Chapter 52
Being a quick thinker , Victoria chimed in : “ I think she ‘s still mad about what happened just now . _ _
_ _ _ Mr. Carlos , Linda , I swear , this is not my fault ! Mrs. _ _ Ramos is still pregnant andshe needs t
o eat . Otherwise , it will affect the baby ‘ s growth . I better apologize to her to calm her down . ” _ _
If you listened carefully , you would
realize that Victoria was indirectly criticizing Joana for using the baby to make a scene . Finally , there Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
was a slight change of expression on Carlos ‘ face .
Lowering his head , he did n’t say a word and started eating his dinner . Letting
out a sigh , I said : “ Victoria , I do n’t think there’s any way . It
will be better if you can go and apologize to Joana ” .
Having said that , Vitória carried a tray with food in her hands and entered Joana ‘s room . A little
while later , Victoria came out of the room and shook her head . “ Ms. Ramos still doesn’t want to
eat ” .
“ What now ? ” My mother- in -
law was very worried and started to blame Victoria . “ It’s all because of you ! If you had n’t ruined her cl
othes , would she be this mad ? _
“ I already told you that this has nothing to do with Vitória ! Why do you keep bringing this up ? Carlos t
hundered . _
“ Actually , we cannot blame Vitória . _ _ ” Looking at Carlos , I insisted : “ Carlos , I think Joana is angr
y with you and not with Vitória . _ _ What you just said was a little too hard on her . _ why _don’t
you talk to her ? Noticing the change in expression on Dela ‘s face , I
sighed heavily . “ Joana is pregnant . _ Considering the baby is fatherless , why do n’t you clear things
up with her ? _ _ ”
“ Exactly ! What Linda said is right . _ Carlos , please go clear things up with Joana ” , her mother told h
er as she urged Carlos to move .
Grimacing , Carlos entered Joana ‘s room . _ _ _
Seeing Carlos walk away , I scoffed , as I was still amazed at how good he was at acting reluctant on
the outside , but in truth , he was probably very worried on the inside .
After settling accounts with Carlos , Joana cooled her anger . _ _ Although she
didn’t have dinner with them , she had finished the meal that Victoria had sent her to her room .
However , I knew very well that it would not end like that , because my mother – in –
law and Joana would not stop criticizing Vitória .
housekeeper .
So I had to come up with something quick to stop them from requesting a change of address .
While I was thinking of a plan , Pamela came
back from classes . Looking around the living room , Pâmela noticed that Joana was not around , so sh
e asked : “ Where is Joana ? _ ”
Pulling Pamela aside , my mother-
in- law whispered : “ Joana is resting in her room . You can see how she is and comfort her ” . _
“ What happened ? _ Pamela asked in surprise .
After my mother-in –
law whispered something in her ear , Pamela suddenly exclaimed : “ She ‘s just a maid ! We
can easily find another replacement . Why are we keeping an eyesore here at home ? ”
As expected , they were aiming again at Vitória .
Frowning , Carlos scolded : “ Pamela ! Do you really have to shout something like that ? ”
“ Joana is mad because of the maid , is n’t she ? Let’s just get another replacement ! Being young , Pa
mela tended to speak her mind directly . _ _ _ _
“ I think Pamela does n’t like Victoria very much either ? ” Giving me a half smile , I
cast a look at Carlos . Thinking about it , as mother and daughter did not like Vitória , it
seemed that it was my mother – in – law who ordered Joana to do this .
With a somber expression , Carlos slammed his hand down on
the table , startling everyone in the family .
