Two days had passed since the meeting with the Iswara Family. Lilia didn't have time to see Jean again after accompanying him to lunch that day. She could only go home and shut herself there. Even so, Lilia couldn't stay still and let herself be swallowed up by sadness. She used all of her time to be productive. Primarily, Lilia chose to do various kinds of sports to keep her in shape as she prepared for Milan Fashion Week. Time flew quickly. Lilia invited her best friend Vivi to have dinner together…

Hearing the man's answer, Lilia stared blankly at Jean. She never thought that Jean would suddenly talk about their marriage certificate. Her mind was in chaos and she didn't know how to react. All this time Lilia had always avoided the topic because it reminded her that her parents sold her for profit. At first Lilia thought that she hated this contract marriage, but now her mind had changed. When Lilia finally recovered from her shock, she pretended to sulk, "Hmm, I owe you a lunch, and you are…

Lilia hung up the phone and went over to the car. She stopped beside the opened car's window where she could clearly see Jean's face. "How do you know I'm here? Are you spying on me?" Lilia asked in a joking tone. The man's cold expression melted away and Jean smiled faintly when he heard her joke, "Is your business finished?" Lilia nodded, her face filled with pride, "Yep, the case is over. The student and her parents will not cause any more problems." "Then get in the car." Jean opened the…

As Kenny left the room, Lilia checked her watch and realized that it was almost time for lunch. She turned to Alfred, "Brother Alfred, thank you very much for your help. Can I treat you to lunch as a thank you?" Alfred shook his head with a humble smile, "You're welcome, but I didn't do anything earlier. You're the one in charge, Lilia." "That is not true. If it weren't for your initiative to record the entire conversation earlier, the Iswara Family might not have given up that easily. Does Brother…

"Good morning, Miss Lilia." Kenny immediately approached his client, "I've heard everything. Just leave this case to me." The man said in a serious tone while standing beside Lilia. Lacy's face turned even paler upon witnessing this all. Daniel's big sister had predicted that her parents would complicate the situation and prepared a lawyer! If this case was actually brought to court and the lies were exposed, then… Lacy jumped up from her chair and immediately knelt in front of her parents,…
-
Lacy's face turned pale at Lilia's words. Her parents also couldn't reply to her words because that was what happened. Lilia felt satisfied seeing their reactions. It seemed like her debating skills had improved a lot since she met Jean, "Therefore, the solution I offer is to let Daniel take responsibility and marry Lacy." Lilia continued. Alfred turned to Lilia. His expression was colored with surprise. The three members of the Iswara Family also looked at Lilia in disbelief. But among all of them,…

Two days later, Lilia came back to Alfred's office on campus. Today she was wearing a white blouse and a long, bright yellow skirt which made her look younger than usual. With that appearance, Lilia could be mistaken as one of the students here. Alfred sat beside Lilia. The man would act as a neutral party in this case. The lecturer's outfit looked simplistic and didn't attract attention. Lilia felt that Alfred's appearance suited his humble character. "Mr. Alfred, how long have you been teaching…

When Jean returned to the open dining room, he saw Lilia leaning back on the chair. The woman greeted him with a broad smile, as if that awkward silence never happened. Jean began to feel a little guilty for his fiancée for making things so uncomfortable. He asked while sitting on his chair, "Why are you smiling like that?" Lilia pointed to the dish on the table that the waitress had just brought out. The dish was Sapo tofu with a thick, bloody red sauce. Just smelling the scent was enough to make…
-
Lilia finished replying to Alfred's text and put her cell phone on the table. When she looked up, she felt that Jean's face looked a little gloomy. However, when Lilia took a closer look at the man, Jean's expression was as flat as ever. 'Maybe he just got the wrong look' Lilia decided. "What's your order?" Jean asked while tapping on Lilia's menu book. "Oh…" Lilia read the menu book briefly before ordering a bowl of soup and a plate of salad. After the waitress left with their order, Jean…
-
Even though Jean didn't fully understand Lilia's request, he didn't ask any further. After the incident where Lilia scolded him for arranging everything without asking her opinion, Jean understood something. This woman in front of him did not rely on others and had her own thoughts. Lilia was not a bird in a cage. The best thing that Jean could do for such a woman was to respect her wishes. "Thank you very much, Jean." Lilia's voice pulled the man back to reality. Lilia gave the biggest smile Jean…
