Chapter 3
As soon as the words fell, Alberto angrily pushed me.
The lower back suddenly bumped into the corner of the dining table, causing me to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
“Emelia Abbott, do you know what you are talking about?”
“Isn’t it just about asking you to cook a meal? Why are you complaining here?”
I bit my teeth tightly in pain and didn’t make a sound.
In Alberto’s eyes, it was a provocation to him.
Haylie said something sarcastic there.
“Albero,
“If this person became my sister–in–law, I would have been kicked
out
of
S
by
”
At that moment, Alberto’s eyes seemed to be on fire.
He grabbed my hand and forcefully dragged me into the kitchen, throwing
me
directly onto the stove.
On that indifferent face, there was not a trace of warmth.
“If you can’t make the dish Haylie wants to eat today, you will stay in the kitchen all night!”
With a bang.
The kitchen door was closed by Alberto.
My wrist turned purple in a circle, along with the stove corner that I had just bumped into. The skin on my elbow got scraped, and in an instant, I saw blood.
In a short while, there came a continuous laughter from outside the door, from Haylie.
Then Alberto walked in again, seeing me without any moveme
“Emelia, were you determined to go against me?”
Auto–added to the Library
“You were Haylie’s sister–in–law, what’s wrong with asking you to cook a meal!”
I stood up straight, slowly lifted my head and looked at Alberto, with a hint of mockery
on
“Did you forget that we had already divorced?”
“I cannot live up to the title of sister–in–law!”
Alberto’s eyes flickered with embarrassment. He cleared his throat and gently embraced me, whispering words of comfort.
Just now, it was me who couldn’t control my emotions, but as I said, our divorce is only temporary.
“Once I comforted Haylie, we could remarry at any time, so let’s not get angry over such trivial
He handed me a piece of paper filled with the names of dishes, as he spoke,
His face was serious, with a hint of warning.
“This time I gave you a chance, as long as you can please Haylie and make her a little happier,
“Emelia, you listened!”
Waited for Alberto to leave, then closed the kitchen door again.
In that moment, there was an indescribable sadness in my heart.
When divorce and remarriage became trivial matters in his mouth!
Do I still have to please Haylie?
Sorry, I couldn’t do it.
I would rather sleep in the kitchen than please her.
We
remarry faster.”
I squatted down and sat on the ground, leaning against the cabinet under the stove, and closed my eyes.
In a daze, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body.
I opened my eyes and saw Haylie smirking as she splashed a bucket of icy cold water at me.
“Haylie, are you crazy?”
She threw the basin in her hand directly at me.
The basin bottom heavily hit
my forehead.
“Emelia, cooking is not for you to sleep, with your ghostly appearance, you still want to marry Alberto? Go eat shit!”
I was instantly furious.
Picking up the basin she had just thrown at me, I fiercely hurled it back at her.
Haylie screamed, even though she managed to dodge the basin, she still got splashed with the remaining water inside.
Alberto outside heard the noise and quickly rushed over.
Looking at the disheveled Haylie, without saying a word, she immediately grabbed my hair and interrogated me.
“Emelia, have you gone mad? Who gave you the audacity to dare to harm Haylie!”
He exerted great force, his face twisted in a grimace, as if he wanted to pull out my hair from the roots.
I had to tiptoe and explain with my neck stiff, following the height he raised his arm to.
“It was she who splashed water on me first, and even threw a basin at me…”
But before I could finish my words, Alberto’s eyes widened, revealing a fierce and icy gaze.
“That serves you right!”
“Asked you to cook a meal, and you dared to resist and be lazy! It’s just that Haylie is beautiful and kind–hearted, so she splashed a bucket of cold water on you. Otherwise, if it were me, I would just throw you out!”
