Chapter 20
Pamela always considered herself the favorite daughter of everyone in the house , so she perceived her mother ‘s cold treatment as disrespect . “ Joana can skip these two dishes if she ca n’t eat them ! Why would you forbid the housekeeper to prepare them ? _Is everything on the table prepared just for Joana ? ”
There was a hint of embarrassment on Joana ‘s face when she replied : “ Pâmela is right . There are so many people in the house , so we should n’t just prioritize my needs . “
My mother – in – law did not expect her own daughter to fight with her , so she glared at Pamela , which Pamela responded with a withering glare . Not only did Pamela express her anger using her glare , she even took a bite out of the fish .before praising : “ It tastes great , and even better than the ones prepared by chefs working in restaurants ! _ _ Vitória really knows how to cook ! ”
“ Really ? _ I ‘d like to try it too . ” I took a bite too before putting a piece in Carlos ‘ bowl . “ It’s quite tasty , so why do n’t you try it too ? ”
Both Carlos and even my taciturn father – in – law praised Victoria’s cooking after eating it , which made my mother -in – law even sulkier . Meanwhile , I wanted to spoil her appetite , so I asked , ” Mom , do you not want one ?little ? ” She shook her head in disgust , as I nudged her once more , despite the smile she was wearing , “ I remembered that my family used to hire a few maids , but none of them were as good a cook as Victoria . she cookedvery well , then it is worth paying her such a high salary . _ We certainly have to thank for finding her ! _ ”
On the other hand , Carlos did not seem to understand my true intentions in thanking his mother as well . “ Yes , you did a great job hiring Vitória ! _ ” My mother-in-law was extremely irritated by what happened , while I was in a good mood , so muchI ate more than usual . _
After dinner , I took Bianca for a walk under the building , only to bump into Daniel as we walked . My first reaction was to try to avoid him , but without success , as he approached us in large strides before starting _ _a conversation . “ Linda , did you come for a walk too ? ”
“ Yes . ” The smile I wore was stiff . _ Daniel was no idiot , so he must have known what was going on at my house when he showed up . That experience was totally humbling for me .
“ Hello , ” Bianca greeted Daniel adorably .
“ Hello.” Upon hearing her greet him , Daniel stroked her head . _ _ _ _ “ What is your name ? _ ”
“ My name is Bianca . ”
“ You are such a good child , Bianca . ” I was feeling a little awkward , but he still turned to me as he said , “Bianca is so beautiful . She looks like her father ” . _
Daniel didn’t know that Bianca was adopted , so his words pissed me off a bit . However , I put a smile on my face before replying , “ It ‘s lucky that she inherited her father ‘s good looks . ”
“ Really ? _ He chuckled , looking like he was about to continue the conversation , but I did n’t want to meet his eyes at all . Coincidentally , Isabel called at that moment , so I walked away from him to answer the call after smiling apologetically .for him .
