“ Mom , that bracelet is not that expensive ” , defended Carlos . _
“
Is n’t it so expensive ? Are you thinking I ‘m silly ? Even though I don’t know exactly about the brand , L
inda said it costs a few million . How do you explain it ? ”
“ Mom , do you trust your child or someone outside ? _ _ If you trust your child , do n’t mention it anymo
re . I know what I ‘m doing and it’s definitely not a mistake on my part . ”
This is interesting . Is Carlos insinuating something ? _ I slowed down and continued listening intently .
_
“ Hm , I think a mother comes second to a wife . _ _ _ Now you ‘re grown up , so I
guess you do n’t have your mother in your heart anymore , right ? You only see women now . It
was evident that my mother-in-law wasusing the subject to create confusion .
“ How can you say that ? Have n’t I done enough for you over the years ? _ ”
“ For us ? You ‘re just making excuses for yourself . _ People like you are common on television , willin
g to do anything to satisfy a woman ‘s whims . _ _ ”
Hah , she nailed it ! _
“ Take Linda Morais , for example . Does she have
no money ? Why did she coerce you to buy the jewelry for her ? I threw you a
few looks , but you firmly pretended you did n’t notice and nodded . It was totally irritating ! “ ….
“ Mom , Linda is my wife . It is natural for a husband to buy gifts for his wife . ”
“ I am your mother , but you never bought me anything .”
With that ,
I deliberately made noise , making my footsteps audible . Suddenly , the conversation in the room abru
ptly ceased . When I pushed open the door , I was greeted by the sight of my mother-in-
law lying in bed with the covers over her head while Carlos wasstanding beside the bed , appeasing he
r . _ _ _
Seeing me , Carlos gave me an exasperated smile , and then I
walked over to the bed . “ Mom , dinner is ready . _ Come have dinner with us ” .
My mother-
in- law ignored me , so Carlos responded on her behalf , saying : “ Mom says she has no appetite beca
use she has a headache ” .
“ A headache ? _ _ Is she cold ? Should I get some medicine for her ? I asked gently .
“ Mom said you do n’t need medicine . She ‘ll be fine after she gets some rest .
“ This is inadvisable . What if it gets worse ? Anyway , I’m going to get some medicine for her .
As soon as my words reached her ears , my mother- in -
law turned the covers and screamed at me fiercely : “ Medicine ? Don’t you know that all these drugs h
ave side effects ? I said let me get some rest ! _ you are tryingmake me burst a blood vessel ? I
looked at Carlos with hurt , to see that his face darkened , and he dragged me out .
Considering her piercing voice , everyone naturally listened to
her . Victoria wore a worried expression as she saw Carlos pulling me out , while my sister-in –
law looked quite pleased . “ Why , Mama still refuses to get up and
eat ? ”
Since Carlos didn’t say anything , I
replied : “ Yes . She said she has a headache and wants to get some rest . _ I then said that I will get h
er some medicine , but she was furious “ .
“ It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to
eat . She will not starve from missing a single meal . _ Since she does n’t want to eat , we ‘re going
to eat ! my father -in-law declared .
At his word , everyone sat down and began to eat . Now it’s time for me to
act . Then I took a little from each dish on the table and put it on a plate . When my sister – in –
law noticed that I was doing this , she could not resist andasked , “ What are you doing , Linda ? _ ” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
