Chapter 5
I entered the living room as
soon as I got up and saw Joana talking to Carlos on the sofa . Upon detecting my entrance , the two tur
ned to look at me . _ Their
expressions revealed nothing out of the ordinary , as if they were just friends .
“ Honey , why did n’t you sleep more ? ” While asking worriedly , Carlos approached me . _ _
“ I can’t sleep anymore ” , I gave him a calm answer .
Then Joana said affectionately : “ I came to visit you after visiting Mr. _ Morais , because
I heard you did n’t sleep last night . Mrs. _ _ Morais went to fetch Bianca from Isabel , so I brought her t
oo . _ _ ”
“ Where is she ? ” After controlling my emotions , I asked calmly .
“ She is playing in her room ” , said Joana . Upon noticing that Bianca was present , I refrained from yel
ling at them . _ It didn’t take long for Carlos to serve us the meal and call
us to eat . Joana acted as if she were themistress of
the house as she led Bianca into the dining room across from me .
Suppressing the sinking feeling inside me , I followed them into the dining room . _ _ _ _ _ Both Joana
and Bianca were already seated when I
arrived , but I quickly realized when I saw the empty seats that Joana and I were sitting inboth
sides of Carlos . It was a detail I had never noticed before this .
Carlos gave me a bowl of soup before giving it to Joana , then Bianca , then himself . _ _ _ _ Joana too
k it naturally before smiling at him . _ _ “ Carlos , the chicken soup you made is so delicious ! _ _ ANDe
ven better than those made by hotel chefs ! _ _ _ ”
How dare you address him with such intimacy ! _ In order to quell my urge to throw soup in his faces , I
held my hand tightly .
When he realized that I was looking at
him with a strange look , Carlos asked : “ Linda , why don’t you try it ? I did to
you ”.
I
was stunned by what he said , as I never liked chicken soup , despite the fact that he constantly makes
them . However , I never told him this , as I thought it was commendable enough for him to cook for
me .

Meanwhile , I looked at Joana doubtfully before remembering that she was always there when he made
chicken soup , and liked the soup he made . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ My heart ached to realize I was an idiot for n

of me , not to mention that I always finished the soup he made because of my husband , who was chea
ting on me .

In an attempt to suppress my urge to just turn the table over , I clenched my
fist as I turned to look at Bianca at the table , then picked up a spoon to spoon some food into her bowl
. Joana followed suit by observing my _actions , only for Bianca to choose the food that Joana put on th
e table .
Upon noticing Bianca ‘s actions , Carlos seemed to sympathize more with Joana as he scolded Bianca
: “ Bianca , how dare you be so impolite with Ms. _ Ramos when she was trying to be nice to you ? ”
It sure looked like my presence meant nothing to him when he tried to
defend Joana and scold Bianca in front of me . I slammed my cutlery down on the table as my anger
rose , but Bianca blurted out before I could : ” She ‘s a nice person .bad , so I
don’t like her ! ” With an angry look , Bianca pointed to Joana . _
The look on Joana ‘s face changed as soon as Bianca said this , although I was surprised by this , as B
ianca never showed such hostility towards Joana despite not liking her very much , so I wondered what
was going on _ _ _with her .
Meanwhile , Carlos looked at me with an intimidated look , as if he had suddenly remembered somethi
ng . _ _ _ Out
of curiosity , I wanted to ask Bianca about what happened , only to have her speak one more time befor
e I could : “Miss Ramos tried to make me call her mother ! _ ” The expression on Joana’s and Carlos ‘ f
aces visibly changed as soon as she said it .
