Hearing that made Lisa roll her eyes. She tried very hard not to show her cheeks which were definitely red by looking down and kissing William's cheek. But it seemed that her efforts were in vain once she heard Oscar's laugh.
After Lisa made sure that the temperature on her cheeks had dropped, she looked up again. The woman looked at Oscar's long-sleeved shirt, then said, "Well, it's good if you're better now. Anyway, for the next few months, you should avoid doing strenuous exercise. You don't have to lift anything heavy either so that the scar from the stitches will get better quickly."
Unlike Lisa who was trying to hide her embarrassment earlier, Oscar actually showed a big smile. He felt happy and relieved at the same time because as it turned out, Lisa still cared about him.
"Mama!" William suddenly interrupted, not letting Oscar reply. "William is so hungry! From this afternoon until now, William hasn't eaten anything."
"Ah, if that's the case, let's go then. Let me cook you a good dinner, just like I've promised before!" Lisa replied while tightening her grip on William's tiny hand.
Without thinking any further, William rushed to grab his biological mother's hand. Lisa couldn't help but follow the boy to the entrance of the apartment building. The feeling of hunger made the boy forget his father who had been standing in the same position.
"William…" Oscar called out in disbelief. "Papa is still here…"
Hearing his name being called made William's footsteps automatically stop. The boy turned his head and laughed out loud. "Oh, I forgot!" Then he looked up and saw his mother, "Mom, Papa hasn't eaten tonight either. Let's take him up too, so he can eat with us!"
"Who knows if Papa could take some inspiration from your cooking so that his food will taste better later." William continued with sparkling eyes.
"Hey, don't think I didn't hear what you said!" Oscar shouted from a distance.
When William laughed crisply, Lisa frowned. How could she let the man eat at Vira's apartment? Her roommate was a bloody Oscar fan, and it made Lisa feel bad. Moreover, she still recalled the incident a few days ago at Oscar's house.
Seeing the expression on his mother's face that looked doubtful made William whine. He moved the woman's hand while pursing his lips. "Come on. It's a pity that Papa hasn't had dinner today… What will happen if Papa gets sick?"
Oscar actually wanted to eat at Lisa's place now. He doesn't yet know where his ex-wife lives and he misses spending time with his little family. The last time they got together and chatted was only when he was in the hospital.
But if Lisa is not comfortable with his presence, Oscar is okay to take his leave. He could go home now, eat at a restaurant, and wait until he could get William back.
"Dear William, Papa is a man, while Mama and Aunt Vira are women. I don't think it's appropriate for him to enter an apartment since this place is occupied by women. Let's just eat out together next time. But today, let Papa eat out, okay?"
The woman still felt embarrassed though it had been days since their last intercourse. Lisa didn't want to fall into the same pitfall again. She realized that she was weak against the man. Once Oscar's eyes fell on her body, she couldn't contain her excitement.
Even though Lisa had convinced herself that she didn't have any feelings for Oscar, she knew deep down she still had room for him. But then again, her ego was too big to tell Oscar her true feelings.
But whenever she was with Oscar, her thoughts couldn't stop drifting into Clara. She still holds a grudge because the demonic woman was willing to kidnap William from her, his birth mother.
Hearing the rejection that came out of Lisa's lips hurt Oscar a little. He did say that he was okay if Lisa didn't want to take him out to dinner. But apparently, no matter how much he braced himself, his heart still ached.
William could feel the sad feeling that Oscar felt. The boy pursed his lower lip and looked at Lisa with a sad look.
"But why? William is also a man but I can eat in Aunt Vira's apartment. What's the difference between Papa and William?"
Now William's voice was getting louder and his eyes were already teary. The boy knows the right way to win the heart of his mother. And now, he would do anything to get her to agree with him.
"I always listened to my friends when they talked about yesterday's stuff, like they ate with their Papa Mama in a restaurant or at home. But each time, I can't tell them anything because I never eat with Papa and Mama…"
Hearing that, Lisa's heart suddenly touched. From the past until now, she had always felt guilty for the boy. They rarely get together to just eat together or talk, like mother and child. And now hearing William's words in a sad tone made Lisa feel even more guilty.
Lisa sighed after a few seconds of silence. The woman squatted in front of William and then touched the boy's cheeks, "I will ask Aunt Vira first, and if she agrees, Papa can eat with us. That's not Mama's apartment, after all, but Aunt Vira's apartment, so Mama has to get her permission first."
"Okay Mom! William is waiting for Mama there with Papa." William replied enthusiastically.
If William's face looked gloomy like he had not been fed for a whole day earlier, now the boy's face looked radiant. His chubby cheeks like dumplings grew even more after hearing his mother's words.
Lisa cleared her throat and let the boy run away from her. From a distance, she could see her ex-husband squatting down and holding their child. I don't know what they were talking about but what was clear was that Lisa could see the big smiles on their faces.
Lisa shook her head and then turned around, getting ready to contact Vira.
Not far from where she was standing, two figures of male were seen unable to stop throwing wide smiles at each other.
"Papa's son is really good at acting!" Oscar praised, unable to stop kissing his son's chubby cheeks.
William laughed crisply, "Pa, I have helped Papa so that you can have dinner with Mama. Anyway, you can't waste this golden opportunity tonight, Papa!"
