Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 12

The look Carlos had on his face was the

brooding one that felt so real . “ Do you remember the countless calls I gave you when you went to the

station ? I wanted to tell you about the news , but you didn’t pick

up , so I thoughtshould . stop as he did not want to affect his work . He let out a sigh as he

acted like he was being considerate .

If I did n’t know better , I would have been blindsided by the news , but all I felt was a sense of irony tha

t he was in fact her boyfriend . _ _ _ _ However , I still had to pretend , as well _I was curious to know

what tricks he had up his sleeve , feigning surprise as he asked , “ What happened ? ”

“ Joana is certainly a poor woman . _ She is pregnant , out of wedlock without being

able to obtain a marriage certificate . Now that her boyfriend had passed

away due to an accident , her parents decided to take back the house where she lived , claimingthat sh

e belonged to their son , therefore , had nothing to do with Joan . They then expelled her and even tried

to force her to abort her child , as they wanted to prevent her child from receiving an inheritance from

them .

“ How can they be so shameless ? _ Joana is definitely blind , but that man was also an idiot for treatin Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

g her like a whore ! _ _ _ _ Both her boyfriend and his parents were scoundrels ! _ _ I scolded out loud

, _though it was for Carlos and his parents .

No

one would feel good about being humiliated in front of another person , which is why Carlos looked a litt

le embarrassed before trying to apologize : “ That man would have potentially treated Joana well , or el

se Joana would not have gotten pregnant out of the blue .marriage for his sake ” .

“ Why would you defend an idiot like him ? ” There was a sneer on my face . “

I do n’t understand what Joana saw in him ! Did she not have enough money to spend

or survive ? Why would she volunteer for such an idiot !

Carlos did his best to control his expression as he listened

to my insults , which was extremely gratifying . However , my in-laws couldn’t take it anymore as

they finally decided to come out of their rooms .

“ Mom , Dad , Pamela , I’m home . ” My excited expression when insulting Joana ‘s boyfriend turned int

o joy as soon as I saw them . _ _

“ Linda , you ‘re finally back ! ” As she stepped forward , smiling , my mother-in –

law took the gift I had bought from her . “ Let me see . _ What did you buy for us ? ”

“ Mom , this is for Bianca . _ ” Carlos prevented her from touching the gifts .

“ Are

they just for Bianca ? ” The smile on her face instantly disappeared , as she was obviously unhappy tha

t I had n’t bought them anything . _ _ _ _ _

“ Mom , Linda was on a

business trip and not on vacation , so she did n’t have time to buy gifts . Carlos stepped in to

put the pieces together .

“ Despite as the old saying goes , children only think of their children instead of their parents . _ _ _ ” It

was evident that my mother-

in- law was not satisfied with the explanation he gave when she turned to snarl at her husband and wife

.daughter .

“ Yes , you sure are very partial to Bianca for buying her so many presents . _ Pamela joined the fray .

_

If it were sooner , I would smile apologetically as I explained to them that I was too busy to buy them gif

ts , which would follow up with me giving them money so they could buy whatever they wanted . _ How

ever , I do n’tI would

bow more to their will ! That ‘s how I ignored what they said and told Bianca smiling ; _ ” Bianca , go op

en your present in your room ” .

“ Thank you so much , Mom ! ” While holding her gift , Bianca went back to her room Dela. My mother-

in-

law ‘s and Pamela ‘s expressions soured as soon as they realized I was ignoring them , with Pamela di

rectly confronting me : “ Beautiful , when youWill you buy me the watch you promised me ? ”

” Oh , you ‘ll have to forgive my forgetfulness , as I ‘ve been quite busy lately , ” I explained apologetical

ly . _ _ _

“ So when are you going to finish the job ? ” Apparently , Pamela wasn’t going to give

up anytime soon .

“ Pamela ! Carlos had a grim expression as he called out to her .

“ It might take some time , so why do n’t we

make some arrangements ? ” With a smile , I turned to look at Carlos . _ “ Carlos , as your business is

close to one of the Cartier stores that recently launched a new watch _Pamela liked

it , why do n’t you buy it for her tomorrow ? ”

I

could see the greed in Pamela ‘s eyes as I began to formulate my suggestion , thinking that her wish w

as about to come true , but it

took a dramatic turn as soon as she heard my complete sentence . “ Why should my brother _keep the

promise you made? ”

“That is such a strange question , Pamela . Would the fact that I bought the watch for you make it any

different than if it had been bought by Carlos ? ” I replied with a smile on my face .

“ Of course , it’s different ! ” Such was his answer from Him. “ You would

be showing your appreciation if you bought it , while the appreciation would be in it

if he was the one to buy .

I mentally mocked her as I thought , It has nothing to do with f * cking appreciation , but everything to d

o with money . Though she was

reluctant to spend her brother ‘s money , the same could not be said when she spent her brother’s

money .

my .

“ Your brother and I have pooled our funds , so you don’t need

to draw such a clear line between us , or perhaps you

are suggesting that my husband and I are from different families ? ” Sighing , I wore a look of regret .

“ Pamela , how can you say that ? Carlos threw him a furious look as he spoke . _

“ That was n’t what I meant . ” _ Pamela pouted as if she felt wronged . _

“ Fine , say no more about the matter . _ _ You already have enough watches , so why are you buying

more ? Earn your own salary if you want to buy them . ” He was seething when he made the final call .

“ What ‘s going on here ? ” A weak voice came . Turning around , I saw Joana watching us from the gu

est room as she leaned against the door frame wearing a casual outfit . _ _ I could see into

the room through the open doorthat there were pictures of herself placed on

the study table . How dare that bitch get comfortable in my house ! _ _ _ _
