Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 124

At this point , I could n’t pretend I didn’t hear . Henriques raised his voice on purpose , as he

wanted me to hear it . If I continued like this , not only

would Carlos be humiliated , but so would I. I did n’t care about Carlos , but Iit was important So I took

a deep breath and opened the door . “ Mac ” I smiled at my mother-in-law . “ Why are you still here ? _

“ I ‘m talking business with Mr. _ Ribeiro . ”

“ Lord . Ribeiro ” I smiled at him awkwardly and pulled her to the side . _ “ Mother ! ” I lowered my voic e . “ I thought you were going to see Joana . Hurry up then . _

“ Joana is not as important as the business . _ Linda , Mr. _ Ribeiro agreed to return the business to Ca

rlos . ” She looked ignorantly smug .

“ Mom , it’s not as simple as you think . Go see Joana . _ Carlos will take care of it himself . I would

have run away in shame if I could , but I could n’t .

“ Okay . _ We reached an agreement and I was about to call Carlos . _ She looked for her phone . “ Oh

, whoops . I didn’t bring my phone . Give me yours . _ I want to make a call .

“ I broke it by accident yesterday , Mom , so I

ca n’t make any calls . Why do n’t you make the call downstairs ? _ I needed

to pull her away to avoid further embarrassment .

“ What were you doing ? _ You are so careless ! You don’t know how

much a phone can cost ? If this continues , our family will go bankrupt ! ” my mother-in-law grumbled

I thought she was going to leave , but to my chagrin , she shyly approached Henriques . “ I

brought the phone , Mr. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Ribeiro?”

“ I ‘m sorry , but no , no , Mrs. Morals . ”

“ This is a disgrace . I ‘ ll make the call downstairs , then . She left quickly .

I was relieved that she was gone , but when I looked back , Henriques was smiling mysteriously at me .

For some reason , I felt ashamed and unworthy , so I looked at him awkwardly . “ Lord . Ribeiro , my m

other-in-law came from

the countryside, so she doesn’t know much about social etiquette . Please do not take this seriously ” .

_

“ I do n’t care , so neither should you , Mrs. _ _ Morals . Hmm , her face is red . Do you have a

fever or are you hot ? Henriques mocked .

I was in no position to grumble , so I politely replied , “ It must be because of the soup I ate . I’m with

heat .

Is it ? What kind of soup is Henriques wasn’t going to let me get away .

“ Just some clam chowder . _ _ _ ”

“ clam chowder , eh ? _ I thought you had drunk a green broth , full of herbs .

“ Are you kidding , Mr. Ribeiro . ” I forced a smile .

“ No , I ‘m not . I ‘ve never seen anyone get so red after eating soup . It’s very curious . Are you sure yo

u had clam chowder ? I’ve also taken it a few times , but I’ve never been as red as you

are now . Yourseafood soup is there anything else ? _
