Chapter 80 - Bullied Again
"Miss Lisa, are you alright?" Mrs. Rusminah asked with a sad face, looking very concerned.
Lisa ignored Mrs. Rusminah's question. The woman lowered her head and walked to the second floor with unsteady steps. Her mood was very messy. She felt very depressed by her mother-in-law.
The room felt empty, there were only Lisa and a big bed in the middle of the room. The woman stared blankly at the ceiling of her room. A faint moonlight that peeked from behind the white curtain hit the edge of the window dimly. The bedroom was very quiet and lonely.
Greta's hurtful words a moment ago still stuck in her head. She couldn't erase it from her mind. Lisa really couldn't stop thinking about her mother-in-law who had the heart to separate her from Oscar with a large amount of money!
Lisa couldn't get over the fact that Greta tried to bribe her to leave Oscar. Indeed, Oscar and Lisa fought several times and she demanded Oscar to divorce her immediately before this. But when someone else interfered with her affairs, Lisa became more afraid of divorce. Deep down inside, Lisa still wanted to be with Oscar because of love, but something fishy had happened between Oscar and her lately so that she still doubted Oscar's love.
Lisa lied down on the bed limply. She curled up like a baby in the womb and wept bitterly. Her long black hair was disheveled as she turned her body. Tears flowed from her cheeks and wetted the pillow she slept on.
A few moments later, Lisa heard the sound of the living room door opening from the first floor. Lisa woke up from her lonely daydream, thinking that the person who opened the door was definitely not Mrs. Rusminah. She knew Mrs. Rusminah always said goodbye to her whenever she left the house.
The sound of the living room door closing made Lisa alert and focused her hearing. The atmosphere in the house was very quiet, she could even hear the sound of footsteps going upstairs clearly.
Suddenly, Mrs. Rusminah's voice came from downstairs. "Welcome Mr. Oscar, your wife is waiting upstairs,"
"Lisa is okay, right?" Oscar asked. Lisa heard the man's voice faintly.
"Don't worry sir, I've prepared food for Miss Lisa and her other primary needs. Miss Lisa is fine, just..." Mrs. Rusminah replied a little hesitantly from downstairs.
"Just what, ma'am?"
"Mrs. Greta was here earlier... Looks like she was arguing with Miss Lisa."
"Mama was here earlier!?" Oscar asked in surprise. "When? What was she here for!?"
"It was half an hour ago. She stopped by here, and I don't really know why either. But I saw her bring a large parcel for Lisa. It seems that Miss Lisa didn't like the gifts your mother bought for her."
Oscar did not comment on Mrs. Rusminah's explanation. He turned away with his gloomy face and returned to the second floor to meet his wife.
Oscar had not returned home for two weeks. As usual, he was on a business trip out of town and sometimes abroad. He had not seen his wife for a long time, the wife he refused to allow to go to the office and work again. Oscar hoped his mother didn't bother Lisa and caused her to get hurt or something.
Oscar walked into the bedroom still in his black suit and blue tie. His hair was slightly longer than usual. His handsome face was looking more grim than usual.
Lisa looked at him from the bed. The man stood blankly and walked over to Lisa. But the woman ignored her husband. Lisa didn't want to talk to Oscar tonight. She turned her face towards the wall, avoiding conversation with her husband.
Oscar sat on the edge of the bed, turned around and stared at his wife who was pretending to be sleeping. He knew Lisa was not feeling well. The man touched Lisa's shoulder gently and said, "I heard Mama was here. She didn't bother you, right?"
Hearing this sentence, Lisa answered Oscar sharply and curtly, "What do you think?"
"Lisa, I'm worried about your condition while I'm away on duty! Don't play guess with me!"
"Oh so you want to know the story? Earlier your very kind mother came over to the house. She brought me a big parcel filled with baby supplies, and guess what else she gave me Oscar? Cash and check for one hundred million rupiah! Why did your mom give that kind of money? Of course to separate me from you, Oscar! Your mother wants us to divorce!"
Oscar was surprised. "What!? Mama gave you a hundred million cash and a check!?"
"Oh I guess you don't know. I thought you and your mother deliberately conspired to separate me from you? Really, I'm the stupidest woman in the capital! Marrying you is a big mistake Oscar! Why would I marry you if I'll just end up getting divorced?!"
Lisa looked into Oscar's blue eyes and let the man's heart hurt deeply by hearing what she said just now. Lisa was able to feel the feelings that she had never felt from her husband. Oscar looked nervous and embarrassed!
"Sorry, I'm sorry because Mama did something that upset you. She is the wrong one here! Please don't accuse me of conspiring with mom to kick you out of the Petersson family!"
"Then don't just shut up! Am I your wife or not? You should have defended me in front of your mother!" Lisa snapped irritably.
Hearing Lisa's words just now, Oscar stared at his wife's face as sharp as a dagger in the shining white light.
Oscar's hands clenched into fists. If he didn't try his best to control his emotions, he would have dragged Lisa off the bed and threw her on the floor right now. The man did not flinch and blinked, he tried to calm himself so as not to escape.
"Get enough rest. Dani will take you to the gynecologist tomorrow. He will pick you up around 10 in the morning," Oscar held back his anger as best he could. His tone was very calm but cold and scary.
Lisa was confused, this guy always changed the subject when Lisa asked and talked about Clara or Greta, as if her husband was hiding something from her. However, Lisa was too tired to face her husband and didn't want to prolong the fight. The woman then chose to go back to sleep.
Oscar changed his work clothes into his favorite silk night robe. The man landed right beside Lisa who was lying with her back to him.. His strong hands held his wife tightly. Even though he was upset with his wife, he still couldn't let his wife feel overwhelmed by stress because the baby in her womb could get stressed too!
