Chapter 693 - A Little Quarrel
Chapter 693 – A Little Quarrel
"Shut up!" Oscar replied without looking at Chloe.
Ever since Lisa had been kidnapped and drugged, Oscar could never calm down whenever Lisa didn't receive his phone calls. He was afraid that the terrible events of the past would happen again and that it would be too late for him to save her.
Now, it was the first time Chloe had seen Oscar's panicked attitude. Usually, even though the man had called more than 10 times and she didn't pick up, he would simply ask what she had been up to. That's it.
Hearing Oscar's cold tone made Chloe speechless.
Lisa immediately handed the plastic bowl and quickly opened her tote bag, taking out her cell phone. Like what Oscar said, her notifications were filled with missed calls from the man. There were more than 20 missed calls from Oscar.
"Geez, sorry, sorry," Lisa looked up. "My cell phone was in silent mode."
"Oh my God, Lisa! Why do you always put your phone in silent mode? Are you a highschooler or what? Every time I try to call you, and you never pick up, you always make excuses that your phone is on silent."
"What's your cell phone used for, hmm? Whenever I tried to contact you, you rarely responded." Oscar continued coldly with a furrowed brow. The feeling of panic that filled his chest made the man become emotional.
Lisa and Oscar were no stranger to bickering in the middle of the day. But they never fight in front of other people, let alone those closest to them. Usually, every time they fight or argue, they always do it in a closed place.
Now, listening to Oscar's scolds made Lisa feel embarrassed. He could be worried about her, but that didn't mean he could scold her in public!
Did Oscar forget that this is a public place and next to Lisa is Chloe, his own sister, listening to everything he said to her?
Lisa showed her cell phone's screen to Oscar's face and snapped, "Hey, I turned off my phone's ringtone because I had a meeting this morning! Do you think I'm a robot who can easily remember that I had to turn off the silent mode? I am just an ordinary human who easily forgets!"
"Besides, you're talking as if I'm the only one who never responded! You think you always pick up my phone? What did you do every time you had a meeting? You must've turned on silent mode too. Back when you didn't pick up my phone, did you ever see me getting angry at you? Never, right? You know, I just went to lunch with Chloe and not going with other guys. What the hell is wrong with you?"
Lisa turned her head and looked at Chloe "You also told Oscar that we had lunch together, right?"
Chloe nodded her head, not daring to say any words.
"Chloe just told you that I had lunch with her. Why do you have to panic that you're angry and scolding me like this? Crazy…"
The last word was deliberately said by Lisa in a low voice. Even though they were arguing, it didn't mean she wanted Oscar to get more emotional. It's just that the feelings of shame and emotion in her heart were so big that she rushed to say it.
Oscar's eyebrows shot up, "What did you—"
Feeling the atmosphere around her was uncomfortable and tense made Chloe choose to speak out. "What Lisa said is true. I already told you that I would eat with her today. You take it easy, as long as Lisa is with me, she will be fine."
"Do I trust you?" Oscar asked while looking at Chloe with a cold gaze, "Hah, I will never trust you to take care of Lisa."
Hearing that made Chloe roll her eyes. It seemed that the man had forgotten that she could defend herself and even took him down in a matter of seconds. The woman tightened her grip on Lisa's arm and threw a big, mocking smile at Oscar..
"Why do you have to be so angry? Who's bothering you that you're in a bad mood like this, hmm? Want me to come to that person for you?" Chloe teased trying to lighten the mood, "Or are you jealous that I didn't take you out for lunch? It's a pity."
"Your muscular arms can't even beat anyone who bothers you, huh? Oh my god, Oscar," Chloe suddenly laughed, "Don't act like a child! Lisa has grown up so she can go with other people, not just with you!"
"Don't be crazy possessive." Chloe continued fearlessly.
Now it was Oscar's turn to roll his eyes at Chloe's joke. Earlier when he arrived at the street food area that he had never visited, Oscar did not pay attention to his surroundings. He just parked his car carelessly near the entrance and rushed to find Lisa and Chloe.
Now, when he stood in front of Lisa and Chloe, he just noticed his surroundings. Various kinds of food stands selling greasy and unhealthy food filled his eyes. The smell of unhealthy food filled his chest cavity, making the man immediately look at Lisa.
Didn't they promise each other not to eat unhealthy food in order to maintain their health?
When he got Chloe's text saying she was going to have lunch with Lisa, the man thought they were going to eat at a five-star restaurant. His and Chloe's taste in food weren't too far apart, so it didn't bother him too much.
But as it turned out, the two women actually ate food on the side of the road!
Aside from not picking up his call, the woman ate unhealthy food. Oscar's patience was now being tested with the two women in front of him. Not to mention he heard the scornful words that came out of Chloe's lips.
Not long after Lisa managed to digest Chloe's question, the woman suddenly turned around quickly. She didn't expect that the woman beside her would dare to mock Oscar! She's the only one who often fought with the man and yet didn't have the courage to say such sensitive things.
Oscar averted his gaze and looked at Chloe while tilting his head. His sibling dared to utter harsh words that she should have known could hurt his feelings but still did?
If only Chloe knew what scared him like this.
"Whatever." Oscar replied indifferently.. The man turned and walked away, leaving Lisa and Chloe alone.
