Chapter 28


    “ I suggested it, but she refused to go . She insists she ‘ll


    be fine after she gets some rest . In the past , she also had headaches and was fine after resting for so


    me time without going  to the doctor ” .


    “ Oh , is it a


    chronic disease ?” Joana feigned an expression of sudden understanding . As she said those


    words , her cell phone rang and she answered it right in front of me . “ Are


    you sick ? What ‘s wrong ? _ Got it . I’ll be there right


    away! After hanging up the phone , she blurted out anxiously , “ Linda , my brother has n’t been feeling


    well these days and now he has a high fever . I have to go see him right away ” .


    Undeniably , her acting skills were excellent , her concern and anxiety for her brother was presented so


    realistically . _ _ If I didn’t know what kind of person she was, I definitely would


    have been mistaken . “ Oh , is he sick ? Nopanic , I ‘ll apany you to the hospital . _ I got up preten


    ding .


    “ No need , I ‘ll manage on my own ” , Joana instinctively said in refusal .


    “ But you are pregnant . I will worry if you go alone . I faked a worried expression .


    “ It’s all right , really! Your mother – in –w is still in bed , so you can not go


    out right now . I can manage on my own .”


    I hesitated for a moment before saying , “ I ‘ll still worry if you ‘re alone . Why do n’t I  ask Carlos to take


    her ? _


    “ No ! ” Joana refused outright . “ I’ll take a taxi ” .


    “ Be careful , then .” I kept the act and apanied her to the elevator . It was n’t until I saw her step


    into the elevator that I turned around and headed back home .


    However , not long after I


    said goodbye to her , Carlos left the office . “ Honey , something happened at work so I have to go and


    deal with it ” .  _


    Joana had just left and something came up at work ? _ _ Even a fool could tell something was wrong !


    _ Naturally , I did not expose it . “ Husband , what happened ? _ ”


    “ There


    is a problem with a project , so I have to go there and have a look . Maybe I wo n’te home tonight .

    _ And I’m not even sure I ‘ll make it to the house tomorrow …” Carlos watched my expression warily .


    “ Since it’s a matter of work , you should go and take care of it . ”


    “ Then I ‘m leaving , honey . Carlos then left with his briefcase , reluctance etched on his face .  _ _


    Seeing that he had left , my father-inw got


    up and went back to his room . Obviously I have no hope of getting a set of jewelry right now , so he pr


    obably went back to his room to tell his wife about it . I mockedinwardly . So I quickly walked into


    the kitchen and opened the fridge , only to see it was full of food . When Victoria saw me opening the


    fridge , she immediately came over to me . “ I just bought all of these . ”


    I closed the fridge door . “ Victoria , I’m sure you have n’t had time to go back and visit


    your son since you came to work here , have you ? ”


    “ No , but my son has his father and grandparents to take care of him , so


    I don’t have to worry about him ” , Victoria replied with a smile .


    “ While that may be true , you ca n’t just leave your child without going back to see him . If you do that ,


    you will be distant from him . What if … Tomorrow is Saturday , so we’re not going to


    work . I ‘ll give you the day off to _for you toe back and visit your son , as


    well as be reunited with your family .


    Victoria was extremely surprised , as she had n’t expected me to give her the day off . “ But who ‘s


    going to cook for everyone if I ‘m not here ? ”
