Chapter 893 - Why Does My Son Always Stand Up For Him?
After half an hour, Lilia returned to the bedroom.
Mellisa and Leonard accompany Glen to meet his aunt, Michelle.
In the bedroom, the old wooden bed gave off an antique feeling, but the mattress is very soft and comfortable to sleep on.
Lilia lay on her side, and the wisps of the afternoon sun pierced through the gaps in the half-closed curtains, shining warmly on her thin blanket.
After a while, the bedroom's door opened, and the man walked steadily with a glass of warm water.
Lilia spun around, ran into his deep pupils, and smiled slightly. "Are they gone?"
"Yes." The man put the glass on the small table beside the bed. And when he sat down, his palm rested on Lilia's back. "Are you having back pain?"
As Lilia's pregnancy progressed, she began to struggle to sleep.
Her protruding lower abdomen puts pressure on her spine while lying down, so she would rub both sides of her waist and stomach to relieve the pressure during nights.
Lilia put the back of her hand on the back of the man's hand, and sat slowly on the bed. "It doesn't hurt, I just want to sleep, but Mellisa told me something extraordinary that I can't sleep now!"
At this time, the man bent down and put a pillow on his back. Lilia found a comfortable posture, spread her legs, and heard her husband ask. "What did she say?"
Lilia immediately told the truth and asked, "Do you think the information regarding Lyn and Luke's relationship is reliable? Should we help Mellisa to verify it again?"
She didn't know her sister's friend who provided this information, nor did she know how reliable the information was.
Only if this were true, then Lyn's role in the Adler Family would have been more than that of fiancée.
In order for Mellisa to snatch the fiancée position from her, she must know who her enemy is!
After hearing this, the man looked at Lilia with gentle eyes. "No need to verify, the news is true."
"So you know about it?" In the end, she suddenly thought about several possibilities, and straightened her back. "Jean, did…… you send that message to Mellisa?"
Most likely so!
If it was Jean's source, it must be true!
The man looked at Lilia, with his thin lips slightly to the side, he raised his hand to smooth the hair around his wife's ears. "They say that pregnancy causes a mother to be desensitized, but… So far, Mrs. Widjaya doesn't seem to have any such symptoms!"
Lilia wanted to nod subconsciously, but she just lowered her head and sensed that something was wrong.
She looked at the man with a stern face, and patted the back of his hand again. "I've always been smart, okay!"
The smile on the man's lips deepened, and he held the tips of Lilia's fingers in his palms. "Since we want to help them establish a foothold in Bandung as quickly as possible, we must always ensure that their information chains are not blocked."
"Mellisa does have a channel to investigate a few things, but a lot of information has been deliberately withheld. Her friends are indeed capable of investigating, but I'm afraid that they're wasting too much time."
Lilia sharply caught the meaning behind the words. She leaned forward towards him and hesitantly said, "You mean, the fact that the two of them were dating was intentionally hidden?"
"Well, such relationships always leave a lot of traces and those who try to help them hide that fact aren't very smart! They still leave a lot of clues."
Hearing this, Lilia pressed her lips, and a light floated under her eyes. "The Adler family's influence in this city is enormous, but if it's their own family members who are hiding this fact, of course they won't notice!"
"It only takes effort to find the truth!" At the end, the man grabbed her shoulder to make her lie down again, and continued, "The banquet is still long, I'll sleep with you for a while okay?"
Lilia nodded and lay down. After Jean lay beside her, she naturally hugged his arms. "I heard that the rumors about my future brother-in-law have been increasing a lot lately, have you helped him with something?"
The man sighed silently. With one hand behind his head, he whispered, "If he wants to take over the Adlers, he's got to be able to stand on his own first. He used to be a cop, too rigid and sometimes disparaging things."
As the words fell, the man heard a small sigh. Apparently he discovered that Lilia had fallen asleep.
He stretched his hand over the thin blanket, gently covered her, bent down and kissed her forehead, then hugged her to sleep.
The sun was warm in the afternoon, and their bedroom gradually grew warm and peaceful……
On the other hand, Mellisa accompanied Leonard and Glen to where Michelle was.
Here, unlike other buildings, was full of luxury and elegance.
Judging from the style of the villa alone, it is known that Michelle is a woman who puts a lot of emphasis on luxury.
At this time, the maids were already standing in front of the door and waiting.
Seeing the three of them get off the caddy, they rushed forward to greet them.
They invited these three into the living room, and respectfully sent a few cups of tea.
When Mellisa sat down, she looked down at the maid outfit she was wearing. Is she allowed to sit here?
Just as she was still contemplating sitting or standing, Michelle appeared gracefully in her luxurious dress.
Even when she didn't go to work, she still looked very elegant at home.
Michelle stood near the living room and looked around, her eyes over Leonard, and then on Glen's face.
"Is that you, Glen?"
Glen stood up, nodded his head, and with a hint of humility on his face he replied, "Auntie, long time no see."
"It's been a long time…! How long is it? More than ten years?" Michelle smiled kindly and walked over. When walking, her eyes are always fixed on Glen's body.
The Sylvester family has a strong influence in Bandung especially after controlling the cruise ship industry!
Therefore, Michelle has great respect for Glen.
Leonard and Mellisa also stood up one after another to show their courtesy.
After Michelle took her seat, the servant brought her a cup of special European-style tea. As she picked it up, her eyes fell on Mellisa. "Why is he sitting here?"
Leonard replied calmly, "Mom, this guy works for me, so of course he can sit with us."
"Your servant?" Michelle bluntly put the teacup on the table hard to show her displeasure. "He should've understood his position and realized that he's just a servant!"
Leonard looked directly at his angry mother, and pressed the corner of his lower lip. Before he could speak, Glen said with a broad smile, "Auntie, if you get angry, you'll get old quick, you know! Since Leonard said this one served him and allowed him to sit down, there's nothing wrong with sitting here together!"
Michelle's anger hadn't calmed down even by Glen's words. Instead, she looked at Mellisa's obstructive maid outfit, her eyes filled with displeasure and disgust.
Upon seeing this, Leonard furrowed his brows and stood up. "Since our existence makes you unhappy, then I'll go first. Please speak to Glen alone."
"Oh, come on……" Glen pressed Leonard's shoulder for a moment, he was clearly trying to melt this heated atmosphere with all his might. When Michelle saw this scene, she didn't know what to do for a while.
Why is this son always trying to defend the male servant?
