Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson)

Chapter 135

I didn’t know Henriques very well, and my understanding of him was based mainly on what Isabel

occasionally told me. The Ribeiro Familia were rich and powerful, so it really wouldn’t require much

from them to deal with Carlos.

But would he help me? I shook my head. I didn’t know Henriques well enough, but even if I did, he

might not agree to help in such a matter.

However, the words that Henriques said to Carlos during the fight, as well as the exchanges between

Carlos and Joana,

came back to my memory.

It was clear that Henriques and Carlos had a grudge against each other, and if I used that as a reason

to cause discord, would that make this request an exception?

I knew it was a risky speculation, but as long as there was still a glimmer of hope, I told myself I

wouldn’t let it go.

Now, I needed to find out what grudge existed before, so I can use it to my advantage.

Just as I was thinking about how to carry out my plan, I heard Victoria’s voice coming from the living

room. “You guys are back!”

Then came my mother-in-law’s happy voice. “Yes we are. Victoria, bring me a glass of water, please.”

Vitória grunted and went to ask my father-in-law: “Mr. Morales, what do you want? Fruit juice or tea?”

“I’m going to have some tea.” My father-in-law looked a little different than usual.

Hearing this, I quickly jumped out of bed and stopped next to my door. Through the gap, I saw that my

father-in-law and mother-in-law were sitting on the sofa, looking happy.

After that, I went outside and asked: “Mom, Dad, where did you come from? Is there something to

celebrate? Why do you look so happy?”

“Nothing,” replied my mother-in-law. “We were just helping Joana with the discharge paperwork”.

I didn’t believe this explanation. There must have been something else that they were hiding from me.

Only one in three things could make them happy: first, a windfall; second, something good happens to From NôvelDrama.Org.

their child; third, something good happened to their daughter.

It couldn’t be Carlos due to the bruises on his face, so it was the first or third reason. Since it couldn’t

be a windfall, my gut told me it must have something to do with Pamela.

On that note, I hadn’t seen Pamela in a few days, and that solidified my speculation. But what kind of

good news would Pamela have?

Pamela never got good grades in school, and the only reason she was able to go to college was

because Carlos saved up enough money to pay her tuition. Besides showing everyone how rich she

was, she never had any achievements in

school.

I suddenly remembered that Pamela’s twenty-second birthday was just days away. Could this be

it? But she celebrated her birthday every year, so that shouldn’t be the reason.

After dinner, I went for a walk alone while Carlos continued to work in the room with a bruised face and

Joana went back to the room to rest a little.

Alone, I walked along the bridge into the greenbelt heading north and sat down to clear my head after

finding a quiet spot with a few more trees.

Before I knew it, it was dark and the streetlights were on; it felt kind of cold. At that point, I finally

decided to head back home, but before I got very far, I heard a sultry voice coming from the

bushes. “My dear, I missed you

Why did that voice ring a bell? Feeling scared, I stopped in my tracks and looked towards the voice

only to see a man and woman kissing amongst the trees. Even if I only saw his back, I could still tell

who the guy was based on his voice.

One of them was Carlos’ father, while the lady’s face was blocked so I couldn’t see her face. The only

thing I saw was the yellow shirt she was wearing, and she definitely wasn’t my mother-in-law.

Like father Like Son! I snorted, deciding to leave this filthy place as quickly as possible as I hurried

away.

It was beyond me to see my father-in-law get involved in things like this one. In my opinion, he was a

man of few words and always seemed kind and good-natured. I always saw him as a down to earth

person, but I was shocked to find out that someone like him would also cheat on his wife.
