My Supermodel Wife

Lilia took a good look at Jean's appearance. The man was wearing a black shirt and trousers in a matching color. The top three buttons of his shirt were open, accentuating his male appeal. Lilia's heart skipped a beat as she walked beside Jean.

Behind them, Clifford got back into the car. In just a moment, the car sped away, taking Merry with him. As expected of Lilia's assistant, Jean was completely oblivious to her presence earlier. Silence enveloped the place, making the atmosphere feel romantic and intimate.

"Are you tired?" Jean asked softly while stroking Lilia's hand.

Lilia shook her head, "I am fine." Earlier she was tired after filming for hours, but all her fatigue disappeared as soon as she met Jean.

Jean smiled slightly and lowered his head to kiss Lilia on the cheek. The man had become more open in showing his love since they made up, "Don't push yourself. Come on in." He said.

"Why did you make Clifford take me here?" Lilia asked as they entered the villa's front yard.

Jean raised his eyebrows when he heard that, "Didn't you say you wanted to get out of your house? I thought you would like this place, so I brought you here."

Lilia turned to Jean in surprise, "This is your villa?!"

Lilia had planned to find an apartment to live in, but she didn't think that Jean would buy a villa in this elite residence! Lilia couldn't imagine how expensive this villa was.

Jean chuckled when he saw Lilia's expression filled by shock. He opened the door for her before answering, "Not really. This villa is part of your dowry, so technically it is your villa."

Lilia sighed. To be honest, she was not interested in reading the dowry list provided by the Widjaya Family. The list only reminded Lilia that her parents — Sylvia to be precise — sold her for wealth.

When Lilia entered the living room, her gloomy thoughts immediately vanished. She stood there, her eyes scouring the room. The floor was covered with a pastel-colored rug that matched the white sofa arranged around the glass table. The walls of the room were covered in gray wallpaper and decorated with natural paintings. Overall, the living room was blended in soft colors with a modern style, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Lilia could imagine how much effort Jean had to manage this room in between his busy life. She turned to the man while smiling broadly.

"Did you like it?" Jean asked while hugging Lilia's waist and pulling her closer. He could see happiness clearly etched on Lilia's face.

"I really like it!" Lilia answered him as a big smile bloomed in her face.

Lilia reached out and hugged Jean's neck. She looked up on tiptoes so she could match the man's tall body. For the first time, it was Lilia who took the initiative to kiss Jean. Her heart was beating fast at their closeness. Every time she took a breath, the distinctive scent of spring tickled her nose.

Lilia's lips stayed an inch away from Jean's when a loud popping sound interrupted the romantic moment.

"Congratulations on your wedding! Hope you ... oh ..." Tom's voice disappeared when he saw the couple about to kiss. He hurriedly hid the champagne bottle he had opened behind his back.

Lilia looked at Tom in surprise. She hurriedly let go of Jean and stepped back with a bright red face. Why was there any other than the two of them in this house?!

Jean silently clicked his tongue. He had struggled to manage this moment, but Tom had a knack for always showing up at the wrong time. The man shot a knife-sharp gaze at his friend, who was shrinking in fear.

"I-I…" Tom opened and closed his mouth repeatedly, struggling to find words to defend himself. He pointed towards the dining room with trembling hands. The expression on his face looked as if he had been entering a lion's cage, "I-I didn't do this on purpose! Chris told me to welcome you!"

"Ha ha ha ha!!" Chris, the perpetrator, emerged from the dining room laughing out loud. The man looked very happy because he managed to get back at Jean who had troubled him at the Ricardo Family party yesterday.

Apart from Tom and Chris, there were other people hiding in the dining room as well.

"Chris, your laughter sounds really mean." Alex hit Chris on the back as he walked past his friend. Vivi and Rachel also appeared from behind Alex. They were followed by someone unexpected— Sasha Hiroshi.

Tom pointed at his two friends, shouting, "You are all traitors!"

Chris finally stopped laughing and wiped his tears, "I'm just suggesting you to surprise them both. It's not my fault if you mess up their romantic moment."

Alex nodded with an innocent face, "Jean, don't be mad at Tom. You know he can never read the situation."

Tom looked at the two men who claimed to be his best friends with disbelief, 'You guys told me to do this but now you are making me the scapegoat?!'

But Tom did not dare to say that to Jean, because he himself also agreed to do this since he wanted to make fun of the fourth son of the Widjaya Family. So Tom turned towards Lilia and put on a big smile. He hoped that Lilia could save him from Jean's gaze which became increasingly sharp.

"S-Sicily Lilia, congratulations on your wedding huh! Do you like our surprise?" Tom said, lifting the champagne bottle.

Alex sighed while shaking his head. Tom really was the best at saving himself from a desperate situation!

*****

Twenty minutes later, the staff from Lilia's favorite hotpot restaurant came to deliver their order. The staff arranged the food on the dining table according to Tom's instructions. He was tasked with preparing food and drinks as punishment from Jean.

Alex and Chris chatted while smoking by the window. Their cigarette smoke sometimes blew in the wind towards the dining table, causing Tom to yell at them to smoke outside. But the two friends continued chatting as if they didn't hear anything.

Meanwhile, Vivi and Rachel help set the plates and other cutlery on the table. The two of them felt awkward being in the same room as these famous people, so they looked for something to divert their minds.

Sasha was standing alone in the doorway of the dining room. She stared at the familiar, warm scene with a mixture of jealousy and disappointment.

This estate was managed by the Genesis Company and was a symbol of the Widjaya Family real estate company. Sasha and Jean's friends each owned a villa in the area. They visited each other frequently, but Jean never let them into his villa. That's why Sasha was very happy when Tom called and told her to come to Jean's villa. She thought that Jean was finally willing to open his heart to her!

Alas, she was greeted by the shocking news when she arrived there.

Jean and Lilia were officially married.

Sasha couldn't believe the news. To be precise, Sasha didn't want to believe the news. How could a handsome and ideal man like Jean Widjaya easily sign a marriage certificate with Lilia Pangestu? What was so good about that woman? Sasha didn't know what magic spell Lilia used to make Jean so attracted to her. Unfortunately for her, their marriage had officially happened.

Sasha turned around and peeked at the living room through the gap in the door. Her chest felt tight when she saw the couple alone by themselves there.

The couple sat side by side on the sofa. Lilia enjoyed the lake view at night from the window while letting Jean play with her long hair, "Did you invite them all here?" Lilia asked Jean.

"Tom was the first to see the news on the internet. He immediately phoned Sasha and the other two. I arranged for your two best friends to come here too." Jean replied while running his fingers through Lilia's silky hair. He had become fond of touching and playing with Lilia's hair.

"Hmm." Lilia was tickled by Jean's movements. She took the man's large hand before pressing it against her cheek. Jean's cold skin felt cool and comfortable, "About the news on the internet ... you are the one who takes care of it, right?"

Lilia's question sounded more like a statement. She had suspected that it was Jean who covered up the news about her marriage on the internet. No matter how good Harold was in public relations, his manager wouldn't be able to control public opinion in such a short time. Only the fourth son of the Widjaya Family would be able to do it.

Jean chuckled and cupped Lilia's face with his hands. He landed a soft kiss on her lips before saying, "This marriage is our private matters. Even if our marriage needs to be announced, only you can announce it."

'I won't allow anyone else to do it.' Lilia caught the meaning hidden behind Jean's words. She smiled broadly and intended to return Jean's kiss to express her gratitude.

Of course, Tom chose that moment to come into the living room and announce, "The food is ready! I'm hungry, so come on— ouch!"

His sentence was cut short when the sofa cushions hit his face.

*****

Not long after Jean finished punishing Tom, they all sat around the dining table. The table was filled with various appetizing dishes.

Their dinner went harmoniously thanks to Tom, who always made jokes and comments to liven up the atmosphere. Even Vivi and Rachel also relaxed and enjoyed the feast.

It was almost midnight when they finished dinner.

Jean and his three friends smoked in the living room chatting while the restaurant staff were clearing the dining table and kitchen. Meanwhile, Lilia was kidnapped by Vivi and Rachel to the second floor.

The two women pulled Lilia to the European-style balcony at the end of the second floor's hallway. When they opened the door to the balcony, a cool monsoon breeze blew in. Lilia sat on one of the wooden chairs, while Vivi and Rachel sat across her.

Lilia felt threatened when she saw her two friends' eyes shining. She had a feeling that the two of them intended to interrogate her all out regarding this marriage.
