Vincent's tone is a little disgusting, but he doesn't know that as soon as his voice drops, there's a cut off beep on the line.
He glanced at the phone in astonishment, and nearly crushed it!
Jean hung up on him again!
In the study this late at night, the smell of smoke was overpowering.
The man stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window, his eyes gazed far into the darkness of the night.
In his mind, he couldn't help but remember Enrico who took good care of him.
The pain and suffering over the years had long changed him.
That man rarely received treatment, so it bugged him to think why he suddenly wanted to treat his throat after 10 years?
Vincent clearly said that Enrico had only chosen to treat his throat, but did not intend to treat his other ailments.
.
Very unusual indeed!
...
The next day, Lilia woke up lazily at nine in the morning.
She was awakened by the sound of the doorbell.
The bed beside her was empty. She didn't know when Jean woke up, not even a trace of crumpling sheet beside her could be seen.
Lilia casually stood up while still wearing her nightgown. When she came out of the bedroom, she scratched the hair above her head, as if she had forgotten something.
Of course, three seconds later, her eyes shook and she hurried back to the room.
She forgot to take her phone!
After last night's incident, she now considers her phone as her life!
In the living room downstairs, Alice is seen wearing a pink coat while sitting on the sofa with her legs raised and playing with her cell phone.
Hearing the sound from the stairs, she raised her eyes and grinned. "You're finally awake!"
Lilia stopped, leaned against the stairs and saw the coat that caught her eye. Then shook her head in indescribable words.
This girl always wears colorful clothes, and she looks even darker!
"When are you coming here?"
Alice clicked the corner of her mouth. "I just came."
After she said that, she peeked into the kitchen. "Your husband… Looks like he is cooking."
When he just rang the doorbell of the house, Jean opened the door.
He was indifferent as usual, and as long as Lilia was around, he would always be a stranger and full of ignoring gaze.
However, Alice was surprised because she saw Jean going into the kitchen, then heard the sound of oil in the frying pan.
All of this amazed her.
A man as unreachable as that bright moon, actually knew how to cook and make food.
As Alice burned with jealousy, she couldn't help but feel regretful.
However, many of those feelings had been forcibly suppressed in the depths of her heart and she didn't dare to think about them anymore.
At this time, Lilia heard her reminder, and stopped in a sitting posture.
Then she straightened up and paced up and down, looking at the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there is a little greasy smoke, not choking, but kind of smells.
In Lilia's vision, the man skillfully turned over the scrambled eggs with a spatula. Hearing that voice, he slightly looked away.
"Wake up already?"
Lilia nodded, moved to his side, and looked at him intently and seriously.
Since his eyes were too hot, the man turned his head and said in his soft voice, "What do you see?"
"Of course you!" Lilia stretched out her finger and stroked it lightly on the corner of the man's eye. "Did you sleep well? The corners of your eyes are a little red."
The man poured the scrambled egg from the pan onto the plate, then took his wife's hand and kissed it on his lips. "Don't worry, sit down and eat."
Lilia squirmed at the corner of her mouth, then stopped talking.
At this time, Alice was seen peeking from outside the kitchen. "Have you made breakfast for me?"
Hearing his voice, Lilia and Jean looked back. Lilia saw Alice peeking at the dining table and smiled. "This should be enough to eat all of us."
Jean glanced at Alice with a flat expression. "Why don't you have breakfast at the hotel?"
Alice was speechless.
She pursed her lips, pulled back her gaze from the dining table and looked at the man's face. "Of course I've eaten at the hotel. I just came to the kitchen to tell you that you don't have to prepare my plate. Just continue your cooking, I want to play the game again."
After that, Alice turned and walked back to the living room.
She did have breakfast, but she still had a little hope in her heart and wanted to taste Jean's cooking.
No problem, she might not have any luck today.
Alice returns to the living room with remorse, and when they had their breakfast, she secretly took the phone, turned on the camera, and recorded a short video of the layout of the villa.
Having done this, she returned to the sofa, as if nothing had happened.
..…
After breakfast, Lilia stood up depressed.
She walked over to the man's side, looked at him and contemplated repeatedly. Still, she tried to voice out her thoughts in a difficult tone. "I want to go to Parma…"
As soon as the words came out, the man sharply opened his eyes.
When their eyes met, he understood her doubt and depression.
"Really?" The man raised her hand and gently squeezed her fingertips.
Lilia wanted to nod, but she pulled her lips reluctantly.
Seeing this, the man knew what his wife wanted.
His thin lips slightly pursed as a little smile was overflowing his face, then he pulled her into his embrace. "If you don't want to go, don't push yourself!"
Lilia lowered her eyes to see the figure of the man she loved. She wrinkled the corners of her mouth and said softly, "I just don't want you to worry about me all day! At first, I thought everything would be fine when the problem with Leila was resolved. But I didn't expect Alfred to be a potential danger to our lives."
"I asked Dina last night, that's why I already know everything. You were very worried yesterday, and there must be a reason why you were like that. I've been in touch with Alfred a few times, and I never know what he's going to do. So, in that case, it is better to go to Parma and stay there for a while until things calm down? and wait for everything to pass."
Lilia clearly analyzed the situation at hand.
Her going to Parma will ensure her safety even if she has to be separated from Jean.
Although her heart is reluctant to leave him, playing it safe is also a way.
In fact, this was a decision she had just made when she saw the man's tired face.
This might be called cowardice, but the crux of the matter was that her existence would become Jean's weakness.
If she weren't his weakness, the man wouldn't have been so gloomy last night.
It's not that they couldn't go against Alfred's intelligence, but the other party's methods were mostly dangerous.
She is pregnant right now, and her pregnancy is also being covered up.
At this time, the man calmly listened to her explanation, his brows stretched out and he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, then he said bluntly, "What he's going to do doesn't matter. I was just angry last night because I kept blaming myself for not protecting you in times of need. Alfred's presence didn't scare me at all. The most important thing for me is you."
His words were caring and gentle, they were his most straightforward thoughts.
Lilia's black eyes widened in awe, then she bit the corner of her mouth hesitantly. "Then... What about going to Parma? Should we postpone it?"
