Chapter 85 - Like Icebergs And Volcanoes
"Ah, Mr. Oscar has come... Okay, it's time for me to go home!" Andien shouted as she hurriedly cleared the dining table. The woman took her empty plate to the kitchen and put it in the sink. She grabbed her jacket and tote bag then returned the chair she was using to its original position.
It was Oscar's house after all. Even though she came to meet Lisa, Oscar was still the head of the family and the owner of the house. Andien then met him and got ready to go home.
"Thank you very much for the dinner, Lisa and Mr. Oscar, of course. Pardon me for visiting at night. I just want to meet my best friend and have a chat with her. Okay then, I will say goodbye first, Mr. Oscar."
Oscar didn't say much, the man just nodded and raised one of his hands when Andien said goodbye to him. Lisa escorted Andien out of the house. Before Andien actually left Oscar's house, the woman said to Lisa, "Hey, while your husband is home, try to talk to him! Don't forget about that!"
"Yes, I know. You hurry and go home, it's already late. It'll be hard to find a taxi at this hour!" Lisa replied hurriedly.
After Andien left, Lisa did not return to continue her dinner in the dining room. She immediately went up to the second floor and returned to her room. A few moments later, she heard a steady sound of footsteps climbing the stairs.
Lisa hoped Oscar would still eat his dinner downstairs but the man went up to the second floor and walked over to her room. Lisa didn't want to talk to her husband after she found out that Clara worked at Petersson Communication now. To make matters worse, Andien saw Clara and Oscar go home together!
The door to the room was left slightly opened. Oscar pushed the door open and entered the room.
"Hey you! How dare you step in without knocking first!?" Lisa shouted after she had just changed into her nightgown. The woman gave Oscar an unpleasant look, she was really jealous.
"This is my house, what do you mean I can't enter?" Oscar asked with a little surprise and annoyance to see Lisa treating him like an intruder.
"What are you doing here at home? Aren't you dating Clara right now?" Lisa asked sarcastically. Her words were packed with anger.
"Lisa, it's not like what you think!" Oscar replied.
Lisa laughed sarcastically. She knew the man was hiding something. "Hey, listen. I'm not a child anymore. I know you still love Clara. See, you recruited her to be an employee in your company, right? You raise her rank in about a month. You think I don't know about this?"
Oscar's blue eyes widened even more. He was a little embarrassed when one of his secrets was leaked. "Did Andien come here to tell you that!?"
Lisa snorted, "It doesn't matter who told me and it's none of your business, Oscar. Besides, you're the president of your family's company, so I assume you can do whatever you want even if it means breaking the company's rules."
Oscar was silent for a moment. He put both of his hands in his trouser pockets. His face was flat, his eyes were sharp and cold as an ice. The man took a deep breath and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you can't see Andien in this house or anywhere!"
Hearing Oscar's order, Lisa's heart burned. She got up from the bed and pointed right at the man's face. "You can't limit my friendship with Andien! Just so you know, Andien is my best friend! You've already confiscated my phone, locked me in the house, got me out of your office because I was pregnant. Now you forbid me to talk to my own best friend, are you crazy, Oscar?"
"I'm not sure your best friend is a good influence on you, Lisa. Look what she just told you about Clara is a slander!"
Lisa did not believe Oscar's words at all. She was sure that her husband did something. But she would break it down soon!
"Oscar, whenever I ask about Clara, you always divert my questions. You're always silent, of course I'll suspect you!"
"I've said it many times, I have nothing to do with Clara! We are no longer lovers like we used to be!"
"Then explain why that bitch was able to work for your company and get promoted in an instant?" Lisa asked sharply and seriously.
Oscar started to fall silent again. Every time the question about Clara was thrown at him, his tongue suddenly sputtered. The man lowered his head, walked over to the window and stared at the dark, starless night sky. He did not pay attention to Lisa's question and decided to zip his mouth for a long time.
Lisa almost gave up on her question. Her husband didn't want to talk about what had really happened between him and Clara. Her suspicion only got stronger. Oscar was having an affair with Clara, that's for sure!
Oscar was still speechless while staring at the starless night sky with a blank gaze. The man took a deep breath and closed his blue eyes, dissolved in his lonely daydream.
Suddenly, Lisa asked Oscar another question. "Oscar, how many women did you know before you married me?"
Oscar then woke up from his reverie. This question was so damning that he tilted his head, still unable to answer Lisa's question.
"I guess there must be dozens or even hundreds of them! Seeing that you are a handsome and rich man, not to mention you're of European descent!" Lisa said spontaneously.
"Lisa, it doesn't matter how many women I dated before I married you. It's all in the past, let it go. It's not good to bring up the past again. From now on, everything will return from zero. I don't want my past with these women to ruin our relationship as husband and wife," Oscar explained with a sad face.
"I'm your wife, Oscar! I have to know, what if you are cheating on another woman? You don't understand my feelings as a wife wondering whether her husband loves her sincerely or not!"
"Do I have to tell all my stories to you, Lisa? No! I don't have to tell all of them."
"But I am your wife Oscar! Don't you dare to hide something from me!"
"I better tell all my past when that child was born. You just rest. It's not good for a pregnant woman to stay up this late," Oscar tried to line Lisa's question so as not to make a fuss again. The man approached his wife and hugged her tightly.
Sometimes, Lisa couldn't understand Oscar at all. Even though they had been married for half a year, this man was still very mysterious! He also gave off strange vibes on top of that. Sometimes, he made others feel warm and soft. The other times, he could be very indifferent and cold. Oscar was like an iceberg and a volcano at the same time!
Lisa returned to lie down on the bed. Oscar then joined her without saying anything. Lisa tried to close her eyes to go to sleep.. That night felt so lonely for her even though her husband had returned home.
