Ten minutes later, in the living room...
llisa looked at Lilia and asked without hesitation, "Then, you can't co back with us?"
Lilia reluctantly nodded her head and explained in a low voice. "My manager just called . Tomorrow, my film tour will start, and their first stop is Jakarta."
Jean and Leonard ca out of the study when they heard these words just in ti.
llisa's cold brows scrunched up. "You are not the main star, why do they suddenly order you to work like that? I am not happy with the way they treat you. You should have the right to refuse it!"
Lilia turned her head to look at the n who had just finished smoking. Then she smiled bitterly at her sister and turned to comfort llisa. "No way, this is my job. After all, I've also been pushing for a lot of promotions for the movie a while ago. Therefore, I can't help but participate in this promotion tour!"
llisa looked at her without speaking. Although she was reluctant to give up, she also knew that Lilia wasn't soone with plenty of free ti.
Her younger sister was currently at the top in the entertainnt industry, standing unmatched by many.
One wrong step and she'd be done for. Lilia was worried that all her previous efforts would end up being lost.
At this ti, Jean and Leonard sat on their respective chairs. Jean put his cellphone back in his trouser pocket, then he said with his voice filled with a soft magnetic sound, "Since this is a matter of work, we have to understand it. Don't worry, however long it takes you, we'll go ho together."
After he finished speaking, llisa's eyes lit up. "Yes, we will be waiting for you!"
Lilia looked at them with a faint smile, then she shook her head. "The problem is more complicated than that. Jakarta is only their first stop and to promote our movie, we will be on a national tour and will visit 15 other cities."
In the living room, the quiet ticking of the hour hand could be heard.
llisa looked at her in surprise. "That many?"
Leonard also had an extrely shocked expression, and he couldn't help but make a secret decision in his heart. He had already decided not to let llisa work in the future.
Fifteen cities... No matter how you see it, just imagining the hectic schedule revolving around it was terrifying.
Lilia raised her eyebrows and answered, "The film was originally a big production and pre-show promotions could have an effect when the box office version cos out. And since the female lead is unavailable, I have to replace her role."
She spoke calmly and slowly, but Lilia was faintly hiding a part of the reluctance deep in her heart.
This job originally laid the foundation for her career.
It was a manifestation of her personal values ??as an artist.
Even if a stable family life made her happy, she couldn't go on and on between ho and work all day long.
Now that the truth of her life had been fully revealed, she had found peace in her mind. She had to start walking again on this new sheet next.
llisa didn't speak anymore, while Jean Widjaya's face also showed a little sorrow.
...
That night, Caleb specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for his two granddaughters.
Before eating, Lilia changed her clothes and ca out of the changing room. When she was about to walk out, her arms were pulled and her body was pushed against the wall.
Amidst her surprise, Lilia imdiately focused her gaze and lifted her eyes. Then she laughed. "What are you doing just now? You scared ."
The tall and handso man hugged her firmly in his embrace. When he looked at his wife's gentle face, Jean didn't speak any word. He just lowered his head and kissed her deeply.
As he kissed her passionately, Lilia was out of breath.
Jean placed a hand on her shoulder, a drop of tears ca out of his cold and indifferent face. He couldn't explain his feelings, all he knew was that he was sorry he couldn't accompany his wife.
"Sorry, I can't accompany you!" He held tight to Lilia's slender waist, his voice slightly hoarse and indistinct.
Lilia chuckled lightly, she wrapped her hands from her husband's shoulders to the back of his neck. Then she gently stroked his hair with her fingertips.
"I don't need you to accompany , this is just a normal tour. Even though I will be very busy later, I'll make sure to always have the ti to contact you. Take it easy, I'll definitely co back to our house later," she assured with a smile.
The man was silent, his deep eyes were filled with an undefined look.
Seeing his serious expression, Lilia leaned back in front of him and rubbed her forehead against his chin.
After a mont, she pulled her eyes and muttered, "We had to focus on llisa and my family's problem for a while and I had been abandoning my job for that. Maybe I should 'pay my debt' from tomorrow. Don't worry about , I also know that you must have a lot of things waiting for you at the company. You don't have to worry about that much, I can take good care of myself. "
The man lowered his head, a pair of deep eyes locking his figure tightly, then his eyes narrowed. "What if I tell you that I don't want to go ho without you?"
Lilia stopped stroking the ends of his hair when she heard those words just now.
Since when did this cold and indifferent man turn out like this?
Lilia blinked as her brain was trying to work fast.
No matter how reluctant Jean was, Lilia couldn't let her husband leave his work and continued to stick by her side and be with her.
Lilia understood very well that this was a form of Jean's concern for her, but she did not want to beco a hindrance to her husband's important work.
Lilia wondered to herself, how should she comfort her husband? Her eyes flickered continuously...
Smiling bitterly, Lilia said softly, "Don't do that, Isn't the value of one's love will not be known until they're tested with distance and separation?"
After she finished talking about it, the cold aura on the man's body grew even stronger. "Do you think distance awakens the depth of soone's love? Can't you feel how much I love when you are with ?"
Lilia couldn't reply.
She really felt stupid, how could she say such a lousy excuse!
"No, I an..." Lilia was very worried. After thinking hard, she still could not find a reasonable explanation.
Simply put, she did not say anything, and just closed the question with a kiss.
...
At five o'clock, several uncles and two elderly people were still sitting at the dining table.
Caleb's appetite seed to disappear after eating two bites, he put down his cutlery without swallowing.
He sighed, his gaze fixed on Lilia and llisa. The old man then shook his head a little reluctantly. "You two have only been here two days, and you have to return tomorrow. Can't you guys stay a few more days? "
llisa smiled and comforted him. "Grandpa, Lilia and the others still have so jobs in Surabaya. Don't be disappointed, we will visit Jakarta often later."
Caleb didn't say much, he just nodded seriously. "Okay, since you have work, I can understand it. llisa, when do you think you will co again? Let's take a walk in the city! Grandpa will make so arrangents beforehand!"
llisa didn't know what to answer.
It was hard for her to reply!
Seeing this, Stefani couldn't help but joke. "Sir, don't force them too much. Youngsters like them are so invested in their careers. If they have to visit Jakarta too often, when will they be able to work? Better to let them co by themselves when they have plenty of free ti or during holidays!"
Stefani's words relieved them both.
Caleb glanced at her and snorted. "What's so important about work? Lilia, llisa, if you work just to earn money, I will tell you that I have a lot of money, and so do your uncles! Quickly tell how much you need, I will transfer it now!"
The uncles in question instantly fell into silence.
Dennis felt a little embarrassed by his father's words. He looked at Lilia and llisa in a friendly manner. "If you need money, you can tell your uncle at any ti! By the way Lilia, I see that many people on the Internet often target you and make fun of you.. Don't worry, I have already arranged it for you. If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, I will teach them the consequences of bullying our Mayer family's children!"
