BXBX NOVEL Chapter 546 - Bon Appetit!
Lisa glared at Oscar\'s hand which was on Indri\'s shoulder. Now, she is absolutely convinced that they have more of a relationship! Why would a man invite his female co-worker to have dinner together, let alone with his children?!
Now that it\'s almost half past seven, Lisa has even more reason to hurry home!
"Wow! You guys enjoy your dinner. I better go home first, I still have a lot of work to do at home!" Lisa replied while letting out a fake laugh.
Oscar was pretty much furious when he heard Lisa\'s words. The man turned his head and called out to Mrs. Rusminah, who happened to be cleaning the dining table.
"Mrs. Rusminah, please prepare three plates. Indri will join us for dinner here!"
Indri who was standing beside Oscar unconsciously lifted her chin when she heard Oscar\'s words. After a while, a wide smile graced her lips. It\'s true that Oscar already has a child with Lisa, but now the two of them are no longer in a relationship!
"Who said that William will come to eat with you!? No!" Lisa replied quickly. The woman walked over to William and carried him. "Let me eat dinner with my son tonight!"
Oscar raised his eyebrows, "Then just prepare two plates, Mrs. Rusminah!"
At that moment, Indri became convinced that she had a chance with Oscar.
Lisa rolled her eyes and quickly turned around. When she was wearing her high heels again, she turned and gave them a scathing glare. "Bon Appetit!"
Bang!
As soon as Lisa was outside Oscar\'s house, the woman put William down. In her heart, she couldn\'t stop grumbling.
"You idiot! I hope you choke to death!" Lisa grumbled in her heart.
Lisa didn\'t want to wait any longer, she\'s literally fuming with rage. She prefers to leave than to linger in this cursed house!
Sometimes, Lisa turned and saw William. The little boy\'s hand that was wrapped around her pinky finger made her heart feel guilty and also warm. She should not have been angry in front of her only child. At a very young age, William had to see his parents often had arguments and throw accusations or ridicule at each other.
Come to think of it, Lisa and Oscar weren\'t the perfect parents for William. They rarely spent time with the boy, resulting in him being often looked after by the housemaid. And every time they met, troubles seemed to never cease.
Unlike other parents who are always there for their children, Lisa and Oscar have failed miserably as William\'s parents.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Lisa stopped walking and opened her tote bag. She fumbled for a while and then took out a red rose. Even though she didn\'t know who actually sent her the red rose, Lisa didn\'t want to keep the flower any longer!
With passionate rage, Lisa threw the red rose onto the sidewalk and stepped on it using her high heels. She wished Oscar\'s heart would feel like it was being trampled on by her high heels!
"You bastard! Playing with a girl\'s heart. What a scumbag!" Lisa grumbled without stopping her stomp on the poor flower.
Lisa is not stupid. She knows what the red rose means, it symbolizes love and admiration. All day long, she had assumed that Oscar was the one who bought her breakfast, red roses, and also lunch. Because who else would give her a red rose other than that man?
Cicilia was right. Why would someone give her a red rose if it weren\'t a man who loves her? Is her mother willing to spend a lot of money to buy her food and red roses?
The feeling of her passionate rage made Lisa\'s eyes redden. Before she could lead William to continue their journey, tears began to roll down her cheeks. Even though she had been trying hard to keep her tears from falling in front of her child, her body said something else.
Droplets of tears rolled down Lisa\'s cheeks slowly but surely.
Seeing his mother crying and looking like a mess due to his father\'s treatment made William furious. He said he wanted to try to get that woman back into their lives, but why did his father make his mother even more distant?!
"Dad, do you know how to get Mama again? Why are you so stupid!" William grumbled inwardly.
A few moments later, Lisa walked back while pulling William\'s tiny hand. Due to being carried away with anger mixed with feelings of sadness, Lisa forgot that she and William had not eaten dinner!
Having such thoughts made Lisa quicken her pace. She wouldn\'t let the boy get ulcer disease and make her feel even more guilty. She walked so fast that she forgot William\'s footsteps couldn\'t match hers.
William often nearly fell because he tripped on his own feet or because his mother tightly gripped his hand and dragged him. At first, he was silent and understood all that because he knew his mother was sad. But when he almost fell for the umpteenth time, the boy made a sound.
"Mom, take it slow when you walk... I can\'t walk as fast as you…!" William whined loudly.
Hearing William\'s voice made Lisa realize. Her footsteps automatically stopped and in her heart, she blamed Oscar.
Lisa turned and crouched in front of William. The boy looked like someone who had just run around the sports field twice. His lips pursed and his breath hitched. If Lisa is not sad and feeling flustered, maybe she will laugh and capture the moment by recording a video.
But now that a feeling of sadness enveloped her heart, seeing William\'s face made her feel like she was being torn apart. Lisa hugged the little boy in front of her and whispered, "I\'m sorry. It\'s all my fault. I shouldn\'t have brought you into our problems…"
In the warm and tight embrace of his mother, William frowned. "Mama, don\'t be sad.. William is here to protect Mama from bad things. I will protect you from Papa and Aunt!"
