So , it
was Carlos who entered . His expression became menacing when he saw the food and broken glass st
rewn across the floor , as
well as my pathetic condition , covered in food . “ Victoria , please clean the floor . _ _ honey , are youal
l dirty , so why do n’t we get changed ? ”
Joana also came , but she didn’t enter the room . Instead , she stood at the door and looked inside . _
_ It
was obvious that she was overjoyed to see me splattered with food and looking utterly miserable , as I
glimpsed an ounce of joy.shining in your eyes . In the next moment , however , intense concern was etc
hed on her face . Naturally , she was n’t worried about
me . Instead , she was worried about herself . _ _ She was a smart person , so sheI
knew that as she was the mistress , my mother-in-law would be even worse
off with her considering her treatment of me , her official daughter- in-
law , despite her dependence on me for her livelihood . From what I understand of
her , she must be thinking of a con –measure now .
My mother-
in- law ‘s behavior greatly infuriated Carlos , and he took me away after entering without saying a single
word to her . Now, my guess was that she must have been so pissed off inside that steam was coming
out of her ears .no matter how angry she was , she could n’t vent when no one cared about her .
When I left after changing , my father-in-law and sister -in-
law had returned from their walk . Before long , they learned of my mother – in –
law ‘ s refusal to eat and the fact that she had even turned over the food I brought her . my father in
lawsat in the living room and watched television in silence , making
it clear as day that he was on her side in not wanting her son to spend money on me . My sister-in-
law , however , pretentiously asked about my well – being before going to themy mother-in –
law ‘s room to calm her down . When she got
out , she went to Carlos . “ Carlos , why do n’t you go and apologize to mom ? She will surely relent if y Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
ou do . _
“ Apologize ? _ _ Husband , do n’t tell me you did something wrong and pissed Mom off ? I asked
in surprise . “ If so , hurry up and apologize to her ! _ _ ”
“ I did n’t do anything , so why should I apologize ? ” Carlos then irritated went to the office . My sister –
in -law could n’t help it when he refused to placate my mother-
in- law , so she hurried off to school afteranswer a call .
Meanwhile , I naturally had to do everything , so I went to my father – in –
law and said , ” Daddy , why do not you go and convince Mommy to eat something ? She will certainly
listen to you .
“ Just leave her alone ! _ _ “ My father-in-
law was a macho man , so how could he persuade my mother-in-
law ? I just encouraged him to do it for the sole reason of making him mad at her too . _
Joana watched all this from afar . After mulling this over for so long , she probably had a countermeasu
re in mind and pulled me into her room . _ _ _ _ _ “ Linda , is your mother-in –
law mad because of me ? ”
“ Why do you think that ? ” I deliberately asked in return .
“ I ‘ve been living in your house for so long , after all , so it ‘s no surprise that Mrs. Morales is displease
d .”
That bitch is truly cunning . Shaking my head , I faked a perplexed expression . “ My mother-in-
law is not such a mean person . She must have acted because she was feeling sick due to the headac
he . _ As you know , most _ _people get irritable when they
are sick . Stay here , Joan . Do n’t let your emotions take over you . ”
“ Really ? So why do n’t we take Ms. _ _ Morais to
the hospital ? How would she recover if she lay in bed all day ? _ _
