Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 225 - Old Love Grows Again

The golden-haired man put his slender index finger right on Lisa's lips. He leaned over and said, "You don't need to know about that matter. The most important thing is I have fulfilled my promise to get Karina so that the woman takes responsibility for the mistakes she did to you."

Lisa was speechless when the man looked at her closely. Oscar's eyes shone with sincerity and compassion. Without realizing it, Lisa hugged the man's body tightly then leaned her head on Oscar's shoulder. As she held back the sobs that were about to overflow her lips, Lisa said, "Thank you Oscar. I really thank you. Thank you for looking after me while I was in the hospital," 

Lisa wiped her tears then continued, "I have to admit that you were mean to me but even though we are divorced, I still can't forget you. My heart already loves you, Oscar. Every night, my mind is always haunted by the shadow of your handsome face. In fact, I still can't move on. But you don't need to worry, I won't force you to like and love me back. I just want to be honest that I still love you, Oscar...."

Her confession seemed to choke Oscar's neck. The man's throat felt choked, his whole body suddenly stiffened, as if he was turning into a stone. Only his heart was beating very fast. He still couldn't believe his own ears. Oscar's white face immediately flushed with embarrassment.

"Let me hold you for the last time, Oscar. I know I have no place in your heart, but..." Lisa said sadly. Her eyes grew more teary, then it fell like rain on Oscar's blue coat.

"What were you talking about just now, Lisa?" Oscar asked in surprise. The man pulled Lisa's chin to his face and looked into her dark eyes while frowning.

Lisa turned her face when the man met her eyes. She was too embarrassed to look Oscar directly in the face like this. The woman was silent for a moment then said, "You don't love me, and I know it. All you have in your heart is Clara. I don't want to be a homewrecker and destroy your love life. So we're both even now."

"Lisa what are you talking about? Don't you know how I feel about you?" Oscar replied hastily. His expression showed anxiety.

"Never mind, you don't have to care about my feelings anymore now. After all, you are leaving Jakarta with Clara for good today, right? I'll bid my goodbye, I hope you are happy in your new place," Lisa replied sadly and looked disappointed. Her cries filled the cabin of the car again. She still couldn't accept the fact that she and Oscar would never get back together again. Today was the last day she met her ex-husband. After that, both of them would live their own lives. It was so painful, what kind of magic did this man of European descent cast on Lisa that it was so hard  for her to forget him?

Hearing Lisa's statement which he thought was absurd and hurtful, Oscar immediately explained to her, "Don't you understand? I've told you a thousand times. The woman that is always in my heart is you. You are the woman I always wanted to protect and protect for the rest of my life. I'll  admit it, I liked Clara but that was in the past. My relationship with Clara is just friends, nothing more! I never even did anything to her. I'm sorry for making you upset…"

"You're lying Oscar, how can I trust you? Then who is William?" Lisa asked back. She still didn't believe the man's explanation.

"Clara adopted him. She felt that William resembled me so she adopted the boy to approach me with the hope that I would marry her. Still, I don't love Clara right now. I'm only helping her to take care of William because there is something inside William that makes me want to take care of him. But still, I won't love Clara anymore," Oscar explained again. The man sounded honest this time.

Lisa was not strong, she couldn't digest what she just heard. All the confessions and feelings that her ex-husband expressed made her even more upset and difficult to draw conclusions. Her life was too complicated, too complicated! Lisa held her spinning head. She closed her eyes, trying to calm her thoughts.

"Oscar, I don't understand anything... I swear... My head is dizzy... You said you didn't love Clara but you still married her?" Lisa asked, doubting Oscar's explanation just now.

"Who said I married Clara?" Oscar frowned, confused.

Lisa was surprised to hear his reply just now. "What? Are you not married to Clara?"

"Of course not! Since when did I say that I married her?"

"Then, the diamond ring that was in your coat's pocket when we were still married, isn't that for her?" Lisa asked curiously.

"That's stupid, Clara asked for a diamond ring for her birthday so I bought it. I didn't think the ring would make you think like that," Oscar explained bluntly.

Hearing Oscar's explanation, Lisa's mind was enlightened again. She racked her brains, trying to make sense of everything. Oscar was the president of a multinational company and very rich. It was certain that if he married Clara, Lisa would hear the news of their marriage from her co-workers. 

"Then the red lip marks on your collar at that time?" Lisa asked again.

"It was Clara who pulled me and kissed me. I was shocked and immediately dodged it," Oscar replied bluntly. 

"Why didn't you tell me, Oscar !?"

"How can I tell you if you don't give me a chance to explain!? You immediately assumed I was making love to Clara when you saw the red lips mark on my collar and threw me out."

Hearing all of Oscar's sincere and honest confessions made Lisa feel ashamed of herself. She was ashamed and guilty for making the assumption that Oscar loved Clara more than her. She regretted accusing Oscar of not loving her. 

The woman then gently pushed Oscar's broad chest away from her. She wiped her tears that had been flowing from her eyes. "Oscar, is it true that you will leave Jakarta forever?"

Oscar looked into Lisa's dark eyes that looked grim and then said, "Do you want me to go?"

Lisa's lips felt stiff. She couldn't get the words out of her throat when she heard Oscar's words just now. Even though that man repeatedly hurt her, Lisa still loved him. 

'Love makes everyone blind…' Lisa thought. 

"I don't know, I asked because I wanted to know. If it is really important and urgent, I can't prevent you from leaving," Lisa said with teary eyes.. She clasped her tiny hands together.
