My Supermodel Wife

"Tell Merry that her uncle and aunt have come to visit. If she wanted to meet them, she had to eat dinner tonight. I don\'t know how long she intends to refuse to eat, but she can\'t last long without food." Samuel ordered.

"Very well, I will convey your message to Miss Merry." Adi bowed politely.

He kept bowing until Samuel went into his study with Lilia and Jean. Then Adi straightened his back with a faint smile. He shook his head as he headed towards Merry\'s room. Even though the young woman refused to eat as a form of protest, Adi sneaked small cakes into her room. He knew that Merry could not be hungry because the young woman finished all the cookies he gave her.

However, Adi was worried that eating cakes alone would not be good for Merry\'s health. That\'s why the arrival of Jean and Lilia was like help from heaven. He hoped that the two of them could resolve the argument between the father and the daughter.

Samuel closed his study door behind him before turning over. But he was stunned when he saw Jean sitting next to Lilia on the sofa. Who was this man?! Was he really the cold-hearted guy Samuel knew?!

The Head of the Hiroshi Family took a deep breath while trying to calm himself down. This was the first time he\'d met Lilia, so Samuel had to maintain his dignity.

Samuel went to the sofa opposite the husband and wife and threw himself down. He was just sitting up when he heard Jean ask, "How\'s Merry?"

"I have no idea." Samuel exhaled his cigar smoke while trying to stay calm. This was the first time Jean had asked how Merry was doing on his own accord.

Hearing that ambiguous answer, Lilia\'s expression turned grim. In her mind, she began to imagine a situation where Merry was tortured and locked up in her room for disobeying her father.

Lilia looked at Samuel hesitantly. She wanted to speak up in defense of Merry, but she was also afraid that her opinion would make Samuel even more angry with her daughter.

Jean grabbed her hand from beside her. He stroked the back of the woman\'s hand to give her strength.

Samuel folded his legs and leaned back on the chair. Seeing Jean showing off their intimacy in front of him made Samuel even more curious about Lilia.

The head of the Hiroshi Family was so busy with his work that he didn\'t know when Jean got married. He did not expect that the fourth son of the Widjaya Family would marry a famous model like Lilia.

Samuel admitted that the woman was indeed prettier than she appeared on television. Lilia also had a calm and charismatic personality, unlike other women who could only curry favor with other people. Samuel was curious about what kind of magic Lilia used on Jean and his daughter.

So far, no woman had ever melted Jean\'s icy heart. But Lilia managed to make Jean so crazy about her that he agreed to marry her. The same thing happened to Merry. Lilia was able to make Samuel\'s only tomboyish and out of control daughter like her so much. Samuel never thought that Merry would be willing to humble herself as someone else\'s assistant for half a year.

The man was so focused on observing Lilia that he didn\'t realize he had been staring at her for too long.

"Brother Samuel." Jean called in a low, menacing voice.

Samuel jumped up and turned to face Jean. The young man\'s icy gaze told him that Jean did not like Samuel\'s excessive concern for his wife. The Head of the Hiroshi Family coughed and looked away.

But right at that moment, Lilia called out to him in a low voice. "Um ... Brother Samuel."

"Y-Yes?" Samuel turned back to Lilia. He tried to maintain his composure which began to falter with shock.

The temperature around Jean dropped even more drastically as Samuel\'s gaze returned to Lilia. Before the woman could say anything, Jean squeezed her hand gently.

"The decorations in this house are amazing. You can ask Mr. Adi to show you around." He said in a subtle tone. The man\'s voice was very different from the voice he had used with Samuel earlier.

Lilia immediately understood that Jean wanted to discuss personal matters with Samuel. She nodded without arguing and got up from the sofa. Lilia bowed to Samuel before leaving.

Samuel\'s gaze remained fixed on Lilia until her figure disappeared behind the door. He sighed in disappointment at not getting a chance to observe the model any longer.

"Haven\'t you had enough staring at her that long?" Jean asked in a light voice, but his tone was stern.

Samuel went back to smoking his cigar. He was tempted to retort, \'I still want to observe her a little more.\' But Jean\'s murderous aura made him lose his mind. If Samuel was even joking about that, he had a feeling that Jean would really make him regret it.

The man played with the cigar in his hand while nodding. Now Samuel was changing to observing the fourth son of the Widjaya Family. Jean\'s menacing expression looked like a mother beast protecting her cub. Then Samuel realized something.

"Could it be ..." Samuel leaned towards Jean with an interested expression, "Is she the girl you\'ve been looking for all these years?"

Jean did not immediately answer Samuel\'s question. He took out a cigarette and lit it with slow movements. The man enjoyed his cigarette while ignoring Samuel\'s expression screaming impatience.

Jean exhaled his cigarette smoke before answering, "That\'s right. She\'s the one I\'ve been looking for."

*****

Lilia left the study and walked back into the hall. Then she stood there frozen, looking around. Even though she agreed to leave the study, Lilia was now starting to regret her decision. This house was so big that she feared that she would get lost if she walked around without a guide.

As if hearing Lilia\'s plea, there was the sound of footsteps from the stairs. The lady turned and saw Adi coming down the stairs.

"Madame Lilia, is there anything I can help you with?" Adi asked while approaching her. The middle-aged man stole a glance over Lilia\'s shoulder, but he was surprised that he didn\'t see Jean or Samuel.

"Ah, no need, I just wanted to take a look inside this house. I don\'t want to trouble Uncle Adi." Lilia said, keeping her politeness.

Then Lilia\'s gaze fell on a servant behind Adi. The servant still had the silver tray in his hand. A possibility flashed through her mind and Lilia decided to try asking, "Um... Uncle Adi, is Merry all right?"

Adi\'s eyes widened briefly, then he immediately covered his surprise with a friendly smile, "Miss Merry is fine. It\'s just that, she has not been allowed to leave her room for several days. The Grand Master was so angry that he locked Miss Merry in her room this time. He even put some bodyguards at the door. "

"Gosh, Brother Samuel went that far?" Lilia did not think that Merry\'s situation was worse than she thought.

That young woman was the type who couldn\'t stay still and was always lively. Wouldn\'t Merry be stressed if she was forced to stay in her room all day?

"What does Merry do in her room every day?" Lilia couldn\'t help asking, "I\'ve tried calling her many times, but her cell phone is always off. She also doesn\'t respond to my messages."

"Ah ..." For a moment, Adi looked embarrassed. He cleared his throat and explained, "Actually, Big Master is blocking the internet in this house. He doesn\'t allow Miss Merry to contact the outside world at all until Miss agrees to go to college."

Lilia tried hard not to laugh. The scale of this father-daughter fight got bigger and bigger, causing Samuel to turn off the internet at home.

"That\'s why Miss Merry spent her time playing on the computer everyday. If I\'m not mistaken, she played games like minesweeper and solitaire." Adi continued, "Ah, it\'s a game that doesn\'t need the internet, so Miss can play it whenever she wants."

Lilia shook her head. It seemed she was underestimating Merry\'s ability to comfort herself even when she was locked up at home!
