Chapter 291 - Why Do You Suddenly Ask?

Lisa opened her eyes and looked at the morning sun that warmly greeted the world. She got up from the bed and lifted the curtain covering the bedroom's window. Her body felt heavy as if a car had just hit her in a dream. She did not know what time it was, but it was clear that her eyes still felt sticky and heavy.

She turned around, staring at the figure of the man who was still lying and asleep on the bed. His face was very handsome, she never got bored of staring at his face every time she woke up from her deep sleep.

After a while, the blonde haired man opened his eyes slowly. He yawned then tried to turn his head, looking for the figure of his future wife who had awakened earlier.

"Good morning, Oscar," Lisa said kindly as she approached her future husband who had just woken up.

The man smiled, his eyes still heavy. "Morning darling..."

Lisa helped Oscar change cloth then led him downstairs to have breakfast together. Usually, Mrs. Rusminah prepared breakfast and dinner, but she was currently on leave to return to her hometown due to urgent family matters. As a result, Lisa had to prepare breakfast for Oscar and herself that morning.

Lisa treated her injured future husband with great care. The two of them enjoyed their lovely breakfast with the sound of chirping birds outside the house.

After breakfast, Oscar returned to his room on the second floor. Lisa was still busy with house chores on the first floor, so Oscar secretly called Dani over to come over to his house, and talk about something Lisa shouldn't know.

Knock.. Knock...

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly broke Oscar's concentration as he was typing on his laptop.

"Come in, Mr. Dani," Oscar said from the room. His slim fingers stopped typing on his laptop.

"Good morning sir, I brought documents from the office and some information regarding yesterday's incident," the giant in black coat said as he put Oscar's briefcase on the bed.

"So how? Have my suspicions been proven yesterday?" Oscar asked softly, he turned his head to Dani as the man was still bowing to him.

"I've checked all the data on the car that hit us yesterday. Unfortunately, the car was lost whether it was destroyed or transported on the same day. There was no trace from the car that hit us," Dani explained firmly.

Oscar rubbed his chin thoughtfully, his suspicions deepening. "Hmm, it looks like the perpetrator is really careful in preparing this plan. They must know we will find them out, that's why they did their best to destroy the evidence," Oscar added.

"I also got CCTV footage around the road where the incident took place. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but when the accident happened, the CCTV was immediately cut off," Dani explained again.

Without Oscar realizing it, the door to his room was still open, leaving a little gap to peek at. Along with this, Lisa who went up to the second floor heard a faint sound from inside the room. She peeked through the gap in the open door and then sharpened her ears.

"Mr. Oscar, do you suspect this is the act..." Dani did not dare to continue. He was afraid to say a name that Oscar had not heard for a long time and obviously hated so much.

"No way, they no longer have anything to do with my family, Dani!" Oscar replied, his voice rising.

"But sir, this is just my suspicion. I mean, it is possible that they still want revenge on your family," Dani added.

From behind the gap in the open door, Lisa was a little surprised to hear the secret conversation between the two men. She was afraid that Oscar would be killed for dealing with bad people who were trying to compete with him in dirty ways.

The atmosphere surrounding Lisa was suddenly gloomy and cold. Her feelings of restlessness were growing. 

From inside the room, Oscar was seen lighting a match and then lighting his cigarette. The man sucked the tobacco deeply and then exhaled. "I want you to follow up on this case. Nothing can be hidden in this world, the culprit from yesterday's accident will definitely meet!" 

"Understood, sir," Dani said as he turned over to grab the doorknob and went out.

Before Dani came out, Lisa suddenly stepped back a little from where she peeked, pretending she had just come from the ground floor.

"Oh, good morning, Mr. Dani!" Lisa said kindly with a smile.

"Good morning, Miss Lisa, sorry I will go back to the office first," Dani replied politely.

Lisa entered the room and found that her future husband was smoking. The smell stung her nose so she covered her nose and mouth and said, "Geez Oscar, you're smoking in the room!?"

Hearing Lisa's unhappy voice made Oscar flinch in bed. The cigarette he smoked fell and then he immediately turned it off. "Eh sorry, I didn't know you were there," he said, stammering a little like a thief who was caught in the act.

"Oscar, I know you always smoke when there's a big problem. Come on, why do you have to hide your problems from me anyway? I am your future wife!" Lisa said as she walked over to Oscar and sat beside him.

Oscar was silent, he pretended not to know what Lisa was talking about. 

For an instant, Lisa knew that the man was clearly hiding his problem from her. Those two clear blue eyes couldn't lie to her strong hunch. She touched Oscar's hand gently, trying her best not to touch one of his injured hands.

"Okay, then can I tell you about my past?" Lisa asked softly, leaning her head on Oscar's broad shoulder as she stared at the handsome face of the man.

In return, Oscar just cleared his throat as he typed into his laptop.

"In the past, I really craved love and affection from my parents. But my life doesn't seem as beautiful as I dream of it," Lisa said, staring blankly.

Oscar just did not respond, or show interest in listening to Lisa's story. His fingers were still busy typing on his laptop.

Lisa continued her story. Even though she knew that the man was not interested in listening to her story, she wanted to provoke him to tell her the problem he hid from her.

"My family is devastated because of my father. My father left my mother for a rich widow because she didn't make him happy. Father also took all of my mom's savings. All the misery of my life started from there," she explained. Her voice sounded sad.

"But fortunately that bastard left, because he often hurt us. If my father didn't leave my mother, maybe my family life would be even more miserable," Lisa continued.

Oscar still showed no interest in Lisa's story but one of his uninjured hands wrapped around Lisa's waist brought her closer. He then landed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Oscar, do you think everyone is like this? Always in trouble? I wonder if a rich person like you also has a problem like me who comes from a mediocre family," Lisa said, trying to provoke Oscar.

Oscar stopped his typing then looked closely at Lisa. The man wrinkled his forehead. Lisa was immediately surprised at Oscar's seemingly displeased reaction to her question just now.

"Why do you suddenly ask?"
