The sadness had disappeared from the eyes of the lovers as time passed.

At half past one in the morning, Lisa was already lying under the blanket, listening to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. The sound of water hitting the tiled floor made her heart feel calm. 

She had been trying hard to suppress all her feelings of worry. Her eyes stared up at the bedroom ceiling, trying to make herself sleepy. But her mind was so busy that she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Her heart was already calm, but her mind was still busy. It's like being in an office that has a nice and comfortable atmosphere, but the work to be done is piling up like a mountain.

Lisa's hands gripped the edge of the blanket, and she forced her eyes to close.

She knows that she has a long way to go with Oscar, and who knows when it will end. Despite the coming problems and lies that will be exposed later… Lisa promises to always be by Oscar's side. 

Honestly, who can immediately accept reality when they are suddenly flooded with information that has been hidden from them for decades? Definitely nobody.

Not even Oscar himself.

Who would have thought that Oscar's biological father might not be Peter but Michael? Lisa didn't know about the man's uncle, whom she couldn't even clearly see yesterday. It wasn't Michael's appearance or how the man lived that she was worried about. 

Nonetheless, Lisa could still feel the evil aura that came from that man's figure.

In contrast to Peter, who is able to make those around him feel secure and calm, Michael actually gives off a frightening aura and almost makes everyone want to submit to him. Actually, Michael's aura was almost the same as Oscar's, but Lisa didn't say anything. After all, they are related by blood, that's through the Petersson family.

Lisa actually hoped that Oscar would still be Peter's biological son, not Michael. It wasn't that she hoped that Oscar wouldn't fall into poverty and couldn't provide her with such a rich life, she was just worried about Oscar's mental health. 

SHe couldn't imagine what would happen if Oscar found out that his real biological father was Michael. If that happened, maybe Lisa would never see the smile on that man's lips again. 

Gatot had betrayed his little family since Lisa was little. Now as it turns out, the same thing happened in Oscar's family. But according to Lisa, the events that happened in his family were more severe and complicated than those that happened in her life.

If Gatot had an affair with the owner of the boarding house where they used to live, Greta actually had an affair with her husband's brother. 

Just as Lisa was lost in her thoughts, Oscar suddenly came out of the bathroom. The man's hair was still wet, there was not a single cloth covering his upper body, and his hands were still busy drying his hair.

When Oscar turned off the bathroom's light, he realized that Lisa wasn't asleep yet. He raised his eyebrows, "You haven't slept yet?"

"I'm waiting for you so we can sleep together." Lisa replied, and not long after that, the woman yawned quite wide. 

Oscar didn't say anything else and left the room to dry his wet towels for a while. Then, less than 2 minutes later, the man came back into the room. Since Oscar was used to sleeping topless, the man hid under the blanket wearing only his long training pants.

Without making another sound, Oscar treated Lisa's body like a bolster. Both his arms wrapped around her while his right leg nudged Lisa's buttocks. 

"O-ouch..!" Lisa grumbled as she felt her body crushed by his tight hug. "Slow down."

Their size difference made Lisa sure that soon her bones would break because Oscar was hugging her too tight. However, instead of loosening his grip, Oscar actually tightened his embrace while laughing loudly.

But before Lisa could protest again, Oscar had already loosened his embrace on her body. 

That night, the sound of the clock ticking was the only echoing sound in the master bedroom. Lisa was in Oscar's arms, slowly getting more and more sleepy. But that does not mean she has the desire to sleep anytime soon.

Her eyes were still wide open and her fingers were drawing something on Oscar's chest. The man's breath was no longer loud, making Lisa sure that he was asleep. 

"Oscar…?" Lisa called softly.

Hearing Lisa's soft voice made Oscar open his eyes. At first, he was almost asleep. Hugging her tiny body like hugging a bolster made him feel sleepy. Moreover, the smell of her hair made him feel calm.

Oscar cleared his throat, "What's wrong?"

As time went by, Lisa couldn't suppress all her worries. So she hid her face in Oscar's chest and mumbled, "We can get through this together. You know, we nearly lost our son when William was kidnapped. Now, when trouble happens again, I'm sure we can get through this together."

"Everything will be fine," Lisa continued in a low voice, then she continued again in a voice so low that she was sure no one heard it but herself. "Isn't that right?"

"I know," Oscar replied. Of course the man heard everything, even the worried tone Lisa used and the words she mumbled. "Me and you… we both can get through this together."

"Everything will be fine." Oscar repeated, following Lisa's words earlier.

*** 

The next day, around 7:30 am, the couple woke up because of the bright sunlight that entered their room. Last night, they forgot to close the window blinds, so now the sunlight acted as their alarm in the morning. 

Lisa, who was no longer in Oscar's tight embrace but rather near the man's abs, frowned in annoyance. According to her, waking up like this always irritates her. It is better for her to wake up by herself than being forced to wake up by nature.

Lisa looked up and saw that Oscar was awake. The man's hand was stroking her hair which had fallen on the bed, but his eyes were staring blankly at the window. 

"Morning." Lisa said, her body wriggling up like a caterpillar. She put her head back on the pillow and stretched her body by raising her hands up.

Oscar turned and kissed Lisa's cheek. "Good morning."

"Are you ready for today?" Lisa asked quietly.

"Of course."
