Chapter 372 - I Like You

Name:My Supermodel Wife Author:Renata99
Mike and Leila are indeed bound by a marriage contract. Even though the Irwan Family intends to terminate the contract, it still depends on what the Austin Family wants.

Mellisa is not a girl who is used to keeping childhood love in her heart, so that her sensitivity to other people's feelings is almost zero. She never even thought that Mike's heart would fall on her for so many years. Therefore, Mellisa only reminded Mike with the sincere intentions of a childhood friend.

Hearing this, Mike looked intently at Mellisa. There was a cold glint in his eyes, and he was secretly laughing at himself. He was so stupid to expect something from this completely insensitive woman!

"What if I said that I actually like Leila? Would you agree if I stayed with her?" When he realized, Mike had uttered a hurtful sentence he didn't mean. The man hastily closed his mouth, but he couldn't take it back.

Fortunately, Mellisa doesn't know much about Mike's thinking. He doesn't know that the distance between Mike and Leila has gotten further since his accident. Mellisa still thinks that the two of them are as close as ever.

After thinking about it carefully, Mellisa still said what she thought was most appropriate. "It's your business, and it's no use for me to say anything. But I still want to change your mind. Leila isn't really the best choice for you." Mellisa said honestly.

"Then who do you think is suitable for me?" Mike asked, his eyes sparkling.

Mellisa glanced at him lightly, then she shook her head and laughed. "How do I know? It depends who you like!" Reply.

"I like you-"

Just as Mike made those words in a half-hesitant tone, the ward doors swung open without warning. The courage Mike had worked so hard to muster faded away.

Mike looked at Mellisa anxiously, wondering how she would react to what she had just said. But when he saw her expression, Mike no longer wanted to express his feelings. Because he had seen this scene with his own eyes.

Mellisa has always been lukewarm from the beginning of their conversation to the present. Even though the woman smiled at him, Mike couldn't see the joy on her face. Just like five years ago, Mellisa's attitude was always indifferent and icy cold.

However, by the time the ward door opened, Mike actually saw an expression he had never seen before on Mellisa's face. The woman seemed so alive just because of the presence of a man. Even his back became straighter without realizing it.

Now, all of Mellisa's joy, anger, and sadness can be influenced by other men. This fact destroyed Mike's courage and hope.

Her sister Andrew said that Mellisa had changed her name and has not been called Mellisa Irwan since the accident. In these five years, things have not changed from Mellisa. But more things had changed from it. Mellisa is no longer the woman Mike knows.

Mike felt like an audience in a sad drama. He was forced to watch the woman he loved focus all his gaze on another man.

Since long time ago, Mellisa has always treated him as a brother. Mike thought that if he grew up, Mellisa's view of him would change. But until now, their relationship has not changed. No, to be more precise, it was Mike who refused to change.

Mike continued to press and hide his true feelings. He lived in Mellisa's shadow and hoped something would happen. Mike didn't dare to come forward and confess his feelings, but he didn't dare to back down either. The man only feels sorry for himself without taking action to change. Therefore, Mike has no right to hate Leonard, who stole Mellisa from him.

Mike only left a few parting words before hurriedly turning around and leaving the ward. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would not be able to hold back. Mike was very tempted to ask Leonard what he had done to Mellisa.

What, exactly, was able to make that woman so attracted to him? Could Leonard tell him what he had done? If Leonard could, he was willing to do everything. As long as Mellisa's eyes could catch her for just a moment, it was very precious to Mike.

Unfortunately, it's useless.

Mike knows Mellisa too well. He knew what it meant when such a stubborn and persistent person showed a rare side of himself in front of other men.

Mike stopped walking down the hospital corridors and sighed heavily. Just as he was about to confess his feelings, he was told that he had been sadly defeated. But the fact is there is neither fight nor win nor lose in this matter. All because Mike wasn't actually involved for a second in this battle.

Mike just liked Mellisa one-sidedly without daring to do anything to make her turn to him. Jeez, he's so useless!

*****

Mike's turning and hurried away left a clear impression on Mellisa's eyes. She doesn't know what's wrong with Mike, but she thinks that five years might really change lots of people and things.

But such emotions didn't cause Mellisa any problems. When her eyes fell on Leonard again, she couldn't help telling the truth.

"You came out on purpose, right?"

Even though Leonard came back with a bottle of iodophore in his hand, Mellisa still thought so.

Leonard nodded briefly, then returned to the bedside table again. She said in a light voice, "What were you talking about earlier? It seems like she's not in a good mood."

Mellisa thought for a moment, then she bluntly replied, "I just said something about her marriage contract with Leila. Maybe that topic is a little too sensitive for her. I'll have to apologize to her later."

Leonard's movements automatically stopped when he heard that. She turned towards Mellisa, who was still wearing the blanket. "What else did you tell him about the marriage contract?"

Mellisa cocked her head in confusion. "No, I didn't say anything else." The answer is honest.

Her innocent expression made Leonard smile faintly. Mellisa is truly a clean and immature woman. Couldn't that woman see that Mike had obviously liked her a long time ago? But this innocent side of Mellisa is also adorable to Leonard.

*****

In the afternoon, Claire and Andrew took the time to come to the hospital. When Claire learns that Lilia will bring Mellisa back to Surabaya, she drags the two sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk.

As a result, the men inside the ward were kicked out by Claire. Jean, Leonard and Andrew stood in the garden outside smoking and chatting with each other.

Today, Andrew is behaving unusually. She continued to steal glances at Leonard while smoking a cigarette. His expression was filled with anxiety that could not be hidden.

This afternoon, Mike suddenly came to Andrew's house. The first thing his brother asked was if Andrew had a way to get Mike to work in Surabaya. Mike even suggested that Andrew could open a branch office in Surabaya. In essence, the boy wanted to go to Surabaya with Mellisa.

Andrew didn't refuse right away, but he didn't really agree.

When he came to the hospital this afternoon, he wanted to know the extent to which Leonard and Mellisa's relationship had progressed. Did poor little brother even have a chance?
