Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Chapter 404 - Promise Me



"Mama came to me, that's why I woke up because I love you, Mama!" The little boy slowly got up and sat back on his pillow. Slowly, the boy shifted his body then sat on Lisa's lap and hugged his biological mother.

Lisa gently hugged the boy's body in her arms. This is the first time she has embraced her own flesh and blood. Her cold and frozen heart instantly melted from the warmth that  Willliam radiated.

"Mama won't go away, right? Stay here please, with me..."

"Of course Mama will always be by your side, dear..." Lisa replied. Hearing William's soft and cute voice made her heart melt and touched.

William hugged her tightly. His big eyes looked at Lisa with love and said, "Will you live with Papa?"

A deep longing was clear in William's eyes. Lisa felt that she needed to make up for the time she was separated from him. It had been a long time since she cared for a child. This of course made her heart feel very guilty.

Lisa kissed William on the cheek while staring at the face of her eldest son with a gaze full of affection, her motherly instincts began to resurface. 

"Dear William… Whatever happens to Mama and Papa, my love for you will not fade. I'm  your mother, I will not possibly leave you."

"Mama, I'm glad I finally met you. I want my friends at school to know that I have a Mama! I don't want them to laugh at me because I don't have a mama!" William smiled happily and clapped his hands.

Lisa played with William for a long time. She still wants to spend time with her biological child who she never expected is still alive. While Oscar was waiting for her, who didn't come down from William's room, he went upstairs to check on them.

When he stood in the doorway and peeked, he saw that his son was playing happily with Lisa, so Oscar didn't bother them either.

Lisa glanced at her watch, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon. She was too happy to play with William, as if the time had stopped for a moment only for them. Lisa stood up and grabbed her tote bag, and before walking toward the door, she said, "Dear William, Mama, will go now, okay? I still have important business, so I can't accompany you for long. But take it easy, I will definitely come back again when I'm not busy, okay?"

"Don't go, I don't want Mama to go..." 

Lisa's goodbye made the boy turn sad and disappointed. Small kids are really naive. If they are happy, they are happy. If they are sad, then they will show that they're sad. There are no complex feelings like adults.

Lisa crouched down and grabbed one of William's tiny hands. "I promise to see you again when I'm not busy, okay? Or you can play at Mama's house."

"Why don't you just live with me and Papa here? So you don't have to go..." William asked in his adorable voice. Lisa's heart melted at once when she heard that!

Oscar then entered the room slowly. He approached William who looked sad and carried him. The former couple then went down the stairs.

"Papa, Mama is going to come back, right?" William asked naively, leaning his head against Oscar's chest.

"Dear William, your mom has to go to work. Don't worry, she doesn't hate you, son," Oscar said, trying to calm his son.

William's eyes lit up, then he got off Oscar's arms, approached Lisa and stretched his tiny hands towards her. "Mama, promise me you'll come back again!"

The little boy showed Lisa his tiny pinky finger. He wanted to make a promise to his mother. "If you promise me you'll come back, I will obey what Papa said!"

Seeing her son so adorable made Lisa laugh, her heart was touched. She intertwined her pinky with her son's finger and said, "Okay, I promise I'll be back to play with you, William!"

How happy the boy was when his mother agreed to their little promise. "Hooray! Papa, Mama has promised to come back again!"

Seeing his son happy made Oscar happy too. The man smiled happily and laughed seeing his son jumping for joy.

Although he could not afford to be a good husband, he is still a good father, Lisa thought. How happy and relieved she is to see the two of them getting along well. She believed that William would be fine in Oscar's hands. The man will take care of him as best he can.

Suddenly, Lisa remembered that she wanted to talk to Oscar about something, but the man could see her hesitation so he crouched down and looked at William. "Son, can you go back to your room? Papa wants to talk to Mama… "

William tilted his head, curious. "What are you talking about, Papa?"

"I need to talk to your mother, that's all. Come on up to your room, I will follow up later," Oscar softly replied, his voice was filled with affection.

William nodded and said, "Bye Mama!" Then the little boy went upstairs and played in his room to cheer himself up.

"Oscar," Lisa suddenly called. "I want to discuss something with you..." Her way of speaking immediately changed.

Oscar nodded. "Please, I'll listen."

"You know everything about me. I am William's real mother and I promise to raise him with you, don't worry, I will pay for his living expenses as best I can and…" Not finished with her sentence, Oscar immediately interrupted.

"You think I'll run out of money?" His eyebrows rose. What he had just heard sounded like a mockery.

"I will provide the best education for William, I will send him to the best school in Jakarta, and take care of him with everything I have. You don't have to worry about that, Lisa."

"Fine, I know. Um, what about William's visit schedule? Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday William will play at my house. Monday, Wednesday, Friday he will be here and I will visit him. Besides, William is my son, and I have a lot to make up to him. I haven't been with him for a long time…. "

"Lisa, you are his biological mother, you have the right to meet him. I agree with your idea," Oscar agreed with her request without hesitation. Lisa didn't even think that the man would agree so quickly.

"Thank you, it's getting late by the way. I have to come back soon." 

When Lisa walked to the exit, William peeked at his two parents from behind the door. Then he approached Lisa as fast as lightning and hugged Oscar's leg. "Papa, are you going to go?"

When Lisa heard William's voice, she stopped and then turned around, staring at the tiny figure that made her heart melt. She approached her son and squatted down, then touched his shoulder and said, "Dear William, you are my most obedient child. Mama still has business, so you have to go back home. So listen to what your Papa tells you, okay? I will definitely come back and pick you up to play at Mama's house, okay?"

William nodded steadfastly. "Okay! I'll wait for you, Mama!"
