One year later, mid-July.
This morning, Lilia was shooting a commercial for essence cream on set.
During the pause, Dina sent her cell phone. "Madam, there is a call for you."
Lilia thanked her as she took the cell phone.
Today, all of her work was back on track.
After her comeback on the reality show last year, her popularity continues to increase day by day.
Endorsements, filmmaking, TV series invitations, in short, her business scope is no longer limited to the catwalk.
At this moment, Lilia unlocked the screen, saw the missed call, and dialed the number without hesitation.
Apparently, Chris had called her five minutes ago.
"Brother Chris, what's wrong?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little noisy.
Chris walked for a while before he said, "Are you busy?"
"I'm shooting a commercial, what's wrong?"
Lilia took the water glass that was handed over by Dina as she spoke.
Chris smiled. "It's fine, what time does your shoot finish?"
"About half an hour."
"Then let's have lunch together. Today is Samuel's birthday. I've already called Jean, he told me that he will meet us directly at the Hiroshi family's house later."
Oh, it's Samuel's birthday!
This year, Samuel is exactly 40 years old.
Lilia didn't think much of it, and hung up after agreeing.
...
At the same time, Surabaya International Airport.
In the bustling arrivals hall, a tall and firm figure stood in the crowd, which was very eye-catching.
The women on the way looked in awe from time to time, wanting to get his attention.
This person was Chris.
A light blue shirt accentuated his cool figure, and his slender and straight legs were draped with a pair of jeans.
The young master of the Hartanto family, who was over thirty years old, was always well-dressed.
Not to mention his dazzling cold face, when his face was expressionless, he was full of with a nonchalant and indifferent aura.
At this time, in the noisy airport lobby, Chris put his cell phone in his trouser pocket after answering call.
He raised his hand to look at his watch, then his gaze fell on the plane's landing schedule on the screen.
In twenty minutes, the little girl will be back!
Chris' heart fluttered thinking of her watery face.
Last year, he only went to the United States once.
The little girl's lessons became more and more difficult later on. He was afraid that her presence would disturb her, so he endured the pain of his love sickness and waited until she returned to Indonesia today.
For twenty minutes, Chris remained where he was with one hand in his pocket.
His eyes deeply stared at the exit of the international flight.
As the reminder of the plane's arrival at the airport sounded, his nonchalant expression gradually softened.
At this time, in the direction of the airport entrance, a bodyguard in black hastily walked over.
He stopped in place and looked anxiously, caught a figure standing tall, and quickly walked over. "Young master, Master has an urgent matter for you, you must return now."
Hearing this, the corners of Chris' mouth instantly hardened. He turned his head, narrowed his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "I'm very busy, tell him I can't come."
The bodyguard's eyebrows arched, and his expression was quite confused. So he could only repeat helplessly. "Young master, Master said there is an urgent matter."
"Get lost..." Chris pulled his gaze back from him, looked forward indifferently, and pulled his lower lip carelessly.
Hearing his voice, the guard hesitated for a few seconds, then said again, "Your car is waiting outside the airport!"
"Get lost!" This time, Chris' expression suddenly sank, and his eyes were full of displeasure.
After seeing this, the bodyguard took a step back frantically. He glanced at Chris again, and hurriedly turned around after a few seconds.
He knew very well that this young master never planned to return with him.
After this interruption, Chris' frowning face disappeared when he saw the petite figure in front of him.
Near the exit, Merry was walking briskly.
Behind her were four members of the bodyguards from the Hiroshi family, all pushing luggage carts.
Merry was seen wearing a black short sleeves, paired with a hot pair of short pants, and walked out of the gate with sneakers. Her big black eyes swept the crowd, and she saw the figure of Chris were outstanding.
"Brother Chris…!!"
The little girl screamed and ran.
Standing on the spot, Chris watched Merry's rushing figure with his own eyes, his heart became hot.
There were many people at the airport, and even though the atmosphere was noisy, the little girl's screams still caught the attention of many people.
They saw the little girl dived into the handsome grown man's arms. The two of them hugged each other for a long time without any shame!
At this moment, Merry wrapped her arms around Chris' neck, half hanging on him, and she rubbed her round face on his neck. "Brother, I'm back! Did you miss me?"
Chris put his arm around her small waist with one hand, and put the other in his pocket.
He pressed his handsome face and pressed it against the little girl's cheek, and his voice answered softly and magnetically. "Yes of course."
Merry gladly let him go, and when she stood still she stared with her round and bright eyes. "How much do you miss me?"
How much do you think?
He wanted to pounce on her anytime and no matter where, was that enough of an answer?!
But these words…. Chris had no courage to utter them!
He raised his hand and stroked Merry's head, his thin lips pursed in a smile that could make anyone melt.
This scene made the members of the Hiroshi family's bodyguard team behind them want to poke their eyes out and die on the spot!
The relationship between the Miss and the young master of the Hartanto family…. Should they report the truth to the Patriarch, or should they pretend to be ignorant?!
Merry didn't wait for Chris' answer and she didn't take him seriously.
Immediately, holding the man's wrists with both hands, she leaned forward and looked behind Chris' back. Her mouth suddenly narrowed, and her brows furrowed. "Brother, did you come to pick me up?"
"What else did you expect?"
Merry let go of his hands angrily, then asked, "Where's my father? Where's my mom?"
She's been away for almost two whole years, and her parents haven't even come to pick her up?!
Chris saw her displeased expression, then reached out to pinch her face. "They're waiting for you at home, let's go."
Merry glanced at him, pouting.
But the little girl had a lively nature, and even though she was sulking, she could digest everything in a short time.
When they left the airport, within five minutes, Merry's cheerful voice was heard again. "Brother, Since when have there been such tall buildings?"
"Brother, what cute cafe is that? Did it just open?"
"Hey, isn't that a famous Padang restaurant? I haven't eaten Padang rice in a long time!"
Chris took the time to look at Merry, who was so energetic, with a smile and warmth in? his eyes.
No matter how long she was away, Merry would always be so innocent and childish!
