Chapter 201
“The cook is excellent and the shrimps taste so good!” Rosales praised.
Breda corrected her, “It’s cooked by Mrs. Calsis.”
“Oh…well…” Rosales stammered, “Mrs. Calsis is really good at cooking.”
Mrs. Calsis had to gasp quietly. That was why she had never really accepted Jimmy Watson. The whole Watson family actually left her a very negative impression just after the first meal with them. Mrs. Calsis could have displayed her displeasure now, but for Rose’s sake.
When Rosales had almost filled herself with the meal, she began to look at Theresa critically. As it crossed Rosales’s mind that Jimmy told her Theresa was married to Rose’s uncle Charlie, she turned to Rose
elaborately, “How come I didn’t see your uncle, Rose? He wouldn’t join us for the supper?”
Rose looked around and didn’t find Charlie. She replied in bewilderment, “I’m not sure about that.” She then
turned to Theresa for the answer.
“He may be engaged in something now.” Theresa replied curtly, not willing to say too much in front of
Rosales. She actually was trying hard to ignore the presence of Rosales.
With an obvious sneer, Rosales mocked, “Are you really the wife of Charlie? You don’t seem to know what he’s
up to.”
Her mouth twitching, Theresa retorted, “It the matter between the couple of us. None of your business.” A bitch was, Theresa said to herself, someone who sought humiliation even when you had kept away from her. It surprised Rosales a lot that Theresa should have dared to rebut her bluntly in front a table of people. How deferential she used to be when she was Rosales’ daughter-in-law before! And now, Theresa had grown with
the guts to protest! Jeering at Theresa, Rosales decided to give her a lesson, “How dare you speak to your elder
so defiantly?”
