Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

Reading the short message from Oscar made Lisa purse her lips. She didn't expect that man to act colder than her! Why did he have the heart to give her a reply with just one word!? A few weeks ago, Oscar seemed so excited to talk to her. But why does that guy look so cold now!?

While still grumbling and feeling irritated, Lisa turned off her phone screen. She hurriedly turned off the computer and cleared her desk from the mountain of paper.

"Just look at you Oscar, I'll definitely send a shorter message than yours next time! How dare he reply to me that way? If I had known he'd answer this way, I wouldn't have told him that I wanted to pick up William!"

Lisa couldn't get an empty taxi right away, it was still working hours after all. Every time she raised her hand to stop a taxi, they just kept going. Often the woman looked at her watch, hoping that William wouldn't be fussy because no one had picked him up yet.

Even though Lisa knew William was a smart boy, he was still a child. The boy would surely cry loudly when no one was picking him up after school.

Finally, after standing still for a long time in the office building, Lisa managed to stop the blue taxi. Hastily, she said the name of William's school while opening her cell phone. She wouldn't let her ex-husband protest and terrorize her cellphone just because William hasn't been picked up yet!

Luckily, the last conversation Oscar sent was still that brief one-word message. Relieved, Lisa stowed her cell phone in her bag. Although she looked calm from the outside, there was actually a strange feeling growing inside her. It was as if her heart was trying to tell her something wasn't quite right.

But Lisa ignored that thought and blamed herself for being too tired.

Arriving in front of William's school fence, Lisa saw several children wearing bright white and yellow uniforms waiting to be picked up. Some parents are seen with their children, while some others are still busy looking for theirs among the sea of small humans.

After paying the fare, Lisa rushed out of the taxi. Knowing William was thirsty for attention, the boy usually stood in front by himself. But why didn't she see him anywhere? Is he still in the classroom because his assignment isn't finished yet? But Oscar was strict, he couldn't possibly let his son not do his homework on time!

As the CEO of a large company in Indonesia, Oscar is definitely a firm and punctual man. The man will certainly educate his child just like how he was educated by his parents.

Lisa felt even more panicked when she didn't see William's figure. If Oscar had picked up the boy, he would have told her beforehand!

Without wasting any more time, Lisa approached a group of teachers seemingly talking to each other. There was a feeling of relief in her heart knowing that the teachers at William's school would not let strangers pick up their students.

"Ah hello, excuse me. I am the mother of William Petersson, has his father picked up my child yet?"

One of the teachers turned around and smiled broadly, "William's mother huh? It just so happened that William had been picked up by his uncle!"

"What? Uncle?" Lisa asked in disbelief. As far as she knows, William has no uncles or even relatives living in Indonesia. Oscar's entire family including his father has returned to live in Sweden.

"Oh? Don't you know that William was picked up by his uncle? Wasn't William's uncle already contacting you? Earlier, that man told me that William's parents were busy so he was told to pick up William at school."

Seeing the panicked look on Lisa's face made the group of teachers panic. They clearly remembered that the man who picked up William earlier claimed to be his uncle!

The more Lisa listened to William's teacher's explanation, the more she felt uneasy. Hearing those words just made her heart stop beating. Who picked up her only child?

"Can you explain to me what the man who picked up William looked like?" Lisa asked nervously.

"He was tall and probably 40 years old. He had a thick mustache and beard. His appearance looked messy, he looked like a bad person, that's why I thought William had an uncle who looked like that…"

Lisa listened to the woman's explanation with a restless heart and a chaotic mind. She was trying to guess who claimed to be her son's uncle.

"What happened? Do you not actually send him to pick up your son?" The woman asked. She grew increasingly nervous thinking about Lisa's next answer, feeling that she could've been a negligent teacher who left other people's children in the wrong hands!

At a time like this, Lisa has run out of words to describe her feelings. The first person that came to mind was Oscar.

Lisa immediately reached into her tote bag and searched for her cell phone with trembling hands. She wouldn't be able to forgive herself if something bad happened to the boy.

But Oscar still didn't pick up the call. Lisa bit her lower lip and couldn't stop grumbling. Why didn't he receive her phone call at a crucial time like this!?

All Lisa can do now is stand in the same place while her heart is beating fast. She never stopped sending prayers for her son's safety!

After ringing for quite a while, Oscar finally received Lisa's phone call. This time, Lisa's eyes were red and her throat felt lumpy. Her hand holding the phone trembled violently.

"Hello, Oscar, where are you now?! I- I already told you that today I want to pick up William at school. But by the time I got here, William was gone! I asked the teachers and they said William had been picked up earlier…"

Hearing Lisa's panicked voice made Oscar stop what he was doing. At first, the man was struggling to see the report from his assistant while sipping a cup of coffee. The golden haired man immediately frowned and tried to listen to Lisa's rambling which sounded indistinct.

"Hello, Lisa? What are you saying? I can't quite hear your voice. Is the connection over there that bad?"
