Chapter 5
I entered the living room as soon as I got up and saw Joana talking to Carlos on the sofa . Upon detecting my entrance , the two turned to look at me . _ Their expressions revealed nothing out of the ordinary , as if they were just friends .
“ Honey , why did n’t you sleep more ? ” While asking worriedly , Carlos approached me . _ _
“ I can’t sleep anymore ” , I gave him a calm answer .
Then Joana said affectionately : “ I came to visit you after visiting Mr. _ Morais , because I heard you did n’t sleep last night . Mrs. _ _ Morais went to fetch Bianca from Isabel , so I brought her too . _ _ ”
“ Where is she ? ” After controlling my emotions , I asked calmly .
“ She is playing in her room ” , said Joana . Upon noticing that Bianca was present , I refrained from yelling at them . _ It didn’t take long for Carlos to serve us the meal and call us to eat . Joana acted as if she were themistress of the house as she led Bianca into the dining room across from me .
Suppressing the sinking feeling inside me , I followed them into the dining room . _ _ _ _ _ Both Joana and Bianca were already seated when I arrived , but I quickly realized when I saw the empty seats that Joana and I were sitting inboth sides of Carlos . It was a detail I had never noticed before this .
Carlos gave me a bowl of soup before giving it to Joana , then Bianca , then himself . _ _ _ _ Joana took it naturally before smiling at him . _ _ “ Carlos , the chicken soup you made is so delicious ! _ _ ANDeven better than those made by hotel chefs ! _ _ _ ”
How dare you address him with such intimacy ! _ In order to quell my urge to throw soup in his faces , I held my hand tightly .
When he realized that I was looking at him with a strange look , Carlos asked : “ Linda , why don’t you try it ? I did to
you ”.
I was stunned by what he said , as I never liked chicken soup , despite the fact that he constantly makes them . However , I never told him this , as I thought it was commendable enough for him to cook for me .
Meanwhile , I looked at Joana doubtfully before remembering that she was always there when he made chicken soup , and liked the soup he made . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ My heart ached to realize I was an idiot for not realizing _the signs that they were having an affair right in front of me , not to mention that I always finished the soup he made because of my husband , who was cheating on me .

In an attempt to suppress my urge to just turn the table over , I clenched my fist as I turned to look at Bianca at the table , then picked up a spoon to spoon some food into her bowl . Joana followed suit by observing my _actions , only for Bianca to choose the food that Joana put on the table .
