Things You Never Obtain

Lilia handed her suitcase to one of the maids and headed for the stairs. Her feet were just stepping on the bottom step when Sylvia suddenly said, "Wait a minute. How are your wedding plans with Jean Widjaya?"

Hearing that, Lilia was tempted to ignore her mother and immediately ran up to the second floor. But if she did, Sylvia would tell Robert and start a new round of fighting. With a heavy heart, Lilia turned towards Sylvia.

"I will sign our marriage certificate in the near future." Lilia replied. She was not lying— that's what she agreed with Jean yesterday. She just didn't say that she intended to postpone this marriage for a while.

Thinking about that man made Lilia miss the time they spent in Milan. To be precise, the time before Lilia read that damned text from William. Since then, Lilia hadn't opened a single message from William and deleted it right away. She didn't have the courage to read the contents.
