Chapter 29


    “ Joana went to visit her brother and Carlos is not at home either . _ It’s just the three of


    us at home , so it’ll be very easy to handle . We can just cook something or just eat out , ” I  replied .

    “ Linda , you are very kind . ” Vitória was incredibly moved by my gesture .  _ _


    I opened the fridge and took out all the food . “ Take all of this home for your child . ”


    “ I am already very grateful to you for giving me the day off . How could I take it all ? Victoria replied .  _


    “ Don’t act like a stranger with me . There are only a few of us at home , and food will spoil if it is kept in


    the refrigerator for too long . You know I don’t like to eat food that ‘s been in storage for a


    long time . ” Ignoring their protests ,I gave her all the food and she left gratefully , her


    hands full of bags .


    After she left , I threw all the leftovers from dinner into the trash can at once . _ ncing at the empty r


    efrigerator , I inwardly scoffed . An empty bag wo n’t stand up , so a missed meal will make her feel like


    crap .. In the past , I always worried that my mother-


    in-w would get hungry every time she threw a tantrum and refused to eat , so I kindly left some food i


    n the fridge for her to eat in the middle of the night .teach a lesson !


    So I deliberately stayed in the living room and watched television to keep her from leaving early to look


    for food . _ After watching a few episodes of a TV show , it was past midnight and I finally went back to


    my room . _while yawning .


    Not long after I got back to my room , I heard movement outside . _ She must have gone


    out in search of food . The sounds outsidested only a brief second before ceasing . _ _ At


    the thought of her being hungry and angry , I wasvery satisfied .


    Suddenly , I


    called Isabel and told her everything that had happened during the day , to which she scoffed , “ Linda ,


    those two rat rats must have gone out to have fun , so you ca n’t just let them out so easily ” .


    “ I have the same opinion , so I want to ask you to do a show with me . ”


    “ No problem , ” Isabel said , agreeing at once , as she supported me unconditionally .


    Early the next morning Isabel came at daybreak . _ _ _ Right after she said a


    few words to me , my sister-in-w ‘s voice came up . “ Where is everyone ? ”


    As expected , my mother – in –


    w must have been starving after starving all day , so she called my sister – in –


    w to buy her some food . And she must have told her everything that happenedst night , _ _ _so sh


    e is here to


    create confusion . After exchanging a look with Isabel , I pulled the covers over me andy down .


    When my sister-inw screamed several times in the living room to


    no avail , she came and knocked on my bedroom door , mming it hard . “ Carlos ! Charles !”


    Isabel opened the door , her face grim . “ Why are you making so much noise so early in the


    morning ? ”


    My sister was visibly surprised to see her . “ Miss Lima ? What time did you arrive ?


    Isabel stared


    at her coldly . “ Why are you screaming like crazy first thing in the morning ? Don’t you know that the ot


    hers are sleeping ?”


    “I … ” Knowing she was losing to Isabel ‘s temper , my sister-in-


    ‘s deliberately feigning ignorance , huh ? Isabel scoffed . “ A problem came


    up at work , so her brother left yesterdayat night . Don’t tell me you do n’t know that ? ”


    “ I was n’t homest night so I have no idea , ” exined my sister- in –w . “ Miss Lima , do you


    know where the housekeeper is ? ”
