Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Since her meeting with William, Lisa couldn't sleep well. Her mind was always filled with the image of the little boy's adorable and handsome face. Every time she went to the office, the baby's face always appeared in her mind. 

Lisa still couldn't accept the fact that William was not her son. He was the child of her ex-husband with Clara. Every time she remembered William, she slapped her face then shook her head to brush away the thoughts.

'Lis, William is a kid! Can you stop thinking of him for a second!?'

The woman kept urging herself not to think about the shadow of William's adorable face. The more she tried to forget, the clearer the baby's face with curly hair like his father became.

Lisa couldn't stand it anymore, there was an inner urge that forced her to meet William. 

After office hours ended, Lisa immediately ordered an online taxi to Oscar's house. An unwise choice, but her hunch said she had to see William again!

Lisa realized that seeing William at Oscar's house was the stupidest choice she had ever made. But she firmly believed that William was her own flesh and blood. 

When she was carrying William at the baby shop, William looked unafraid as she stared at Lisa's face. In fact, the baby seemed comfortable and familiar with her. Likewise, Lisa felt as if she shared a mother and child bond with the boy.

During the trip, Lisa was talking in her mind, hoping that she wouldn't meet Oscar or Clara there because she only wanted to see William.

'You have to hide from Clara and Oscar. You have to disguise yourself, Lis! Do you bring sunglasses? Very nice! Don't forget to wear a jacket later so you don't get caught if Clara is around!'

The woman took a deep breath and then exhaled. Her face looked increasingly worried, her heart was beating fast but she was also feeling happy because she was going to meet William!

Thirty minutes away, Lisa asked the taxi driver to pull over some distance from Oscar's house. She did not want her whereabouts to be known by Clara or Oscar. So, she got off in the park near the house.

Lisa immediately put on a jacket and put on her sunglasses. She intended to spy on William from the park.

As far as she knew, Mrs. Rusminah always brought the baby around the park in the late afternoon.

Lisa walked very slowly and carefully. She hid behind a tree and waited.

She waited almost half an hour but she still didn't see Mrs. Rusminah and William coming. Seeing that the sun had begun to set, it seemed that there was no hope of meeting William in the garden today.

Lisa was almost discouraged, soon she had to return to the boarding house with a disappointed heart. Not seeing William greatly saddened her.

When the woman turned around to leave the park, she suddenly heard a woman's voice that sounded familiar.

Lisa returned to hiding behind a tree and then noticed two women walking across the park.

"Oscar sent someone to investigate William's origin. Yesterday I asked you to ask the head of the orphanage to meet him, is it going well?" Clara asked Mrs. Rusminah in a serious and tense tone.

Mrs. Rusminah nodded. "Everything is going well, Miss. The head of the orphanage has given Oscar the documents you asked for."

"Very good," Clara replied with a triumphant face and a satisfied smile.

Their voices sounded faintly in Lisa's ears, she couldn't understand the details of the conversation but she saw Mrs. Rusminah carried William next to Clara who was carrying a grocery bag. It looked like the two of them just came back from the shopping center.

"I don't want Oscar to know William's origin…." Clara's voice wasn't very clear. Lisa frowned and hardened her hearing. Although she didn't know what Clara was talking about, her hunch said that the demonic woman was plotting to cover something up from Oscar.

'You evil bitch!'

Lisa stared at the two women carefully until they disappeared from Lisa's eyes.

'Shit!'

If only Mrs. Rusminah had come alone, Lisa would have approached the middle-aged woman and asked permission to carry William. 

With a desperate heart, Lisa came out of the bush and followed the two women to the house. She kept her distance so that Clara didn't know that she was being followed.

From a distance, Lisa looked at Clara and Mrs. Rusminah opening the gate and then going inside. She really wanted to get close and see through the gate but the security guard in front of the house would refuse her!

Lisa didn't want to give up yet. She looked for a hiding place near the house. She ran and squatted at one of the empty security posts near Oscar's house and glanced at Clara and Mrs. Rusminah from afar.

'It's useless, Lis! Following them like this won't help you meet William!'

From a distance, Lisa saw Mrs. Rusminah turn around, preparing to close the front door. Clara had entered the house first.

Unintentionally, Lisa and Mrs. Rusminah exchanged glances from a distance. Lisa stared at her for a long time then waved her hand at the old maid.

The middle-aged woman noticed Lisa's whereabouts and was silent for a moment. Lisa was worried that the maid would report to Clara but it turned out that the middle-aged woman bowed her head to Lisa with a smile.

'Ah, Mrs. Rusminah knows what I mean by coming here!'

After seeing Mrs. Rusminah's positive response, Lisa no longer felt anxious and upset and finally became calm and relieved. 

Even though she could not meet William closely, at least she could let go of the unbearable longing by approaching Oscar's house.

It's strange but her feeling was real. Though William was Clara's child, Lisa believed that the curly-haired child was her own flesh and blood!

***

It was getting darker, Lisa continued her steps as she headed back to the boarding house. The street lights around the elite housing complex slowly began to light up. The road that had been pitch black was gradually brightening up.

Along the way she walked towards the nearest busway stop, Lisa was still thinking about the conversation between Clara and Mrs. Rusminah that she had vaguely heard. It looked like Clara was planning something evil against Oscar.

Even though Lisa was divorced and her feelings for Oscar were mixed, if it was true that the demonic woman was planning something bad for Oscar, Lisa still had sympathy for her ex-husband.

Lisa walked erratically, her mind began to go blank. She daydreamed of staring at the line of lights at night. 

Without realizing it, she almost got off the sidewalk and a car was speeding past her. The car almost ran her off.

The owner of the car popped his head out of the window and shouted out loud, "Hey! Look where you're going, stupid bitch!"

The yelling from the driver broke Lisa's lonely daydream. The woman immediately gathered her consciousness then went back walking on the sidewalk.

Lisa then took a deep breath.. It was absolutely a close call. She was lucky that nothing bad happened to her!
