Chapter 694 - Cold As Ice

Chloe, who liked to see how far Oscar's patience would go, was satisfied when she watched her siblings walk away. She knew that he couldn't stay hostile to her for long, and if she could guess, Chloe would say that Oscar would call her by phone the next morning.

The two women watched Oscar get back into his car which was parked not far from them. Instead of leaving immediately as they had imagined, Oscar just remained in the car, as if waiting for Lisa to come over to him.

"I swear he's really acting like a kid now," Chloe grumbled in disbelief. She turned and saw Lisa with a sweet smile, their hands still holding tightly. "You go home, it looks like Oscar is waiting for you in the car. Calm him down or something, I don't know why he's still cranky at his age…"

Lisa imitated Chloe's smile and nodded her head, "I'll go home first. When will we go out like this again? I'll show you good places to eat around the town."

"It's a shame that we have to part now, even though we can still try other foods. But it's alright. You need to deal with your possessive boyfriend. Maybe we can go out for a walk another day." Chloe grumbled in annoyance.

"I'm sorry," Lisa replied pitifully, she actually still wanted to go for a walk and try another snack with Chloe. But if she didn't catch up with Oscar right away, he'd be getting annoyed with her. "I have to go home now."

Seeing Lisa's adorable attitude made Chloe couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. "Oh my… how cute..!! If you're sad like this, your face looks very much like William! Come on, don't feel guilty! I'm already satisfied with our gossiping session earlier. Next time we should meet and eat together like this again!"

Lisa stroked her cheek and threw the plastic bowl containing the snacks in the trash. It wasn't like she didn't want to eat them, it's just that she couldn't possibly carry the food into Oscar's car! 

"See you another day!"

Chloe cleared her throat and waved her hand, "Be careful on the road, honey!"

As Chloe and Lisa had expected, Oscar was waiting for the woman inside the car. The man's hand was already on the steering wheel while his left hand was on the clutch. The atmosphere in the car was so cold, either because of the help of the air conditioner or because of the cold glare from the man's eyes.

Once Lisa sat in the driver's seat and buckled up, Oscar didn't waste any more time and hit the gas. He took the leftmost path to make a U-turn and took the road to his house.

Apart from the sound of a car engine and tires screeching every time Oscar suddenly braked, no other sound could be heard. Maybe if they listened carefully, they could hear Lisa's heart beating fast.

During the trip, Oscar kept looking ahead, never glancing at Lisa at all. Usually, they had something to talk about when they were on their way home. Sometimes, Oscar would hold the woman's hand, or touch Lisa's thigh. Now that he felt annoyed, he didn't even look at her, let alone touching her.

The awkward atmosphere made Lisa feel bad for herself. She wanted to break the silence between them, but she didn't know what to do!

Sometimes, Lisa looked at Oscar's side face while thinking hard about what to do. Even though she was used to handling Oscar's mood swings, she didn't know what she should do to dissipate his anger.

The reflection of the traffic light gently touched Oscar's handsome face. The fiery red color that hit the man's face made Oscar look even more sinister.

One thing that Lisa likes the most in the late afternoon is the sparkling lights. Starting from traffic lights to building lights that emit various colors. All the lights look like decorations that make the world look even more beautiful. 

Just like now. Lisa thought it was a beautiful night. In addition to the beautiful lights, she had also just spent time with Chloe. Her stomach felt full and the cold breeze coming out of the car's air conditioner made her feel comfortable.

It was just that the man sitting next to her ruined the beautiful atmosphere of her evening. Her stomach no longer felt full, but rather nauseous, and the cold air inside the car gave her goosebumps. Her chest felt heavy as if it was being crushed by several large stones.

"Cough… cough..." Lisa tried to break the silence in the car with a small cough. Maybe he'll finally turn around and ask if she's all right.

Lisa glanced to the side and saw that the man was still not giving her the slightest bit of attention. Oscar's eyes were still on the not so crowded street. 

Seeing Oscar's cold attitude made Lisa roll her eyes. Just because she didn't answer the man's incoming call, Oscar was sulking like this? Chloe was right. Oscar really is childish!

Ten minutes later, the car stopped right in front of the man's house. Mrs. Rusminah was already standing at the entrance, ready to welcome the arrival of the pair.

"Welcome, Mr. Oscar and Mrs. Lisa." She greeted them in a friendly tone.

Oscar only nodded his head briefly and then walked past Mrs. Rusminah. Without making a sound, the man dragged his feet lazily towards the stairs. Lisa, who was standing right behind him, could only throw a faint smile at the middle-aged woman. 

Judging from their attitude, Mrs. Rusminah immediately knew that they were fighting. This time, what kind of problem befell them that they had to give each other cold shoulders like this?

Oscar opened the door to his room and didn't close it. He knew that Lisa would definitely come inside. Usually, if he wasn't in the mood to talk or was upset about something, Lisa would definitely follow him like a puppy. The man stepped towards the bedroom's window, opened it, and let the night breeze gently brush his face.

Like a child who had just been scolded by her parents, Lisa stood in the doorway anxiously. Over time, she could not stand Oscar's silent treatment!

"Oscar, just because I didn't pick up your call you got so angry like this? You know that my cell phone was silent because I had a meeting this morning, right?"
