Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

Lisa's nose felt clogged when she saw William take his small steps away from her and Oscar, following his new teacher while holding his hand. She didn't think this day would come either. Even though William had cried long enough to be comforted with ice cream, Lisa didn't expect the boy to look so excited at his new school.

"Wait a minute." Lisa whispered towards Oscar.

Without waiting for Oscar's reply, Lisa walked past the man and followed William from behind. She just wanted to make sure the boy got to his new class safely. Lisa stood by the glass window of William's classroom and wiped the tears that trickled down her cheeks when she saw the boy seemed familiar with his new friends.

Deep down inside, Lisa was relieved that William could adapt so quickly. But again, today was her last day seeing William after he moved into his new boarding school. Finally, various kinds of feelings mixed together, filling the woman's heart.

Satisfied to see William, Lisa turned around and walked back to the principal's office.

This elite boarding school was run by an old friend of Oscar's family, his grandmother to be exact. This caused the principal and all the teachers who walked past them, to be friendly and keep smiling warmly.

"Mrs. Kristina, I entrust William to you. Let him study diligently here." Oscar said politely.

The woman, Kristina, nodded her head while still smiling widely, "Oh, sure! You don't need to worry, I and the other teachers will always take care and give the best for those who study here."

"Thank you, Mrs. Kristina." Now it was Lisa's turn to make a sound.

"I am grateful that Mr. Oscar and Mrs. Lisa have sent William to study here."

During the journey back from the boarding school, the car was quiet. Lisa sat in the front seat without making a sound. Since she delivered William for the last time in his new school and class, Lisa had not had the spirit to smile.

It felt like she had lost a part of her heart, and it hurt her when she remembered that she wouldn't have that much time to spend with William like before. And now they had to part again and who knew when they could meet again. 

If Amelia hadn't come to disturb their lives, William would still be attending his old school. Lisa could still meet the boy whenever she wanted.

Even though Oscar was driving and his mind was focused on the heavy traffic that morning, he could sense something was wrong with Lisa. When his car was stuck at a red light, the man's hand squeezed Lisa's hand warmly.

"Don't worry. William is a good child and you know that he adapts quickly to new environments, right? William will definitely get through this. At his new school later, he will definitely make new friends and learn good lessons."

Hearing that made Lisa realize one or two things. First, what Oscar said was right. William easily adapted to the new environment. His extroverted nature would be able to make him make new friends in no time. 

Second, Lisa was sure William would be safe at his new school. Not just anyone could go inside, parents couldn't even see their children there if there was no urgent need. So the chances of the boy being kidnapped were very slim.

Still, considering that she couldn't see William whenever she wanted, her heart suddenly felt heavy. 

Oscar and Lisa wanted the best for William, just like any other parents. Problems that occurred recently made them decide to send William to a boarding school.

Child abduction, human trafficking, drugs mixed in lollipops, and many others… They're what Oscar and Lisa were concerned about the most. They're lucky that nothing as such happened to William, except for a kidnapping, but that didn't mean Lisa and Oscar could sit idly by!

William had been kidnapped before. They didn't want another bad thing to happen to their child. 

Sending William to boarding school was the only way for Lisa and Oscar to breathe a sigh of relief. At least they knew that William would be fine because in terms of school security, the guards there would always be on patrol, guarding the boarding school along with CCTV cameras that were installed everywhere. It wouldn't be exaggerating to say that nothing could threaten their son's life.

"This is what's best for William, okay? Calm down." Oscar continued as the traffic light turned green.

Lisa nodded her head.

Time flies and today is the second day without William on her day. Usually, Lisa would rush home and spend time with William after work. But now, since the boy wasn't home and Oscar wouldn't be home from work before 7 pm, Lisa felt so lazy to be alone in the big and lonely house.

Sitting in the leather swivel chair, Lisa faced the large window of her room. She saw the office buildings that covered the sunset. 

Finally, Lisa decided to visit her mother after so long. Looking back, it had been a long time since she had visited the middle-aged woman. She has been so busy with work that she doesn't have time to visit Kumala lately.

Since Lisa decided to separate from Kumala, the woman rarely visited her mother. Every time she visited Kumala, Lisa always found an excuse not to linger in the same room with her. 

In the past, Lisa didn't have to worry about her mother because there was still Bella who could take care of her. But now, Bella no longer lives in the same house with Kumala, leaving the middle-aged woman alone.

Having such thoughts made Lisa hurriedly leave the office where she worked. While descending the stairs and waiting for a taxi to pass in front of her, Lisa texted Oscar.

Lisa: I won't come home early today. I want to visit my mother first.

No need to wait long, Oscar replied to Lisa's short message.

Oscar: Be careful on the road. Call me when you want to go home, let me pick you up.

Lisa stowed her cell phone in her bag and managed to hail a taxi that was passing in front of her. Since she didn't want to visit her mother empty-handed, Lisa decided to stop by at the nearest supermarket first.

"To the Jumbo supermarket, sir."
