Even though Vira had said that, the two still ignored it. She looked at her and William's plates with a blank stare. The meat and vegetables should have filled her plate, not the people who said they didn't love each other anymore!
Suddenly, when Vira couldn't stop grumbling, she heard William's voice sitting across from her.
"Ugh, I knew this would definitely happen. I forced Papa to eat here because I knew he really wanted to, and I also knew Mama wanted to eat together too."
Vira suddenly looked up and threw an amused look at William. "Hey, where did you learn to talk like that?"
Whether it's just her feelings or what, it's clear that she feels William is too smart for kindergarten children in general. From the way he spoke and took someone's heart, the boy already looked like a teenager. In their second meeting, the incident in the living room made Vira think that William was actually a grown man trapped in a boy's body.
"Auntie, have you ever heard of the internet or cyberspace? Obviously I learned from there! Wow, Aunt Vira doesn't seem to know what the internet is, huh…"
Now William's face was filled with mocking expressions. If Vira didn't remember that the boy was Lisa's child, she would definitely teach him a lesson.
"No wonder Auntie can't play that shooting game…"
"You… Quiet!" Vira growled while glaring at the boy's tiny face.
It was already half past nine in the evening when they were relaxing in the living room. At first, they had finished eating around 7pm, but since Oscar didn't want to be seen as freeloading for dinner, he decided to stay for a while. Besides, he also wanted to spend time alone with Lisa.
William and Vira sat on the sofa and couldn't stop chatting while playing the online game, while Oscar and Lisa sat on the floor. Compared to William and Vira, the ex-husband and wife rarely chatted. It wasn't that Oscar didn't want to, it was just that Lisa had fallen asleep from leaning on the sofa.
Sometimes, Lisa woke up to the sound of William's loud laughter, or when Oscar spoke to her. But the feeling of heavy sleepiness always made her want to close her eyes.
Over time, Oscar felt sorry for Lisa. The man stood up and straightened the jeans he was wearing. "Lisa, it's getting late, I'd better take William home first. He still has to go to school tomorrow."
"Oh, right," Lisa also got up from the floor and saw William was almost asleep on Vira's shoulder. "I'll take you downstairs."
After saying goodbye to Vira, especially after she stopped pinching William's chubby cheeks, the three of them entered the elevator. Since he was too full and sleepy, the boy couldn't even walk on his own. In the end, Lisa couldn't help but squat down and carry her child.
"Fast asleep, my baby…" Lisa hummed while moving her boy's body left and right, making William sleep even more.
William could only clear his throat and tighten his arms around Lisa's neck.
Not long after, the little family arrived at the entrance of the apartment building. William then woke up from his short sleep. His big eyes swept around him.
"Get up, honey."
Suddenly, William felt his ass being patted by his mother. The boy wanted to cry because he was too comfortable in his mother's arms. But before he could actually cry, he felt his body being pushed away from the warmth.
Lisa slowly lowered William's body then let the boy still hug her neck. While squatting in front of William, the woman stroked William's tiny back.
"William, you have to obey Papa, okay? Don't be naughty, let Papa rest first so his hand heals quickly, okay? Later on Saturday, Mama will pick you up. We will play and have lunch together…"
Hearing that immediately made William wake up from his sleepiness. It had been a long time since he had spent time with his mother. The last time he ate and played with Lisa was when his father was in the hospital. Apart from that, he'd never gone out with Lisa again. So now that he heard that he was going to spend time with his mother, William's heart fluttered.
"Really? Okay, okay, I promise I will obey Papa! Mama, don't worry! William is a smart boy!" William replied enthusiastically.
Lisa smiled faintly then kissed his forehead, "Hmm, what a smart child."
"Sir, the car is ready!"
Suddenly, a deep and polite voice came from behind William. Lisa and Oscar suddenly looked up and saw that the valley officer had brought Oscar's car to the front of the apartment building.
"William, let's get in the car first." Oscar ordered after he received his car keys back from the valley clerk.
Of course William thought that he would get in the car with his father. So he just stood there and didn't let go of his hand on Lisa's little finger. He only realized that his father was asking for some alone time with his mother when he saw Oscar raise his eyebrows.
"Oh, right! Ma, I will get in the car first, okay? Don't forget to pick me up on Saturday!"
Without waiting for an answer from his mother, William rushed to leave his parents. His little feet descended a few steps decorated with small lights, and finally, with the help of the valley clerk, he managed to sit in the front seat.
William never thought of himself as a mosquito repellent when he was with his parents. But he always felt the awkward aura spreading from inside Oscar and Lisa when he was with them. Like they didn't dare to talk about anything other than his growth in front of him.
In the quiet car, William sends his spirit to his father who is still fighting to get his ex-wife back.
"Pa! Keep up your spirit!"
Oscar finally could breathe a sigh of relief when William was gone. Sometimes, the man is still selfish and feels jealous because Lisa's attention is always on their child. Sometimes, he missed the times when all of her attention was only on him.
So now, when they were finally alone without William present, Oscar was relieved.
