Chapter 434 - Dear Uncle

"Don't want to. I don't want to go home with anyone else. I just want to go home with Mama." 

In a situation like this, WIlliam still had the time to make Oscar angry. But the boy's next sentence made him raise his eyebrows.

"Papa, just go. It seems that your office friends need you over there. I can go home with Mama by taxi so you don't have to worry!"

Lisa turned and looked at her son in disbelief. He had just snuffed out Oscar's confidence and now he turned into an understanding angel? Does something like this often happen in their home?

Even though the question was on the tip of her tongue, Lisa chose to keep her mouth shut. The woman nodded her head and agreed with William's words.

Not long after Oscar paid at the cashier, the golden-haired man rushed out of the restaurant. Perhaps since his father was no longer there for him to ridicule, William turned silent and enjoyed the food he ordered.

The same goes with Lisa. The woman took a clean spoon and began to devour her almost cold food.

"Mom," William suddenly raised his head and looked at his father's plate. "Do you think Papa will be hungry on the road? He has not finished his food, look, there is still a lot left. Oh, I'm sure he's going to be hungry…"

Lisa was surprised to hear her son say it in a worried tone. Earlier, the two gentlemen looked as if they were the biggest enemies to each other and now William was worried about his father? 

'Ah, they are really adorable,' Lisa muttered to herself.

"Don't worry about that. There is a canteen in Papa's office, so if he is hungry later he can definitely buy food there. Or he can also stop by a restaurant nearby. So," Lisa pinched William's pointed nose, "Son, don't worry, okay?"

William chuckled and grabbed his mother's index finger. According to Lisa, the boy was smart for his age. Every time she heard his sometimes not-so-funny jokes, Lisa was always surprised by him. And the shock came back to her now.

"Ma, Ma, later when Mama takes William home, don't go home right away, okay! Mrs. Rusminah must have rested so no one will cook for Papa tonight. So you have to cook delicious food for Papa!"

Actually, Lisa wanted to stay longer at Oscar's house. She had not played with her son in a long time. But remembering so many memories etched at every corner of the house made her almost refuse William's request.

"Mama, how can you leave Willian alone at home?" William asked in a languid tone. He blinked a few times and deliberately pursed his lips, hoping his action would break down his mother's determination.

And yes, just as William expected, Lisa's heart melted when she saw the look on the boy's face. Finally, she nodded her head, "Alright, I will play at William's house first. But when Papa comes home, I will go home, okay? I still have a lot of work to do."

"Well, why don't you just sleep at my house? My bed is really big! Later if Mama wants to sleep with William, I promise that I won't be naughty all day long."

"No, I can't sleep at William's house tonight." Lisa replied firmly. Even though she could have slept in William's room and left early in the morning before going to work, she didn't want to do that.

Moreover, her roommate Vira would definitely force her to tell everything. She certainly wouldn't let her go without any gossip she could get from her. Instead of making the problem more complicated and her sins increasing because she had to lie, Lisa chose to refuse William's request.

"So what?" William pursed his lips even more. "Aren't you and Papa getting better?"

Lisa was stunned to hear her son's question. The woman suddenly fell silent and tried to digest the boy's question. What did he mean by saying that she was getting along with Oscar? If it weren't for William's school event that required her to come, she would still be working behind her desk right now!

"Who said that I had made up with Papa, hmm?" Lisa's appetite instantly disappeared. She leaned her back against the back of the chair and pushed away a few strands of hair that almost covered William's eyes. "Me and Papa will never go back together again, dear."

"Yeah but I don't care! What I know is that Papa is my father and you are my mother. And since Papa and Mama are William's parents, you two have to live in the same house! One house! Not far away like this. I also want to be like my friend whose parents live in the same house!"

***

Oscar's black car drove above average so he could get to the office in 20 minutes. When he got an urgent call from Dani, his personal assistant, he felt uneasy. 

What is that bastard doing back in Indonesia?

When Dani saw Oscar's car stop in front of the office building, the man immediately rushed to open the driver's door. The burly man bowed politely and greeted.

"Welcome sir, sorry for interrupting your time."

Oscar adjusted the black tie that was wrapped around his neck. "Where is he?"

"He's in your room, sir."

Oscar just cleared his throat then stepped steadily towards his room. Before he opened the door, the man took a deep breath. He wouldn't let himself get humiliated in front of that uninvited man!

"Uncle!" Oscar greeted with a cheerful tone. "Is there anything you need? It's been a long time!"

That man, Arthur Petterson is the older brother of Oscar's biological father. The siblings have similar facial lines. So similar that some find it hard to tell which one is Peter and which one is Arthur. They were both rich, and the only difference was that Arthur liked to spend the money inherited from their parents while Peter chose to save his inheritance.

Arthur was reading the daily newspaper when he heard Oscar's voice. He smiled broadly as he folded the newspaper and showed a row of golden teeth. The man who also had golden yellow hair stood up straight.

"Oscar Petterson, it's been a long time since we met," The man walked over to Oscar, "Hmm, why did you come here? It's been a long time since I haven't visited your favorite nephew."

"Actually, you can't come in here. Unless you're an employee of this company and work directly under my supervision, you must know that this isn't a place you can just easily enter. You should have known that, but why are you still sitting on the sofa in my room?" Oscar asked coldly. He no longer had the fake expression on his face.

Hearing the man's question actually forced a laugh out of Arthur's mouth. The man threw his head back, thinking Oscar's words were the funniest joke he'd ever heard.

"How about we have dinner out?" Arthur suggested after he stopped laughing.

"Of course!" Oscar replied quickly, "Uncle, you've just arrived in Indonesia but you've immediately come to visit me. It is only fitting for me to take my beloved uncle out to eat!"
