Chapter 36
“ Really ? ” I asked in return .
“ Yes . Not only are you thinner , but your skin does n’t look good either . _ _ You are pale . ”
When Daniel ‘s words scared me , I unconsciously brought my hands to my face . _ “ I’m not feeling like I’ve lost weight .”
“ You really lost weight . If her parents saw her now , they would definitely be distressed . When I heard Daniel mention my parents , my heart abruptly skipped a beat . If they knew that this is the result of my insistence , they would probably be deeplydistressed .
Meanwhile , Daniel was carefully examining my expression . “ Linda , are you back to visit your parents yet ? ”
“ No. _ ” I threw him a bitter smile . I want to go back and visit them , but I know Dad ‘s temper . He is a person who never gives in , so it ‘ s easier said than done to get his forgiveness , since II hurt him deeply at that time . Besides , my life is a mess right now , so I ca n’t go back with my tail between my legs and
complain .
“ How come you didn’t come back to visit them ? That ‘s very cruel of you , ” Daniel scolded . “ No matter what happened back then , they are still your parents who gave birth to you and raised you . ”
“ It’s not that I ‘m cruel , but they ‘re not willing to forgive me . ”
“ That ‘s because they love you too much . Linda , parents always have their child ‘s best interest at heart . _ _ _ Now you have a daughter , and as the saying goes , you never know a parent ‘s love until you have one .your own son. If you think about it from another perspective , you can understand your parents . After all , no parent will ever hurt their own child . ”
Daniel ‘s words touched my heart and tears instantly came to my eyes . _ I never thought someone I ‘d disowned in the past would say such heartfelt words to me . My tears escaped uncontrollably , half sadness and half guilt . _
Seeing me cry , Daniel took out his handkerchief and handed it to me . “ Thank you , Daniel . ” However , I did not take the handkerchief , but wiped my eyes with my hand before leaving with Bianca .
To my surprise , I saw Carlos in the living room when we got home . “ Why did you come back so early today ? ”
“ I’m thirsty , so I went back for some water , ” I replied , covering up the truth . Not wanting him to notice my melancholy , I turned and headed for the kitchen . After pouring a glass of water , I sat down , but _Unexpectedly , my eyes met his again as I turned my head . For some reason , he seems to be looking at me strangely , but I just ca n’t put my finger on why .
After exchanging glances briefly , Carlos returned to the office . _ Since Joana arrived , he has been spending a lot more time at the office than usual . Suddenly , understanding dawned . _ _ He ‘s not really working at the office , butflirting with Joana via WhatsApp on her cell phone ! However , it did not bring me much sadness because Carlos ‘ love had changed , while I was the type of person who never gave in to love , so it was impossible for me to shed tears because ofa man who didn’t love me anymore .
