Rachel walked over to her quietly and pursed the corners of her lips. "Lilia, don't you want me and Alan to be together?"
She thought about this question at lunch, and in the end, she couldn't help but ask it.
Hearing this, Lilia put her phone back in her bag and asked instead, "Why do you think so?"
Rachel flashed a glint of enthusiasm, and the smile at the corner of her mouth narrowed. "The words you said just now, I... just felt that you weren't very sincere. Are you still mad I didn't tell you before? At the Ricardo family's party… I wanted to find an opportunity to tell you everything. But..."
.
Lilia's tone was heavy as she interrupted. "Actually, I don't mind who you choose as your partner. Of course I wish the best for your relationship, and since you chose Alan, I will definitely respect your choice. Why do you think that I'm not sincere enough for you?"
Lilia's pretty face was stained with traces of sadness.
This was probably the first time her friendship was at a stake because of a man.
This wasn't what she wanted to see, but Rachel's question also made Lilia wonder if she really was too suspicious.
But when she had lunch earlier, Lilia didn't even say much except to say her blessing.
Why did Rachel imagine her this way though?!
At this moment, Rachel stared at Lilia's frozen eyebrows and eyes. She was a little nervous, stepped forward and excitedly said, "Lilia, I'm not doubting you, I just… I just hope our relationship won't change, okay?"
She couldn't seem to prove herself with solid evidence.
Rachel hastily grabbed Lilia's wrist. "I really don't doubt you."
Lilia looked at Rachel calmly. It seemed that a lot of things had really changed in just half a year.
She let go of Rachel's hand and took a step back, then asked in a low voice.
"Honestly, who you want to date has nothing to do with me. Since you feel that my words of blessing weren't sincere enough, next time just keep it in your heart."
There's no denying that Lilia wasn't happy with her.
Sometimes, being a good person might be a mistake!
She really shouldn't have gotten entangled in Rachel's relationship, after all, she's an outsider!
"Lilia..."
Rachel was shocked, she tried to make amends, but she didn't know where to start.
At this moment, Lilia looked at her and saw her clothes as she looked down.
She hadn't watched her carefully before, but now she focused her attention and found that the clothes Rachel was wearing were the new spring collection from a famous brand.
Maybe her relationship with Alan had improved her quality of life.
But Lilia didn't like Rachel's heart that kept doubting everyone...
She suppressed her thoughts and looked at her with a quiet smile. "There's something I have to do, I'll go first."
Rachel stared at her back as she turned and left, but the words froze in her mouth.
She stayed there for such a long time, until her eyes hurt, then she looked back.
Rachel sighed softly, just feeling a little guilty. She obviously didn't say anything.
Thinking of this, she pulled out her cell phone and dialed Alan's number.
It took a long time to connect, and once it did, Alan sounded that he had just put himself into a deep sleep, and his voice sounded lazy. "What is it?"
"I've finished my dinner, would you pick me up? "
"No, you go back alone, I have something to do!"
Rachel asked disappointedly, "Then where are you, can we meet?"
Alan was silent for a few seconds, then rejected her out flat. "Later!"
When he suddenly hung up, Rachel froze on the spot. She didn't know if she was hallucinating or not, she could faintly hear an unusual breath.
She bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself to calm down.
Maybe the man was busy, or maybe he was dealing with something really troubling.
Rachel lowered her hands in loss, then looked up at the sky. The misty color was just like her mood.
...
After Lilia left the restaurant, she saw that the car that had come to pick her up was already at the intersection.
Dina was standing by the car and waiting for her. "Madam, are you finished?"
"Alright, let's go back home!"
After getting into the car, Lilia sat and stared at the window. The changing scenery of the street outside the window exactly matched her slightly ups and downs mood.
After a while, she temporarily suppressed the sadness that Rachel brought to her, pulled out her cell phone from her bag,? and called Mellisa.
The first time she tried, no one answered.
Lilia didn't give up, she rubbed her screen a few times, and called her again.
About half a minute later, the call was finally picked up.
"Lilia? What's wrong?" On the other side of the phone, Mellisa's tone was a little worried.
Lilia listened to her strict tone and smiled calmly. "It's okay, I called you because I missed you, how are you?"
Mellisa couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she answered. "Hahaha, unfortunately I don't believe that. You must have something in mind, don't you? What do you want to say?" She taunts her silently.
Lilia, who supports Leonard x Mellisa. "..."
Why has this big sister become so smart!
She pursed the corners of her mouth, and hesitantly said, "Your guess is right! Actually, I wanted to say..."
"If it's related to Leonard, you don't have to say it!" Mellisa's tone instantly became much lower and colder.
Lilia choked, her brows furrowed slightly. "Sis, was there a misunderstanding between you two? When you came back, didn't you hear that he had been locked inside his house by his family? And… he seemed to be very down."
"I know!" Mellisa licked her lips "More than that, he seems to be getting married, don't you know?"
Lilia was so shocked!
Her sister knew?!
Jean promised that he wouldn't reveal the news to Melisa beforehand.
Could it be… Leonard said it himself?
But that's impossible.
Melissa heard the silence on the phone, then let out a smile, "Lilia, you don't need to worry about my business with him. Since he's getting married, do you think there's still a chance for him to be with me?"
"How come you know he wanted to get married?"
Lilia asked excitedly, but Mellisa smiled casually. "I was worried about his condition and had asked my friend in Bandung to see his condition for me. It didn't take him long to find out his condition, because everyone had discussed this marriage issue. If you go to Bandung, you will understand because this is a big thing over there!"
Damn! Does the news really spread that fast?!
Lilia's heart sank, and she intuitively felt that things were out of control.
"Sis, since you didn't hear it directly from brother Leonard, do you want to..."
Before those words ended, Mellisa cut her off. "Lilia, I saw all the photos of his fiancée and the pre-wedding photos they took together, do you think I should go to him and ask again?"
Mellisa sighed again, and said to Lilia in a voice that couldn't be disputed, "This is the end of my relationship with him. Lilia, you don't have to worry about unimportant things like this. When I jumped out of your house that time, I already severed my relationship with him! Now he is him and I am me, and our relationship ceases to exist!"
