Chapter 18
“ I have some cash on me .” Carlos took the money out of his wallet for me , which I
took without hesitation . When I was about to count them , he handed me a bank card and said , “ Hone
y , you should stop spending . _ _your own money on unnecessary things . You can ask me for money
, then you will keep your money to yourself ” .
He looked so fair when he
said it , so I took his card , looking very grateful . “ Honey , you are the best ! ”
“ Honey , I know you ‘ve had to endure a
lot of hardship since you married me . My mother and sister are very greedy , so I know they were hard
on you . As he apologized , he held out his arm in
an attempt to hug me., while I repressed the urge to push him away . _ _
The door opened when we were holding
each other to reveal Joana , who was outside our room . When she saw me in Carlos ‘ arms before I m
anaged to get rid of him , the expression on her face was a sight to behold . “What ‘s the
problem , Joan ? ”
“ Mrs. _ Morais would like to know your opinion about the housekeeper . ”
“ We ‘ll be there soon . ” I left the room with my purse in hand next to Carlos . As
soon as I saw Vitória , I approached her with a smile on my face as I
counted the money I received from Carlos before handing it over to her .. “ Here are three thousand . Y
ou can use it for grocery shopping “ . _ _ _
My
em…”
mother-in-law didn’t seem to expect me to hand
over the money directly to Victoria . “I can keep Victoria company
However , I cut her off before she could finish her sentence . _ “ Mom , did n’t you tell me your lower bo
dy hurt ? _ _ It’s all because you worked so hard . We could only count on you when
we didn’t have Vitória as ourshousekeeper back then , but now that she ‘s here , you ‘ll
have more time to rest ”
In fact , my mother-in-
law was just faking her physical discomfort as she was using it as a bargaining chip to ask for more fro
m me , but she never expected me to
hold it against her . So she turned to look at Carlos in _ _seeking help , but he was on my side . “ She ‘
s right , Mom . You should take more time off by handing in certain tasks to the
Victory ” .
The sad look on my mother-in-
law ‘s face was everything to me . However , that was just the beginning of something even more dram
atic . _ As soon as Carlos said that , I said to Vitória : “ Both Carlos and I did
not believe in our mother whenwe hear from her that you are a complete housewife . However , we are
very pleased with what you made for breakfast . _ _ _ As you can see , we have a pregnant woman in
the house who requires special care , so we hope youcan take care of her ” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“ Of course , you can leave it to me ” , Victoria replied .
“ Then I will leave the house in your care . By
the way , I already spoke with Carlos about his salary . We ‘ll pay you at
the end of each month , and as long as you keep it up , I ‘ll also give you a bonus on
top of your twelve thousand salary .Aside from Bianca and me , the expression on everyone ‘s faces ch
anged as soon as I said that .
“ Twelve thousand ? Why all this ? Carlos asked in surprise .
“ It ‘s Vitória ‘s salary . ” I watched him with a smile . “ Did Mom not tell you last night ? _ Twelve thousa
nd is the monthly salary that she and Vitória agreed on .
