“ Joana went to visit her brother and Carlos is not at home either . _ It’s just the three of
us at home , so it’ll be very easy to handle . We can just cook something or just eat out , ” I replied .
“ Linda , you are very kind . ” Vitória was incredibly moved by my gesture . _ _
I opened the fridge and took out all the food . “ Take all of this home for your child . ”
“ I am already very grateful to you for giving me the day off . How could I take it all ? Victoria replied . _
“ Don’t act like a stranger with me . There are only a few of us at home , and food will spoil if it is kept in
the refrigerator for too long . You know I don’t like to eat food that ‘s been in storage for a
long time . ” Ignoring their protests ,I gave her all the food and she left gratefully , her
hands full of bags .
After she left , I threw all the leftovers from dinner into the trash can at once . _ Glancing at the empty r
efrigerator , I inwardly scoffed . An empty bag wo n’t stand up , so a missed meal will make her feel like
crap .. In the past , I always worried that my mother-
in- law would get hungry every time she threw a tantrum and refused to eat , so I kindly left some food i
n the fridge for her to eat in the middle of the night .teach a lesson !
So I deliberately stayed in the living room and watched television to keep her from leaving early to look
for food . _ After watching a few episodes of a TV show , it was past midnight and I finally went back to
my room . _while yawning .
Not long after I got back to my room , I heard movement outside . _ She must have gone
out in search of food . The sounds outside lasted only a brief second before ceasing . _ _ At
the thought of her being hungry and angry , I wasvery satisfied .
Suddenly , I
called Isabel and told her everything that had happened during the day , to which she scoffed , “ Linda ,
those two rat rats must have gone out to have fun , so you ca n’t just let them out so easily ” .
“ I have the same opinion , so I want to ask you to do a show with me . ”
“ No problem , ” Isabel said , agreeing at once , as she supported me unconditionally .
Early the next morning Isabel came at daybreak . _ _ _ Right after she said a
few words to me , my sister-in- law ‘s voice came up . “ Where is everyone ? ”
As expected , my mother – in – Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
law must have been starving after starving all day , so she called my sister – in –
law to buy her some food . And she must have told her everything that happened last night , _ _ _so sh
e is here to
create confusion . After exchanging a look with Isabel , I pulled the covers over me and lay down .
When my sister-in-law screamed several times in the living room to
no avail , she came and knocked on my bedroom door , slamming it hard . “ Carlos ! Charles !”
Isabel opened the door , her face grim . “ Why are you making so much noise so early in the
morning ? ”
My sister was visibly surprised to see her . “ Miss Lima ? What time did you arrive ?
Isabel stared
at her coldly . “ Why are you screaming like crazy first thing in the morning ? Don’t you know that the ot
hers are sleeping ?”
“I … ” Knowing she was losing to Isabel ‘s temper , my sister-in-
law changed her tune . “ Where is my brother ? ” She
‘s deliberately feigning ignorance , huh ? Isabel scoffed . “ A problem came
up at work , so her brother left yesterdayat night . Don’t tell me you do n’t know that ? ”
“ I was n’t home last night so I have no idea , ” explained my sister- in – law . “ Miss Lima , do you
know where the housekeeper is ? ”
