Chapter 334 - Young Couple



"Jean, how about we take a little walk? The garden in this house is really beautiful," she suggested while smiling innocently. But her eyes said that she was fed up with Leila\'s acting.

"Okay," Jean got up from his chair and reached out to Lilia.

The man pulled Lilia to her feet, then immediately wrapped his arms around her waist. Jean\'s protective attitude made Lilia feel safe and at ease, as if everything was going to be alright.

Jean looked at Lilia with an indulgent gaze, then he turned his gaze to Leila. The man\'s eyes turned dark and cold, making Leila hurriedly lower her head.

As they both left the greenhouse to tour the garden, Jenny gracefully put down her spoon. She wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin and looked towards the main house.

"Janice, I haven\'t been back to the main house in a while. I heard that the house was recently renovated, huh? If I\'m not mistaken, the rooms in the wing of the building have been repaired. Will you take me to have a look?" Jenny asked.

Janice\'s eyes still followed Lilia. When she heard Jenny\'s words, she smiled and stood up. "Of course, Sister Jenny. I\'ll show you around," she happily answered.

Since earlier, Janice was always looking for opportunities to approach Lilia. It just so happened that the couple also came out of the greenhouse. She wanted to observe Lilia, who was so much like Mellisa, more closely.

Meanwhile, Leila was still acting in front of Mike. When she saw that the wine glass in front of Mike was empty, she spontaneously wanted to refill it.

On the other hand, Mike said nothing. He was just watching Leila\'s behavior with a cold gaze.

From the start of the birthday party, Mike was vaguely aware of the sometimes fuzzy interactions between Jean and his brother Andrew. He also did not escape seeing the Pangestu Family couple being taken away. For some reason, Mike had a feeling that something was going to happen tonight.

Mike looked up to look at Leila. Disgust flashed through his eyes, yet he immediately erased that expression. Mike pulled up the chair beside him and patted the empty chair.

"If you want to toast me, are you sure you can drink up?" Mike asked in his usual mocking tone.

Leila\'s eyes lit up immediately. "Brother Mike, you know I can\'t drink too much. I\'m not doing very well today, but I can accompany you for a couple of drinks," she said, excited. This was the first time Mike had offered her a drink together!

Mike\'s lips lifted into an evil smile. "Then sit down. Two shots will be enough!"

In the outdoor garden, the temperature was getting colder. Not a single starlight could be seen in the night sky. Instead, there was fog of clouds that created a mystical atmosphere.

Lilia was wearing Jean\'s suit, which felt thick and warm. Even so, the coat could not completely ward off the cold. Lilia pressed the jacket tighter while shivering.

Jean noticed Lilia\'s condition from walking beside her. He approached and pulled the woman into his arms. "If it\'s too cold for you, we can go back inside," he advised.

Lilia shook her head and turned towards Jean. His handsome and elegant silhouette made Lilia\'s heart beat even faster. She stood on tiptoe, then landed a light kiss on the man\'s cheek. Lilia tried to express her gratitude for being accompanied in this way.

Jean stood there for a moment. Then he smiled gently at Lilia and pinched her cold ears with his fingertips.

"Do you remember what I said?" Jean asked.

Lilia frowned and racked her brains. But she didn\'t know which one the man meant. "Which one? You have said a lot of things to me," Lilia said with a chuckle. Somehow, this small conversation with Jean could make her hurt feelings slowly heal.

Jean said, "The first night you came to Jakarta."

Lilia thought for a moment before her eyes widened. "Ah, I remember," she nodded with a smile.

That night, Jean said, "If you want to find out the truth about yourself, you don\'t have to worry about other things,"

"Jean, I ..."

"Lilia!"

Lilia was about to explain, but someone\'s voice interrupted her. She and Jean then turned around at the same time. They saw Jenny and Janice walking side by side toward them from the direction of the greenhouse.

Jenny smiled mischievously and joked, "Janice, look at this young couple. How lovely they are!"

Under the light of the garden lamp, Lilia nodded to the two women in a polite manner. "Aunt Jenny, Mrs. Janice," she greeted.

"I happened to want to visit the main house with Janice. If the two of you are currently free, why not go with us?" Jenny suggested with a smile. Her eyes alternated between Lilia and Jean.

Lilia and Jean exchanged glances for a moment, but they didn\'t shy away from Jenny\'s kind invitation. "Alright, we\'ll go with Aunt Jenny and Mrs. Janice if it\'s not a bother," Lilia spoke up.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the tea room inside the main house. Janice noticed that Lilia was wearing Jean\'s suit and looked cold.

Janice stood in front of the tea room and said, "Sis Jenny, this tea room is a new addition. They just finished adding it a few weeks ago."

Jenny nodded. "I guess Dad asked that this tea room be made?" She guessed.

Janice laughed and nodded. "You\'re right. Dad used to like drinking tea here. Every afternoon, he would come here to chat with Richard and the others. Anyway, how about we come in and have a cup of tea?" Janice offered.

Jenny glanced at Lilia. She also noticed that the model looked cold. "Why not? I wonder what this special room for drinking tea looks like."

In the tea room, Janice ordered the maid to prepare a pot of tea. The room was warm and the aroma of tea lingered in the air.

The tea room contained a square table and several low wooden stools. There were also ink paintings created by Simon hanging on the walls, adding a touch of warmth to this antique-themed room.

The four of them sat around the table. Jenny sipped her tea quietly. Then she looked at Janice meaningfully.

"You see, today\'s world is really unique. There are a lot of strange things that happen every day," Jenny started the conversation.

After she confirmed that she had everyone\'s attention, Jenny continued, "I watched some very interesting news two days ago. It was said that there were two pregnant women from two different families. They gave birth in the same hospital. Both were giving birth to a daughter,"

Lilia gasped when she heard that. But Jenny luckily didn\'t notice the woman\'s reaction.

"After the birth, the nurse was in a rush and incorrectly entered the identity cards of the two babies,"

Jenny deliberately lowered her voice to create a dramatic effect.

"According to the news, it has been more than 20 years since they switched. One of the children was hospitalized with a serious illness.. When the blood type was checked, it turned out that she did not match the blood type of her parents. It made her parents fight over who had cheated whom,"
