My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

—Los Angeles, United States.

Clifford drove and soon arrived at an apartment on the edge of town.

This place was very familiar to him. The coffee shop on the corner can be seen outside the window. He couldn't help remembering that when he was with Merry, the little girl preferred to eat the food at the coffee shop.

This apartment is located a little bit far from the city center.

From the window, Lilia could see a very majestic tall building.

After the car stopped, Lilia got out of the car, and with her bare feet she lazily leaned on her man.

"Are you uncomfortable?" The man placed a hand on her slender waist and stared at her slightly white cheeks with a frown.

After more than twelve hours of flying, she was really tired, and her body seemed like she couldn't take it anymore.

Thinking of this, Jean was very upset. He thought that it would be better for them if they got transit on their return trip. At least her wife can rest first.

At this time, Lilia was leaning in front of the man's arm. She covered the corner of her mouth and yawned. "No discomfort, just a little sleepiness."

She's been sleeping all the way, but she still feels sleepy here.

Lilia forcefully opened her eyelids, stomped her wool boots twice on the ground, spread her brows, and then stretched out her hands. "Oh, does Merry live here?"

Chris, who pushed the suitcase behind her, opened his mouth and said, "Come on, let's get in."

The group was still standing in the same place, looking at the figure of Chris who led them when they entered the lobby. Why did they suddenly feel like guests in his house?!

Lilia smiled shallowly, Jean stretched out his warm palm, then whispered in her ear, "If you are tired, take a nap."

"I'm not tired, I'm fine." She gave the man a bright smile and went to the lobby side by side.

Unfortunately, however, Merry was not at home.

Currently, Lilia and Jean are sitting in the living room of Chris' apartment.

The layout of the room is very simple, these two bedrooms and one living room look very bright.

However, since it had been uninhabited for a long time, fine dust roamed the air.

Chris' suitcase is still in the most prominent place in the living room. He looks gloomy, and he sulks on the sofa.

The apartment's door was still open. They could see the door to Merry's room from where they were sitting.

When they came to the United States, they didn't tell the little girl beforehand.

At this time, although there is no Chinese New Year tradition in the United States, the school is supposed to be on winter break.

Lilia looked at Chris. "Want me to call Merry?"

"No need."

Chris got up neatly, walked out the door, then stood in the corridor and looked around. The man then walked over to the door at the end and knocked on it with great force. 

His fist slowly pounded the door, expressing his anxiety and impatience.

He wanted to surprise that little girl.

But since she was not in the apartment, Chris became very confused.

Merry is a stranger in the United States. When Chris was here with her, she rarely went out. She usually liked to play games or pronounce words in the apartment.

This is what confuses Chris. She's not in his apartment even though it's still ten in the morning. Did she already go and play? With whom? Male or female friends?"

Lilia heard Chris as if she wanted to destroy the door. Out of curiosity, she also stepped into the corridor.

She didn't hesitate. The door opened slowly. When the other party saw Chris, she was very surprised. She was stunned for a long time before she said, "Chris, why are you here?"

"Where is she?" Chris narrowed his eyes, and there was a dark, dangerous flash in his eyes.

The man standing opposite him was the family's guard from Merry.

The guard said. "Miss has gone to the cinema, people from the second team followed her."

Chris' heart is burning!

"Did she go alone?"

The bodyguard looked at him carefully, touched the bridge of his nose and muttered, "Not alone, Miss went with a classmate."

"Woman?" Chris tried to fool himself.

The bodyguard shook his head and sweated. "Man, his name is Rico."

Rico Andana is Merry's classmate who keeps bothering her all the time.

Chris' face immediately turned ugly. He still remembered that when he went to the library to find her for the first time, the smelly boy tried to put his hand on his girl.

Now, since when did the two of them go to the cinema like this?!

The bodyguard peeked at Chris' changing face, then added, "Mr. Chris, they didn't go alone together. It seems like their female classmate is coming along. The three of them went together."

The expression on Chris' face died down a few seconds later, then he immediately stared at him. "Next time say it clearly!"

Bodyguard. "..."

What's wrong with going to the movies with friends?!

...

Lilia saw Chris' figure turning around from the end of the corridor, and a cloud of doubt floated into her eyes. "Is Merry out?"

Chris said bitterly, "Looks like she went to the cinema with her classmates. You better rest in your room. I'll go find her."

"Where are you going to look for her?" She looked at Chris suspiciously. Should she have told Merry beforehand?

None of them had told Merry that they were coming to spend the Lunar New Year with her.

Sometimes surprises are best given when the receiver least expected it.

Although it was no big deal, she was really looking forward to what kind of expression the little girl would have when she saw them coming to visit her.

At this time, Chris walked over and smoothed his coat. "She's followed by the bodyguards from her family. I'll catch up with her and bring her back later."

Lilia blinked and suggested, "Wait a minute, shall we go together?"

Hearing that, the man also got up from the sofa, with a steady speed and said, "Let him go.  I'll accompany you downstairs to rest in our room, okay?"

Our room….

Lilia couldn't hold the corner of her mouth rising, knowing that she didn't want to let herself out again. Helplessly, she nodded and agreed. "Okay. Chris, I hope you found Merry as soon as possible. Just say that we came for a vacation."

Chris stood on the carpet in the corridor and glanced at Jean.

"Lock the door for me while you're gone!"

Chris then quickly turned and walked towards the elevator.

...

Lilia and Jean headed back downstairs. The corridor here is colored yellow, and brown apartment doors indicate a quirky habit of the United States.

Their luggage had been sent back to the room by Clifford and the others.

When they pushed open the door, bright sunlight poured in from the window. The lighting here was great, and they got to enjoy rare good weather today.

Lilia took a deep breath, then walked to the window with arched eyebrows. "This year, my first Chinese New Year abroad..."

The man closed the door with the back of his hand, then walked slowly behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. 

"If you like, I'll accompany you here every year."
