Chapter 716 - Feelings Of Relief

"Promise?" Dissatisfied with Lisa's answer, William asked again and this time he also raised his little finger towards the screen.

Lisa lifted her pinky finger and said, "Promise! How could Mama and Papa miss William's birthday?"

Hearing Lisa's reply immediately made William smile widely while clapping his hands excitedly. "Thanks, Mom! William loves Mama and Papa very much."

"I love you too, and I really miss you. It's been a while, honey," said Lisa impatiently. Of course she didn't want to end the conversation with William on that tiring day. It's just that she still has to complete the task from Oscar! 

"Mama still has to finish this so that your Papa doesn't get angry!"

"Ah!" William interrupted before Lisa ended their call, "Let me help you with that! I already promised to help you."

Lisa didn't want to lie and said that she trusted William's ability to help her. She just didn't want to disappoint the boy. But then again, William was only 5 years old. How could Lisa have the heart to let him write that much?

Finally, she decided to agree with William's words, but she didn't have to hope that the boy would actually help her. The important thing was that she must immediately finish her punishment after this!

"Alright, it's up to you." Lisa replied. "Thank you, you are so kind to help me."

Hearing that made William's face completely change. He looked serious and his tiny hands on the study table were tightly clenched. "You're welcome, Mom. Anyway, at the latest the day after tomorrow, the writing will be finished and I will ask the teacher for help to send it home!"

"Yes, dear." Lisa replied, her urge to pinch William's cheeks was getting bigger and bigger as time went on. She really wanted to go into the screen of her cellphone and feel the presence of William beside her. "Come on, go to sleep. It is late! You have school tomorrow, right?"

William pursed his lower lip, "I have math class tomorrow! I don't like the lesson, it just gives me a headache!"

Not long after William said that, suddenly the boy's eyes looked to the side. Then his expression changed from spoiled to surprised. He quickly looked at his phone screen and said. 

"After this, my room's supervisor will come! I will go to sleep first!" William said hastily.

"Ah! Yeah, go to sleep quickly!"

Without another word, William hung up their phone. When the main room was no longer filled with his sweet voice and his laughter, Lisa's heart became heavy again. Today was the most tiring day she had ever lived.

This morning, she had a meeting with her boss and the work waiting for her on her desk was so piled up that she couldn't enjoy lunch. After that, she quickly finished her work so that she could go home faster. But suddenly, she remembered William's birthday which was coming soon. Finally, she stopped briefly at the nearest mall.

What made her even more tired and heavy was that she realized the money in her savings and her salary was not enough to buy the boy a birthday present. Now, she had to sit behind the desk, doing the punishment Oscar gave her. Still, her brain was thinking hard about what gift she could give William.

It seems the world isn't on her side lately!

The feeling of irritation and jealousy clogged her chest that Lisa couldn't even lift her head. She put her head on the table, and felt the folio against her forehead, then took a deep breath.

If only she hadn't made a fuss with Oscar by tying his hands and feet to the bedpost, maybe the man wouldn't have punished her with this. 

If only she had time to charge her cellphone and call Oscar before she arrived at the Mall…. maybe the man would not punish her and instead accompany her to choose a birthday present for William.

Lisa, why did you do such a stupid thing?

Now Lisa just wants to have the advantage to turn back time. If she could do that, she would definitely wake up before her cell phone alarm went off and be ready before Oscar woke up. And maybe, she would turn back time before she got to know Aditya so she could keep all of her savings.

Suddenly, while Lisa was contemplating her unlucky fate, she heard the sound of the main bedroom door being opened from outside. Without needing to look, the woman already knew that it was Oscar who had entered.

Hearing the sound of footsteps approaching her made Lisa immediately straighten her back straight, like a tree trunk. The woman smoothed her hair that must have looked messy and turned around.

"Are you done with your work?" Lisa asked casually.

Oscar hid his hands in the pockets of his trousers and leaned his hips on Lisa's desk. The man glanced at the table which was filled with piles of folios on which one of the papers had been written by Lisa. The corners of his lips automatically lifted upwards.

"Wow, looks like your work is neater than mine huh?" Oscar mocked with a sly smile. "It should be well-written. If not then I can't read it clearly."

Lisa resisted the urge to smack the handsome man's face with her fist. She followed Oscar's gaze and saw the writing that looked like chicken claws. It seems that the man would not be able to distinguish her writing from William's!

"Well, what should I do about this? A demon suddenly came into my life and told me to write 8000 sentences of apology," Lisa replied sarcastically, "I can't help but have to do it now rather than not finish it."

What Lisa was really trying to say was, 'So don't be such a prick and overbearing person! If you don't give me a lot of work like this, I'd be fast asleep by now!'

But of course Lisa didn't have the courage to say those scathing lines to Oscar. The man would take her words seriously and actually double her punishment!

It would be a shame if Oscar got angrier than before.

Oscar immediately laughed with satisfaction seeing the tired and annoyed look on the face of the woman he loved. He didn't know since when did a feeling of pleasure rise inside his heart whenever he saw her tormented.

"What a pity…" Oscar sneered softly.
