While speaking, Lilia looked at llisa's lower belly unabashedly. She then added. "In any case, your stomach will just get bigger, so… do you want to stay with him as a servant forever?"
llisa walked slowly, showing a surprised expression, smiling slightly contrived. "Marriage, huh…? I'm afraid neither of us have the final say."
"Why?" Lilia was confused.
llisa looked at the two n walking side by side in front of her with serious thoughts, and she hesitated for a few seconds before she finally told Lilia about the rules set by the Adler family for the main wife.
After listening to everything, Lilia didn't speak for a while.
Even though llisa only explained it briefly, she still sensed a lot of helplessness in it.
Seeing her silent, llisa couldn't help smiling bitterly. "Now, you understand right?"
Lilia frowned slightly, and sighed. "I see, but isn't Leonard suffering..."
llisa asked with a smile. "If Jean also had the sa problem, what would you do?"
Lilia pulled the corners of her mouth and muttered. "I will definitely do the sa…"
llisa laughed when she heard this. "Hahaha it seems what you said is true. Over the years, I have learned many things, but the rules and knowledge in the big family... I have absolutely no idea about them."
"Now Leonard's father gave this opportunity so that I can be worthy of being a woman who can stand side by side with him. If I don't work hard, I feel that I will regret it later."
Lilia noticed llisa's indifferent face, and a sudden burst of emotion rose in her heart.
She had never seen llisa have such determination to give everything to Leonard willingly.
Taking advantage of the dim night, Lilia calmly grabbed llisa's fingertips. "Since everything has been decided, do your best. I'm recently trying to reduce strenuous activities myself, so I'll help you study while I'm here."
"You don't need to accompany ." lisa squeezed Lilia's finger and shook her lightly. "You just need to have fun while you're here, don't worry about . This is all my struggle, I want to achieve my future with my own hands."
Lilia didn't answer, but she already had a plan in her heart. At first, her purpose in coming to Bandung was for her sister.
...
Twenty minutes later, in the front yard, Jean and Leonard were seen smoking. anwhile, Lilia and llisa walked into the living room.
In the air, a faint white mist drifted, Leonard looked around with a comfortable expression. "Actually, I didn't think that my father would arrange for you to stay here!"
The man raised his eyes and looked at him through the floating smoke.
Leonard t his gaze and sighed. "This place, as far as I can rember, was a forbidden place. When I was a child, I was curious and sneaked around to have a look. But in the end, I was caught and chased away by the patrolling guards. Jean, I can see that my father takes you very seriously!"
Leonard said this not as satire or ridicule.
Instead, his expression was serious and hearing this, Jean smoked a cigarette, turned his head and exhaled the smoke, and muttered in a soft voice. "He values ?? because of you!"
Leonard sighed and nodded. "I know, but he rarely values ??the friends around . I am very happy to see him recognize you!"
Jean looked at his cigarette and paused for a mont, then looked at Leonard. "Why are you suddenly so emotional? it's not like your style."
Leonard was surprised for a mont, then smiled at him.
Half an hour later, Leonard took llisa and returned ho.
The guards were arranged inside and outside the building where Jean and Lilia were staying.
On the way back, Leonard and llisa walked side by side under the night sky. The two of them didn't speak at all.
As they approached their building , llisa's arm was suddenly pulled. And in the next second, Leonard imdiately dragged her beside the thick grass bushes.
lissa was too late to react, her back was pressed against a tree trunk, her cheek was lifted by Leonard, and a deep kiss imdiately locked her lips and made her deeply confused.
On this road, the occasional sound of night patrol vehicles could be heard passing by.
This man… Was he not afraid of being seen by others?!
llisa responded to this kiss in a daze. And when they parted their lips, she raised her eyelids and glared at him angrily. "You are too presumptuous!"
Leonard pressed his forehead against hers, and after calming his breath, his voice sounded hoarse. "llisa, the most righteous thing I've ever done in my life is to love you!"
The sudden confession made llisa confused.
Her hand pushed Leonard slightly, putting so distance between them. "Are you crazy?"
Leonard ca closer and rubbed llisa's cheek. "This is how I feel."
Then he hugged her. llisa was helpless and could only enjoy it. "I thought you were exhausted from the events of the past few days."
"llisa, listen to . Maybe I'll be very busy starting tomorrow, so I can't take care of you all the ti. But I promise, things will pass as quickly as possible!"
llisa's smile gradually turned into a serious expression, she just leaned against Leonard's chest and didn't respond for a long ti
"Are you scared?" Leonard lifted her face, his deep gaze fixed on llisa's eyes.
Hearing this, lisa shook her head slightly, pursed her lips, and placed her fingertips on the neck of his shirt. "You and I know that Jean and Lilia ca to Bandung especially for us. So it doesn't matter what you want next. I'll support you, but... my only condition is that you won't put yourself and them in danger."
Leonard looked at her deeply, sighed and hugged her tighter. "Okay, I promise."
The both of them wouldn't let their fight put Jean and Lilia's lifes on the line.
...
The next day, at half past seven in the morning, Lockhart was exercising in front of his villa, and within a few minutes, Luke rushed over to him.
Standing in front of Lockhart, he quickly reported the latest news.
At the end of his words, Lockhart glared at him. "What did you say? My brother let people from the Widjaya family live in the building near Moon Lake?"
Luke nodded vaguely. "Yeah, I just got the news this morning. Dad, how do we respond? This Widjaya family sounds really bad to us. He seems very supportive of Leonard, if we don't move quickly, then I'm worried..... . "
Lockhart raised his hand and interrupted him. "Follow !"
The father and son went to the study on the second floor. When Lockhart sat down, he picked up the phone and made a call.
The mont he connected, his face turned to one of flattery in a matter of seconds. "Master, how about the things we discussed earlier?"
The other party's lazy tone sounded relaxed. "Master Adler, I actually wanted to work with you but it only gave 60% of the profits. I'm afraid I'll have to consider this matter again!"
Hearing this, Lockhart's face sank.. He gritted his teeth and said in a grim tone. "Master, how about 80%?"
