Chapter 24
Sure enough , my mother-in – law looked at Joana differently now , the look in her vicious eyes . However , this was not my only purpose on this day . Carlos never treated me so well the last few years we were married . Alreadythat he is so generous with his mistress , I have to take him to the cleaners . After saying that , I turned to Carlos and said in a half – joking tone : “ Husband , you are a miser compared to Joana ‘s boyfriend . _ In the endafter all , you never gave me anything in all these years .
That remark made Carlos force an incredibly awkward smile . “ Just tell me what you like and I ‘ll buy it for you “ .
“ Really ? ” I feigned a surprised expression . “ I like jades . _ Husband , just give me a jade jewelry set ! _ _ It is better if it is similar to my mother ‘s set .
Carlos ‘ expression hardened slightly . _ After being with me for five years , he naturally knew how expensive my mother ‘s jade jewelry set was . _ _ _ _ ” It will probably be very difficult to find the same set ” .
My mom ‘s jade jewelry set was really hard to find on the market , but I knew he was just making up an excuse to save face from the others here , as he definitely was n’t planning on buying it for me . _me . “ You certainly won’t be able to buy the exact same set , but there should be similar sets ” .
“I’ll keep an eye out , ” Carlos reluctantly promised at my insistence .
Seeing that he had agreed , Joana ‘s expression became totally irritated . _ _ _ _ She had been my friend for a few years , so she naturally learned the price of my mother ‘s jade jewelry set . The expression of Pamela and my mother-in-lawshe also felt resentful , as they were always the ones who asked for gifts in this family ; there was never a moment when I asked for a gift . It was obvious these bitches never expected their plan to backfire when their initial intention was to corner me . _.
Since they felt offended , I ‘ll just let them totally out of shape . _ So I looked sheepishly at Carlos . “ I knew
that you are the best , husband ! Tomorrow is Saturday , so why do n’t we go shopping ? ”
“ Of course , ” Carlos readily agreed .
Following his acquiescence , the harmonious atmosphere in the living room immediately disappeared . _ My mother-in – law was the worst person at repressing her emotions , so she angrily claimed that she had a headache and got up to go back to her room . Then, Pâmela also left after rolling her eyes at Joana , leaving me alone with the two naughty rats in the room . _ Probably having guessed that Joana was the instigator of the scene that day , Carlos made the excuse of having work to do andHe left for the office with a somber expression .
As the show was over , I naturally did n’t want to be there with that bitch Joana , so I made up an excuse to see Bianca and went to her room . So , everyone left the room , leaving Joana alone . When I closed the door, I glimpsed the expression on his face , and it was no longer his usual meek expression , but one tainted with a gleam of cruelty .
