Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 650 - Gloomy Atmosphere

"Morning." Oscar replied while kissing William's head.

William's smart eyes saw his mother sitting across from him. Usually, the woman and his father ignored him because they were too busy in their world. But now, his parents actually seem to avoid each other.

However, upon closer look, his mother was the one who seemed to ignore his father.

'They must be fighting again…' William grumbled to himself.

Before Oscar could take his seat on the chair, William had finished his short breakfast. He wiped the crumbs from the corners of his lips using the back of his hand.

"William, you're so gross." Lisa grumbled as she took the boy's hand and then cleaned it with a tissue.

After Lisa finished cleaning his hands, William rushed down from the dining table chair. He took his small school bag that had a picture of a dinosaur in front of it, then said, "Pa, Ma, I'm going to school first. You don't have to drop me, let Papa's driver take me to school!"

Instead of dwelling in the cold atmosphere in the dining room, he decided to leave immediately. 

Without waiting for a reply from them, William had already left the dining room. Just as the boy walked through the living room, he saw the tall and slender man waiting for him.

"William, are you ready?" The man asked.

The tall and slender man was Oscar's personal chauffeur which Dani usually asked to come when he was busy and couldn't take them anywhere they wanted. And now, seeing the man in the living room made William think that Dani had other things to do.

"Of course." William replied quickly, "Let's hurry and get out of here!"

In the quiet dining room filled with the smell of chicken porridge, Lisa and Oscar sat in silence. Oscar grimaced in pain all night and couldn't sleep well, so the man's appearance now looked pathetic. His eye bags looked thick, his lips were pale, and his eyes looked sluggish.

Oscar didn't have an appetite because every time he just raised his hand, his whole body ached. From the moment he opened his eyes until now, he had been contemplating whether he should call Bryan and ask for painkillers again.

After successfully stuffing two mouthfuls of porridge into his mouth, Oscar broke the silence. "Lisa, it looks like I can't have dinner with you guys this afternoon. Maybe I will go home in the middle of the night, or not at all. I still have a lot of work in the office."

Hearing Oscar's words made Lisa's anger flare up. Yesterday, the man couldn't go home early because there was a problem, and now he says that he still has a lot of work to do in the office. In her heart Lisa thought, why are all men not good at lying?

Just say that you want to meet your new girl!

Lisa closed her spoon on top of the bowl and replied, "You really are a hard-working guy, you need to attend important meetings every day and sign a bunch of important documents. It's better for you to stay in the office than at home."

Immediately, the air in the dining room was tense. Lisa's words just made Oscar's eyebrows rise. If only she knew how he felt right now.

Now, he really didn't know what to say. Oscar knew the reason the woman said such harsh words was because she wasn't in a good mood. Of course Lisa's mood was bad because she didn't sleep in the same bed with him last night.

Usually, Oscar would reply to Lisa's harsh words, dodge, and defend himself. But now that his condition wasn't too good, even the slightest movement of his whole body was painful, Oscar decided not to reply to Lisa's words. 

Instead of getting Lisa to worry about his real condition, Oscar decided to avoid Lisa for the meantime.

Oscar looked down and ate his chicken porridge which was not too warm. 

Lisa looked up and saw he didn't seem to care about her words. Feelings of emotion filled her body and made her impatient to leave the dining room. If this wasn't Oscar's house, Lisa would have kicked him out of her sight.

Without wasting any more time, Lisa got up from the dining table chair and left Oscar alone in the dining room. She grabbed her bag in the living room and hailed an online taxi to take her to the office.''

"Gosh," Oscar whispered in disbelief, "Gimme a break...."

"Miss Lisa, this is the deal we got with our new partner last week," Cicilia put a few sheets of paper on Lisa's desk and pointed at the bottom of the paper. "Please sign over here."

Like a robot, Lisa picked up the pen that was located nearby and signed the last piece of paper. But before that, she read the paper word for word carefully.

Earlier, when Cicilia entered her study, the woman's nose was filled with the smell of red roses. At first, she thought that Lisa used a red rose-smelling air freshener to freshen up her room. But now, as she stood in front of Lisa's desk, she could see the bouquet of red roses lying by the window.

"Aaah, you got the red rose from your boyfriend, right? The flowers are so beautiful…" Cicilia whined.

Lisa closed the document and handed it to her, "If you want, take it. "

For the past two days, Lisa has felt something strange about Oscar's attitude. Every day the man suddenly sent her lunch and a bouquet of red roses. Lisa didn't think the man's attitude was romantic, but rather suspicious!

Why did he suddenly send her flowers and lunch for two days in a row? Does the man feel guilty because now he is on his honeymoon with his new woman?

But the most important question is, who is that mysterious woman!?

Two days ago, Lisa was actually planning to ask Oscar who his mistress was. But somehow, at that time, all her questions seemed to be swallowed up again when her body was tightly embraced by Oscar.

She stupidly walked back into the room and shunned the man for two whole days!

Cicilia looked at Lisa as she was sitting casually on the leather chair in disbelief. When would she have a boyfriend that would send her red roses like Lisa's did? 

Is there something wrong with her fate?

"Sorry, did I hear it wrong? It's a gift from your boyfriend though…"

"Just take it.." Lisa repeated firmly.
