Novel Bin Chapter 381 - Be Careful
Seeing Lisa daydreaming at the dining table, Mrs. Sumiyati slowly approached her and said, "Miss Lisa, aren\'t you waking up so early in the morning?"
"Yeah, I didn\'t sleep well last night," Lisa replied in a choked voice. She wanted to meet Rangga in the morning but failed. She couldn\'t see the man who always looked cheerful anywhere near that morning. Lisa was getting anxious about Rangga\'s whereabouts.
When breakfast is ready, Lisa eats Mrs. Sumiyati\'s food with ease and looks at her languidly. How could she not? Rangga always loved her and even sacrificed his time for her but the man suddenly became so cold as if he was deliberately avoiding her. Surprisingly, Lisa did not fight with Rangga at all, as they both had no miscommunication and that there was no reason to confront him though he seems to have been acting so cold and indifferent lately.
Lisa wanted to directly ask him to set things straight, but she didn\'t have the heart to ask her new boyfriend. She didn\'t want to make a mistake that would risk breaking her relationship with Rangga.
The day passed, Lisa was seen lying relaxed on the living room sofa while reading a book. She was getting tired of waiting for Rangga.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of the front door opening. When Lisa looked at the figure entering, she immediately gasped from her boredom. Her heart instantly felt overjoyed once she met Rangga.
Lisa put down her book and approached Rangga with accelerated steps and said, "Rangga! You finally came back!"
Rangga was wearing a gray suit with a black tie. The man did not appear as relaxed as usual. From the way he dressed up, Lisa could tell that this man was extraordinarily busy at the office. Maybe his office is having an important guest from abroad, she thought.
"Hehe, my insurance company is in chaos, fortunately it\'s back to normal again," Rangga said, blushing as he looked at Lisa\'s beautiful face.
Hearing the man\'s crisp voice and cheerful laughter warm her heart, as if she was showered with thousands of rose petals.
But the man did not seem enthusiastic when he met Lisa. It was strange indeed, they hadn\'t had the chance to talk or even meet each other even though they lived under the same roof.
Rangga then sat on the sofa, followed by Lisa next to him. The man called Mrs. Sumiyati to prepare grape juice for both of them. His face looked cute though he seemed exhausted from lack of sleep.
The atmosphere that enveloped the living room suddenly turned awkward and a little colder than usual. Neither Rangga nor Lisa exchanged words. The two of them were both busy with their grape juice while staring blankly straight ahead.
A few moments later, Mrs. Sumiyati came and called the two silent lovebirds. "Dinner is ready!"
"Oh okay, let\'s eat then." Rangga immediately got up from the sofa and walked into the dining room without turning to Lisa, as if he had deliberately ignored the woman.
In the dining room, the atmosphere that enveloped the two lovebirds was no less awkward and stiffer than before. There were no conversations between them, not even laughter. They were busy with their own food.
After dinner, Rangga went upstairs and without realizing it, Lisa followed him upstairs and said, "Don\'t you have to go back to the office again?"
"My work is done, so I came back here to accompany you," Rangga answered while scratching his nape.
Lisa raised her eyebrows in return. The woman turned around and entered her room. "Okay, wait outside, I want to take a shower first."
"Need me to help you?" Rangga tapped Lisa\'s shoulder then turned her body so that their faces met each other. He was very worried if he let Lisa take a bath alone in this late pregnancy. What if she slipped and injured herself?
Hearing this, Lisa\'s face immediately flushed like a boiled crab and then looked away from Rangga. "Eh, you don\'t have to. I can do it alone."
Even though she lives with Rangga now, Lisa is still not ready to show her naked body in front of him. Moreover, she is pregnant. Being alone with a man who has just become her lover makes Lisa anxious and nervous.
"Alright, I\'ll just wait at the door. Whenever you need help, just tell me, okay?" Rangga said anxiously.
Half an hour passed, meanwhile in the bathroom, Lisa put on her towel robe tightly and then stepped her feet out of the damp, flower-scented room. However, since she was careless, Lisa slipped in front of the door causing her body to lose balance and almost fell.
With lightning speed, Rangga immediately stepped into the room, stretched out his long arms and caught her.
Lisa\'s heart was beating so fast, she almost hurt herself in the bathroom! If Rangga weren\'t there, maybe she would have been rushed to the emergency room.
Lisa paused for a moment trying to calm down before finally she got up from Rangga\'s grasp and said, "Shit! Thanks, I almost fell down earlier..."
"That\'s why you gotta watch out when you are walking. Tomorrow, I\'ll ask Mrs. Sumiyati to put on a non-slip rubber carpet for you," said Rangga.
"Yeah, I will be more careful in the future," Lisa replied, still shocked by the incident just now. She stroked her chest then took a deep breath.
After calming down, Lisa walked over to grab a towel in the cupboard. When she stretched her hands upwards, without realizing it, the robe she was wearing immediately fell off her body!
Without a strand of cloth, her body was entirely exposed. Her skin was so beautiful and smooth, and the sight fell into Rangga\'s eyes, making the man stunned by her never seen beauty. Even though she is pregnant, Lisa still looks slim.
The man still couldn\'t believe what he was witnessing before his eyes. There was a kind of electric current that stung him when he saw Lisa\'s natural beauty.
Suddenly, Rangga remembered the words of the mysterious man who had come to him before. Without realizing it, his eyes scanned Lisa\'s whole body and found the part that the man mentioned. There were scars just like the mysterious man said.
Rangga was frozen in place when he found a scar on Lisa\'s inner thigh. It was as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water filled with icicles.
Everyone must have had a dark past, and Rangga thought he could accept Lisa as she is, but the mysterious man\'s words were still ringing in his mind, haunting him, and making him even more anxious.
Meanwhile, Lisa suddenly panicked and grabbed her bathrobe and put it on again. She pushed Rangga out of her room and closed the door. Her face immediately turned bright red, embarrassed.
She did not expect Rangga to see her naked body earlier. Lisa had promised herself not to cross the line before she married him. At most, only a kiss, but not completely naked in front of Rangga like this! Lisa felt very embarrassed.
She crumpled for a long time until finally she was calm and stable again.
When she left her room, Rangga was already sitting on the sofa with his cell phone attached to his ear. The man seemed busy discussing work, making Lisa even more reluctant to approach him.
The woman returned to her bedroom again, laying down on her body while staring at the ceiling with a blank stare.
A few minutes later, Rangga hurried upstairs to Lisa\'s room. He knocked on the door and walked in. "Lisa, I have a sudden business at the office. I need to go back there, so don\'t wait for me. You just rest a lot."
Lisa nodded, she didn\'t dare look at the man\'s face because she was still embarrassed by what happened in the bathroom. "Take care on your way and good luck with your work."
The man then grabbed his coat and briefcase before darting back to the office, leaving Lisa alone at home on a lonely and cold night. That night, Lisa couldn\'t sleep peacefully. She was so careless earlier and the embarrassing scene that happened before kept coming back to her mind, making it difficult for her to shut her eyes.
\'Damn it!\' Lisa thought.
