Chapter 117


    Or was


    it because Carlos made him another promise ? Was that why she was so rxed ? _ Tonight , I did


    not sleep well . When morning came , the nurse who was taking


    care of me came . I had just washed up when Carlos appeared .  _


    As soon as he walked in , he asked , “ Honey , how are you feeling today ? ”


    “ My stomach hurts a little . I asked the doctor , and the doctor said I didn’t need to worry too much . I ju


    st needed to rest . ” Now I could even keep a straight face when I lied .


    “ That ‘s good . You need to be very careful .” Carlos opened a thermos that he brought with


    him . “ This is a soup I cooked . _ Try it .”


    With a grateful expression , I


    finished the soup . Carlos then opened another bag and took out a box . _ “ Honey , this is the jade nec


    ce you wanted . _ _ I brought it to you ” .


    He opened the box and took out a jade ne . Although it


    looked identical , I could tell with a look that it


    was n’t the same one I had before . The texture and color , including the finish , were obviously much b


    etter .  _


    From what Henriques told mest night , I was n’t too surprised about the jewelry thing . _ _ Quite natur


    ally , I took the jade ne from him and put it on .


    When I didn’t seem to notice any difference with the ne , Carlos seemed to let


    out a sigh of relief . He chatted with me some more , then suddenly changed the subject to his mother .


    “ Honey , I ‘m thinking of getting Mom and Dad _move ” .  _


    “ Why should they move when they are perfectly fine there ? _ Was it because of what happened yeste


    rday ? Honey , I told you what happened yesterday was just an ident . _ _ _ Mom did n’t mean it . Y


    ou will break the hearther if you do that , and you will put me in a difficult position . ”


    “ It ‘s not entirely about what happened yesterday . You also know that my mother is not an easy perso


    n to get along


    with and is careless in her handling of things . I’m worried that it might affect your mood . Everything wa


    s fine before , whenyou were n’t pregnant , but now that you are , things have to change .”

    When he said that , he sounded so loud , like it was all for my good . _ If I didn’t know what kind of pers


    on he was . I definitely would have  been tricked , but now I knew everything .


    What I needed to do was inhibit anything Carlos wanted to do , so I quickly gave my answer . ” I don’t a


    gree with the change of mom and dad ” .

    “ Why ? _ Carlos looked at


    me in surprise . He knew very well what kind of people his parents were . He probably thought I would


    be ecstatic when I  mentioned it , but now that I was against it , he was surprised .


    “ Mom and Dad are old now . They need someone to take care of them . Have


    you ever thought about how they would feel if you changed them ? Also , I do n’t think Mom is


    a difficult person to get along with . Although she has her faults, she is not a bad person , plus she is so


    looking forward to grandchildren . When she finds


    out I ‘m pregnant , she ‘s sure to smother me with worry . There’s no way she wouldn’t treat me right . ”


    I said all this with great sincerity , but Carlos could n’t stay still any longer . For thest few years , I’ve


    given it my all with no regrets orints , but I’ve


    found your betrayal relentless . If he still had a trace of conscience in him ,he would feel ashamed .


    But his shamested only an instant . Her phone soon rang . He looked


    down at the phone and gave me a smile . “ It ‘s mypany secretary “ .  _


    What secretary ? It ‘s probably that bitch Joana . I knew very well who I was in my heart , but I


    left no trace on my face . Instead , I


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    tried to persuade Carlos to mind his business for him . “ Honey , go take care of yoursbusiness . You


    don’t have to worry about me . I have doctors and nurses here who will take care of me ” .


    “ I’m going back to thepany . Once everything is organized , I ‘ll be right back to take


    care of you . ” Carlos left with the cell phone .


    When the sounds of his footsteps faded into the distance , he fell into deep thought . He definitely


    would n’t be so eager to send his parents away because of me . What is he nning now ?  _
