Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

"Lisa, listen to me," Kumala suddenly turned her head and saw Lisa with reddened eyes, "You know that I really support you with Oscar, right? I'm glad that you were treated well by him. But you know Greta's attitude towards us and especially you. I'm afraid that if you get married to Oscar again, you won't be treated well by Greta."

Before Lisa could answer, Kumala continued, "I know Oscar will protect you. But as a mother, I don't want you to be mistreated by Greta."

Lisa met Kumala's eyes and tried to understand her worried feelings. If she were in the same position, Lisa would definitely do the same. She would forbid William to marry a woman whom the family would not accept. 

Because for a mother, her first priority was that no one should hurt their child.

"Mom, I know you're worried about me and saying it's all for my good. But my relationship with Oscar is a matter between me and him. Until then, I believe that Oscar is my life partner. I don't even care if Greta or Peter treat me badly, I really don't care. I believe that Oscar and I can get through this. I know that he will protect me and that I am strong enough to protect myself."

"Why did all this have to happen?" Kumala replied slowly. She looked away from Lisa's beautiful face and massaged her temples, "I used to have a problem with Greta, which is still going on until now. And now you are destined to live together with Oscar. Oh my God, what kind of joke is this…"

"Mom, you don't have to worry. Oscar and I will definitely be fine." Lisa replied confidently.

In the past, Lisa and Oscar were too busy with all kinds of tribulations that had befell them. They would never stop wondering whether they were compatible or not. And so questions such as do we deserve to be married? What will the public think if they find out that we are married? What will happen? And many others were inevitable.

They had seen what grossly thinking about their surroundings had done to their relationship before, so now that they had found their happiness again, Lisa and Oscar swore they would live their days for their own dreams, and not for anyone else's sake.

Lisa wouldn't want to waste that golden opportunity. She didn't want their happiness to be taken away and thrown into darkness like before.

Even though Greta was Oscar's mother, the middle-aged woman had no right to interfere in her relationship with him. Oscar is old enough to know what he wants and who he wants to spend his old age with. His life decisions should be in the man's hand himself, not Greta, or Lisa.

After listening to what happened with Kumala and Greta in the past, Lisa was actually scared. She was afraid that the demonic woman would twist the facts and slander her along with Kumala in front of Oscar.

If Oscar let himself be influenced by Greta's words, Lisa's opportunity to have a relationship with that man would be over. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the warmth on that man's face turned to disgust and coldness.

As if she could read Lisa's mind, Kumala suddenly touched her child's lap. "Lisa, try to leave and slowly forget about Oscar. There are still many good men out there who are suitable for you. I can introduce you to some men from my close friends."

Of course Lisa was shocked to hear that coming out of Kumala's lips. The woman gasped in surprise for a moment then touched the back of Kumala's palm.

"Mom, is it because Greta is Oscar's mother that you told me to leave him? Is it because you don't want what happened to you in the past to happen to me?"

Just like what Lisa felt earlier, Kumala was surprised to hear Lisa's words. She did not expect that her daughter could read her mind and said it out loud with confidence. 

As Kumala said earlier, she actually doesn't mind if Lisa and Oscar get married again or have a relationship that is more than just friends. She actually felt happy because there was a good man who could treat Lisa well. She also didn't mind their different degrees. 

But after hearing Greta's vile words earlier, she had second thoughts. She didn't want Lisa to suffer if she kept insisting on marrying Oscar. 

Just like Lisa, Kumala doesn't want to pursue wealth or anything like that. She just wants her and her two children to live a good life filled with joy.

"Lisa, I know that you still love Oscar. I know that you've been thinking about remarrying that guy, but…."

"Mom, you really don't have to worry about me and Oscar. The path we are taking is not easy, there are many twists and turns. And now I don't want to lose him again. Please, try to believe in the path that Oscar and I will choose." Lisa interrupted before Kumala could continue her speech.

For the next few moments, Lisa continued to show her tough attitude. She tried to tell her mother that nothing could change her mind. Including Kumala. And just like Lisa, Kumala keeps telling Lisa that there are many men out there who are much better than Oscar.

Over time, Kumala's head felt dizzy and she had run out of words to reply to Lisa. Finally, the middle-aged woman could only sigh and get up from the sofa.

"I want to rest. I'm so tired." The woman said coldly. 

Then, after saying that, Kumala walked towards her bedroom, leaving Lisa alone.

At first, Lisa had plans to go back to Oscar's house and have dinner with him. She had also sent Oscar a short message saying the guy needed to pick her up around 7pm. But how could she go home now? Especially after having a disagreement with Kumala?

Lisa took a deep breath and got up from the couch. She closed the living room's window and looked at Kumala's door. The woman shook her head and took out her cell phone from her tote bag.

Lisa: I'm not going home tonight, I still want to spend more time with my mother. Are you okay sleeping alone?

It wasn't long before Oscar's text message came in.

Oscar: As you wish, my queen. I can sleep alone, but better yet I sleep with you ;) Have fun with your mom.. Send her my regards.
