My Supermodel Wife

The sky began to darken, and the entire southern part of Jakarta was shrouded in dark clouds.

Looks like it's going to rain.

After dinner, Merry sat cross-legged in front of the hotel room window, supporting her small chin with one hand, and her thoughts drifted.

What she felt now was a terrible feeling. The distance between her and her mother was so close, but there was no way to meet.

As a gust of wind whizzed outside the window, heavy raindrops instantly fell from the night sky.

It was raining on the window, and the little girl felt that the current weather described her broken heart! 

"Hello, brother?"

At this time, Chris came out of the bathroom and answered the phone.

As soon as Merry heard that name, she turned and looked at him.

Could it be her father?!

Chris caught Merry's curious gaze, sat on the sofa and gestured to her.

The little girl jumped from her chair and ran barefoot.

Chris turned on the speakerphone, and immediately heard Samuel's words. "Chris, I'm going out of town tonight, can you take care of Merry for me?!"

Merry curled her lips subconsciously. 'If you were worried about me, why didn't you call me directly?'

The little girl wanted to complain, but she suddenly realized she'd blocked her father's phone number!

Merry smacked her mouth, leaning lazily on Chris' shoulder. She then blinked, and kissed his handsome face as soon as the man turned his head.

Chris looked at her sideways, squeezed her nose affectionately, and bent down to give him a kiss on her forehead.

Samuel was ignored at the other end. "Chris, are you listening?"

Chris cleared his throat and said, "Where are you going to go?"

"South Jakarta, I'm already on my way. I might not be back for the next few days. During that time, please look after Merry for me. If there's anything urgent matters, feel free to contact me anytime."

Hearing that voice, Chris met Merry's eyes. He then rubbed the little girl's head and answered calmly into the phone, "Okay, I'll take care of her. What will you do in Jakarta? Business visit?"

On the phone, Samuel was silent for a few seconds. "I've heard the news about Erika. I plan to go and meet her in person. Don't tell Merry about this just yet, I'm afraid she'll do something impulsive without thinking. After I bring Erika back, I will tell her myself." 

How come this man is so confident?

Chris secretly doubted Samuel, but did not reveal the truth himself.

The two then exchanged words for a while before they finally hung up the phone.

At this moment, Merry sat beside Chris, her dark eyes flickering. "I can't even see her, can he?"

Chris slightly curled his lips, and said without any deep meaning, "It all depends on how strongly he wants to meet your mom!"

This time, Samuel did not delay too long, and he had already gone to Jakarta without hesitation.

Let's hope this man doesn't disappoint.

...

The next day, after a night of rain, the air in the city was cool and fresh.

Just after eight in the morning, Chris, Merry and the others were eating in the hotel restaurant. Paul's bodyguard hastily walked from the door and bent down to pass the message into Chris' ear.

The Patriarch of the Hiroshi family arrived in Jakarta at two o'clock last night, and now he has rushed to the Laibahas' house this morning.

Chris put the fork in his hand and turned his gaze to see the serious expression of the bodyguard. His intuition told him that things weren't that simple. 

"Is she still in the Laibahas house now?" 

The bodyguard pressed his lips and nodded, lowering his voice while saying, "I have been lurking outside the Laibahas house for half an hour. The butler came out and told them to leave as soon as possible, but master Samuel doesn't seem willing to give up so easily. Right now, there are a lot of people gathered at the gates of the Laibahas family. This situation doesn't seem too good!"

Chris. "..."

Samuel's emotional intelligence was really worrying…

Did he think that bringing so many people to the gates of her family's home could win that woman's heart back?

Doesn't this look more like a revenge mission?

Chris reluctantly rubbed his brows, wondering if he should go to help Samuel.

At this time, the bodyguard next to him suddenly moved, pressed the earphone in his ear with one hand and listened intently, his expression slightly changed.

Chris caught this scene, furrowing his brows. "What's wrong?" 

The bodyguard glanced at Merry, Anna and the others, then leaned against Chris' ear to convey, "News has just arrived, the Patriarch of the Laibahas family came out and personally brought master Samuel into the house!"

When the words were finished, the bodyguard asked hesitantly, "Young master, do I need to go and support him?"

Support him?!

Chris glanced at him coldly. "Do you think this is war?"

The bodyguard pulled the corners of his mouth in anger, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself. "Then I will continue to send people to monitor. If I have news, I will report toyou as soon as possible."

"Okay, do it."

... 

On the other hand, Samuel did step into the door of the Laibahas house, but he was not politely received.

Ivan led him through the cobblestoned path, and then invited him to sit by the pool.

This was the first time Samuel had seen him— Ivan.

He didn't expect that the person in charge of the Laibahas family was still this young.

At this time, Ivan asked for two cups of plain water to be delivered, and he took fish food to feed the fish. "You ran to my house early in the morning to make a fuss. I don't know if your needs are that important?"

Samuel didn't want to get involved. He looked around, and solemnly said, "Mr. Ivan, since you know me, you should know what I mean by coming here. I came here to meet…"

Before he could finish, Ivan stopped from feeding the fish. He then turned his head to look at Samuel, and quietly interrupted his words, "I've never met you, how can we know each other? I knew your name because you looked for me and introduced yourself to my butler, have you forgotten?"

Samuel looked into Ivan's eyes, licking his thin lips. He reached out his hand awkwardly to smooth his collar. "Where is Erika?"

This time, Samuel got to the point.

He had already stepped into the Laibahas residence, naturally he wouldn't want to leave before meeting Erika and asking a question that had been ingrained in his heart for a long time.

"Erika?" Ivan squeezed the fish food in his hands, his eyes falling into the sparkling lake. "Who is she? My family has never heard of her name!"

Samuel suffocated, the other party instinctively tried to avoid this matter.

A stagnant atmosphere spread for a while. Samuel took a deep breath and lowered his posture. 

"Master Ivan, Erika is my wife. I heard that she has returned to your house recently. We had some misunderstandings before, so she got angry with me and returned to her family home. Although I know that I am being disrespectful, I ask for your understanding. I just want my wife back."

Ivan listened to his words nonchalantly, then raised an eyebrow and warned, "Since you are so eager to have your wife back, then I suggest that you handle this matter with care."

"My family never knew a person named Erika. You suddenly came to my house without confirming the truth, which I found very rude indeed.. But for your sincere attitude, I shall not demand anything from you! I hope you won't bother me again in the future. Roy, help me escort this guest out!"
