My Supermodel Wife-Chapter 1007 - The Mansion
Even though Clifford knew Paul's favor over Merry when they met at the restaurant, he still rejected the other party's kindness for safety reasons.
After seeing this, the bodyguard did not insist, but immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.
After a few simple exchanges, the man handed the phone to Merry.
The little girl knew nothing, so when she brought her cell phone to her ear, she suddenly heard a familiar and friendly voice.
"Merry, have you arrived?"
Merry looked happy. "Uncle?"
"Yeah, it's me." Paul's friendly voice was heard again. "Since you are already in Jakarta, follow my bodyguard to the hotel. Chris is already on his way, and when he arrives, he will come to your place."
Merry listened to Paul's instructions and her eyes turned red. "Thank you, I have troubled you again! I promise I won't mess around in this town, I just want to find my mother."
"I know, it's fine. Since it's late, you should rest at the hotel first. If you have any difficulties during your stay, please notify my bodyguards at any time. But remember, do not act impulsively, so even if you're looking for someone, all of your actions must be measured well, you understand?
Merry nodded happily, she increasingly felt that Paul was a good father!
If she's really given the opportunity to switch father, she would have ran to Paul directly!
After this, Merry returned the phone to the bodyguard, and the three of them went straight to the car.
After all this scene, Anna continued to be silent on the side.
She glanced at Clifford calmly and bumped into him with her elbow. "Hey, did you give them our location?"
Clifford looked down blankly. "No."
Anna was surprised, she subconsciously mumbled. "Well luckily Uncle Merry is willing to help, otherwise wouldn't the three of us be in trouble in this town?"
When Merry found Clifford and asked him to accompany her to South Jakarta, Anna happened to be there.
In the past two days, her older brother Glen had been at the hotel busy dealing with Sylvester's family matters. She was already very tired of spending the day alone.
Knowing that Merry was going out, she also offered to come along.
It is conceivable that she would impulsively board a high-speed train, and then… almost get lost in the Indonesian capital!
If it weren't for Paul, she was afraid they wouldn't even be able to find the shadow of Merry's mother!
At this time, Clifford listened to Anna's involuntary sigh, and there was still uncertainty in his calm eyes.
Chris' words seemed right. Merry was an impulsive child, so she didn't plan everything carefully.
But he was also at fault for putting the little girl in a dangerous situation without notifying.
Luckily, there was Paul Hartanto.
Clifford sat in the car very anxiously, and his stern face grew even more dull.
...
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chris arrived at the Rockstar Hotel in the western part of South Jakarta.
He was still calling when he got out of the car. He then walked to the entrance of the lobby, looked up and saw Clifford smoking.
Chris hastily said a few words into the phone, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and stepped forward toward Clifford.
"Young master Chris!"
Standing in front of him, Chris heaved a long sigh of relief. He glanced at the lobby and asked, "Where are they?" f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Clifford nodded his head. "Miss Merry and Miss Anna are in the room. I want to apologize about today. I didn't think about it very well."
Chris smiled mockingly when he heard this, then took out a cigarette case while looking at Clifford. "Indeed, you are a little reckless, but it is indeed very difficult to resist the little girl's wishes. Since we've all been here, don't blame yourself too much. I've discussed this matter with Jean, he doesn't mind it. Before we go in, tell me what you know about the Laibahas family."
Clifford bit his cigarette butt. He blew smoke from his side and said, "They're currently led by Ivan as the patriarch. The influence of the Laibahas family is huge, almost all the shops on the old street are owned by them." 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
"Recently, there was a rumor that the Laibahas family rediscovered their family member who had been missing for 20 years. The newly discovered daughter of the Laibahas family is Ivan's younger sister. This news spread quickly, and it seems Ivan did it on purpose with the aim of letting the world know."
Chris listened intently to Clifford's narration, and nodded. "Where is the house of the Laibahas?"
"Near the Krukut River in the housing estate called The Mansion."
...
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, at the gate of the Laibahas house, the flow of the artificial lake in the garden could be heard. The flowers and greenery as far as the eye can see were so relaxing.
The mansion has a long history but its luxury is no less magnificent than a modern house.
At this moment, near the old ancestral hall in the backyard, a graceful woman in a plain white dress stopped in place. She looked at the entrance of the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestor of the Laibahas family while biting her lip.
"What are you doing?!" Suddenly, a low call came from behind her.
The woman heard the voice and looked back, and her gentle face was still unwavering.
She looked at the man who was walking slowly and smiled. "Older brother."
This person was the current head of the Laibahas family, the forty year old Ivan.
He wore a gray shirt and casual pants, and with a refined temperament, his face showed stability and maturity.
Ivan walked over and his eyes fell on Erika's face impartially. "What are you doing in the ancestral hall so early?"
Erika lowered her eyes sharply, wrapped her left arm with her right, and explained in a soft voice. "I want to see my parents..."
After hearing this, Ivan sighed silently. He paced in front of her, and cheered. "Mom and dad are probably still mad. When they've calmed down, they'll show up. It's still early, so it's best if you go to the front yard with me first. I have something to tell you."
Erika looked back at the pair of closed ancestral hall's wooden doors. She then nodded lightly, and followed Ivan out of the backyard.
It had been a week since she came back, but her parents still refused to see her.
Even if she knelt outside the ancestral hall for a day and a night, she would still not be forgiven by her parents.
She was young and reckless, she had been away for twenty years before returning to her hometown. Now, all she realized was how outrageous she was.
...
In the blink of an eye, Erika and Ivan came to the tea room in the front yard.
The two of them sat down one by one. Ivan took the teapot and looked to the opposite side with raised eyebrows. "I heard that you go to the ancestral hall every day."
Erika places her hands on her lap, sitting up straight in a good manner. After hearing Ivan's words, her breath condensed, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Even if I go every day, my parents still refuse to see me."
"Don't be so hasty. After all, you have been gone for 20 years. Wait a few more days, I'm sure they will forgive you! After all, you are their daughter."
Ivan's words were very relevant.
Erika pressed her lips slightly and looked at Ivan bitterly. "Brother, why did you take me back so easily? Am I not troublesome to you?"
"You yourself told me that you want to leave the Hiroshi family and be alone. Is there another place that can make you feel safe enough from the ears and eyes of the Hiroshi family than here?"
