Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Hearing Chloe's blunt question of course made Lisa dumbfounded. She glanced at Oscar, wanting to ask the man for help. But Oscar pretended not to hear Chloe's question and continued eating.

Chloe's question sounded normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Lisa could just say she ran into Oscar at work, or accidentally bumped into him in a supermarket's aisle.

But no! The two of them actually met on the dance floor of a nightclub and ended up making love in that cramped bathroom that reeked of alcohol!

How could Lisa answer Chloe then? If she were being honest, her good name would be tarnished and worst of all, William would hear the answer and ask what a nightclub was. The boy was too talkative and often asked questions that Lisa herself didn't know how to answer.

Seeing her strange attitude while not hearing a reply from the woman made Chloe even more suspicious. She leaned forward and looked at Lisa and Oscar alternately. 

Chloe finally chose to change her question.

"Ok, then, between you two, who confessed their feelings first?"

Honestly, hearing Chloe's question made Lisa remember her high school days. Such questions will be asked by friends who were too curious about whoever started dating in their class.

Troubles and problems kept coming every time Lisa was silent and didn't even answer Chloe's question. This sister's face was devious and the smile on her lips seemed to know what was really going on.

"Who confessed first?" Lisa asked doubtfully. She looked at Oscar and this time, the man had seen her first. Before Lisa could answer Chloe's question, Oscar interrupted. "In that case, it looks like we both confessed at the same time."

"Ah... As I recall, Lisa was the first to like and confess to me." Oscar continued with feeling full of confidence.

"Hey! Since when did I like you first!" Lisa replied in disbelief. As the woman recalled, Oscar was the first to have feelings for her, not the other way around. 

"Don't be silly! How come I like you first! It was you who liked me first, that's why you chased me."

Seeing the fight in front of her made Chloe remember that one cartoon about mouse and cat. 

"This guy has been popular among girls since…. When is it again?" Chloe asked but the woman answered herself, "Ah, is it 8th grade? You know, his locker would be filled with love letters from some popular girls, every single day! Even the head of the drama club is in love with Oscar!"

Suddenly, Chloe chuckled, "I still remember how she was willing to send a chocolate and some cute love letters to my brother. Luckily, you came at the right time without having to fight them and be Oscar's life partner."

"Oscar was a smart student, loved by his teachers and friends. Whenever I ran into him in the school's corridor, I never saw him walking alone. His friends would always flock around, so he's really a popular guy!"

Of all that, Lisa only remembered one sentence. The words stuck to her mind. 

"Every day, his locker would be filled with love letters from some popular girls. Even the head of the drama club is in love with Oscar!"

Suddenly, it made her turn her head and look at Oscar with her eyebrows raised up. Even though she knew that it had happened decades ago, she still had reason to be jealous!

Why wasn't she born in Sweden so she could see Oscar's youth? Why did so many girls send him love letters?

Again, Chloe did not hear anything from Lisa. Over time, she thought the woman was possessed by a demon that rendered her unable to answer her words. Chloe sighed then helped William cut the beef on his plate.

Seeing the adorable boy made Chloe want to get a playmate for him. After she cut the beef into small pieces, Chloe looked back at Lisa and asked.

"Hey, when will you want to have another child? It's a pity that William doesn't have a friend to play with…"

As time went on, Lisa became more and more regretful about why she was present at the dinner. Her heartbeat was beating irregularly since earlier, even worse now that she had to listen to Chloe's question that tickled her nerves.

"I…" Lisa bit her lower lip and glanced at Oscar. "I don't know yet. We have never planned about having another child. We are both busy with our work and William is still less than 5 years old. He still needs extra attention."

At first, William did not really listen to their conversation. He was too busy chewing the delicious food that his eardrums were covered. But that last question made him turn his head quickly.

"What? Are you going to give birth again?! Why so fast?!" William protested, "Is it a girl or a boy?"

It was obvious that Oscar really liked the topic of their conversation this time. Especially after hearing William's question, which indirectly said that the boy wanted to have a sister. With a big smile he looked at Lisa for a moment then back at William.

"Why is it? Do you want to have a sibling? If you had to choose, would you like a younger sister or a brother?"

Hearing his father's question made William pause for a moment. Not long after, he replied, "Little sister! So that I can always take care of her until she grows up! If my sibling is a boy, we can only be friends to play with."

Suddenly, the corners of Oscar's lips lifted even more to hear William's answer. Now the  man looked at Lisa and said, "You heard yourself that William wants to have a little sister, right?"

Hearing that question from Oscar was able to make Lisa's cheeks heat up. "Yes, I heard it. But it all depends on you."

Chloe couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard Lisa's reply. Her laughter grew louder when she saw Lisa blushing so hard that her cheeks were redder than the crab shells being boiled in the middle of the dining table.

"Just make it quick. Don't make William wait any longer!"
