There are various kinds of puzzle pieces scattered across the velvet carpet. Usually, playing and spending time with William made Lisa's mood better. But now, she couldn't even solve a dinosaur puzzle that was so easy.
"Oh Maa!" William whined as he took the puzzle pieces from Lisa's hands, "This should be put here, not there!"
Lisa's mind was playing with her right now. She could imagine what was going on inside Oscar's room. The new couple must have been joking around and couldn't take their hands off of each other. Big smiles must have graced both of their faces and the sound of laughter would be the music that would set the mood.
"Do you know what I studied at school this afternoon?" William asked enthusiastically. The little boy was lying on the velvet carpet and trying to solve the puzzle in front of him.
One second, two seconds, three seconds later, William still had not received a reply from his mother. When he looked up, the boy immediately chuckled.
"Dreaming again, daydreaming again…"
William was now sitting on the velvet rug and looking towards his bedroom's door. The puzzle in front of him was no longer the toy he was interested in!
"Mom, do you think Papa is looking for a new Mama for me?"
Hearing this question, Lisa suddenly woke up from her daydream. The woman frowned and replied in a firm tone, "If your Papa dares to find a substitute to be your mother, I will immediately take custody of you! You have to live with Mama, okay?"
William is her biological son, her blood flows in the boy's veins just as much as Oscar's. If Indri or even another woman takes care of William, will they really know what to do?
Not mocking, it's just that William is hers! Only Lisa can take care of and look after the boy.
The relationship between a stepmother and a child isn't far from violence and murder, at least according to the internet. Every time she opens the internet, such news always appears on her top feed. How could Lisa let Indri take care of her only child then? What would she do if the woman hurt William?
Indeed, there're still stepmothers who treat their stepchildren well. Some even had touching stories. But Lisa is not sure that Indri can treat William like her own child!
Even though Lisa had no experience taking care of William, she knew what she had to do. Her motherly instincts moved faster than she thought.
Having the thoughts of what WIlliam will experience if Indri and Oscar are to get married makes Lisa's heart ache! The woman opened her arms wide and hugged the little boy's body.
William was a smart boy, too smart for his age. He immediately knew what his mother was feeling and hugged her back tightly.
"Mama, just calm down. I don't want anyone else as my mother! If Papa married another woman, I would definitely ask him to let William live with Mama!"
Lisa kissed William's chubby cheeks and said, "I love you so much, dear. If Papa is really looking for you stepmother, you must be able to take good care of yourself. If I work, you have to stay at home alone or maybe I can leave you here, the most important thing is that you have to take good care of yourself! Don't let your stepmother hurt you, okay?"
"You're smart! So if you feel something bad is about to happen to you, just run away and scream as loud as you can."
Again, Lisa's thoughts ran far away to Oscar and Indri, thinking they were currently making out in the room.
According to her, Oscar and Indri are a perfect match. Indri is a career woman who already has a high position in a company. Smart, rich, and beautiful— she is literally someone that Lisa really can't compete with.
Oscar is also a handsome man of European blood with a high position in the largest company in Indonesia. Not just a high position, but the president director of Petersson Communications itself. It's no secret that there are thousands of women waiting in line to be the man's life partner.
Lisa chuckled and thought that they were a perfect couple.
"Mom, don't you want to get back with Papa again? If so, then you better chase Papa now before it's too late! Later, when Papa is married to another woman, you won't be able to do anything about it…"
Lisa smiled faintly, "My legs aren't that long, honey. I can't chase after your Papa."
After a while, Lisa could not stand to linger at Oscar's house. Just as she came out holding William's hand, Oscar and Indri were already sitting relaxed in the living room. Just as Lisa had imagined, the two of them were laughing out loud.
"Oh, sorry for disturbing your time. You guys keep talking, I just want to go home anyway!"
Lisa slightly pushed William's back towards Oscar then hurried away. But before she could walk far enough, she heard Oscar's deep, cold voice.
"Do you have to leave William now?"
Her footsteps automatically stopped. She turned her head and gave the man a cold glare. "So you think I can linger in your house in this awkward atmosphere, huh? If you still have a brain, use it properly!"
At the same time, Indri felt that she could not stay long at Oscar's house. The woman got up from the sofa, adjusted her skirt and stood next to Oscar.
"It seems that I have to go, not you," Indri said slowly. The woman turned and looked at Oscar, "I'm going home first. I hope your problems can be resolved quickly."
"Oh, no, you– I mean, you can just stay here. It was me who should have gone." Lisa replied quickly.
Hearing that made Oscar let out a long sigh. He loosened the tie around his neck and thought, how could that woman be so stupid? Was his treatment and attitude not enough to show that he still liked her?
When will they be able to reconcile like before?
Why does Lisa only know to run away instead of following her heart's desire? Instead of running away, Lisa should have fought as hard as she could if she saw Oscar surrounded by beautiful women!
Oscar touched Indri's shoulder and said, "No, you stay here.. We'd better have dinner with William."
