Chapter 25


    “ Mom , that bracelet is not that expensive ” , defended Carlos .  _


    “


    Is n’t it so expensive ? Are you thinking I ‘m silly ? Even though I don’t know exactly about the brand , L


    inda said it costs a few million . How do you exin it ? ”


    “ Mom , do you trust your child or someone outside ? _ _ If you trust your child , do n’t mention it anymo


    re . I know what I ‘m doing and it’s definitely not a mistake on my part . ”


    This is interesting . Is Carlos insinuating something ? _ I slowed down and continued listening intently .


    _


    “ Hm , I think a motheres second to a wife . _ _ _ Now you ‘re grown up , so I


    guess you do n’t have your mother in your heart anymore , right ? You only see women now . It


    was evident that my mother-inw wasusing the subject to create confusion .


    “ How can you say that ? Have n’t I done enough for you over the years ? _ ”


    “ For us ? You ‘re just making excuses for yourself . _ People like you aremon on television , willin

    Hah , she nailed it !  _


    “ Take Linda Morais , for example . Does she have


    no money ? Why did she coerce you to buy the jewelry for her ? I threw you a


    few looks , but you firmly pretended you did n’t notice and nodded . It was totally irritating ! “ ….


    “ Mom , Linda is my wife . It is natural for a husband to buy gifts for his wife . ”


    “ I am your mother , but you never bought me anything .”


    With that ,


    I deliberately made noise , making my footsteps audible . Suddenly , the conversation in the room abru

    Seeing me , Carlos gave me an exasperated smile , and then I


    walked over to the bed . “ Mom , dinner is ready . _ Come have dinner with us ” .


    My mother-


    in-w ignored me , so Carlos responded on her behalf , saying : “ Mom says she has no appetite beca


    use she has a headache ” .


    “ A headache ? _ _ Is she cold ? Should I get some medicine for her ? I asked gently .


    “ Mom said you do n’t need medicine . She ‘ll be fine after she gets some rest .


    “ This is inadvisable . What if it gets worse ? Anyway , I’m going to get some medicine for her .


    As soon as my words reached her ears , my mother- in -


    ave side effects ? I said let me get some rest ! _ you are tryingmake me burst a blood vessel ? I


    looked at Carlos with  hurt , to see that his face darkened , and he dragged me out .


    Considering her piercing voice , everyone naturally listened to


    her . Victoria wore a worried expression as she saw Carlos pulling me out , while my sister-in –


    w looked quite pleased . “ Why , Mama still refuses to get up and


    eat ? ”


    Since Carlos didn’t say anything , I


    replied : “ Yes . She said she has a headache and wants to get some rest . _ I then said that I  will get h

    “ It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to
