Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

The sky had turned dark, as dark as Lisa's hair when Oscar's car pulled up in front of her house. The light in front was the only thing that illuminated the surrounding darkness. The night breeze that could make Oscar shiver with cold, greeted him as he got out of the car.

Lisa heard the door of the house being opened from outside when she had just come out of William's room. The boy didn't stop whining, he kept asking her to read him a fairy tale after changing into his pajamas. At first, Lisa only read a fairy tale from one of the books on the bookshelf in William's room. But when she closed the book, she saw her son's eyes were still wide open.

"Read the others, Mom." William pleaded.

Finally, Lisa got up from William's bed and picked up another fairy tale book. Even though her throat felt dry and she was starting to feel tired because this was the first time she had read 2 fairy tales at once, the woman still complied with her son's request.

From one book to another, William's eyes were still wide open. Perhaps because the woman was inexperienced when it came to taking care of children, she had run out of ways to put William to sleep. 

After picking up another book of fairy tales, the woman leaned her back against William's bed and began to read slowly. While reading a fairy tale, Lisa's right hand stroked her son's head.

Not long after, the boy's eyes slowly closed. Lisa kept reading the fairy tales, afraid that William would suddenly open his eyes and start whining. After waiting for more than 5 minutes, the woman finally stood up and put the fairy tale book on the bookshelf.

At first, after William was fast asleep, Lisa planned to hurry home. It could be a misfortune if she didn't come home when the man arrived at the house! The woman was too lazy to make small talk with him.

But her steps stopped for a moment as she remembered William's request when they were still at the diner. The boy was worried that his father was starving and asked Lisa to cook his father some dinner. 

Actually, Lisa is too lazy to do that. But in order to comply with her son's request, the woman walked towards the kitchen. 

Since Mrs. Rusminah has already rested and is probably sleeping in her room now, Lisa can't ask Oscar's favorite food menu. Not to mention that she can't cook European food that the man probably eats often.

"Should I just order some food?" Lisa grumbled softly while looking at her cell phone's screen. Her thumb moved up and down, trying to find an open restaurant. 

"But if I order food now, it won't arrive by the time Oscar comes home. Damn, it's so complicated."

Perhaps since Lisa used to live at Oscar's house for a long time, she knew where the cooking utensils and even the ingredients were stored. Instead of wasting any more time at her ex-husband's house, Lisa decided to make instant noodles.

While she was heating the water and preparing the spices, the woman couldn't stop thinking. If Oscar asked her why she was cooking instant noodles in his kitchen, what should she answer? What if he gets the wrong idea and thinks that she still likes him?

Lisa turned off the stove and started to drain the noodles and the gravy into a bowl. 

Oscar had just entered the house and took off his loafers when he heard a noise coming from the kitchen. The man then stepped into the kitchen while loosening the tie that was wrapped around his neck, the smell of instant noodles immediately filled his chest cavity.

"You're cooking commoners' food again?" Oscar said, greeting her as he got to the kitchen.

Lisa gasped in surprise at the man's voice and nearly dropped the bowl. She looked at him briefly over her shoulder and hissed, "Thank me for making you dinner instead of shocking me like a freaking ghost."

"Did I ask you to help me make dinner?" Oscar teased, this time he let a warm feeling roam his body.

"No! I made you this because my son is worried that his dad hasn't had dinner yet!"

After stirring the instant noodles flavored with chicken broth, Lisa turned around while carrying a bowl of steaming noodles. She placed it on the dining table and inhaled the aroma. 

Oscar stepped steadily into the kitchen and pulled up a chair at the dining table. He rolled up his sleeves and felt hunger in his stomach even though he had eaten dinner earlier. The golden-haired then man lowered his head and blew out the billowing smoke.

"William is sleeping in his room. Earlier he asked me to read a fairy tale so I have not come home until now. I also want to apologize because I've used your kitchen without your permission."

After saying that, Lisa turned her body and washed the cooking utensil she used earlier. 

"Why do you have to apologize for using this kitchen? You're still William's mother, so you can use this kitchen however you like. But most importantly, don't let there be a fire in this kitchen." Oscar replied casually. The man lowered his head and began to devour the instant noodles.

Luckily, Lisa was washing the utensils right now. If she were still standing in front of Oscar, she would have slapped the man's cheek! How dare her ex-husband say that she will burn this kitchen!

"I know I don't cook that often, but that doesn't mean I'm going to burn this kitchen down! Besides, I'm doing this only for my son, not for you!"

Hearing that made Oscar chuckle slightly as he blew off the instant noodles wrapped around his fork. He canceled his urge to eat and chose to stand up from his seat. The golden haired man walked over to Lisa while the woman was still washing the dishes.

Feeling the movement behind him made Lisa look up. For some reason, the temperature in the kitchen felt that it had risen drastically, making her face turn red. She didn't expect that Oscar was now standing behind her.

"You… What are you doing here? Eat your noodles and go to sleep!" Lisa averted her eyes and pretended to be busy washing the clean spoon again. "If it gets cold, it won't taste good, you idiot."

Lisa couldn't stop cursing herself. She didn't know why her heart was beating so fast just because her ex-husband was standing right behind her? Is this a sign that she actually has coronary heart disease?

Oscar cleared his throat, "Since when did I say I'm hungry? Why are you making me instant noodles on a night like this? Women like you should have to go home, not linger in a man's house. Especially your ex-husband."

"Are you stupid or what are you doing!?" Lisa turned around while frowning, "I cooked you instant noodles at William's request, you idiot! And what, a woman like me? Why would a woman like me go to my ex-husband's house? I'm here for my son, not for you!"

"Lisa, you haven't changed, huh....?" Oscar said while showing his sensual smile.
