Chapter 13
“ Joana , are you … ” While clenching my fist in an attempt to repress my anger , I asked in surprise .
Before Joana could speak , my mother-in- law intervened directly : “ Joana not only got sick , but she also lost weight after going through such a difficult phase . She ‘s her best friend , so we took her in because we didn’t want to leave her .alone and helpless ” .
For a split second , I was almost tempted to break the sack next to me over their heads . _ These two bastards not only
they lied to me , but they were also trying to move in with me , which was definitely crossing the line !
Meanwhile , Carlos looked at me nervously as he said , “ Honey , are you upset about this ? I could n’t do anything about it as it was my mother ‘s decision … ” _
That idiot tried to throw all the responsibility onto the mother without even mentioning Joana ‘s change . However , I stopped for a moment when I realized that it was strange that someone as petty as my mother – in – law would offer to help Joana , whichit would just mean that she already knew Joana had a grandson .
Oh . My . God . What the fuck did I do to deserve this ? However , I only managed to force a smile as I suppressed the anger that burned within me . “ I ‘m not upset about this , because Joana is my best friend _. It’s important to help a friend , so I would n’t object to that ” .
“ I know that my love is the best ! _ ” As soon as he heard me say that , that idiot was so happy that he even praised me .
“ Joana , you have to stay strong ! ” Despite the anger inside me , I walked over to her while training my expression into one of concern .
Her eyes turned red as tears rolled down her cheeks . _ “ Beautiful , why do I deserve such a miserable life ? ”
“ Joana , you’re pregnant , you should n’t feel sorry for that scum of society ! The fact that the asshole wo n’t marry you probably means he never loved you anyway , so if it were up to me , I ‘d say you should abort the baby .since _
he ‘s dead anyway , and get on with your life ! _ I don’t understand why you insist on carrying a baby for that scum ! ”
Not only did I refer to Carlos as scum , I said the same of his family , even going so far as to suggest to Joana that she abort the baby , which was totally unacceptable to my in-laws . My mother – in – law prevented me from entering thisline of thought : “ How dare you talk about these things when Joana is so distressed ! _ ”
Maybe that old bitch is afraid that I insist that Joana abort the baby , I conjectured while mentally mocking , but I made an innocent face as I asked : “ What ‘s the matter , mother ? It’s for her own good ! she is minefriend , then I wouldn’t put her in harm’s way , no matter what you think of her ! Who would want to marry her if she already had a child of her own ? Joana , you should abort the baby ! I will make time to accompany you to thehospital ! ” With great vigor , I offered to help . _
My mother -in-law exchanged a look with Carlos , during which Carlos stopped her from saying anything with a stern look . Meanwhile , Joana broke down in tears as she said , “ Linda , consider this me being a whore ! _ if you don’t want mehere , I ‘ m leaving immediately ! I wo n’t bother you anymore ! ”
“ I never realized how much of a person you are , Joana ! ” Not knowing if they could detect the contempt behind my words , I exclaimed aloud as Joana continued to act before turning to hug me while crying . _ _ _ _
“ Okay , don’t think too much about it . Just stay here in the meantime . Despite my indifference to her circumstances , I feigned concern as I patted her back comfortingly . _ _ Furthermore , I have come to a decision on how I should proceed. Since this girl next door decided to move in with me , I would take it as a sign from the gods that I should take the opportunity to f * ck her life . I would recover everything that the Morais took and stole from me !
“ Linda , you must be exhausted since you just got back from a business trip , so why do n’t you take a shower and get some rest ? ” Maybe the conscience existed somewhere inside him , because Carlos seemed to feel a little _ _embarrassed when realizing my sincerity towards Joana . _
After giving him a nod , I shifted my gaze to the messy living room floor , which I noticed as soon as I walked in looked the same compared to when I arrived last night . _ _ _ It would only mean that Morais and JoanaThey must have moved some time ago . On the other hand , Carlos ‘ parents were n’t at home when I showed up , so he and Joana must have taken the opportunity to enjoy themselves .
Upon noticing my long gaze on the living room floor , Carlos apologized : “ Linda , I ‘ll remind my parents to keep the house clean next time ” .
I replied with a happy smile : “ They are not getting any younger , so let them live as they wish . You don’t have to be so scrupulous around me .
