Isabel only spoke to
me briefly before hanging up the phone . Initially , I was planning to drink the milk Carlos brought me , b
ut his earlier reminder triggered my wave of rebellion , so I poured the milk down the sink instead of dri
nking it .After discarding the milk , I slid into bed and lay down . _ As I lay in bed ,
I just could n’t sleep . During that time , Carlos entered once . _ Standing beside the bed , he stared at
me for a while and thenreached out to touch my forehead , but I kept my eyes closed and pretended to
sleep the whole time . In the end , he left with the empty glass that was used for milk now .
After leaving , he didn’t come back for a
long time . For some inexplicable reason , he could n’t sleep well lately , and tonight was no exception
. I had been lying in bed for a
long time , but I did n’t feel sleepy at all . Otime passed slowly and the night gradually deepened . _ It’s
quiet outside , so everyone in the house has probably gone to bed , but he has n’t come back yet .
Just when I was wondering why he had n’t gone back to sleep yet , the door opened and Carlos walked
into the room while calling softly : ” Honey ” . _ Naturally , I ignored him and continued to pretend to
sleep with my eyes closed .He then walked over to the side of
the bed and nudged me . Upon receiving no response , he left again . This time , he did n’t come
back after leaving . It’s already 2:00 am , so why has n’t he come
back yet ? Finding it extremely strangeI slid out of bed and carefully opened the door . _ _ Only the livin NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
g room lamp was on , so the house looked quite dark . _ _ I silently walked to the office , but it
was very quiet there , not a sound to be heard .ear . After a moment ‘s hesitation , I gently pushed
open the door . This is weird . There’s no sign of him inside . Where could he be at such an hour if
not in the office ? Out of nowhere , a thought crossed my mind . Could it be ?
I then crept furtively into Joana ‘s room and sure enough , flirtatious laughter came out of her room . _
quarto.
“ How was it ? Was it good ? ”
“ Of course . You know what ? _ I haven’t had this much fun in a long time .”
“ You are a liar . I do n’t believe you would
be able to stop yourself from taking liberties with a beauty as great as her .
“ I ‘m not lying . I have no interest in
her . Honestly speaking , while she ‘s beautiful , she ‘s like a dead fish . You , however , are totally diffe
rent . _ You give me incredible pleasure with just your mouth , and I _I really love that little mouth of
yours ! ”
“ Humph ! You ‘re just showering me with sweet words . If you really have no interest in her , why did yo
u buy her a Cartier necklace , and such a gorgeous piece ? ”
“ Do I have any choice but to
go to Cartier ? You didn’t see how Isabel cornered me . Plus you ‘re wearing Cartier jewelry , so why ca
n’t she ? _ _ _ ”
“ I do n’t care . You said you have no interest in her , so you should n’t compare us . ”
“ And whose fault is it ? _ Is n’t that all you ‘re doing ? _ If you had n’t worn that bracelet to show off , sh
e wouldn’t have noticed . It
did n’t cross her mind that she wished she had something from Cartier when shewas to see you with th
at bracelet ?
“
I never thought she would notice , as she usually does n’t pay attention to such things . ” Carlos ‘ words
left Joana a little displeased . _ “ Well , even if I am wrong here , you are not allowed to act like alovebi
rd with her before me in the future . I was so angry today ! ”
“ When did we act like lovebirds ? Carlos countered . _
