Chapter 401 - Prove It To Me!
Lisa can't take it anymore. She felt her heart torn when she saw the blonde haired man use a small child to persuade her to make her come back to him. What a sneaky tactic!
Lisa glared at the man's blue eyes deeper, her gaze more piercing than usual. And it made his heart waver.
Oscar tried to hold back his anger, trying not to explode and be patient as he explained, "Lisa.. I'm not lying to you. William is our son. Our biological son! He never died in the first place! This is all Clara's doing, she deliberately made a rotten plan to threaten me so that I would marry her and leave you. Do you still remember when we were going to reconcile? When I told you to wait at the chief's house? Two days before, that demonic woman called me and told me all the truth about William. If I don't marry her, William would be taken away and his custody would completely fall to Clara! I couldn't let our real child fall into the wrong hands, Lisa!" The man grasped Lisa's shoulders firmly and worriedly.
Lisa listened to her ex-husband's explanation with a face filled with disbelief. She couldn't help crying. She rubbed one of her teary eyes and snapped, "You liar! William is Clara's adopted son, she took him from the orphanage! Why do I have to believe what you say!?"
"What I said earlier is the truth, no lies. If you don't believe my explanation, you can ask Clara yourself. She was the only one who threatened me and used William as her shield. If that woman hadn't threatened me, I wouldn't have left you!"
"No need to make up stories. You are a damn liar! Why don't you just write novels instead of being a businessman? I'm sure your novel will sell out in the market! Oh, even better, you can become a playwright for a small drama on TV! Never mind, don't waste your time explaining to me. Move, I want to go to church to get married!"
When Lisa glanced at the clock on her cellphone, it was already 8:30. She would be late if she didn't hurry up!
Suddenly, William came and grabbed her arm when she turned around and stepped away from the two of them. The little boy put on a pitiful face and said, "Mama don't go away! William is sad.. "
Without realizing it, the boy was shedding tears while hugging her. Hearing the sound of crying from the little boy made Lisa's heart even more discouraged. She stopped her steps and then picked up the boy and said, "Why? Don't cry.. If you cry, your eyes can dry out ..."
Oscar approached Lisa who was carrying and calming William. He looked at her then asked, "Are you getting married today? With Rangga?"
Lisa hugged William tighter as she wiped the boy's tears then gave Oscar a cynical and piercing look. "Of course, what's that got to do with you?"
Hearing Lisa's words just now made Oscar even more furious. "You are really going to marry Rangga!? Are you sure you love that man?"
Lisa thinks there is no point in arguing with Oscar. All this time, she had wanted to say the bottom of her heart— the only man she ever loved was Oscar but he repeatedly hurt her!
But Lisa suddenly fell silent, her tongue went out. She couldn't tell what was in her heart. The most important thing now is how she can love Rangga as time goes by because She has no hope of returning to Oscar's arms.
Seeing that William had stopped crying, Lisa began to feel relieved and calm again. "Don't cry anymore, okay? Do you love candy?"
William was surprised when Lisa repeatedly referred to herself as 'auntie'. "Not Auntie! Mama!"
"Honey, I'm not your mother. Papa, you will find prettier than this Auntie, okay?" Lisa said as she reached into her tote bag, looking for the candy she kept.
William looked up at his father and did not take the candy Lisa handed him. Then Oscar nodded, motioning for his son to accept the candy.
The little boy received candy from Lisa and said, "Thanks Mama!"
And so her last line of defense collapsed. How adorable that boy was that it made her heart melt.
"You take care of your child. Don't try to stick your nose in my business. And remember, never come and bother me again in the future!" Lisa turned then stepped away from the two of them.
Oscar became agitated, the man quickly took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lisa. "Lisa! I'm not lying to you! See for yourself, this is William's birth certificate and the hospital records from the time he was born. This is all Clara's doing. She also threatened Mrs. Rusminah to lie in front of us!"
Lisa grabbed the paper and read the content. Her heart suddenly fell and nervous. She didn't know whether to trust Oscar or not.
The problem is that this golden haired man has disappointed her too many times in the past. She did not want to take the risk of remarrying him because he's the only reason for her severe trauma.
Lisa was silent holding the paper. Oscar just looked at her closely and said, "Read carefully, did I lie to you?"
Lisa's body trembled all over as she continued reading William's hospital reports and birth certificate. She couldn't find any sentence that stated her son died at that time. She felt like she was getting a hard slap for that.
Lisa didn't know how to react, but she really hoped that William would really be her child. Still, she was also afraid to accept the fact that William was her son.
After reading the document Oscar gave her, she handed back the paper roughly. "Huh, you think you can trick me this way? You think with your status and money, you can easily fake documents like this?"
Oscar was furious to hear Lisa's words. Why would he fake the document even though he could? Is she blind to the point that she does not recognize her own child? Did Rangga change her so much that she couldn't see the truth? Oscar was really angry.
"Lisa, I really don't understand you, you can't even recognize your own flesh and blood!" said Oscar while carrying William who suddenly cried again. "If you don't believe it, we can ask Mrs. Rusminah! She conspired with Clara in this!"
"Okay! I want to know what kinds of gimmicks you are playing with me! Let's see her!" Lisa replied firmly.
After Clara returned to America, Mrs. Rusminah immediately confessed and told Oscar everything. When the man learned of the fact that the maid had been conspiring with Clara in this incident, he was very angry and wanted to make her pay for her evil deeds.
However, knowing that she was in a very difficult position and cornered by Clara's threats, Oscar finally gave her a second chance to correct her mistakes.historical
Not long after, Lisa went into Oscar's car and sent a message to Rangga.
Lisa: I have a sudden business, we will postpone our wedding ceremony at church tomorrow.
Rangga: Are you okay? Do you need help?
Lisa: No problem, I can do it alone. Sorry about it.
"I swear, if this man dares to lie to me again...." Lisa said in her mind.
