Chapter 18


    “ I have some cash on me .” Carlos took the money out of his wallet for me , which I


    took without hesitation . When I was about to count them , he handed me a bank card and said , “ Hone


    y , you should stop spending . _ _your own money on unnecessary things . You can ask me for money


    , then you will keep your money to yourself ” .


    He looked so fair when he


    said it , so I took his card , looking very grateful . “ Honey , you are the best ! ”


    “ Honey , I know you ‘ve had to endure a

    m me , but she never expected me to


    hold it against her . So she turned to look at Carlos in _ _seeking help , but he was on my side . “ She ‘

    not believe in our mother whenwe hear from her that you are aplete housewife . However , we are


    very pleased with what you made for breakfast . _ _ _ As you can see , we have a pregnant woman in


    the house who requires special care , so we hope youcan take care of her ”


    “ Of course , you can leave it to me ” , Victoria replied .


    “ Then I will leave the house in your care . By


    the way , I already spoke with Carlos about his sry . We ‘ll pay you at


    the end of each month , and as long as you keep it up , I ‘ll also give you a bonus on
