Sir, Madame Has Run Away Again Chapter 2
Chapter 2
I froze in that moment , watching the two shamelessly kiss and make out , and then hug as they walked to the hotel .
My mind was seething .
The worst outcome I could anticipate was for Carlos to cheat on me . I didn’t expect it to be a double betrayal by my husband and my best friend !
Even having seen it in person , I still found it hard to swallow .
Joana also had a boyfriend . I had even met him before . _
Two months ago , she was pregnant with her boyfriend ‘s child . She even said that because of her boyfriend , she had to give birth to the child .
Why … did she suddenly hook up with my husband ?
And I treated her so well . She was pregnant so I was worried that she would suffer . Not only did I take care of her , but I also asked Carlos to find her a comfortable position in the company .
Thinking about it , my heart felt a twinge of pain again .
Did they stay together in those two months ?
But Joan was pregnant . How perverted and hungry was Carlos to go after her ?
I could neither understand nor accept it .
I don’t know how long I stood there in that spot , but finally I dragged my heavy steps to a bar , intending to use the wine to stem my overflowing sadness ,
But the more I drank , the more uncomfortable I felt . In the end , I could n’t take it anymore and I called my close friend , Isabel , to tell her what had happened over the past two days .
Isabel came very quickly . As soon as she entered the bar , she hugged me and comforted me .
I cried until I had no more strength and finally calmed down .
Isabel hesitated and said : ” Two years ago , when I went for a walk in Rio de Janeiro , I saw them leaving the hotel together … ”
I exploded immediately . So Carlos and Joana had been together for two years ? _
“ Then why did n’t you tell me about it ? ”
Isabel had a bitter look on her face as she explained :
“ Joana and I never got along , but she was your best friend . _ And besides , I could n’t take a picture at that time . Would you believe me if I told you all this ?
“ Besides , I just saw them leaving the hotel together . I was n’t sure if there was some sort of inappropriate relationship between the two . If I spoke too quickly , I was afraid it might spoil her relationship with Carlos . ”
After hearing Isabel ‘s words , I felt a wave of searing pain in my heart . _
She was right , the only wrong person was me , and the only blind person was me . _
“ Linda , do you want to hire a private detective to investigate and collect evidence of Carlos ‘ extramarital affair ? ”
I was silent for a moment , then nodded .
“ Okay then , leave the matter of finding a private detective to me . ”
I left the bar and went home alone .
I drank a lot of wine at night , but when I got into bed I still did n’t feel sleepy .
I was always thinking about Carlos and Joana getting involved together like two big worms .
I was feeling sick and uncomfortable , and I could n’t sleep .
The next morning , I went to my mother-in-law ‘s house to pick up Bianca .
I looked downcast and she didn’t care about me at all . She even rolled her eyes in disgust .
Since she knew that I could n’t give birth , she was always like that when we were together . I was used to it .
I picked up Bianca and was about to leave , but my sister -in-law Pamela Morais stopped me first .
“ Linda , about the Cartier watch you promised me earlier … When are you going to buy it for me ? ”
Who told her ? _
I looked at her and said halfheartedly , “ I ‘ve been busy lately . Let ‘s talk about this later , okay ? _ ”
Pamela ‘s smiling face instantly sunk . _
I could n’t be bothered with her anymore , so I pulled Bianca out the door .
Four years ago , when Carlos and I had been married for just a year , I learned that I could n’t give birth .
60%
For that reason , I always felt that I owed a lot to the Morais family . Faced with the difficulties of my mother-in-law and sister – in -law , I was especially tolerant , and I always bought them all kinds of nutritious products , expensive clothes and bags …
I did n’t expect them to really treat me like an ATM .
After I left , Pamela followed me and yelled at me : “ Beautiful , do n’t forget ! ”
I did n’t turn and walk away .
As I carried Bianca to the car , I suddenly understood something .
My infertility was not my choice . _ If Carlos didn’t accept it , he could definitely ask for a divorce .
If he was the one who refused to divorce her , then why did I feel guilty ?
