Chapter 629 - Is This An Illusion?
Lilia leaned back a little and leaned on the man's shoulder. When she looked up, she could see his face up close.
Jean leaned over and kissed her, then Lilia said, "It's okay. You can feel the atmosphere during Chinese New Year together with our families only in Indonesia. But here, we only celebrate it ourselves. You know people here are less enthusiastic, but I heard that Chinatown here is very famous, we can go there if you have time."
??
The man's hands slowly caressed her stomach, then he nodded and kissed her cheek. "Okay, I'll accompany you later. Isn't sleeping on the plane uncomfortable? Do you want to take a rest now?"
His voice sounded firm but soft and pleasant at the same time.
Lilia rubbed her forehead against his cheek. "Are you going with me?"
"Of course!"
She led the man to the next room. The apartment was neither big nor small with only one bedroom.
Compared to the spacious but somewhat empty Lakeside Villa, it's warmer here.
...
As Chris was driving to the LA Studio, he saw two of Merry's bodyguards on the side of the road.
As he leaned forward and got out of the car, he was greeted by dust as soon as he closed the door with his hand.
Chris coughed irritably and gave a disgusted glance.
The car had been parked downstairs in the apartment for several months, and there was a lot of dust.
But he wanted to come to the theater as soon as possible, and he didn't have time to clean it up.
As soon as the guards saw Chris, the two of them immediately came. "Mr. Chris."
"Where is she?" Chris glanced behind the man, he did not see Merry at all. This made his heart feel like a piece of cotton and made it harder to breathe.
The two bodyguards looked at each other, then answered with serious faces. "She is in there, the movie hasn't started yet."
Chris coldly snorted. "Take me there."
...
In the waiting room of the cinema, Merry is seen sitting bored in the soft chair watching the movie trailer on the screen of her cellphone.
Next to her are two of her classmates, Rico and Yuna, who recently transferred to another school.
They are all compatriots, and out of everyone in the class, only the three of them are from the same country. Of course, this friendship made them close.
And Yuna, who has transferred to their school, clearly likes Rico.
"Rico, don't you want popcorn?" Yuna took the popcorn bucket, passed Merry, and handed it to Rico.
She was not a beautiful woman, and her facial features looked normal.
Only her silky hair is her biggest attraction.
When she spoke, Yuna's face was still full of smiles, and it seemed like she had a glance at Merry.
"No!" Rico lifted his head from the phone, glanced at the popcorn bucket, frowned. "You eat it yourself, I bought it for Merry."
The smile on Yuna's mouth froze. "She just said she didn't want to eat, right?"
Rico was too lazy to talk to her. He swiped the screen on his cellphone and hit Merry with his elbow. "How about watching this movie later? This is a newly introduced domestic teen college film. It should look good."
Merry glanced sadly at the screen, then shook her head. "I don't like it, you two watch it."
She came to the cinema today as Yuna's friend.
If it weren't for Yuna repeatedly begging her to take her out with Rico, why would she have to sit here?
It was so annoying, she wanted to go home to sleep, and lie in her bed and be lazy.
It's almost Chinese New Year, but she is alone overseas, and her life is very gloomy!
Rico is stunned by Merry, but he is not angry, and continues to search for movies with his cell phone. "Then what kind of movie do you like? I'll look it up again."
It was very difficult to invite Merry to go, he certainly would not miss an opportunity like this.
Yuna grabbed the popcorn bucket and was completely ignored. Her bony eyes glistened with displeasure.
Seeing Merry's beautiful cheeks, jealousy suddenly made her lose control, and she sprinkled popcorn all over her body on purpose.
"Eh!"
Merry wore a white cotton coat, and even white fur boots on her feet.
The popcorn dipped in sticky caramel sauce was stuck all over her clothes, and Yuna didn't say anything as she spilled it, even some popcorn got caught in her hair.
"What are you doing?" Rico groaned first, seeing the popcorn all over the floor, his face ugly.
If he read correctly, Yuna deliberately tilted the popcorn bucket to spill it on Merry and made her white cotton coat get dirty.
Yuna was holding an empty popcorn bucket with a sad expression on her face, her mouth flat. "I didn't mean it, my hands slipped."
There were a lot of people there, but Rico shouted and spoke in Indonesian. Many foreigners saw them and their eyes were still filled with curiosity.
Yuna felt that she had no face, but she blamed Merry!
At this time, Merry looked at the popcorn on her body, then stretched out a hand without saying a word.
She wiped her nose and lifted her head to look at Yuna. "Is it true you didn't do it on purpose?"
Yuna looked into Merry's big black eyes and nodded weakly. "Merry, of course it wasn't on purpose."
"But I think you did it on purpose!" Merry frowned, her pretty face became tense, and she was very upset.
When she said that, Yuna couldn't hold herself back anymore. As if she had a guilty conscience, her voice shot up. "Merry, how can you think that? We are friends!"
As her words fell, steady and strong footsteps came from the right side of the waiting room. "No friend does something like that to a friend!"
Merry's eyes suddenly went blank.
Why did she hear that man's voice again?!
Her dark eyes flickered and blinked. She couldn't help but scrape her ear with her fingers. She grinned and nodded. "Yes! You and I are not friends!"
When Merry said that, she stood up and immediately turned around to see who had helped her earlier.
The fierce aura she'd heard just now disappeared into thin air.
Merry held the tip of her nose and lifted her head excitedly. When her voice still couldn't come out of her mouth, her eyes were still focused on Chris' handsome and cold face.
She is stunned to see him.
Chris didn't say anything yet, as if he had thought of something but he immediately shut up.
he hummed softly, turned his head and stopped looking at her.
At this moment, Yuna stood up and looked at the man in front of Merry, with fear and wariness in her eyes.
This old man with a strong aura was hard to provoke at first glance.
He was tall and slender, especially with sharp eyes, which fell on her, making Yuna tremble in fear.
"Are you… Are you Merry's dad?" Yuna trembled and asked.
Rico looked at Yuna and pursed his lips in disgust.
He knew who Chris was because he had seen him before.
