Chapter 664 - Call Me Beautiful Girl!
Even though Lisa is still very shy, she still plans to have a good relationship with Chloe. Because like it or not, that woman was Oscar's sister, which meant that she would be her sister-in-law.
The distance from Hotel Alpaca to the place where Chloe reserved took about 20 minutes. Since it was lunch time, Oscar's white car only arrived in front of the restaurant about 35 minutes later.
Lisa and Oscar both took off their seat belts and got out of the car. Oscar waited until Lisa stood beside him and hooked her arm around his, then the two of them walked into the restaurant Chloe had booked.
Not long after the two of them stepped into the Chinese restaurant, the man wearing a white top and black trousers gave them a big smile. He then led Lisa and Oscar to the table.
"Mrs Chloe and William have been waiting for you for a long time." The man said casually.
"How do you know they're waiting for us?" Oscar asked curiously.
The man turned his head for a moment and replied, "Ah, the boy couldn't stop saying how much he misses his parents."
Initially, William was busy playing online games on his cellphone. His aunt had been unable to stop receiving incoming calls from anyone, but he was sure that the woman was discussing work. When William wanted to call his mother, he heard a very familiar laugh.
The boy looked up and saw his father and mother walking towards their table hand in hand. Suddenly, he hid his cell phone in his aunt's bag and rushed down from the chair to come over to them.
'Looks like Mama has managed to get Papa's forgiveness!' He thought, face filled with enthusiasm.
But it's only natural that they're good. As William recalled, his father and mother could not fight for more than two days. He didn't know what they're doing but whenever Oscar and Lisa got better, they would stick with each other like a glue.
"Papa, Mama, you've finally arrived!"
Hearing William's voice made Lisa turn her attention away from the man standing next to her. The woman's eyes lit up, as if looking at food, and bent down to kiss the little man's forehead.
"Hello dear...."
Even though William had a pitiful expression on his face, Oscar still didn't care about the boy. Instead, he gave William a look that seemed to tell the boy to sit down and leave them alone.
"What the hell, Papa!" William grumbled softly. But the boy still obeyed his father's order and sat back in his chair.
Oscar took the chair across from William for Lisa and sat down next to her. Since then, he has been trying his best to lighten Lisa's mood. He knew very well that the woman was thinking and was so nervous that she wanted to run away from this restaurant.
And Oscar understood why Lisa felt embarrassed and would rather go home than eat here. First, she humiliated herself by accusing Chloe carelessly. And secondly, who wouldn't feel nervous if they had to have dinner with their lover's family?
Lisa felt her heart beat so fast that her ribs were shaking. Luckily, the dining table was high enough so that no one could see her hands squeezing the ends of the cushions of the dining chairs.
"Chloe, thanks for taking care of William yesterday." Lisa said, opening their conversation. "How is William? Is he cranky and difficult to manage?"
"Duh, why do you have to thank me?" Chloe asked lightly, "We're family. So naturally, we should help each other in times of trouble."
Since Lisa and Oscar arrived later than Chloe's appointed hour, the woman had already ordered some snacks for herself and William. Some boiled dumplings and fried shrimp adorned a small plate in the middle of the dining table.
The reason Chloe ordered it was because she had heard William's tiny belly make a vicious sound. But even so, the boy wouldn't eat if his parents hadn't come.
"Ah," Chloe continued without giving Lisa a chance to reply, "Don't call me by my name, please. Call your favorite sister, or the most beautiful girl, it's up to you! Anyway, don't call my name! There's nothing cute about it!"
Lisa, who was not used to calling people by other names other than theirs, was shocked to hear Chloe's innocent request. She was silent for a few seconds then nodded her head.
"Okay." Lisa's reply was short.
Just as she finished saying that, the waiter came over with a menu book. Chloe handed two menu books in front of Oscar and then started to read the one she took.
Since William was less than 5 years old, the boy was still not very good at reading by himself. Finally, Chloe brought her chair closer to the boy and started reading the foods on the menu one by one.
Table number 25 at the far end of the room was filled with laughter and spoons hitting the bottom of their plates. Over time, the atmosphere did not feel awkward and stiff. The air around them actually felt warm, just like the steam from boiled food in the middle of the table.
At first, Lisa really thought that the atmosphere at the dining table would be awkward and filled with silence. But apparently, she and Chloe started talking and over time, they became close like old friends who had not seen each other for 5 years.
They were so excited to talk that Oscar and William didn't even notice. Sometimes, when the topic of their conversation is ridiculous, the two women laugh so hard that it makes the other visitors turn around and give them a scathing glare.
It's no secret that women are the best gossipers. Same thing with Chloe. From the first time she met Lisa, she wanted to ask why she wanted to be with her brother even though Lisa already knew Oscar's bad attitude. And so on.
Chloe was able to contain her curiosity in the first few minutes. She could go with the flow of their conversation and keep cracking jokes. But over time, she couldn't wait to gossip with her sibling's lover!
"So, Lisa," Chloe began with a seductive smile, "Where did you first meet Oscar?"
