Chapter 35
“ Carlos ‘ mother is exactly the type of person who cannot hide her emotions . _ Even when she was in the ward earlier , she was lecturing Joana , so you can imagine how much worse it will be without me , the stranger ., there , ” I replied .
“ That bitch , Joana Ramos , looks all hurt . How disgusting ! After Isabel finished criticizing her , she suddenly exclaimed in surprise : “ This old witch is really ruthless ! _ _ ”
“ What happened ? _ ” I looked at her in bewilderment .
“ Surely , she ca n’t keep her emotions a secret . _ Linda , Carlos ‘ mother slapped Joana twice ! _ _ _ ”
“ What ? _ ” Shock washed over me . _ _ Did she really raise her hand against Joana who is pregnant ? Looks like that bitch is n’t all that precious in her eyes just because of the kid she ‘s carrying . However , I stayedeven more surprised by Joana ‘s tolerance . _ She is not the type of person who meekly submits or depends on others for survival . _ So why is she willing to endure such humiliation ? _ _ Is it because she loves Carlos so much , ordoes she have any
another reason ?
So I stayed in the hospital for three more days before I was discharged and went home . Certainly , Joana was another level , as she managed to restore the relationship with my mother-in-law and sister – in-law in those three days . Seeing them as thick as _ _thieves , I let out an inward sigh . It seems that my rival is not to be underestimated .
The day after I was discharged , Carlos came to take me to work in person . However , he did not go home with me right away , but drove to Cartier . An employee named Carvalho enthusiastically welcomed us in the Cartier VIP room , _ _taking several premium products to choose from . In the end , Carlos bought me a jade jewelry set – a necklace and two earrings – for over a million . _ _
This was the most valuable thing he ever gave me during our marriage . _ _ People often said that women had a thing for jewelry , but I felt particularly distressed looking at the jewelry set . _ _ _ _ _ If possible , I preferto be blissfully ignorant for the rest of my life and not get involved in all this intrigue . Of course , my most fervent wish is that I never met this person named Carlos Morais in the first place . If not for the express purpose of teasing those bitchesFrom home , I can say with certainty that I would never wear that jade necklace .
Carlos and I went straight home from Cartier , while my sister-in- law had taken Bianca to school . I thought I would soon see incredibly interesting expressions from everyone in the house , but unexpectedly , it turned out to be quite different from my expectations .
Upon seeing the new jade necklace around my neck , my mother-in-law and sister – in-law didn’t look the least bit upset . Instead , they praised the necklace . _ _ They were both people who wore their hearts on their sleeves , so their expressions made me extremelyperplexed . However , Joana had a totally different reaction . While she also complimented the necklace , I could sense that she was n’t really happy , but trying her best to suppress her emotions . Disappointment flooded me for not having seen the scene _that I had imagined .
