My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 470 - A Gift from the Uncles (1)

In the lobby of the main house, all the direct descendants of the Mayer family were sitting in a round table.

Grandpa Caleb had one daughter and four sons. There were already more than ten people present in the lobby of the main house. This included members of the extended Mayer family.​​

At this time, Grandpa Caleb came out to greet the two girls who had gone missing but had returned in person. After this, he would reintroduce them in front of the family.

The first time they appeared, everyone seated at the large dining table was standing altogether.

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

The people present at the same time greeted him. Just from this act, the Mayer family had shown how disciplined their members were.

Caleb answered their greetings softly. He then looked around the table and introduced. "The one on the left, I don't need to remind you again, all of you have definitely seen her. My granddaughter Mellisa is back."

"While on my right, all of you must have never known her. Our family just found her not so long ago. You all can see how much she looked like Janice. Her name is Lilia."

Tonight, Janice Irwan, Caleb's only daughter also attended.

Right now, she was standing beside Stefani while looking at Mellisa and Lilia with teary eyes. After being reminded by her father, the entire Mayer family looked at Janice from time to time.

Needless to say, the supermodel must be her real child.

No one could deny how similar Lilia's face was to her mother.

Caleb looked at everyone at the large table, then nodded in satisfaction. And when he brought Lilia and Mellisa to their seats, he bluntly said, "You two, sit next to me. I don't want to see my granddaughters, with my blood running inside their veins, close to their mother!"

He had sent a clear message. Janice turned pale in an instant after she heard it.

After Caleb sat down, all the other members sat down one by one. Meanwhile Jean and Leonard sat next to their respective partners looking like statues.

Today's dinner banquet was specially arranged by Grandpa Caleb, so no one dared to say anything.

The wide table was filled with members of the Mayer family. Although everyone didn't say much, they still wore serious expressions on their face.

There were so many of them, and Lilia almost knew nobody.

However, there were some figures who were often seen in the news. Even though she didn't know them personally, she was still familiar with their faces.

The Mayer family could be said to be the strongest political dynasty in Jakarta.

At this time, Grandpa Caleb slightly raised his hand and the servants started serving food. Taking this opportunity, he looked at the man opposite Janice with amazing eyes and asked, "Dennis, how are you preparing for tomorrow's banquet?"

Dennis was 54 years old this year and he worked as a diplomat. He was the eldest son, and the current potential successor to the Mayer family.

Dennis still had a stern look in his eyes though his temples showed some strains of white hair. Different from the educated and elegant Irwan family, his whole body showed the unique blood and character of the Mayer family. He slightly lowered his head and his voice was steady and deep when he answered, "Dad, don't worry, everything has been arranged,"

Caleb nodded in satisfaction. He then turned his head to look at Lilia, his serious expression turned soft. "Lilia, that is your uncle!"

Lilia's heart felt hot, and when she saw Dennis from the top, she smiled softly and greeted, "Uncle."

Dennis nodded slightly and looked at her gently. "Lilia, here, I have prepared a present for you for our first meeting."

"When your aunt was still alive, we kept a pair of jade bracelets. They really look good, I brought them here today. For both of you," he said, showing his gift.

"Come on, get one for you and one for Mellisa. If someone bothers you in the future, remember to tell me anytime," he continued.

As Lilia breathed, her face was a little surprised.

This Mayer family… was completely different from what she had imagined!

Dennis handed the two gift boxes to Axel who was standing nearby, then he immediately gave them to Lilia and Mellisa.

Compared to Lilia's surprise, Mellisa looked at the gift box with fluctuating eyes, and when she looked at Dennis, she choked a little. "Thank you, uncle."

Dennis's cold and firm cheeks showed a hint of a smile. "Kid, why are you being so polite to your uncle? At that time, you were naughty and couldn't keep quiet all day long. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but you have become soft as water! Are you really my niece?" 

Along with Dennis's taunts, there was a burst of harmonious laughter on the table.

At this time, Dennis looked at Jean and Leonard with an attentive gaze, he then nodded in satisfaction. "Their partners look dignified. Jean, I heard that you were in real estate? Let's talk a little after dinner, I would like to hear your views on the prospects for the real estate industry."

Jean lowered his eyes and nodded, he then replied calmly, "It's an honor,"

Dennis continued to smile. He was often involved in the diplomatic world. As a diplomat, leading around the world always required him to take the initiative to speak up and try to win people's hearts. But still, Jean did not show any flattery or joy towards him. He was a m.a.t.u.r.e and stable man.

This made him appreciate Jean Widjaya more.

After Dennis turned away from him, he looked at Leonard in turn and smiled lightly saying, "I heard that you used to be a police inspector in our capital before, why did you suddenly quit your job?"

Leonard replied calmly and seriously, "For me, Mellisa is everything in my life. Wherever she is, I will follow her."

Mellisa tried to hide her shock as she heard the man's reply.

Dennis… was immediately at a loss for words!

He clenched his fist to the corner of his lips, then coughed and muttered, "That's good, good."

Mellisa looked down and kicked Leonard under the table.

She glared at him as if saying, 'Can you stop talking nonsense?'

Leonard just sat like a mountain, Mellisa's kick didn't affect him at all.

After chatting for a while, the dish was ready. Grandpa Caleb waved his hand and the family banquet had officially begun.

During the banquet, the old man continued to serve dishes in Lilia and Mellisa's bowls. This grandfather was afraid that his two grandchildren were still nervous that they didn't want to eat. Just like all the elders who loved the younger generation, he continued to say, "Come on, eat more. You two are too skinny!"

...

In the middle of the family banquet, the sound of the cutlery started to slow down.

This time, the man sitting next to Dennis gave Lilia and Mellisa a faint look. "Lilia, I am your second uncle, Felix. I'm very happy to finally meet you!"

Felix, forty-eight, was currently chairman of the military industrial company Mayer and was the second son of Caleb.

Lilia put down her plate and cutlery then smiled sweetly. "It's nice to meet you, second uncle."

This time, Felix looked at Mellisa then took his spoon and swung it in the air. "Mellisa, this time I will give you a gift. You've worked really hard to get Lilia back into our family's arms."

"Take it easy, I'm not as cheap as your previous uncle. After I found out the two of you were coming this afternoon, I already sent someone to order two sports cars for you both. I purposely ordered one for each person so you don't have to fight," he added.

Dennis then joked coldly on the side. "Felix, how much is a sports car now?"

Felix smiled and said, "Not expensive, trust me. I bought both cars at a discount! Anyway, not as expensive as your jade bracelet."

That's pure fart!

Dennis glanced at him and wanted to hit him with his fist.

Since he was a diplomat, the gifts given to the two girls were all more symbolic. 

And now, what did that little brother just say? He was not as elusive as he was? It's not how expensive their gifts were, but it should make Mellisa and Lilia feel like they were accepted into the Mayer family.

But hearing that his younger brother gave them each a sports car, it was obvious that these symbolic gifts lost so badly compared to his! 

In the end, wasn't it like a slap to the face?
