"Lilly!"
Mr. Lincoln called the woman before him with quivering lips, he had not expected to be reunited with Lili after almost twenty-three years of not meeting.
Lili who was looking down immediately turned her face towards the voice, her eyes immediately rounded perfectly when she saw the master Lincoln who was in front of her.
"A-Alex" he said.
Leandra and Leonel fell silent with confused faces because it turned out that Lili and Mr. Lincoln knew each other, even the gaze of Mr. Lincoln seemed different when looking at Lili's face.
Like there was such a great love that had been so long hidden, even the middle-aged man seemed to want to hug Lili so tightly.
"Lili, I miss you so much."
Mr. Lincoln said that to Lili without feeling awkward about Lindsay beside him, he was impressed to express his feelings for Lili without caring about Lindsay who looked at Mr. Lincoln with tears that had flowed on both cheeks.
Lili turned her face the other way, as if she wanted to run. Unfortunately, Lili's legs seemed so difficult to move.
"Lili, I-I"
Mr. Lincoln did not continue his words, he immediately brushed off Lindsay's hand slowly coiling around his arm.
Then, he walked over to Lili and without hesitation hugged the woman he so longed for. Lili fell silent without returning a hug from Mr. Lincoln, she looked shocked.
Leonel was really confused about what to behave like, because in reality he did not know what exactly there was a relationship between Lili and also Mr. Lincoln.
Although Lili lived in Harold's residence since she was a child, Lili was a reclusive person and never told anything about her personal life.
Leandra was so shocked to see that, she just fell silent while looking at her father who was hugging another woman in front of her own mother.
"I love you, Lili. I still love you so much, my feelings have always been the same for you. Why did you leave me, hem? Why are you so brave?" asked Mr. Lincoln in a loud voice as he continued to cry.
Lili couldn't answer anything, she just fell silent while breathing the body scent that she so longed for.
He just fell silent while listening to Mr. Lincoln's heartbeat sounding so loud, he was just him and enjoying a hug from Mr. Lincoln.
Lindsay, who saw Leandra so shocked, walked over to her daughter, and she gently pulled her daughter into her arms.
Leandra stretched her arms, then she looked at Lindsay's face so intently.
"What's this, Mom? What's the connection between Daddy and Aunt Lili?" ask Leandra lirih.
For a moment Lindsay was silent, she was confused to explain what her daughter was. However, not long after, a heavy sigh was heard from Lindsay's lips.
"Let Daddy explain later" he whispered.
Leandra was eager to raise her protest when she heard what her mother said, but after seeing such a deep sadness in her mother's eyes, she dared not say anything.
He was only able to cleared his throat as a sign if he was obedient to his parents, he could not be rash for not knowing anything.
"Hem" Leandra replied, nodding her head and hugging her mother again.
Seeing the extremely awkward state, Leonel cleared his throat several times. Then, he deliberately spoke so that the atmosphere in the dining room did not feel strange like this time.
"Ehm! Mr Lincoln, can we have dinner first?" leonel asked while scratching his temple.
He actually felt very confused by what he saw, but he was unable to ask. Her lips are like a mute.
Hearing what Leonel said, Mr. Lincoln who was expressing his longing towards Lili immediately broke his embrace.
He rubbed his tears that just kept flowing endlessly on both cheeks, he tried to smile at Leonel and said.
Hearing what Mr. Lincoln said, Leandra and Leonel looked so shocked.
"Wife!" strangled Leandra and Leonel simultaneously.
"Yes, she's still my wife. Even if you haven't seen each other for a very long time" replied Mr. Lincoln.
If Leonel and Leandra look so shocked, different from Lindsay. He was silent with tears flowing back down his cheeks.
He felt that in a moment Mr. Lincoln would leave him who had accompanied Mr. Lincoln since he was abandoned by Lili, leaving because of him and also Mr. Luke, the father of Mr. Lincoln.
"Yes, she's my wife. He was so willing to leave me when I was in trouble, but one thing that made me still love him so much and want to pursue him even to the end of the world though. She-"
Lili who had been silent since last time was seen covering Mr. Lincoln's mouth with her palm, she felt bad when she saw Leandra and also Lindsay who looked at her with a difficult gaze to interpret.
"I'm sorry, Alex. I leave you to the success you deserve, for now you don't have to consider me a wife anymore. Because there's been another woman who-"
"Don't speak again Lili, all this time I've been trying to find you. I've always loved you, even if Lindsay is always by my side, I want you to come back to me. Please, Lili!" pinta Mr. Lincoln.
Lili immediately shook her head quickly, even though to date she loved Mr. Lincoln so much. It felt very unlikely for him to return again to the middle-aged man.
"Sorry, I can't possibly hurt your wife. After all we've not been together for a long time, leave me alone with my life. You are happy with your life now" Lili pinta.
Hearing what Lili said, Mr. Lincoln immediately grasped the two hands of the woman who was still his wife.
"Can't, you should come home with me. Don't leave me again" asked Mr. Lincoln.
After saying that, Mr. Lincoln hugged Lili again. It makes Leandra's heart warm up, he immediately pulled his father's hand violently.
"Daddy, please explain what really happened!" pinta Leandra with a look of dislike, because she felt that Mr. Lincoln did not appreciate Lindsay's feelings at all.
Realizing that his daughter was there too, Mr. Lincoln smiled as he gently stroked the top of her head.
"All right, Daddy will explain. Daddy will tell you, let's eat first. I'm so hungry, what's more cooking is Lili. I miss my wife's cooking so much" said Mr. Lincoln.
Finally, tonight Leonel, Leandra, Lili and Lindsay are seen eating awkwardly.
Unlike Mr. Lincoln, he seemed to enjoy every meal Lili made. The middle-aged man did his dinner with a smile that continued to expand on his lips.
Leandra even recently saw her father so happy, but usually Mr. Lincoln will be flat and grumpy.
"Taste you good, honey. I love it, I miss your cooking. Especially now that I can be with you again," he said as he looked at Lili with a loving gaze.
Leandra immediately turned her face towards Lindsay when she heard Mr. Lincoln say that, she looked closely at her mother's face.
There was a deep look of sadness on Lindsay's face, but she didn't want to say anything. It really made Leandra confused.
Leandra was so upset to see Mr. Lincoln staring at Lili with love, but why did her mother seem to not mind what her father did, she thought.
"Mom, why are you quiet. Is Mom not jealous?" leandra asked curiously because Lindsey was silent.
In the drama series that she had watched, if her husband made out with other women or praised other women then the wife will do something reckless.
At least the wife would slap or grab the hair of the woman who was thought to take over her husband's attention, but she felt that Lindsay was so different.
Lindsay who was looking down and trying to swallow food painstakingly turned her face towards her daughter, then she forced her smile and said.
"Mom just, just---"
