Chapter 38


    Isabel only spoke to


    me briefly before hanging up the phone . Initially , I was nning to drink the milk Carlos brought me , b


    ut his earlier reminder triggered my wave of rebellion , so I poured the milk down the sink instead of dri


    nking it .After discarding the milk , I slid into bed andy down . _ As Iy in bed ,


    I just could n’t sleep . During that time , Carlos entered once . _ Standing beside the bed , he stared at


    me for a while and thenreached out to touch my forehead , but I kept my eyes closed and pretended to


    sleep the whole time . In the end , he left with the empty ss that was used for milk now .


    After leaving , he didn’te back for a


    long time . For some inexplicable reason , he could n’t sleep welltely , and tonight was no exception


    . I had been lying in bed for a


    long time , but I did n’t feel sleepy at all . Otime passed slowly and the night gradually deepened . _ It’s

    quiet outside , so everyone in the house has probably gone to bed , but he has n’te back yet .


    Just when I was wondering why he had n’t gone back to sleep yet , the door opened and Carlos walked


    into the room while calling softly : ” Honey ” . _ Naturally , I ignored him and continued to pretend to


    sleep with my eyes closed .He then walked over to the side of


    the bed and nudged me . Upon receiving no response , he left again . This time , he did n’te


    back after leaving . It’s already 2:00 am , so why has n’t hee


    back yet ? Finding it extremely strangeI slid out of bed and carefully opened the door . _ _ Only the livin


    g roommp was on , so the house looked quite dark . _ _ I silently walked to the office , but it


    was very quiet there , not a sound to be heard .ear . After a moment ‘s hesitation , I gently pushed


    open the door . This is weird . There’s no sign of him inside . Where could he be at such an hour if


    not in the office ? Out of nowhere , a thought crossed my mind . Could it be ?


    I then crept furtively into Joana ‘s room and sure enough , flirtatiousughter came out of her  room . _


    quarto.


    “ How was it ? Was it good ? ”


    “ Of course . You know what ? _ I haven’t had this much fun in a long time .”


    “ You are a liar . I do n’t believe you would


    be able to stop yourself from taking liberties with a beauty as great as her .


    “ I ‘m not lying . I have no interest in


    her . Honestly speaking , while she ‘s beautiful , she ‘s like a dead fish . You , however , are totally diffe


    rent . _ You give me incredible pleasure with just your mouth , and I _I really love that little mouth of


    yours ! ”


    “ Humph ! You ‘re just showering me with sweet words . If you really have no interest in her , why did yo


    u buy her a Cartier ne , and such a gorgeous piece ? ”


    “ Do I have any choice but to


    go to Cartier ? You didn’t see how Isabel cornered me . Plus you ‘re wearing Cartier jewelry , so why ca


    n’t she ? _ _ _ ”


    “ I do n’t care . You said you have no interest in her , so you should n’tpare us . ”


    “ And whose fault is it ? _ Is n’t that all you ‘re doing ? _ If you had n’t worn that bracelet to show off , sh


    e wouldn’t have noticed . It


    did n’t cross her mind that she wished she had something from Cartier when shewas to see you with th


    at bracelet ?


    “


    I never thought she would notice , as she usually does n’t pay attention to such things . ” Carlos ‘ words


    left Joana a little displeased . _ “ Well , even if I am wrong here , you are not allowed to act like alovebi


    rd with her before me in the future . I was so angry today ! ”


    “ When did we act like lovebirds ? Carlos countered .  _
