“ What is it ? ”
“ I may have to work a lot of overtime as there is so much going on at the company . You ‘re going to have to take care of yourself a little . But do n’t worry about Joana . I told my mother to take care of her ” .
Oh , I saw what he wanted . _ The fact that she was busy was just an excuse for him to take care of Joana at night . I wanted to tear him to shreds , but I lied through my teeth : “ Work is important , so leave the family behind .with me . Victoria can take care of Joana , so she can call Mom back . At her age , she should n’t be working . “
Carlos was smiling , but a moment later , the smile was erased from his face . “ Mom is not that old yet . She can take quite a bit .”
“ That ‘s not the problem . Joana is my friend , so the mother does n’t have to work so hard for her . _ _ Also , suits to Victory . _ She is here to take care of Joana in the first place . Now that Joan iswith problems , it’s time for Vitória to work . ” As soon as I said that , Carlos ‘ smile hardened .
“ Victoria has to take care of the family , right ? You have to work and take care of Bianca . Dad still has n’t recovered and you do n’t like his cooking . Pamela is more work than it ‘s worth , so Vitória staying at home is the bestchoose .”
Well , well ! Look who ‘s all worried about me so he can meet his lover . _ _ No , I will not let that happen this time . “ I know you ‘re doing this for me , darling , but you ca n’t drag _your whole family for that . _ Joana is my friend , and I ‘m very grateful that you let her stay here , but I ca n’t bother you with that . Let’s try the following . Why do n’t you call mommy back _ _ _for her to take care of daddy , while Vitória and I take care of Joana ? ”
Carlos did n’t expect me to mention the fact that Joana was my friend and had no ties to them . Worried that I might notice their case if they were overly nice to her , he excused himself to go to the office with theexcuse to work .
I scoffed . As if he had work . The only job he has here is to find a way to distract me . Let ‘s see what he ‘ll do then . _ Medicines seem to be the only way here .
And I was right . About two hours later , Carlos returned with a glass of warm milk . _
“ I made you some milk , dear . _ _ _ Take it while it’s still hot . ”
The milk was warm , but everything around me seemed to freeze . Obviously , that was the trick he and that bitch came up with . This milk must be adulterated ! Is he doing this to me so he can take care of that bitch ?
As I stared at the glass of milk , anger bubbled up inside me . _ “ I do n’t feel so good today , so no ” .
“ I heated this up myself . At least have some for me . _ “ He tried to feed me .
I held back my disgust and pushed his hand away . “ Thanks , honey , but I ‘m feeling really bad today . I ‘ve been feeling queasy lately , and milk always does . _ ” I covered my mouth and threw up on purpose before going to the bathroom.
