She must have been too bored to scroll through the phone and comment so quickly . I could imagine how livid she was looking at the photos . ‘ Yes , I replied .
A few minutes later , Carlos ‘ phone rang . This time , he did n’t end the call , but instead , he left . _ It didn’t take long for him to come back , but I could see the anger in his eyes despite the smile on his face .Obviously , Joana must have fought with him .
I scoffed softly . A double life ai n’t easy , huh , you scum ?
Thanks to Joana ‘s intervention , Carlos ‘ mood was damaged throughout dinner . _ _ _ He was silent on the way back and just growled whenever I tried to strike up a conversation . He was human , after all . His double success before that was notbecause he was smart , but because I trusted him enough for him to abuse it .
Now that I was pressing him from the shadows , it became a thorn in his side . Since he could n’t stop me from posting those pictures , he would have to try to calm Joana down now . Obviously he was trying to find a way todo this .
I knew that Joana must be in a panic right now , while Carlos was explaining himself to her . He had a sharp tongue , so if he went to the hospital , it would be easy for him to calm her down . So my job now was to keep an eye outon him and prevent him from going to the hospital .
It would be hard to keep an eye on someone who didn’t care about you . I was sure he would find an excuse to leave , but I had a way to counteract it – let him taste his own medicine . _ _ He drugged me before, was n’t it ? Two can play this game .
To keep him busy , I continued talking to him after returning home . _ _ It was the first time I had shown such intimacy for so long in our marriage . Bianca was intrigued and came to play . She asked Carlos to draw with her _and , a moment later , wanted him to throw some toy blocks . _
At the same time , I poured us three glasses of juice . I handed one to Bianca , one to him , and took one for myself . Carlos was thirsty after spending so much time with Bianca , so he drank the entire glass in one go . _. When the last drop of the enriched juice was gone , I thought to myself , Plan executed .
Carlos yawned a little later , and I said to Bianca , “ Honey , Dad worked hard all day , so can you play by yourself and let him get some rest ? _ ”
Bianca nodded . “ Okay , mommy .”
