At this time, Mellisa's heart was hot, and she looked at the agreement in her hand and said, "So this Genesis Company real estate really belongs to Jean…"
Lilia looked at Mellisa with a slightly moved expression. Her bright eyes answered, "This is his, what's wrong? Seeing your tearful expression, did you think we came here specifically just to send you a cooperation project?"
Mellisa's eyes were soft as she looked at her. She frankly said, "Well, I used to think of it this way."
"How could it be!" Lilia replied with a smile. "Both of us are here for our honeymoon. The purpose of the project itself isn't clear so maybe Jean didn't tell me this. But apparently, my future brother-in-law is good enough to get the cooperation contract. This is really good!"
Lilia praised without hesitation, and caused Melisa to narrow her eyes. "Since you didn't know about this project, how did you know that Leonard had won his cooperation offer?"
Oopsies!
Lilia blinked and brushed the tip of her nose with her finger. "I overheard it when I came here just now."
"Is that true?" Mellisa closed the agreement document in her hand without smiling.
Lilia nodded innocently in response. "Yes!"
In the end, she faintly saw Mellisa's suspicion. She didn't want to waste time on this matter and change the subject. "Sis, it's been more than two weeks since we last met, why do you look even fatter?"
As Lilia spoke, her eyes fell on Mellisa's stomach. It was not an illusion before, and she was sure her sister's stomach was distended.
At this moment, Mellisa lowered her head following her movements, her expression slowed down, and then she said honestly, "Lilia, you… you are going to be an aunt!"
Lilia was stunned for a moment and didn't respond. "Who? Me? An aunt?"
When she finished speaking, Mellisa took her hand and placed it right on top of her stomach, then said with a small smile. "This child belongs to him."
Hearing this, Lilia was stunned!
Her arms trembled, her hands went limp and gently stroked Mellisa's stomach. "Sis, you… Are you pregnant too?"
Melissa smiled and nodded. "More than four months."
Lilia had a hard time holding back when she heard that. She withdrew her hand and held her stomach as she said. "That's good, the two of our children can keep each other company in the future! If you are more than four months pregnant, why didn't you tell me back then? If I found out you were pregnant, I definitely wouldn't let you go so easily."
No wonder she always thought her sister was fat. Apparently, she was pregnant!
At this moment, Mellisa blinked her eyebrows happily, and reached out and flicked her sister's hat. "The important thing is it's not too late to find out."
As soon as he finished, Lilia looked at him with a grin."If I didn't ask, wouldn't you say it?"
Mellisa pretended to be seriously meditating for a few seconds, then she smiled slyly, "No need to ask. In the end, I can't….. hide this belly of mine forever!"
Lilia glanced at her, but she wasn't really angry. Deep down in her heart, she felt pressured by Mellisa's independence.
She could hardly understand her sister's thoughts.
She was even willing to hide her pregnancy when she became her bridesmaid.
Lilia was worried that maybe there's a reason for Mellisa for hiding it in the first place.
The sisters finally chatted and lost track of time. Suddenly, two male figures slowly entered the room.
Lilia smiled and turned her head, looked Jean in the eye, and asked with a tilted head, "Are you done talking?"
In an instant, she looked at Leonard who was wearing a suit, and at that time she greeted cheerfully. "Brother-in-law, it's been a long time!"
The way she called him made Leonard feel very comfortable.
He nodded gently. "It's been a long time since we met. You look good, and you look rounder!"
Mellisa looked straight at Leonard intensely, and this gave Leonard a slight chill.
Lilia stared at him stiffly, and then walked slowly to Jean's side. She naturally took hold of his hand, then said with a serious expression. "Am I that fat?"
Ever since she was pregnant, she had been really worried about her appearance!
At this time, the man held her hand firmly with a bit of strength and brought the person to his side.
He raised his eyes towards Melissa again, and replied calmly. "In comparison, Mellisa is rounder."
Huh? Did he just say my future wife is fatter?! Did this guy seriously have a problem with his eyes?1
Leonard looked at the two people in front of him with a disbelieving expression. He shook his head and sighed. He then glanced at Melisa with a pitiful gaze.
Melissa then glared at him with a sullen face.
The little drama, imperceptibly, also narrowed the distance between the four of them again.
When they left the building, it was almost 12 at noon.
Leonard suggested going to the nearest western food restaurant.
In that case, Lilia and Jean immediately accepted it.
Just like when they were in Jakarta, they got into their own cars and left.
Melissa leaned forward and sat next to the driver, her eyes constantly looking out.
"Don't worry. After arriving at the restaurant later, you can see her however you want!"
Leonard reminded her when he caught Mellisa's movement. He leaned forward to fasten Mellisa's seat belt.
Mellisa turned and almost hit Leonard's chin.
She reached out her hand and pushed him. "I'll do it myself!"
Leonard turned and sat down, but looked sideways at her teasingly. "Why did I think that you turned cold towards me after Lilia came?"
Mellisa looked at him with a smile. "You didn't do anything wrong though!"
The smile on the corner of Leonard's mouth hardened!
Melissa ignored his blunt expression and asked, "When you went next door, what were you talking about with Jean? Did you ask him what will happen to this project?"
"It was just a simple chat. There are some things that don't need to be asked, and we all know that!"
Leonard's deep gaze slowly stared straight ahead, his answer made Mellisa speechless.
She had sensed that Jean's company had indeed prepared it for Leonard.
…
At the Platinum Grill Restaurant, a group of four people came to the open terrace upstairs.
The service staff was well trained and gave them a menu book, and even glanced at Lilia before leaving.
She is a star!
Leonard opened the menu and handed it to the opposite side first. "Look at the menu first. The steaks and seafood at this restaurant are very good."
Jean took it easily, and heard the man ask him again. "How long do you plan to stay?"
Mellisa also raised her head upon hearing the question.
Lilia averted her gaze and thought for a moment.. "It depends, maybe a few days, half a month… I don't know. What does my future brother-in-law think?"
