My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 56 - Men Of Study

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 Alfred refuse my offer because he didn't want to have lunch with me?" Lilia asked lightly in a joking tone.

Alfred laughed, "If you insist like that, I will gladly accept your offer."

This young woman, who looked more mature than her age but still had a naughty side, tickled Alfred's curiosity.

They picked up Daniel, who was waiting on the basketball court with a pale face, before going to one of the restaurants near campus. Lilia deliberately chose a comfy but not too expensive restaurant so that Alfred wouldn't feel embarrassed.

They entered a private room in the restaurant and sat around the dining table. Daniel sat next to Lilia, while Alfred sat across the siblings. The room was surrounded by plant pots that gave it a natural and elegant impression.

The waitress handed them the menu book before pouring the green tea into three cups.

"Please, Brother Alfred, you may order first." Lilia pushed the menu book towards Alfred.

"Thank you, but I'll just follow what you ordered." Alfred tried to refuse gently.

"Then tell me your favorite food and I'll order it." Lilia brushed off Alfred's attempt to refuse with a sweet smile.

Alfred had no other choice and accepted the menu book, "Since when were you sure the baby's father wasn't Daniel, by the way?"

Daniel also turned to his sister. Even though the young man's face looked tired and thin, his eyes lit up after hearing that the problem was over. He couldn't taste his food or sleep well for the past two days. Daniel was worried to death that today's meeting would end in trial, but his sister easily solved the problem. He vowed to return Lilia's help someday. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

"Since the beginning. I knew my brother would be held responsible if he did it, and after searching for information on Lacy, I became convinced." Lilia replied casually.

Alfred's hand stopped turning the pages on the menu book for a moment, "I see. To be honest, I was really surprised to see you being nice to Lacy after she admitted her lie." The man looked at Lilia curiously.

Lilia smiled faintly, "She didn't plan all this."

"What do you mean?" Alfred frowned.

"I know that Lacy is dating my brother and another boy. When I searched further, the man told her to pretend Daniel impregnated her so that Lacy could marry into the Pangestu Family." Lilia shrugged, "Maybe that guy promised Lacy that she could divorce Daniel after blackmailing him all out. When I found out about that, I couldn't really hate her." 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

"You don't need to pity someone like that, Sis!" Daniel protested, "She's trying to slander me, you know?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You also have a hand in this case." Lilia turned to her brother with a terrifying expression, "If you don't shut up, I don't mind telling dad everything."

Daniel immediately fell silent at the threat. He could only frown as he flipped through the pages of the menu book.

Alfred could only laugh at their interaction. As expected, Lilia Pangestu was indeed an attractive woman. She was a popular model and came from a wealthy family, but she was not as arrogant as other young women. Instead, Lilia had the manners and kindness that were rarely found these days. Even though she treated her brother coldly, Lilia still cared enough to help him and hide this problem from their parents.

In all his life, Alfred had never been attracted to someone like this!

After they had lunch together, Lilia parted ways with Alfred and Daniel in front of the restaurant.

"Thank you again, Brother Alfred." Lilia smiled broadly as she said that, "If there is something you need, please don't hesitate to ask for my help."

"I didn't do much today, so I don't deserve your thanks. I should be grateful for the lunch instead." Alfred replied humbly, "Drop by the campus if you're free. Nobody knows what Daniel will do without his sister's supervision." He added.

"Hey! What do you mean?!" Daniel immediately protested.

"Of course. Daniel, if you don't go now, you'll be late for class." Lilia reminded him.

Alfred went with Daniel, who was still grumbling with him. Lilia watched the two men walk away. She felt that Alfred was really fit to be a lecturer. Alfred fitted the image to what an educated man would look like. After being around people in the entertainment and business world for a long time, Alfred's presence felt like a breath of fresh air to Lilia.

The sound of the phone ringing broke Lilia's reverie. She took out her cell phone and her smile broke when she saw the name on the screen.

"Hello?"

"When you've finished watching them, turn around."

As usual, Jean's deep voice made Lilia's heart jump. The woman immediately turned around and saw a familiar black car.

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?"
