“ Oh , it ‘s for Mom later . _ ”
Upon hearing this , Carlos looked at me with pure appreciation . “ You are always so thoughtful “.
Joana ‘s expression became displeased when she saw him praising me . _ _ _ However , she could n’t
do anything , as she definitely would n’t be able to gain any favors from my mother-
in- law if she were to provoke her at this point . she mustbeing very familiar with my mother- in –
law ‘s temperament , so she is not as enthusiastic to follow as usual and ask for her well –
being to avoid trouble herself . Meanwhile , I was not ingratiating myself on merit . _ instead _Besides
that , I already found a way to teach you a lesson .
After dinner , my sister-in-law helped my father- in – law walk . Joana , on the
other hand , deliberately stayed in the kitchen to do the cleaning with Vitória , but it
was just a pretext , as she just stayed by the side talking while secretly keeping her eyes on him

lot to say to Carlos , huh ? Well I ‘m just not giving her the chance ! _
I didn’t take Bianca for an after – meal walk as usual , but I did
carry the dishes I took earlier to my mother-in –
law ‘s room . Since she had the covers over her head as she sulked in bed , I repressed my loathing .
_and walked over to her bed before coaxing softly , ” Mother , I brought you some food , so get up and
eat some . ” _ _ _
She had her
back to me and did n’t say anything . It was clear as day that her fury today is because of me and Joan

_ She ‘s still thinking I was the same idiot as before , so this time
I ‘m going to let her know the consequences of putting on such a despicable show !
While my eyes were filled with disdain , my voice remained soft and gentle . “ Victoria cooked many dis

saying all that .
Sure enough , right after I finished talking , she got even angrier as I could see her shaking with rage th

the fire . “ Mother ,you will only have energy after eating . _ After

too . ” AfterAfter saying that , I purposely reached out to pull back the covers from her . “ Mom ,
did you hear me ? ”
My mother-in- law was no doubt furious to hear me say that Carlos was buying me jewelry the next day , so she irrita

screamed and dropped the plate in my hand

exclamation I intentionally let out earlier , everything sounded like the earth shattered . _
If she had the slightest concern for me , she would
have gotten up to check what had happened when she heard my amplified exclamation , but
that ‘s not what she did . Instead , she instantly pulled the covers over her head without a hint . _of con

Vitória was the first to enter the racket . Upon seeing the broken glass on the floor , she immediately ex
