My Supermodel Wife

Chapter 942 - Troubles In The Austin Family

Lunchtime was drawing near, and the Widjaya family's kitchen was full of people.

Lian and Vina are being cared for in the nursery. While the maid was serving the food, Claire elbowed Lilia beside her. "When are you going to work again?"

"Should be soon. Maybe I'll be on a reality show next year!"

Claire was surprised. "You want to participate in a reality show? When it's broadcast, I have to make sure I'm keeping up with the storyline then."

Lilia glanced at the man next to her silently, and then immediately whispered in her sister-in-law's ear. "Jean will also participate."

Hearing this, Claire's eyes suspiciously glanced at her. "Did he want to be the air conditioner or refrigerator with that cold face?"

Lilia laughed inside, then both looked at each other with a smile.

...

On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Chris and the others left the Widjaya's house after lunch.

At eleven at night, lots of New Year's celebrations were broadcast live on TV.

Jimmy the butler came in through the door, and reported enthusiastically. "Fireworks and firecrackers are ready. Sir, madam, would you like to go out and light them?"

The Widjaya family's house is located in a secluded place, the sound of fireworks will not affect other places.

At this time, James glanced at Jean, opened his mouth, and suggested, "Jean, Andrew, you take Lilia and Claire to play, me and your sister-in-law will not go."

The man slowly carried Lilia in. "Come on, this will be good."

The temperature is quite cold at night in December.

Lilia walks out the door enthusiastically, she can't wait to see the fireworks.

Her hand is held by the man and placed in his pocket, following Jimmy to the open space in front of the garden.

Claire and Andrew were seen walking behind them. Maybe it's time to cool off the sweetness of passionate love. They don't hold hands, but walk slowly side by side.

Andrew saw the gap between them, then slowed down, and looked at Claire on the side. "Are you in a better mood?"

Claire didn't see him, and replied lightly, "Much better."

With her nonchalant attitude, Andrew sighed weakly. "Grandpa just really wanted a grandson from the past, but that doesn't mean he hates Vina. Don't think too much, the old man's mindset must be a little patriarchal. Everything will be fine in the end."

Hearing this, Claire took a deep breath, turned to look at him, furrowed her brow and said, "Since our child was born, how many times has your father hugged her? Is she really a descendant of the Austin family? Is a boy always superior to a girl? Even if the Austin family is thinking of an heir, I can train Vina to become a queen!"

It doesn't make sense to hate her child just because of her gender.

The old man's persistent thoughts may be difficult to change, but Claire Widjaya is not someone who can accept injustice.

Therefore, she chose to return to Surabaya to celebrate the New Year because the old man was too indifferent towards her daughter.

At this moment, Andrew scratched his forehead a little helplessly. He frowned and pulled Claire. Standing in the cold night wind, he said plainly, "Claire, can you not say things like that? I know you have been blamed since the birth of our child, but I have also worked very hard to silence them. Give me some time, okay? They are old and their mindset just can't be helped. Trust me, as time goes on, they will become more open-minded."

At this time, Claire was forced to face Andrew.

She didn't look up, looked at her hands, and it took a long time for her to smile faintly. "I'll give you time, and only when they can accept Vina will I return to the Austin family home."

Andrew's expression changed. His brows were full of tiredness.

On one side was his wife, on the other was a stubborn old man.

He was caught in such a deep dilemma!

Andrew quietly pressed the corners of his lips, caressed Claire's warm palm, and finally opened his mouth in a sign of compromise. "If you have decided then I will follow suit. We are going back to Jakarta after waiting a few months, so let's just take this time to let everyone calm down. Maybe dad will start to miss our daughter. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter until it's over."

Claire fell silent without saying a word, catching Andrew's hand.

She took two steps forward, suppressed the awkward emotions in her heart, looked up at the calm night sky, and laughed as if mocking herself.

No matter how deep the love was, there was no way to stop the trifles in the family.

Claire thought to herself that she might have faced a bloody topic that some women might face after marriage.

The birth of a daughter has been fraught with unfriendly prejudices since ancient times.

She took a deep breath, and realized that Andrew wasn't following, so she looked back at him. "Why don't you come? Don't you want to see the fireworks?"

Andrew glared at her. His thin lips are slightly sideways. "Yes, yes."

Although the two of them couldn't resolve the problem within the Austin family for now, neither of the two wanted to strain their feelings because of this incident.

Claire knew Andrew's dilemma, and Andrew also knew Claire's complaint.

After marriage, life is mostly like wings, maybe only with the support of both parties can they overcome this obstacle together.

...

A few minutes later, Lilia and Jean had arrived at a small garden.

Her husband held her hand, ignoring that Lilia was sweating a little at this time. As she struggled to get his hands out, her eyes flashed, and she looked into the distance suspiciously. "Are they fighting?"

The man's gentle gaze watched Lilia curiously. "How do you know?"

Lilia whispered while playing with her fingers. "Their arrival itself is quite strange if I may say. Even though it seems normal, I can feel that Claire is not happy at all. The child is only half a year old, but the Austin family is willing to let their granddaughter spend New Year's Eve in Surabaya? Isn't that a bit strange?"

Just like her grandfather whom she just had a video call with a few days ago, Kaleb told her not to bring Lian back to the capital.

Although his love for Lian cannot be expressed in words, he still puts Lian first, for fear that the little boy will fall ill on his journey.

At this time, the man once again grabbed Lilia's hand and put it back in his coat pocket.

Then he turned to look at Claire, and said in a low voice, "Among the three generations of the Austin family, the first child of each generation is a boy. Vina's presence has violated it, and the Patriarch of the Austin family may not be able to accept her for a while. But that doesn't matter. If the Austin family doesn't want to accept this granddaughter, the Widjaya family will gladly accept her."

Lilia frowned in surprise. "So what if it's a girl? Do the Austins really not want her? They're exaggerating a lot. Vina is the first granddaughter of the Austin family, so they should love her."

The man turned his gaze to look at Lilia's slightly worried brows, then said patiently, "We can't interfere with things like this. After marriage, the relationship with the in-laws can only be handled by my own sister.. Don't worry about them, she is not someone who can be easily intimidated by others."
