My Supermodel Wife

Before Nora could recover from the shock, Lilia had hung up the phone. Nora's face turned deathly pale. She lunged at Lilia with her hands raised while shouting angrily, "Lilia Pangestu, you really don't know yourself! How dare you call Alfred here!"

Clifford tried to stop Nora, but her two bodyguards immediately blocked the man. Chris, who had been just watching this situation, also immediately ran towards Lilia.

All these and the two men shouldn't have been worried.

Before Nora's hand could touch her, Lilia caught the woman's wrist with a calm expression. She twisted Nora's arm and took a step forward while ignoring her screams of pain. Lilia leaned towards Nora who was shorter than her and looked at the woman intently. Nora shrank when she saw Lilia's icy gaze.

"Whatever happens between you and Alfred is none of my business. So why are you dragging me into your business? Is Miss Nora too afraid to talk to Alfred, so you are looking for me to cause trouble?" Lilia asked in a low voice.

Nora shook her head with a pale face. Her legs were trembling violently as she felt a stinging pain from her arm that Lilia twisted. Nora finally understood that the woman in front of her was not a woman who could be bullied easily. But her high pride made Nora refuse to admit defeat.

"Let go of me! How dare you hurt me?!" Nora shouted as she tried to grab her arm, but Lilia's grip felt as strong as iron. She turned to her two bodyguards in despair, "What are you doing?! Don't you see that this woman is attacking me?! Get her away from me!"

The two bodyguards looked at each other before approaching Lilia. Clifford tried to stop them, but one of the bodyguards got away from him and approached Lilia.

Even though the opponent was a burly man with a fierce face, Lilia didn't lose her cool. She had planned to push Nora towards her bodyguards if she tried to attack her.

The man took out the stick that police usually used and raised it when Lilia was within his reach.

'Three… two…' Lilia counted the number of steps remaining before the man could reach her. 'One—'

Suddenly a Volkswagen car turned off the highway and headed straight for them. Everyone on the scene froze as the car drew closer.

"Sicily Lilia!" Shouted Chris frantically.

"Miss Lilia!" Clifford dropped the knocked out bodyguard and ran towards her, but the car was too fast.

'Am I really destined to die by getting hit tonight?' Lilia thought as she closed her eyes tightly and prepared to be hit.

But the car stopped right in front of them, accompanied by a screeching sound of brakes. The car door opened with a loud sound and someone darted out.

When Lilia slowly opened her eyes, she saw a strong and familiar looking back in front of her.

"What are you going to do to my fiancée, huh?!" The man growled as he gripped Nora's bodyguard tightly.

"Jean…!" Lilia whispered in excitement. The man's presence brought great relief to Lilia who'd been hiding her fear behind her brave attitude.

Chris let out a loud sigh, 'Why did he also come to Yogyakarta?! This guy is too overprotective!'

"Ugh…! G-Get off me!" The guard shouted the same thing as his employer.

"Clifford." Jean calmly called while releasing the man.

In an instant, Clifford made the man sprawled on the ground. Then Jean turned to Lilia and took a good look at her.

Lilia automatically let go of Nora's arm, who was hurriedly moving away from her. She still couldn't believe her eyes. The man she wanted to meet the most at this time suddenly appeared before her. The headlights made Jean's blonde hair stand out even more in the darkness of the night. The man was wearing a black shirt covered with a light brown coat and jeans.

Jean stepped closer to Lilia, but his sharp-knife haze brushed Nora's figure.

Nora felt as if she was stabbed by an invisible sword. Her whole body felt icy cold and she couldn't move.

Then Jean turned his attention back to his fiancée. He took off his coat and tucked it around Lilia's shoulders, as if she would be lost to the night breeze if she didn't cover herself. Jean then pulled Lilia into his arms while whispering, "Are you okay?"

Those words caught Lilia's breath in her throat. She hugged Jean back without saying anything, but the tight embrace of Lilia conveyed her feelings clearly to Jean.

Lilia wanted to ask why Jean had come from Yogyakarta. But after thinking about it for a moment, she felt that Jean wouldn't give her an honest answer. Plus, Lilia already guessed the reason. This man in front of her always thought of her and prioritized her needs.

Jean must have come here to get her.

The man hugged Lilia without caring about her surroundings. He secretly let out a sigh of relief when he felt the warmth of the woman's body. Jean felt his heart almost stop when he saw the guard about to hit Lilia. He planned to lecture his fiancée later on not to repeat this reckless act again.

When Jean heard the sound of a group of cars coming from the direction of Yogyakarta, he reluctantly released Lilia.

Nora recovered from her fear when Jean released Lilia. The gaze of the arrogant woman continued to fix on Jean. She felt that the man was very dangerous.

However, her two bodyguards were lying on the ground. In addition, there was still Clifford and Lilia who were strong enough to defeat her bodyguards. This situation was very unfavorable for Nora.

Nora mustered all her courage before opening her mouth, "Hey, you!" She rudely called, "Who are you?! Don't you know who I am?!"

Even though Nora shouted in a loud voice, Jean didn't even glance at her. The man acted as if Nora's voice was just a passing wind.

Instead, it was Chris who laughed at her words, "You don't know who he is, but you still dare to find trouble with him? Looks like the Ricardos have become too arrogant!" He said coldly.

Nora trembled at the threat in the man's voice. But when she remembered how Alfred introduced Lilia to Florence and even got alone with her at a party, jealousy overcame her senses. She wouldn't be satisfied until she humiliated Lilia!

Nora ignored Chris's warning and stepped forward. She pointed at Lilia as she said, "Lilia Pangestu, I never thought that you were a shameless lowlife! You dare to hug another man after seducing Alfred earlier! Shame on you!"

Lilia took a deep breath. She tried to correct her choice of words, but Nora's next words left Lilia at a loss for words.

"You are as bad as your ex, William Anggara!"

Lilia looked at Nora in surprise. It seemed like Lilia's reaction satisfied Nora, as the arrogant woman straightened herself up and continued as if she knew everything.

"You think I don't know?! William Anggara had an affair with his manager and ended up dumping you! I wouldn't be surprised if you also love to cheat like your ex!"

"Nonsense!" Said Lilia fiercely, "I'll never do that! Watch your mouth!"

Lilia had known herself what it felt like to be saddled and dumped, therefore the thing she hated the most was having an affair. No matter how bad Lilia's relationship with Jean was, she would never cheat just to hurt Jean's heart.

"You can't fool me!" Nora's reply was no less fierce, "Didn't you appear hand in hand with Alfred at the party earlier?! You also forced him to introduce you to his grandmother, and even be alone with him in the corner of the park! Then you hugged another man so intimately! Isn't that an affair?!"

All of Lilia's self-defense vanished when she heard that. Lilia hated people backstreeting like William the most. To some people's eyes, Lilia had become just as bad as that man. Even though she didn't have that kind of intention, in other people's eyes, she looked like a cheap woman who liked to seduce other men.

When Lilia thought that, she lost the courage to look at Jean. She didn't want to see the disappointment and hurt in the man's dark blue eyes. Lilia could only be silent and lowered her head. She began to think about how to explain the annulment of this contract marriage to her parents.

Lilia wanted to laugh at herself. Since when was she so afraid of losing this loveless marriage?

Maybe… since she fell in love with Jean Widjaya.

Suddenly Lilia felt a big warm hand stroking her head.

"Shut up." The ice-cold voice was in contrast to the warmth of the hand that touched Lilia. But that voice carried warmth in Lilia's heart, "Before I make you regret it."

Nora gasped and took a step back. Jean shot a murderous gaze, as if he wanted to tear Nora apart.

"I know who my fiancée is." Jean continued calmly, "And I trust her."

Lilia automatically turned to Jean. The man noticed her gaze and smiled softly. That smile told Lilia that no matter what, Jean would still believe her.

Lilia took a deep breath. She felt stupid for doubting Jean's love for her all this time. She still didn't know why Jean chose her, but Lilia knew that Jean's love was not fake. The man wouldn't leave her like William.

Lilia turned around and hugged Jean tightly, "Thank you." She whispered.

When Lilia released her embrace, the car group was getting closer to them. Seeing the cars, Chris immediately approached Jean.

"The Ricardos are here." Chris said in a low voice to his friend.

"I know." Jean replied calmly. But his expression turned colder. He put an arm around Lilia's waist, as if trying to keep her close to him.

The arrival of the car group made the road even more crowded. Nora kept shuffling toward her car, as if looking for an opportunity to escape. But before she could do that, the door to one of the cars opened. Alfred, still wearing his party clothes, got out of the car.

Seeing the man, Nora was frozen in her spot. She hurriedly lowered her head and her body trembled violently. All her pride vanished at once, replaced by fear.

After Alfred got out of the car, the bodyguards got out of the other cars. There was a man wearing a blue tuxedo among them. Even though there were many people on the side of the highways, the atmosphere was heavy and gloomy.

Alfred swept his gaze across the people who had been there before he came. His gaze was fixed on Lilia, to be precise, on Jean's hand that was wrapped around her waist.

Alfred's mind went blank in a second. So that was the reason why Lilia didn't answer his feelings tonight. That woman had given her heart to another man. Alfred continued to stare at Lilia without blinking, as if hoping that this scene was just an illusion.

The snoring sound from beside Lilia made Alfred wake up. She slowly turned her gaze towards Jean while keeping her facial expression neutral.

The fourth son of the Widjaya Family.

The seventh son of the Ricardo Family.

The two young men with extraordinary good looks stared at each other. They looked like they were observing each other without saying a word.

At that moment, a man in a blue suit walked forward. As he passed Alfred, Henry chuckled in a disdainful voice. Alfred immediately took his eyes off Jean before stepping back.

"Mr. Chris, are you all right?" Henry asked.
