Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

Just as Lisa accelerated her steps to hurry back to the house, she ran into Widiatri in her way. In this case, Lisa had no other option but to greet the woman who'd gossiped about her before, at least to show courtesy.

Lisa looked at Widiatri awkwardly as she said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Widiatri ..."

In response, Widiatri turned to ask her, "Lisa, I have a question." Her hand grabbed Lisa's arm then she leaned her head and whispered, "Lisa, I heard that you're married, right? Your mom said your hubby is a big boss in a big company, is that true? How come we're neighbors but I've never seen you bring him home?"

Hearing that question made Lisa's brow furrow. She did not expect Widiatri to remember in such detail what her mother had said yesterday. Lisa's face immediately turned sour at once. She pursed her lips and replied, "Mrs. Widiatri, isn't that my personal matter?"

Widiatri immediately interrupted, "But you're not a second wife, right? Not a mistress either, right? You're still very young, do you have the heart to have an affair with your own boss who probably has children and a wife waiting for him in his house? Tsk tsk... I feel really sorry for you that you have to end up getting knocked up by such a man..."

Lisa, of course, was not happy about Widiatri's stupid words. Not only stupid, but it really hurts. How dare that middle aged woman make up such a ridiculous story?

Lisa did not expect that she would be mentally weak facing the incessant bullying that her neighbors attacked her with. She stared at Widiatri's ugly face with a sharp gaze, her lips wrinkled and her palms squeezed tightly to hold back the rage that burned her soul.

"Mrs. Widiatri, don't you have any other work besides sticking your nose on other people's business? Is the food in your home not enough to feed you and your family so you don't have a better job than gossiping like this?" Lisa snorted and then continued, "I don't care, say what you want about me! But if you insult my unborn child... I won't accept it! Think if someone made up a ridiculous story about you and your child, then slandered you without the slightest guilt. Would you let them do that to you?"

Widiatri's face suddenly flushed red, either because of embarrassed or annoyed. She was stunned for a moment, her lips locked as if an invisible thread had sewn them together. She couldn't hide her annoyed expression in front of Lisa.

"I see, is this how you talk to people who are older than you? You are now pregnant with the child of a lecherous, irresponsible man! You think people here don't know about your shameful act, huh!?" Widiatri shrieked, trying to cover her embarrassment.

Lisa chuckled casually. "Even if the father is an irresponsible man, it's still none of your business, right? He doesn't even take your food or drink, does he?"

Lisa doesn't want to argue with Widiatri because she knows it's useless to argue with an uneducated idiot like her who can only gossip and vilify people around her. Even though Lisa knew, Widiatri's words about her unborn child were so painful. She didn't want her child to be ridiculed by the world, especially when they're yet to be born.

"You...! I used to think you were a good kid! But it turns out that you're nothing but a cheap girl who likes to play with men for money! Tsk tsk, pity, how come your mother gave birth to an embarrassing daughter like you! I feel sorry for Kumala!" Widiatri replied, still annoyed and trying to cover up her embarrassment.

The more Lisa treats Widiatri well and politely, the more insolent the middle-aged woman will be towards her.

"Listen, Mrs. Widiatri, I have nothing to do with your family, right? You should just rest at home instead of wasting your little time left in this world just to demonize others. Remember your age, you're not young anymore," Lisa replied, looking relaxed and triumphant.

After making such a spicy comment and dropping the truth bomb, Lisa immediately turned around and ignored Widiatri, who was still frozen in her place.

Just when Lisa turned around, she found her mother standing in front of her. The woman's hands were crossed, her facial expression showed great anger.

Lisa knows that her mother came here to help her defend herself, but she doesn't want to argue anymore. She led Kumala to turn around and return home. "Mom, don't bother with their rotten mouths. They're not worth it!"

Kumala shook off Lisa's hand, this time she didn't pay attention to her daughter's words at all. She walked over to Widiatri with a raging heart and then patted her shoulder firmly.

Kumala stared at Widiatri's eyes with a sharp gaze then said, "You deliberately provoked Lisa first, right? Yes, I know you bothered her first! Where is your manner, Widiatri?"

Widiatri was very surprised by Kumala's reaction just now. They used to be friends when Kumala first moved into a rented house. However, that does not mean that Kumala will continue defending Widiatri's bad deeds.

Not wanting to lose before Kumala, Widiatri looked for a thousand reasons to justify her bad attitude. "How about it? All I said is fact, Lisa is pregnant with the child of a married man, right? It's a shame that you raise such a daughter!"

Kumala was eager to slap Widiatri's face at that time, but Lisa immediately stopped her. "Mom, just ignore Widiatri's rotten mouth. Let her say whatever. The important thing is that I don't have bad intentions to provoke others or stick my nose on others' business like Mrs. Widiatri does,"

Lisa grabbed her mother's arm gently then turned around and returned to the house. From a distance, Widiatri couldn't accept it because she felt humiliated by Lisa.

When Lisa and Kumala entered the house, there was no conversation between the two. Lisa understands that her mother is very embarrassed because of her. Because of her, her mother had to bear the burden of being humiliated by their neighbors.

After this, Lisa decided to move again. She doesn't want to see her mother suffer from being bullied by the mouths of irresponsible neighbors like Widiatri and other gossipers.

She plans to move to another place until the child is born. Then she will return to her mother's house to introduce her child. Lisa knew and was sure that no matter how angry Kumala was with her, this middle-aged woman would not have the heart to cut ties with her grandchild.

But the problem is, where should she move while she doesn't have a job? Jakarta is so large, it is impossible for her to be able to find a place to live in a day or two.

In the end, someone she can rely on in Jakarta is none other than Andien. Moreover, Lisa has not contacted her friend for a long time just to give news.

Without much thought, Lisa immediately contacted Andien and the call was picked up in a short time.

"Hello? Lis? It's really unusual for you to call me. I thought you forgot me, haha! What's up?" Andien asked from across.

Lisa took a deep breath. "Sorry, I just contacted you now but I'm really busy! By the way, can I ask for your help?"

"What do you want to ask for help, Lis?" Andien asked from across.

"It seems I need to stay in your apartment again for a while.. Sorry, but it's really urgent!" Lisa replied nervously.
