Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO's Plaything

That afternoon, Lisa immediately took a taxi to Rangga's house to meet Julian. Her hunch told her that Julian needed her while Rangga was out of town.

Arriving at Rangga's house, Lisa pressed the bell button. The house seemed very deserted and uninhabited. 

Lisa pressed the bell button again until finally a middle-aged woman came out and opened the door for her.

"Why are you here, Miss Lisa?" Mrs. Sumiyati asked with a confused face.

"Sorry, Mrs. Sumiyati, I didn't have time to give you news. How's Julian? He's fine, right? I'm here to meet Julian, I've missed him!" 

"Oh, I see. Julian is fine, Miss! Mr. Rangga also told you he had left for Yogyakarta, right? Julian was crying earlier when I told him where Mr. Rangga was going," the housekeeper explained in her distinctive soft voice.

"Yes, Rangga also asked me to take care of Julian while he was in Yogyakarta. Sorry, I've been bothering you by stopping by too often," Lisa said with reluctance.

"Don't be like that, Miss! I owe you a lot. I'm the household assistant but I still need help from others to look after Mr. Rangga's son. You know, I am from the village and I don't understand anything about the capital city. Sometimes it's even hard for me to understand even trivial things. I'm so sorry I was just an elementary school graduate."

Mrs. Sumiyati lowered her head several times while babbling at length about how much she felt she'd bothered Lisa to help her with taking care of Julian instead.

"Oh no no, please don't mention that! I sincerely help Rangga. I also consider Julian my own family!" Lisa answered, changing the conversation.

"Alright then, please come in. I want to prepare dinner first. Miss Lisa is coming to dinner too, right? "

Hearing the offer, Lisa nodded and then walked into the dining room. At the dinner table, she saw Julian, who was sitting cute playing with his tablet. Lisa immediately greeted the three year old toddler with a smile and a cheerful voice.

Julian replied with a sweet smile. The boy was very happy to see Lisa back at his house.

"See, Julian already loves you, Miss. Even though you're not his real mother, Julian is closer to you than I am. Try it, if Miss Lisa were to marry Mr. Rangga, it would definitely work better!" Mrs. Sumiyati suddenly said.

Hearing Mrs. Sumiyati's sentence, Lisa was shocked to the point of glaring. She almost spat out the water she just drank. She tried not to get embarrassed. 

'Don't take it seriously, Lis! Mrs. Sumiyati is just making small talk to keep things from turning awkward!'

"Excuse me, Miss Lisa, I want to feed Julian," the middle-aged woman brought a bowl filled with mashed rice and side dishes.

When Mrs. Sumiyati was about to feed Julian the spoon, the boy shook his head and then ran from the dining room.

"Oh, Julian. If it's with me, he's always like this!" Mrs. Sumiyati complained, stroking her chest.

Without saying much, Lisa pulled the bowl from Mrs. Sumiyati's grasp. The middle aged woman was startled by Lisa's sudden movement.

"Miss Lisa, what's wrong? Why do you seem angry?" Mrs. Sumiyati asked, confused half to death by Lisa's strange behavior.

It's undeniable that Lisa was actually offended by what Mrs. Sumiyati talked about her and Rangga. Lisa failed to hold back her emotions in front of Julian. She would regret it soon.

Lisa took a deep breath, calmed her mind then turned around and said, "Sorry, ma'am, but I am a little offended by what you said just now. Me and Rangga aren't even a thing, we are just close friends. The two of us have no special relationship except the relationship between childhood friends,"

Hearing that, Mrs. Sumiyati lowered her head and apologized. "I don't mean to make Miss Lisa hurt, sorry. It's just that I saw Ms. Lisa and Mr Rangga match perfectly. You two get along very well. Every time I saw Mr. Rangga met you, his eyes sparkled with joy. Mr. Rangga is also a good, handsome, and rich man. It's a shame that he's been single this whole time," 

Hearing Mrs. Sumiyati's naive explanation made Lisa's feeling cooler and calmer. She patted Mrs. Sumiyati's shoulder and said, "It's okay, ma'am, sorry I'm a little bit sensitive today."

After dinner, Lisa accompanied Julian to watch his favorite cartoon show on TV. She held Julian's chair while kissing his cute chubby cheek.

Suddenly, the 3 year old boy asked Lisa, "Aunt Ica, where is Papa?"

Lisa turned to look at Julian's cute face then smiled. "Papa is in Yogyakarta, dear, he has a job there. Don't be afraid, there's Aunt Lisa and Mrs. Sumiyati here,"

There was the sound of the doorbell after Lisa answered Julian's question. 

She called Mrs. Sumiyati to open the door but the middle-aged woman seemed to be busy in the bathroom.

Lisa had no other choice but to open the door while carrying Julian. She was so shocked when she saw a tall, slender man standing in front of Rangga's door.

"Oscar, what are you doing here!?" Lisa asked with a terrified face. She hugged Julian tightly so that the poor boy wouldn't cry anymore.

The last time the blonde haired man came to Rangga's house, his cold aura and cold gaze managed to terrify Julian.

"Julian, don't be afraid, Aunt Lisa is here," Lisa softly said in Julian's ear.

"It should be my line. Why are you at Rangga's house again?" Oscar suspiciously asked. His eyes suddenly looked sharp and terrifying.

The man stepped in and pushed Lisa almost to the ground. Julian was getting more and more scared to see the figure of the foreign man. 

"Answer my question first, Oscar! Don't divert my question!" Lisa snapped. Her maternal instincts started to come out.

"Rangga personally asked me to look after his son because he was out of town for a month. He had been looking for other people to help him but no one could. So I just accept it, I happen to be not doing too much work," Oscar explained firmly.

The man leaned over and looked closely at Lisa with his clear blue eyes.

"What are you doing here to help Rangga take care of Julian? You're not even good at taking care of Clara! Don't even think that you can take care of Julian then!" Lisa exclaimed irritably.

Hearing the two adults fighting, Julian suddenly burst into tears. Lisa started to panic, she patted Julian on the back trying to calm the toddler.

"Look what you did Oscar! You scared Julian!"

Not long after that, Mrs. Sumiyati rushed over to Lisa and Julian. She carried Julian while the child was crying and took him to his room.

"Lisa, come with me. I'll take you home! " Oscar firmly said.

"But who is going to look after Julian!?" Lisa replied, refusing Oscar's invitation.

"Rangga didn't ask you for help, so don't be stupid! Follow my words, I will take you home tonight!"

Lisa had no other choice but to obey. It was enough that she caused chaos at Rangga's house, she didn't want to prolong the matter. She then said goodbye to Julian and Mrs. Sumiyati.

"Mrs. Sumiyati," Lisa softly said, "Take good care of Julian...."
