Chapter 20
Pamela always considered herself the favorite daughter of everyone
in the house , so she perceived her mother ‘s cold treatment as disrespect . “ Joana can skip these two
dishes if
she ca n’t eat them ! Why would you forbid the housekeeper to prepare them ? _Is everything on
the table prepared just for Joana ? ”
There was a hint of embarrassment on Joana ‘s face when she replied : “ Pâmela is right . There are so
many people in the house , so we should n’t just prioritize my needs . “
My mother – in –
law did not expect her own daughter to fight with her , so she glared at Pamela , which Pamela respon
ded with a withering glare . Not only did Pamela express her anger using her glare , she
even took a bite out of the fish
.before praising : “ It tastes great , and even better than the ones prepared by chefs working in restaura
nts ! _ _ Vitória really knows how to cook ! ” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“ Really ? _ I ‘d like to try
it too . ” I took a bite too before putting a piece in Carlos ‘ bowl . “ It’s quite tasty , so why do n’t you try
it too ? ”
Both Carlos and even my taciturn father – in –
law praised Victoria’s cooking after eating it , which made my mother -in –
law even sulkier . Meanwhile , I wanted to spoil her appetite , so I asked , ” Mom , do you not want one
?little ? ” She shook her head in disgust , as I nudged her once more , despite the smile she was
wearing , “ I remembered that my family used to hire a few maids , but none of
them were as good a cook as Victoria . she cookedvery well , then it is worth paying her such a high sal
ary . _ We certainly have to thank for finding her ! _ ”
On the other hand , Carlos did not seem to understand my true intentions in thanking his mother as
well . “ Yes , you did a great job hiring Vitória ! _ ” My mother-in-law
was extremely irritated by what happened , while I was in a good mood , so
muchI ate more than usual . _
After dinner , I took Bianca for a walk under the building , only to bump into Daniel as we walked . My fir
st reaction was to try to avoid him , but without success , as he approached us in large strides before st
arting _ _a conversation . “ Linda , did you come for a walk too ? ”
“ Yes . ” The smile I wore was stiff . _ Daniel was no idiot , so he must
have known what was going on at my house when he showed
up . That experience was totally humbling for me .
“ Hello , ” Bianca greeted Daniel adorably .
“ Hello.” Upon hearing her greet him , Daniel stroked her head . _ _ _ _ “ What is your name ? _ ”
“ My name is Bianca . ”
“ You are such
a good child , Bianca . ” I was feeling a little awkward , but he still turned to me as he said , “Bianca
is so beautiful . She looks like her father ” . _
Daniel didn’t know that Bianca was adopted , so his words pissed me
off a bit . However , I put a smile on my face before replying , “ It ‘s lucky that she inherited her father ‘s
good looks . ”
“ Really ? _ He chuckled , looking like he was about
to continue the conversation , but I did n’t want to meet his eyes at all . Coincidentally , Isabel called at
that moment , so I walked away from him to answer the call after smiling apologetically .for him .
Isabel told me why Carlos and Joana went to the luxury goods store that day . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ It turns
out that he was keeping Joana company when she went to get a made- to – measure bracelet that he had ordered for her atCartier . Despite my surprise , I was n’t angry . _ We
talked for a while and I didn’t hang up until I
saw Daniel leave . After spending some time with Bianca in the downstairs garden , I came up with a pl
an as we were heading home . At theHowever , I could hear my mother-in-law and Pamela fighting as
soon as I opened the door .
