'You really are so shameless! You think you can kiss me and now you're hanging out with other girls!? Oscar Petersson, do you think I'm a slut??!' Lisa grumbled in her heart.

All this time, she thought that Oscar's charm after having a child changed drastically. She thought that the man had turned into a father figure who only focused on work and his son. But apparently, Lisa just realized that all her expectations were totally wrong. 

Doesn't matter what identity Oscar carried at the time— regardless of whether he's a president of a large company or the wet dream of all women on earth, he's still a man. And Lisa pretty much has the same opinion of the opposite gender— They like to play with girls because they have money, and that they can't live alone. Every man Lisa knows needs a woman's caress.

Wait.

But why does Lisa have to be this angry when she sees Oscar talking to another woman!?

Sometimes Lisa couldn't understand why the hot feeling inside her chest whenever she saw Oscar talking to another woman wouldn't leave her alone. Even though she had been divorced for quite some time with Oscar, feelings of jealousy were still occasionally present in her body.

So what if Oscar was talking to another woman? 

Finally, after seeing Oscar having fun talking with the woman for a long time, Lisa just remembered that she no longer has anything to do with the man. Whether Oscar talks to the sexiest woman on earth, or even Barbara Palvin, it's none of her business anymore. 

After all, Lisa was in a serious relationship with Oscar once. From that short time, she knew that the man was not the one she deserved to be called 'Husband'. He was too arrogant and handsome to be her life partner in this world. Until then, Lisa and Oscar are not destined to have anything to do with each other. 

Lisa tightened her grip on her tote bag and swore in her heart. From now on, she would never fall for Oscar's sweet talk anymore! If the man was head over heels and seduced her with sweet words that her teeth hurt, Lisa wouldn't fall into the same hole. 

She saw Indri staggering while carrying a large shopping bag and wanted to open the door to the man's car. At first, Lisa saw Oscar chuckle a little but then the smile on his lips disappeared when he noticed his ex-wife presence.

For a few seconds, Oscar's face looked panicked and his eyes couldn't leave Lisa's face. But then the look on the man's face returned to the way it was and he immediately helped Indri open the door. 

Lisa was indeed annoyed that Oscar wasn't looking at her anymore, she even expected him to walk over to her. Then the woman turned around and walked away. Today, she's too tired to care about whatever business Oscar had with Indri. 

"Oscar? What did you see?" Seeing Oscar's hand shaking slightly and his laughter sounding fake made Indri ask while pretending to put on a sweet smile.

Oscar shook his head and smiled faintly, "It's nothing. Get in the car quickly."

Like an arrow, Lisa rushed out of the place. She tried to blend in with the crowd of people who had just come out of another office building. She better find a taxi soon.

Suddenly, Lisa wanted to pick up and meet William today. Indeed, she had said that she would pick up William on Saturday. But for some reason, she wanted to spend time with her son today. 

Finally, after sending a short message to Oscar and telling Vira she was going to invite William to stay at their apartment, Lisa went to pick up the boy at the daycare. Usually, the boy is left in a daycare near his school.

In the afternoon, when Lisa and William were relaxing in the apartment, Lisa's cell phone vibrated. When she turned on its screen, she read a short message sent by Vira.

Vira:

Sis Lisa, I have an office assignment today, so I have to go to Malang and stay there for 3 days. Enjoy your time with William at the apartment!! :)))))

Lisa:

Okay, be careful.

"Mommy I'm hungry..." William whispered when he was tired of playing with the dinosaur doll that the boy had brought from home.

Those words made Lisa get up from the sofa and start cooking in the kitchen. From the time she started cutting meat and vegetables, until adding seasonings to her cooking, the woman couldn't focus at all. Her thoughts went deep into this afternoon. This causes Lisa to sometimes forget whether she has added salt or other condiments to her cooking.

Not long after the cooking was finished, Lisa invited William to eat on the mini bar table. In front of him, she always tries to look fine. The woman opened various topics of conversation and invited the boy to joke.

Suddenly, when Lisa was fetching the boy some orange syrup, she heard her son's cry.

"Mama, why does Mama's food taste so salty..." William whined in the spoiled tone he usually used to win the hearts of his parents.

Suddenly, Lisa turned and saw William leak out the food in his mouth. The boy pursed his lips as he pushed the small plate away from him.

"Gosh," Lisa turned around and put the glass of orange syrup in front of William, "I'm sorry dear. Maybe I gave it too much salt."

William quickly took a sip of the orange syrup that Lisa had made earlier. The boy then lowered his glass and asked, "Mom, it's really not like your usual cooking...."

Lisa took a mouthful of her cooking and rushed to taste it. And just like what William said earlier, the taste of the food is so salty, even saltier than Vira's! 

"Ugh, I'm sorry dear, I have a lot of thoughts." Lisa said as she took the result of her cooking and brought it over to the sink. "Let's order food outside, shall we?"

"Mom, are you sad now?" William asked quietly.. His voice sounded so careful, as if he was afraid of hurting his mother's heart.
