Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 18

“ I have some cash on me .” Carlos took the money out of his wallet for me , which I

took without hesitation . When I was about to count them , he handed me a bank card and said , “ Hone

y , you should stop spending . _ _your own money on unnecessary things . You can ask me for money

, then you will keep your money to yourself ” . Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He looked so fair when he

said it , so I took his card , looking very grateful . “ Honey , you are the best ! ”

“ Honey , I know you ‘ve had to endure a

lot of hardship since you married me . My mother and sister are very greedy , so I know they were hard

on you . As he apologized , he held out his arm in

an attempt to hug me., while I repressed the urge to push him away . _ _

The door opened when we were holding

each other to reveal Joana , who was outside our room . When she saw me in Carlos ‘ arms before I m

anaged to get rid of him , the expression on her face was a sight to behold . “What ‘s the

problem , Joan ? ”

“ Mrs. _ Morais would like to know your opinion about the housekeeper . ”

“ We ‘ll be there soon . ” I left the room with my purse in hand next to Carlos . As

soon as I saw Vitória , I approached her with a smile on my face as I

counted the money I received from Carlos before handing it over to her .. “ Here are three thousand . Y

ou can use it for grocery shopping “ . _ _ _

My

em…”

mother-in-law didn’t seem to expect me to hand

over the money directly to Victoria . “I can keep Victoria company

However , I cut her off before she could finish her sentence . _ “ Mom , did n’t you tell me your lower bo

dy hurt ? _ _ It’s all because you worked so hard . We could only count on you when

we didn’t have Vitória as ourshousekeeper back then , but now that she ‘s here , you ‘ll

have more time to rest ”

In fact , my mother-in-

law was just faking her physical discomfort as she was using it as a bargaining chip to ask for more fro

m me , but she never expected me to

hold it against her . So she turned to look at Carlos in _ _seeking help , but he was on my side . “ She ‘

s right , Mom . You should take more time off by handing in certain tasks to the

Victory ” .

The sad look on my mother-in-

law ‘s face was everything to me . However , that was just the beginning of something even more dram

atic . _ As soon as Carlos said that , I said to Vitória : “ Both Carlos and I did

not believe in our mother whenwe hear from her that you are a complete housewife . However , we are

very pleased with what you made for breakfast . _ _ _ As you can see , we have a pregnant woman in

the house who requires special care , so we hope youcan take care of her ”

“ Of course , you can leave it to me ” , Victoria replied .

“ Then I will leave the house in your care . By

the way , I already spoke with Carlos about his salary . We ‘ll pay you at

the end of each month , and as long as you keep it up , I ‘ll also give you a bonus on

top of your twelve thousand salary .Aside from Bianca and me , the expression on everyone ‘s faces ch

anged as soon as I said that .

“ Twelve thousand ? Why all this ? Carlos asked in surprise .

“ It ‘s Vitória ‘s salary . ” I watched him with a smile . “ Did Mom not tell you last night ? _ Twelve thousa

nd is the monthly salary that she and Vitória agreed on .
