The man is standing at the door, his pupils constricted around Lilia's body.
After which, his gaze froze angrily at the woman sitting in front of the makeup mirror.
He didn't speak at all, he only looked at the maid sharply.
Perhaps since Jean's expression was too terrifying, the smile on Lilia's face subconsciously diminished a little.
She placed the eyeshadow tray in her hand on the dresser, and was just about to speak, the man had turned and left.
But the words that drowned out the atmosphere had echoed. "Get down!"
Lilia felt her heart tightened, her eyes a little confused. Jean seems angry!
She wanted to chase him, but the person in front of the makeup mirror stood up with a helpless expression.. "Lilia, what happened to Josh? You two had a fight?"
This person came from Parma to meet Lilia— Alice!
Lilia shook her head in a daze. "I- I'll go down first, you better wash your face while waiting!"
Alice wanted to refuse, but she saw Lilia's nervous face and understood the situation a little.
With a smiling face, she decided to listen to Lilia's arrangements.
As Lilia followed downstairs, she was clearly looking very nervous.
She had never seen her husband angry, it seemed like this was the first time.
"Madame, I..."
Mrs. Mei had never dealt with this kind of thing, and felt a little nervous.
She hesitated for a long time, but said nothing more.
Lilia patted her shoulder. "It's okay, this has nothing to do with you. Anyway, can you go to the master bedroom to find something for me? My cell phone seems to be on the bed."
"I'll go now!" Mei quickly turned to the master bedroom.
Lilia walked around the corridor twice alone, and finally mustered up the courage to slowly walk downstairs.
She's not taking her phone beside her tonight.
After five o'clock, Alice and Mei suddenly appeared outside the door together, to her surprise and delight.
The last time they saw each other, it had been for over a month.
Therefore, when Alice arrived outside her house, Lilia remembered her past with great joy.
After dinner, Alice, who couldn't stay still, wandered the villa and finally went to the changing room.
Last time, Lilia gave her a touch up when matching a dress with her at Parma, so as soon as Alice saw her dressing table, she couldn't help but start asking her to help do her makeup.
This also caused her and Mrs. Mei to accompany Alice to the changing room from around six o'clock until Jean appeared.
Lilia didn't know what was going to happen. When she came down, she saw the man standing at the entrance of the living room, explaining something to Clifford.
She didn't hear it clearly, but she felt her husband was saying something like he was giving some kind of punishment.
At this time, Jean heard movement at the top of the stairs and waved his hand towards Clifford before turning around.
Their eyes collided in midair, and Lilia swallowed hard.
She licked the corners of her mouth and barely let out a pleasant smile. "Jean, what are you talking about..."
The man's calm and dark eyes responded.
He looks so angry!
Lilia bit the corner of her mouth and walked down the stairs, and when she walked towards the man, she saw him pass the sofa and head straight to the small bar.
She couldn't help but stop, standing still a little dazed.
In the past, they rarely fought, or almost never fought.
Lilia frowned and walked towards the bar again. After only two steps, she saw that Jean had poured half a glass of wine and drank it straight away in one gulp.
Lilia rushed forward, reached out and hugged his arm, which also prevented the man from continuing to pour wine.
She frowned and asked softly, "What's wrong with you, why are you drinking all of a sudden?"
He loved wine, but Jean had never been drinking this hard before.
Lilia was trying to guess, and after 2 seconds, she guessed a possibility after thinking for a while. "Did you… Call me?"
The man held the wine glass and tightened his fingers slightly. He looked aside and stared at his wife.
From there, Lilia could clearly see his expression almost spiraling out of control.
The man lowered his head and sighed patiently. The scent of wine wafted from his thin lips, his voice hoarse. "Next time, don't leave your phone for too long."
Of course!
Lilia heard these words and knew that her carelessness was causing Jean's unreasonable anger tonight.
She was deeply sorry, then hugged his arm and nodded obediently. "I… Alice suddenly came. I was too happy, so I kept playing with her in the dressing room and forgot about my phone."
Lilia explained seriously, and her beautiful eyes were filled with guilt.
The man sighed and didn't speak, but he still put the wine glass in his hand and pulled her back onto the sofa to sit down.
He thought that even though he was worrying for nothing, he still shouldn't drop his guard.
He had to be stricter to protect his wife.
He thought of all the possibilities when Lilia didn't pick up his call.
He even ordered his guards to check Alfred's movements.
Jean didn't deny that this move was a little malicious, but he had neither the time nor the information.
Dina and Rini and the rest of the second team outside were all brought back by Clifford to receive tonight's punishment.
Their job is to ensure the safety of Villa Lakeside.
If it wasn't Alice who came with Mei tonight, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, the man slowly closed his eyes, covering the cold and dark shadow beneath his gaze.
At this time, Lilia was sitting next to him, feeling his changing mood. She carefully stepped forward and kissed him on the cheek.
Then, she rested her chin on the man's shoulder, her hand wrapped around his arm. "Sorry, from now on, I will carry my cell phone even when I go to the bathroom, okay?"
When she spoke, she sounded a little flirtatious and shook Jean's hand.
But in the end, her heart felt guilty, and she also understood the reason for Jean's tension. Therefore, Lilia apologized honestly, not wanting her husband to fall into tension and tangled emotions.
Hearing that voice, Jean turned his head to look at her, pressed the corners of his lips and withdrew his hand.
Just as Lilia's startled mouth opened slightly, the man immediately encircled her shoulders and embraced her with a hint of strength, revealing an invisible trace of sadness.
His tone was filled with worry as he muttered, "Please don't make me worry!"
Lilia leaned back in his arms and nodded silently.
The tip of her nose faintly smelled the alcohol on his body, and her eyes were slightly sour.
Perhaps what she did really scared him off today.
The woman then dropped her head on his shoulder and said in a dull voice, "Did you think our house was robbed?"
Jean didn't mutter anything in return.
He sighed and stroked the hair on top of her head. His palm slightly tightened. "If it was a thief, I wouldn't be as worried as I am now!"
Lilia raised her head and glanced at him, her eyes flashing.
At this time, Alice, who had washed her face, also appeared on the stairs.
She had been standing in the corner for a while, seeing them hugging and whispering. Her eyes were clearly filled with envy.
However, Josh seemed to be in a bad mood tonight, and he didn't dare delay too long. He coughed and walked down the stairs. "Josh, I never thought that your house here in Indonesia looked so beautiful!"
