Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 272 - Sisters Stay Sisters

"What are you doing here, Lis? You are no longer welcome in this house!" Bella yelled as she closed the fence. Her eyes were still fixed on Lisa, who was still staring at her with an astonished face.

"Bella, are you still mad at me?" Lisa asked spontaneously. She frowned.

"Why are you stunned by me? Do you hate it that I'm still alive?" Bella replied curtly. She walked over to Lisa and then looked at her with a sharp gaze.

"Bella I have no problem with you but why do you still insist on blaming me? Do you remember that time you lied to mom? You purposely hurt your hands with the hot water and then you said it was my fault in front of her. You really have a rotten heart, and I don't remember Mom to have such a daughter!" Lisa scolded at length. She pointed angrily at Bella's face.

"That's what you got for trying to stop me from going out with Rangga!"

"I don't want your future to be dark like me! You should understand that I have experienced something that you haven't experienced. Your future is still long ahead, don't waste it by dating and suffering in a relationship! Besides, were you dating Rangga at that time? What's wrong with you?" Lisa replied defensively.

"Then what are you doing back to this house? I swear your face makes me want to puke!"

The sentence that had just escaped Bella's lips was so painful that it made Lisa extremely offended. Her sister wasn't like the girl she knew. Bella used to be a sweet, obedient child and always listened to Lisa's advice. Now, her younger sister was a rebellious girl who dared to fight back.

"I'm here to visit mom! Don't think the world always revolves around you!" Lisa said, looking irritated and hurt.

Bella snorted and laughed lightly at Lisa's words just now. "You want to gain Mother's sympathy, right? But can you? Mother always thinks you are an irresponsible sister,"

The more she heard Bella's taints, the more offended Lisa was. Her heart felt so hurt, she didn't think she could hold back her anger anymore. Her patience was drained after hearing the vile words that escaped Bella's lips.

Lisa immediately grabbed Bella's collar and looked directly into her eyes. "Who do you think paid for your life expenses if not me, huh! Who pays the house tax and electricity costs if not me? Who do you think pays your tuition fee until you're able to have your thesis now, if not me? Where do you think the money to pay for your life comes from, huh?! You think they fall from a tree? From heaven!? You are so stupid, Bel!" Lisa snapped.

Bella didn't move at all, she was scared when Lisa yelled at her just now. 

"Come to think of it, who's the only one not working to earn some money in this house? Don't you realize your position now? You don't even bother to try and help our ruined family. You should be grateful because I didn't force you to work while studying! Let that sink in!" Lisa added, raising her voice.

Bella's ego turned out to be much bigger than her consciousness. Instead of admitting her mistake, she made excuses and rejected the truth.

"Alright! Who the hell asked for money from you? I can feed myself without your help. You think you're really great just because you can help me huh? You are so arrogant!"

"Fine, I'll accept your challenge. From now on don't ever ask me for tuition and pocket money again!" Lisa replied steadily and confidently. 

"I don't care about your money, Lis. Anyway, when I finish college, I'll look for a job and I won't ask for any more money from you. I'll pay for all the money you've ever given me. I swear I'll return every penny you spent on me!" Bella said sharply.

"Alright, no problem then. Anyway, if you mess up, don't blame me. Don't try to find an excuse or tell the lie that I never advise you to be a useful person!"

Bella ignored Lisa, she immediately entered the house with accelerated steps and then slammed the front door. 

Lisa caught up with her and then grabbed her shoulder and said, "Don't be weird, please. I'm your sister, I'm more experienced than you. Don't let your future be ruined because of a freaking relationship! Focus on your college and your career first! A mate can be found many times, but the opportunity to live with a bright future cannot be found twice!"

"Lisa, just admit it! You still love Rangga, right? That's why you're trying to block my effort, right? You're so rotten, you got back with Oscar but you still want Rangga! Oh, could it be that you're close to Rangga because you only want his money?" Bella said in a harsh tone.

"Bell, listen to me! I haven't even had a chance to tell you because I'm afraid I will break your heart. But because you are so stupid and stubborn that my head feel like splitting apart, I will to tell you the truth," Lisa said, pulling Bella's arm so that the girl wouldn't run to her room.

Bella was silent for a moment. Her breath was still chasing with annoyance. She brushed Lisa's hand and then crossed her arms, looking down at her big sister with condescension. "Alright, what do you want to say to me?"

"Rangga is not like what you imagine. Okay, I admit he's really nice to everyone including you and me, but he has an ex-girlfriend. And I heard his relationship with his ex-girlfriend was like an eternal cold war. It's still not clear! So Rangga is not really single."

"Then why? Besides, she's just an ex, she doesn't have the opportunity to get his love again right?" Bella replied, not wanting to lose the debate. "Do you think you are holy? As if you were never involved in a one-night stand and got pregnant outside of marriage with the big boss of a multinational company?"

Lisa sighed at Bella, who still insisted on not wanting to lose the debate. "Rangga has a son, he's already a father. Do you think you will be able to take care of his child if you go out with him and marry him?"

Hearing the sentence just now felt like lightning struck Bella until she fell to her knees on the cold asphalt. 

"What?! Brother Rangga is a widower with one child?! Is that his son with his ex-girlfriend!???" Bella asked, very surprised.

"No, that's his adopted son," Lisa said briefly.

"No way, how did that happen!? Lis, why did you just say it now?"

"Of course you will be annoyed if I tell you! Look, apart from being far apart, you are also still young, and your college is not finished yet. I know you want to go out with those who are already established, it's good to choose them so that you're not going to live in poverty. But remember, Rangga has an adopted child and your young soul is still wild. If you finally married him, are you sure you can take care of his child? What if it turns out that Rangga has a child with you? Are you able to treat Rangga's adopted child as your own?"

That long advice literally hit Bella like a truck. It truly felt like reality slapped her in the face and shattered her imagination. The girl lowered her head, contemplated for a moment then inched away from where she leaned. She hugged her bent legs while holding back the tears that started to stream.

"Bell, I already told you. I am your sister and I want to keep you from all bad things. Your future can still be expected, it can still be bright. Don't try to go down the same path as me, getting careless and screwing my life all over. So please, I beg you, Bel, go finish your college first and keep looking for a job until you are established. After everything's settled then start thinking if you want to get married."

"Lis, all you say to me is..." Bella sobbed, "It's not a lie, is it?"

"Why did I lie to you? I just want to reconcile with Oscar," Lisa replied softly.

Bella was still huddled under the floor, sobbing. So far, she misunderstood what Lisa meant. She didn't realize that Lisa had been keeping her from getting a dark future all this time.

Bella immediately stood up and hugged Lisa tightly and said, "Lis! I'm sorry for accusing you and badmouthing you lately! I know I'm really stupid. I'm so selfish that I don't want to listen to your advice! I admit that I was wrong. I'm sorry Lis… I'm really sorry…."

Lisa hugged Bella back while rubbing her little sister's back gently. Even though Lisa was hurt by the vile words Bella said to her, still, that girl was her younger sibling. They both had an unbreakable emotional bond.

"I'm sorry, Bel. Anyway, don't be annoyed if I give you advice in the future, okay?" Lisa said, showing her index finger in front of Bella's face.

In return, Bella nodded and wiped the tears in her eyes.
