CHAPTER 58
Eros’s behavior was not normal, but I didn’t take importance to it since my mind was thinking about the problems that my father’s parents are causing me, those gentlemen who don’t want to leave here in any way and it’s a nuisance because I will never forgive them, they stained my mother’s name with lies just because they wanted to keep my father in absolute control.
-Stop being mortified by them.
-I just don’t understand how they could do that to you mom, they manipulated everything so that you….
-Daughter, it is a thing of the past. The only thing that matters is the present and that you always believe in me.
Of course I would always believe in her, she is my mother and doubting her is like my husband distrusting me. She hugs me with a smile, I adjust her cap and then kiss her forehead, she says that her hair has started to fall so I should wear it.
-Everything ok with… Lucio?
-Yes, I thought he had changed, but after we talked about us and what happened, well, we realized that it doesn’t matter anymore but the fact that we can take advantage of this opportunity.
-He didn’t change?
-No. -Seeing my mother happy despite what she is going through makes me feel very happy -Don’t worry about me anymore and enjoy yourself, just like your mother does.
I hug her again because she makes me relax when I feel overwhelmed by the situation. An employee tells me that the table is already available for all of us to go to the meza so I take my mother by the arm and she takes Isabel to go downstairs and enjoy as a family although… I don’t know if it will be possible because of Lucio’s parents.
-Aria -Eros’ siblings came with their parents. -Welcome
-You look radiant my dear -Eros’ father as always is kind -But look at what a beautiful baby. -Grandpa brought you something very nice…” He takes Isabel with emotion.
-Hey, don’t be abusive, she’s my granddaughter too!….
Mrs. Karla went behind him to catch up with him and see her granddaughter, Aria greets me with a kiss on the cheek as well as Apolo, I congratulate her since her pregnancy is going much better and she looks radiant as always.
When Apolo saw Eros in the distance he left us behind, my sister-in-law and I shared tips to help each other about motherhood, when he saw Lucio, he realized who were the gentlemen with him.
-Any important news?
-No, and if there was, you know you would be the first to know.
I didn’t want to comment anything on that subject and I hoped that the Bloods wouldn’t do it too, but I think that will be impossible, I can tell that they are up to something and it’s not good at all.
Eros told everyone to take a seat, the agent was about to sit next to me when Eros told him that his sister Aria would sit next to me but that the next chair was free. I give Eros a reprimanding look for how rude he was being but he leaves me speechless when he ignores me.
At least lunch was silent, “thank heavens” no one said a word other than to say that the food was delicious.
-But son, why didn’t you tell us you had extra guests? Is this some business you’re closing?
-Dad, no.
-No Mr. Ainsworth, business now belongs to our only son Lucius, our visit is… -Lucius, could you pass me the salt shaker please.
-Lucius, could you pass me the salt shaker please.
-Of course.
The old lady looked annoyed because my mother interrupted her.
-As always, the poor people never know any manners.
-Excuse me, did you say something? -Mom said annoyed. -Ma’am, if you have something to tell me, I’m here.
-Don’t play deaf, you heard right. -The arrogance of the lady was making me angry -Now you understand why it was better that you were never with a woman of that kind, they don’t deserve anything, they are just vipers who only want their own well being.
-Enough mom
Lucio tries to shut her up but she doesn’t do it.
-I am not using your daughter to marry the eldest son of the Ainsworth family… listen to me well, if you allow us to educate your daughter as she should….
-That’s enough! -I could no longer listen to her speak in such a demeaning way and on top of that she calls me my prostitute. Everyone was startled by my shout, “Who the hell does she think she is to come and offend me and my father in my own house! -Everyone was silent when they saw how pissed off I was. -The only thing she had to do was to shut her mouth, all she does is spit garbage.
-Are you going to let your daughter talk to me like that?
-Wait… Are you Lucio’s daughter? -said Eros’ mother in confusion, “But wasn’t it that he didn’t have any children?
-It’s a long story,” said Lucius. Bianca, please calm down.
-No. I’m not going to calm down, maybe they kept you in line dad, but they won’t do it with me, nobody gives me orders, listen to me lady, I know very well what he did and I will never forgive him for that, denigrating my mother as if she was a slut, I will never tolerate that, she, without his help or his son’s or his parents’, she raised me, she worked tirelessly so that I would never lack my food or my clothes, she stayed up late with sewing jobs until the wee hours of the morning year after year so that I would never lack anything, she is a much more worthy woman than you, that is why I will not let anyone talk about her in that way, now… either you apologize to her, or you leave my house.
Everyone laid their eyes on the woman who looked upset, but she knew that her pride would not let her apologize to her.
-Maria, I want you to know that I never agreed with my wife’s crazy idea.
-Mario! -said the old woman.
-What? -he said in an annoyed tone. -Didn’t I tell you that later you would regret what you did? Because of your absurd decision, you made our son have a vasectomy, it is a fortune that the woman survived with a baby of our blood, alone, you should be grateful to her, but no, the only thing you do is to make everything worse.
-That’s not true, don’t tell lies. And what is this man doing here? -She points out, “Is he your granddaughter-lover?
Everyone’s mouth drops when he says such stupidity, so desperate was he to make everyone forget how vile he is that he accuses me of infidelity.
