BXBX NOVEL Chapter 402 - Cold Blooded
"Lisa, you seem very busy with your cell phone. What\'s wrong?" Oscar asked, staring at her through the rearview mirror.
Lisa frowned as she lifted her head, stared at Oscar in the rearview mirror with a piercing gaze and said, "Not your business. You know I\'m not like a certain somebody, a big boss to his own company so he can go to the office casually and skip work as he likes!"
The atmosphere in the car immediately became awkward!
Oscra\'s handsome face turned grim, then he returned to focus on the road while holding the steering wheel. He felt really bad when he heard Lisa\'s cynical words just now.
Meanwhile, William, who was sitting in the passenger seat next to him, only watched his parents fight. Even though he doesn\'t know what his parents are talking about, he knows they are fighting.
"Mama! Papa is working diligently, you know!" William exclaimed spontaneously, breaking the silence.
Lisa\'s heart then softened when she heard the adorable voice of the 4 year old boy. No matter how angry she was at Oscar, still the boy was innocent. She couldn\'t take her anger out on him of course. For a moment, Lisa is still not sure whether the boy is really her child.
Her hands suddenly shook until they broke out in cold sweat. She could not imagine if William was truly her own long lost child. She might turn the world upside down if that were the truth!
An hour later, when Oscar\'s car arrived at his residence, William came down with a cheerful face. Then he took Lisa\'s hand as if he had known her for a long time. When the three of them entered, Lisa saw Mrs Rusminah open the front door.
How surprised the maid was when she saw Lisa, Oscar and William have returned!
"Miss Lisa! Mr. Oscar! Finally, the three of you came back!" She exclaimed with a flowery heart.
Lisa looked displeased when she met the assistant\'s eyes. Her face looks flat without expression as if she doesn\'t know her. "Do I know you?"
Mrs. Rusminah felt embarrassed. Instantly she felt guilty and sorry for betraying Lisa and Oscar. Her chest felt tightened, and it was very difficult to breathe. She even looked down, showing her regret.
"Mrs. Rusminah, please take William to his room to take a nap then don\'t forget to come down to the living room again, I want to talk to you," Oscar ordered her. But when the housekeeper took William upstairs, the boy shook his head and refused to take a nap because he was too excited after he had not seen his biological mother for so long.
At school, only William does not have a mother figure. He is jealous of his friends since their mothers always pick them up after school. After he learned and was able to speak, he urged Oscar to tell him where his mother had been.
Oscar has been covering up the truth from William by saying that his mother is working abroad. And when the time came, he promised to take the little boy to see Lisa, his biological mother.
He also wanted to reunite with his small family, but it seems that Lisa will never want to come back and forgive him. In the past, Oscar was too confident that Lisa would definitely come back. But in reality, Lisa no longer wants to be tied down to him. Oscar had no other choice but to use William as bait.
Oscar loves Lisa with all his heart, and more so when he realized that she is William\'s real mother. The boy needs a mother!
So he tried to lower his ego and hoped William would be able to open Lisa\'s heart and let him back in.
Mrs. Rusminah carried William up to his bedroom. After the housekeeper accompanied him to sleep, she returned to the living room and joined Oscar and Lisa. Her heart was a little
pounding. The last few years, Mrs. Rusminah\'s life was not calm. Her guilt towards Lisa grew stronger by days. It was only after Clara left that she was able to tell Oscar everything, including all the evil that Clara had done to the man and the Petersson family.
When the assistant joined them, hse sat idly by holding her hands with her head down, shedding tears that began to pool her eyes.
"Miss Lisa, forgive me for betraying you... I don\'t want to hide anything anymore..." She told everything to Lisa in a stammering voice as she endured the pain and tears that filled her eyes. About how Clara threatened her, how Clara told her to do what she wanted, and the reason why she was forced to do it.
The atmosphere in the living room returned to silence and awkwardness after the maid told her stories. From the look on her face, Mrs. Rusminah knew that Lisa was very angry with her.
Lisa got up from the sofa, feeling so furious. She pointed her index finger at Mrs. Rusminah who was kneeling on the floor, cursing, "You bastard! I\'ve never wronged you in my life right!?"
"I\'m sorry! I am very sorry!" Mrs. Rusminah said, crying with tears.
"Back when I lived in this house, I always treated you like my own family! I never treat you like my maid. But what did you do? I... I don\'t know who to trust anymore! You lied to me and schemed with that bitch Clara!" Her anger is only getting bigger as her hateful gaze pierced Mrs. Rusminah\'s heart.
"Lisa, I\'m sorry! I admit that it was all my fault! I made Mr. Oscar and you divorce..." Mrs. Rusminah apologized again while kneeling in front of Lisa.
"No way, you must be lying to me! There\'s no way that William is my real child! William is Clara\'s adopted child! Impossible!"
"Lisa, everything I told you is not a lie! For God\'s sake if I lied, I would be crushed to death by the roof now!" Mrs. Rusminah tries to convince Lisa that all her stories are facts.
Lisa couldn\'t believe what she heard. As if this was just nothing but Oscar\'s cunning tricks to get her back to the golden haired man.
Lisa paused for a moment to calm herself down, but her anger that still hadn\'t completely subsided made her grab her tote bag and walk out of the house.
Oscar got up and faced the woman. He said, "Lisa, you heard it yourself, right? William is our son! He wasn\'t adopted by Clara from the orphanage!"
"Take your hands off my shoulders! You jerk!" Lisa snapped, throwing the deadliest gaze that Oscar had never seen before. "Get off me, you bastard! You will never be able to trick me with cheap tricks like this! How can I be sure if you and Mrs. Rusminah didn\'t make it up, huh!?"
Her heart felt like it was stirring until it was mashed like mush. She feels that the whole story doesn\'t sound like a lie, but she can\'t accept the reality!
Her head buzzed, she was unable to understand what was happening to her. She still wasn\'t sure if Oscar was lying or not. Lisa couldn\'t ignore the possibility that the man deliberately used William to lie to her so that she would come back to him.
Lisa\'s reaction to the story made Oscar even more annoyed and furious. He gripped her hand firmly and gritted his teeth. "Lisa! How cruel are you to not recognize your own flesh and blood! Since when have you become cold like this?"
"I am so cold because you force me to! Don\'t pretend you don\'t know! You make me lose sympathy for you!" Lisa replied, pointing right in front of the golden haired man\'s nose.
Hearing her reaction, which sounded so cruel and heartless, tore Oscar\'s heart apart. That sharp sentence seemed like a sword that pierced through his chest.
And it hurts, it hurts so much.
