you afraid?" The man's thumb calmly rose to her cheek, gently caressing her soft skin.
Lilia smiled faintly, then shook her face and rubbed her hands. "What is there to be afraid of? You are by my side!"
"Hmmm…" The man's gentle laugh overflowed from the corner of his mouth. "It seems that Mrs. Widjaya trusts me a lot, but I will definitely not disappoint you!"
Lilia stretched out her hand to wrap around his neck. "No matter what he wants to do, we will face it together. I will be careful, and when I go out in the future, I will make sure that Rini and Dina follow me. As for you, let Clifford accompany you. If not, I will ask your brother to send some more bodyguards. We can't be caught off guard and we must pay close attention to Alfred's dangerous tricks."
The man's eyes were deep, there were some things that didn't need to wait for the other party to take action.
...
The next day, Sunday, at 10 am, James and Irene arrived at the Lakeside Villa.
Three cars were seen parked in front of the villa, then the couple got out of the middle car.
James turned his head to see the bodyguard. "Take everything in the trunk."
"Yes sir!"
While standing at the front looking around, James muttered in disgust. "This place looks so ordinary. In a few days, I have to bring Lilia back to the old house to raise the baby."
Irene glanced at him. "Watch your words! Don't you dare to do it without discussing your brother first!"
Hearing this, James immediately shut up!
If he could negotiate with that little brother of his, would he still be complaining in secret?!
Coming here today, he only had a few things to talk about with Jean!
At this time, Lilia, who had been waiting at home for a long time, happily opened the door to welcome them into the living room.
Mei was enthusiastically serving melons and fruits.
As for Jean, he is still in his study.
"Lilia, let me see you!"
Irene walked into the living room and looked at Lilia carefully.. Then she sighed with emotion. "Good, this kid will be so strong!"
