Or was
it because Carlos made him another promise ? Was that why she was so relaxed ? _ Tonight , I did
not sleep well . When morning came , the nurse who was taking
care of me came . I had just washed up when Carlos appeared . _
As soon as he walked in , he asked , “ Honey , how are you feeling today ? ”
“ My stomach hurts a little . I asked the doctor , and the doctor said I didn’t need to worry too much . I ju
st needed to rest . ” Now I could even keep a straight face when I lied .
“ That ‘s good . You need to be very careful .” Carlos opened a thermos that he brought with
him . “ This is a soup I cooked . _ Try it .”
With a grateful expression , I
finished the soup . Carlos then opened another bag and took out a box . _ “ Honey , this is the jade nec
klace you wanted . _ _ I brought it to you ” .
He opened the box and took out a jade necklace . Although it
looked identical , I could tell with a look that it
was n’t the same one I had before . The texture and color , including the finish , were obviously much b
etter . _
From what Henriques told me last night , I was n’t too surprised about the jewelry thing . _ _ Quite natur
ally , I took the jade necklace from him and put it on .
When I didn’t seem to notice any difference with the necklace , Carlos seemed to let
out a sigh of relief . He chatted with me some more , then suddenly changed the subject to his mother .
“ Honey , I ‘m thinking of getting Mom and Dad _move ” . _
“ Why should they move when they are perfectly fine there ? _ Was it because of what happened yeste
rday ? Honey , I told you what happened yesterday was just an accident . _ _ _ Mom did n’t mean it . Y
ou will break the hearther if you do that , and you will put me in a difficult position . ”
“ It ‘s not entirely about what happened yesterday . You also know that my mother is not an easy perso
n to get along
with and is careless in her handling of things . I’m worried that it might affect your mood . Everything wa
s fine before , whenyou were n’t pregnant , but now that you are , things have to change .”

When he said that , he sounded so loud , like it was all for my good . _ If I didn’t know what kind of pers
on he was . I definitely would have been tricked , but now I knew everything .
What I needed to do was inhibit anything Carlos wanted to do , so I quickly gave my answer . ” I don’t a
gree with the change of mom and dad ” .
”
”
“ Why ? _ Carlos looked at
me in surprise . He knew very well what kind of people his parents were . He probably thought I would
be ecstatic when I mentioned it , but now that I was against it , he was surprised .
“ Mom and Dad are old now . They need someone to take care of them . Have
you ever thought about how they would feel if you changed them ? Also , I do n’t think Mom is
a difficult person to get along with . Although she has her faults, she is not a bad person , plus she is so
looking forward to grandchildren . When she finds NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
out I ‘m pregnant , she ‘s sure to smother me with worry . There’s no way she wouldn’t treat me right . ”
I said all this with great sincerity , but Carlos could n’t stay still any longer . For the last few years , I’ve
given it my all with no regrets or complaints , but I’ve
found your betrayal relentless . If he still had a trace of conscience in him ,he would feel ashamed .
But his shame lasted only an instant . Her phone soon rang . He looked
down at the phone and gave me a smile . “ It ‘s my company secretary “ . _
What secretary ? It ‘s probably that bitch Joana . I knew very well who I was in my heart , but I
left no trace on my face . Instead , I
tried to persuade Carlos to mind his business for him . “ Honey , go take care of yoursbusiness . You
don’t have to worry about me . I have doctors and nurses here who will take care of me ” .
“ I’m going back to the company . Once everything is organized , I ‘ll be right back to take
care of you . ” Carlos left with the cell phone .
When the sounds of his footsteps faded into the distance , he fell into deep thought . He definitely
would n’t be so eager to send his parents away because of me . What is he planning now ? _
