Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 403 - The Bond Between Mother And Child

"Lisa, I admit it is all my fault. I have wronged you. But I have no other choice. Clara threatened me with my child. What could I do to protect him except surrender? I couldn't possibly let my child be tortured by that evil woman. If you were in my position, would you allow Clara to harm your child?"

Mrs. Rusminah looks so sad and sorry. She could not contain her sadness.

Lisa was totally unfazed by what the maid said. Her face was flat and her body was stiff, seemingly petrified. "I don't want to know, whatever your reason is, the fact remains that you have chosen to betray me. You can't just go back to undo what you did, right?"

Her words were like a bucket of cold water pouring on them, making the two shiver. Her heart is so cold that she has no sympathy at all.

The golden haired man suddenly blinked then laughed condescendingly to himself. He has lowered his ego for her sake but what does this ex-wife want?

Everything was just a matter of miscommunication. Oscar thought that if all these misunderstandings were clear and resolved, Lisa would come back to him again. But the truth said otherwise, Oscar felt really naive!

"Lisa, I don't care what you say about me, but Mrs. Rusminah has told the truth and none of the stories she just told are lies! If you don't believe me, we can do a DNA test. I didn't lie to you Lisa, William is your son too!"

"No, I don't want to! I don't want to be trapped again with all your tricks!" Lisa refused without a doubt.

If William wasn't her real child, Lisa wouldn't want to follow Oscar's invitation. William was too young to be involved in this never-ending problem.

Seeing Lisa's face that was clearly hesitating, Oscar's heart suddenly calmed down and softened. He felt optimistic again that she would come back to him, even though what she said to him was very painful to hear.

"If William is indeed my biological child, so what? Do you want to threaten me with my son so I can get back to you again?" Lisa asked back, her face looked displeased. "Oscar, what you did to me was evil! We will never be able to go back. This is the last chance you will meet me because I've been kind to you, but I have to emphasize it again, I don't love you anymore!"

Oscar felt as if his heart had been stabbed by hundreds of daggers that it was difficult to breathe. The man stepped back, then took a deep breath. "Lisa, you really insist on getting married to Rangga, is that right?" 

"Yes! So what!?" Lisa's response was fast and steady.

In her heart, she actually still doubts her own feelings, but she is a strong and stubborn woman. Even though she still loved Oscar, she didn't want to show it in front of him. For her, showing her love for the golden haired man was the same as lowering her pride.

On the other hand, Oscar felt as if the flower he had been caring for for a long time and had grown was beautifully picked by someone else.

"Do you really love him?" Oscar's straight question made Lisa dumbfounded, her tongue suddenly went out. In her heart, she even said, 'No Oscar, I don't love Rangga, I only love you, but I will try my best so that I can love him more and forget you!'

Lisa averted her face from Oscar who was staring at her closely, as if she would never look at him with love. "It's my business, you don't have to meddle in it!"

"Meddle in it? Hmm... it's clear you don't love Rangga. The only man you love is me, and I am the man who is always in your heart. If you don't love Rangga then why are you with him?" Oscar sounded aggressive.

In the end, he will find out what Lisa is hiding. He knew she was not very good at lying. Even the glint in her eyes couldn't fool him.  She definitely still loved him.

"So what? Even if half of the men in this world went extinct, I would be better off widowed than with you!" 

Her reply just stabbed Oscar again for the umpteenth time.

"Fine, if that's your choice, I won't force you anymore. I wish you happiness forever!" Oscar replied in an unhappy tone. He knew he wouldn't be able to get Lisa back anytime soon. He realized he had hurt her many times, so that it'd take her a long time to heal the wound in her heart.

Oscar even hopes that if Rangga can take better care of Lisa, he will not stop them from marrying each other.

Hearing the sentence just now, Lisa took a deep breath and blinked, "Thank you!"

For a moment, the atmosphere that enveloped the living room became a little tense. Mrs. Rusminah then went upstairs to check on William in his bedroom, leaving the living room that suddenly turned very quiet and made her uncomfortable.

A few seconds before she went upstairs, Lisa asked, "Can I go upstairs to see William?"

"You're his mother, right? Of course you can! You don't even need to ask permission from me!" Oscar's two blue eyes began to lose their radiance, looking heavy and disappointed.

Without saying much, Lisa immediately went up to the second floor where William's bedroom was. After she stepped into the boy's room, the maid was seen cradling the boy while he was still asleep.

Lisa walked slowly, trying not to disturb the little boy's sleep.

Seeing she was standing nearby, Mrs. Rusminah turned around and said, "Miss, your child is sleeping soundly... Isn't that adorable?"

Lisa took a step closer to William's bed, then her eyes landed on the pile of children's story books. Her heart was torn as she stared at them. Her memory brought her back to the time when she used to often read stories to Julian, Rangga's son who now lives with Maria in America.

For a moment, Lisa felt guilty. She did not know that her biological child was still alive today. She has failed to be a good mother, she is not responsible for her own son.

Lisa realized that it was very difficult for her to have another child since she had a miscarriage with her second child. But she was grateful because in the end, her first son did not actually die.

Life is full of surprises, she thought. Even though she realized she could not get back with Oscar again, at least William was still alive and growing healthy.

Lisa stretched out her hand slowly and stroked the boy's adorable soft cheek. He fell asleep with such a cute face that it melted her heart. His lips were flushed red, his hair curly like his father's except that it was brownish black like hers. His fat fingers twitched several times as if he was having a really good dream.

Without realizing it, the boy opened his eyes slowly then looked at Lisa who was sitting beside his bed. He smiled sweetly then said, "Mama, wanna sleep with William?"

How surprised Lisa was to see her son wake up so suddenly! 

"Son! Why are you awake!?"
