Upon hearing this , Carlos looked at me with pure appreciation . “ You are always so thoughtful “.
Joana ‘s expression became displeased when she saw him praising me . _ _ _ However , she could n’t
do anything , as she definitely would n’t be able to gain any favors from my mother-
in- law if she were to provoke her at this point . she mustbeing very familiar with my mother- in –

that , I already found a way to teach you a lesson .
After dinner , my sister-in-law helped my father- in – law walk . Joana , on the
other hand , deliberately stayed in the kitchen to do the cleaning with Vitória , but it
was just a pretext , as she just stayed by the side talking while secretly keeping her eyes on him

lot to say to Carlos , huh ? Well I ‘m just not giving her the chance ! _
I didn’t take Bianca for an after – meal walk as usual , but I did
carry the dishes I took earlier to my mother-in –

going to buy me jewelry , so just let him know if anything catches your eye and ask him to buy it
