Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 226 - Starting From The Beginning

Oscar hugged Lisa tighter and brought his face closer to her ear. He exhaled softly to make the woman's whole body tremble. 

"Lisa..." He whispered softly. "Before you confessed your honest feelings for me just like now… I was planning to leave Jakarta forever because I can't forget you. But now, having heard your confession, I changed my mind. I'm not going to leave you, I'll stay by your side forever..."

"Oscar, why are you being so nice to me all of a sudden? What got into you to make you like this!?" Lisa asked, unable to believe what Oscar had said. She fixed her gaze to Oscar's face closely. She wanted to see how sincerely and truly the man loved her. She didn't want to be fooled again for the umpteenth time. She'd had enough sufferings in trying to find her love.

The man had a smile on his sensual lips, his eyes sparkling with joy as Lisa looked at him pitifully like an innocent kitten. "Lisa, I want to know your deepest feelings towards me. If indeed they are the same as what I feel, then my decision is unanimous. I'll stay in Jakarta with you,"

Lisa's pupils gradually widened when she heard Oscar's words just now. She still didn't believe Oscar's love for her. She felt like she was dreaming in a broad daylight today. How happy she was when she heard that man say that he still loved her. Lisa gripped Oscar's wide two hands tightly. The flow of love energy that came from within her body immediately flowed into Oscar's body through her firm grip.

"Oscar, please don't go . . ." Lisa said, begging with her sad eyes.

Without realizing it, Oscar brought his lips closer to Lisa's and then stole a kiss from her. The kiss was very affectionate and warm. A kiss with love that Lisa had never felt before. Her heart skipped a beat as the kiss deepened and intensified. The man hugged Lisa tighter until she remembered her mother who was still in the room alone.

"Oscar! I still have to return to my mother and look for her. I have to come back soon!" Lisa said hastily, releasing Oscar's kiss. The man immediately grabbed her waist and pulled her back in his arms.

"Don't go, just stay here with me for a while to release all of your longing," Oscar said earnestly. His expression looked mellow and pitiful.

"Oscar, it's not that I don't want to, but my mother is sick and I have to accompany her. What if she wants to eat or go to the bathroom?" Lisa replied, trying to convince Oscar to let her go.

"Didn't you say you wanted to come back with me again?"

"Oscar, my mom needs me. I can't leave her alone in her room!" Lisa replied. Her voice was slightly shrill than usual. Her expression started to look worried.

Oscar sighed, the man closed his eyes before he looked back at Lisa's beautiful face and said, "Alright... This is for my mother-in-law. I'm sorry, please go back to your mother's room."

Hearing the sentence just now made Lisa's eyebrows raised one. "Huh, Mother-in-law? Oscar, we've been divorced for a long time. I'm not your wife anymore,"

"I want us to reconcile, right away! I'll take care of everything," Oscar said steadfastly and confidently. 

'So this foreigner is serious about reconciling me?'

"Oscar, isn't that too fast? We just got better…"  Lisa asked, reassuring herself that Oscar's words were not just her illusion.

"Don't you want to reconcile with me?" Oscar asked, his gaze looking pitiful and his voice was sad and disappointed.

"That's not it. . . I'm just not ready for this in the near future. I still have to heal the inner wounds left by our past marriage. Please give me some time, and don't worry," Lisa stroked Oscar's cheek. She stared at the handsome man's face, mesmerized by the chiseled strong cheekbones.

"Okay, I'll give you time to think about it. But remember, you are mine and I will continue to fight for my love for you," Oscar said firmly. Both of his eyes radiated a strong sense of confidence.

Lisa and Oscar returned to room 101 to accompany Kumala, who had woken up from her sleep all day. The man looked at the middle-aged woman who was once his mother-in-law with a pitiful look. He felt sorry for her.

The man approached Kumala's bed slowly. He pulled the chair nearby then dropped his body on it. He grasped the middle aged woman's thin and wrinkled hand. Kumala stared intently at Oscar's face, she couldn't believe what she had just seen.

"Oscar…" Kumala muttered when the man smiled at her. "You... Why are you here?"

"Hello Mrs. Kumala, Lisa and I have reconciled and are planning to reconcile. Our relationship was ruined because of a misunderstanding, but now we've found a way out and I promise I'll look after Lisa in the future. Don't worry," Oscar explained politely in his deep, sexy voice.

Kumala was surprised to hear Oscar's explanation just now. As far as she could remember, she had arranged Lisa with her friend's son a few days ago. But now that Lisa got back with Oscar, Kumala felt she couldn't find a way out.

"How come I don't know? Why wasn't I informed?" Kumala asked, looking confused. Her brows were furrowed. The middle-aged woman immediately turned her gaze to Lisa while frowning then gestured for her to come over.

"Lisa… didn't you say you met my friend's son a while ago? Then, if you are with Oscar now, what will you do about the guy? What will you say about it later???" Kumala started to panic, she really didn't expect that Oscar would come back to Lisa again anytime soon. 

"Mom! Please, this is not the time to discuss matchmaking! You're sick, so it's best not to think too much and just take enough rest!" Lisa whispered.

Hearing the vague words from Lisa and Kumala just now made Oscar frown and wonder. What was the bedridden middle-aged woman talking about with Lisa?

"Lisa, please get me hot water! My throat is dry," Kumala said, pointing her fingers at the door. Lisa immediately rushed out to get it. Kumala deliberately made Lisa out so she could freely chat with Oscar.

Kumala stared at Oscar's confused face. She waved his hand at Oscar and said, "Son, come closer. I have something to ask,"

The tall, slender man stepped from where he was sitting and then leaned closer to Kumala. "What's wrong, Miss Kumala?"

"I want to ask but don't be angry, okay?"

"Please, just ask," Oscar hardened his ears.

"Why did you come back now? I know Lisa divorced you because you hurt her so badly. But why are you suddenly coming and planning to reconcile with Lisa now?"

The question made Oscar's throat choke, as if what his former mother-in-law had just said was an iron chain choking his neck until he was short of breath.

Oscar was silent for a long time. His eyes were glancing in a random direction, confused about how to answer. His slender fingers began to tremble as sweat starting to run down his broad palms. 

Oscar cleared his throat and said, "About that...."
