My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 275 - Cannot Read The Atmosphere



Meanwhile, in the main house of the Widjaya Family. Uncle Hans' funeral ended at exactly four in the afternoon. The old man's body was sent to the funeral home for a while and would be buried at the Widjaya Family cemetery two days later.

During the day, the Widjaya Family house was full of guestses in black clothes who came to mourn. Suddenly Lilia realized for the first time the status and power of the Widjaya Family in Surabaya. Even though the guests were there to pay their final respects to Uncle Hans, they also took the opportunity to approach the members of the Widjaya Family. Each of them hoped to have a close relationship with the Widjaya children and get along with them. Large antique windows also embellish every corner of the walls. Pillars are standing sturdy untouched.

Many guests gave Lilia curious glances, but none of them dared to approach her. They were all flustered by Jean, who always clung to Lilia's side as if he was escorting her. Lilia was relieved that she was freed from having to make small talk with people she didn't know.

Though the ceremony had ended, it didn't mean that the day's agenda was over. The group of expensive cars left the Widjaya family's house and headed to a Chinese restaurant in west Surabaya. The restaurant building stood majestically, the walls were painted in white and gave a timeless impression. The large building was designed in European style, making it look elegant. Antique windows are joining to

The Widjaya family had rented the entire building to host a dinner for the guests. This was their form of gratitude. This tradition was generally held only when a family member had died. Nonetheless, Uncle Hans was already considered part of the Widjaya Family, so no guest commented on this arrangement.

One of the cars stopped in front of the steps leading to the entrance. A valet staff hurried over to the car, just as the door swung open. Jean stepped out of the car and walked to the passenger side. He opened the door before helping Lilia out.

Jean's manly gesture left the guests gaping. They had never seen the fourth son of the Widjaya Family escort a woman so attentively like this.

"... thanks, Jean." Lilia smiled softly at her husband. She knew that Jean was doing this on purpose so that no guest would dare to belittle her.

Jean stared at the pretty smile on his wife's face for a moment, then he rubbed Lilia's cheek. "Don't show that smile to other people, okay?" he warned her in a low voice.

"Yes, of course." Lilia's smile grew wider when she heard that. "I can only smile like this because of you."

Behind them, the valet staff stood restlessly with an awkward expression. He wanted Jean to immediately give him the car's key so that he could quickly escape this situation!

Fortunately, Jean and Lilia didn't stay outside for long. The man gave the key to the valet staff before inviting Lilia into the restaurant. They walked in, ignoring the curious gazes of the guests watching their interactions.

Since the banquet hadn't started yet, Lilia and Jean decided to wait in the lobby. They sat side by side on one of the sofas, while Alex and Alan sat across them. The two men were busy discussing their business cooperation in low voices.

After a while, Alex remembered something. He looked around the lobby, which was filled with guests, but he could not find the person he was looking for. Alex then turned to Lilia and Jean.

"Where's Tom, by the way?" Alex asked in surprise.

He last saw his best friend in the morning, but then Tom suddenly disappeared. Alex was too busy greeting the guests to care about the man's whereabouts. Today, he attended Uncle Hans's ceremony as the representative of the Vantheim Family, so he couldn't just leave his position.

Alex took a deep breath while scolding Tom in his heart. His best friend was raised as the only son of the Wibowo family, so Tom tended to act his own way. Tom was supposed to be here representing his family, but the man had disappeared somewhere.

When Lilia heard Alex's question, she looked up from the phone screen. She had an idea where Tom was going, but she hesitated to make a sound. The woman then chose to remain silent. She was sure that Tom must have gone to see Sasha after the conversation with Jean that morning.

Jean was seen leaning back on the sofa with his eyes closed. The man then showed a reaction to that question. He opened his eyes lightly with an icy cold expression. But before Jean could answer, Alan preceded him.

"Tom? I saw him this morning driving away somewhere. What's going on?" Alan asked.

Alex cursed several times in his heart. What the hell was that stupid guy doing?! What's more important than today's event?!

The sound of loud footsteps from the front door interrupted their conversation. They all turned their heads and saw the man they were just talking about. Tom was still wearing the black coat he'd worn from this morning. But he did not come alone.

Tom was accompanied by Sasha, who was wearing a jet black dress. The color of her clothes matched today's event, but the tight dress design emphasized Sasha's curves. She looked like she was going to a nightclub instead of someone's funeral.

Lilia looked at the two entering the lobby together. Her gaze was focused on Sasha's face, which looked smooth without a trace. But Lilia saw that the makeup on the woman's cheek was thicker than the other.

The corner of Lilia's mouth lifted into a faint smile. Her eyes flashed with satisfaction. She still remembered that Mellisa had slapped the woman when she kidnapped her. Sasha must be trying her best to cover the mark from the slap with makeup.

She was staring intensely at Sasha, but the daughter of the Hiroshi Family didn't even notice her presence. Sasha's gaze immediately focused on Jean, as if she couldn't see anyone other than that man. Her gaze was filled with desire and longing.

Lilia narrowed her eyes and tightly clenched her fists. She felt a little sorry that Mellisa did not beat Sasha any harder. If there weren't any other guests here, Lilia would have walked over to Sasha and slapped her. How dare that woman give someone else's husband such a look?!

Meanwhile, Tom and Sasha approached their friends. Tom tilted his head when he saw Alex glaring at him with a murderous look.

"Umm... Alex ... why are you looking at me like that?" Tom asked with a confused face.

Alex took a deep breath, then turned his gaze to Sasha. The woman was still focused on Jean and ignored everyone here.

"Sasha." Alex called her with a low yet heavy tone.

The man's voice made Sasha finally turn around, even though she looked very reluctant. Sasha then greeted Alex and Alan with modest smiles.

Alex tapped the empty space beside him. "Don't just stand there, sit here."

Although his words sounded inviting, his tone prompted the woman to sit quietly beside him.. Alex ignored Tom, who deliberately brought Sasha to this place. He knew that his best friend loved Sasha, but couldn't he read the mood?! If Lilia and Sasha were in the same place, there would definitely be a scene! Couldn't Tom understand that?!
