Chapter 222 A Wife's Duty
Chapter 222 A Wife's Duty
Nancy sat on the main seat, and Rogelio took me to sit beside Nancy.
"I know the place you went to. The environment and living condition there are so bad. You have lost a lot of weight in just two days. I'll cook some delicious food for you."
Rogelio touched his face and said, "Mom, it's not as exaggerated as you said. I thought I gained weight because Jasmine took care of me these two days." Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Nancy glanced at me when he looked at me. I saw the dissatisfaction in her eyes clearly.
However, Nancy was so calm that she didn't show it in front of Rogelio.
At the table, Nancy didn't say anything. The three of us looked harmonious and natural.
After dinner, Nancy said to Rogelio, "It's a long journey. I've asked Maria o prepare the hot water for you. You go to take a shower first."
The first reaction of him was to look at me.
"I asked you to take a shower. Why do you look at your wife? Should you ask for permission from her? Or are you afraid that she will just disappear in our house?"
"That's not true," said Rogelio in a hurry.
Taking a look at me, Rogelio encouraged me with a smile, "I'm going to take a shower first. You go upstairs to take a shower and go to bed early."
I nodded to Rogelio.
Rogelio stood up and left.
It was not until Rogelio went far that Nancy's eyes fell on me again.
Without the presence of Rogelio, the smile on her face completely disappeared. Her calm face was no different from the time when she faced me alone before.
"I didn't talk to you when you were sick. Now that you and Rogelio have come to this intimate relationship, I have something to say."
Raising her chin, Nancy looked at me with disdain, "I didn't expect you to be so scheming. I didn't expect that you didn't divorce Rogelio, and now you exposed your marriage in front of the media in person. You've successfully slapped me in the face, ignoring my warning that you were not allowed to enter the Luo family before. Do you think since you are going to be his wife, I can do nothing to you from now on?"
I explained, "Auntie, I didn't expose my marriage with Rogelio to the public on my own. And I didn't want to disobey you."
"Don't pretend in front of me. I won't wrong you."
I didn't argue with her anymore for her firm belief. Instead, I chose to be silent.
"At this point, I don't want to talk about this with you today."
Nancy looked in the direction where Rogelio had disappeared and said, "He is my son. He has experienced a major accident and has come back to life. As his mother, I can see his mind. Now he is thinking about you. I don't want him to be unhappy. Since he likes you, I won't separate you. I won't make him unhappy, let alone make him think that as his mother, I can't tolerate the woman he likes."
I thought that Nancy wanted me to leave Rogelio, but I didn't expect that she would be have such an idea now.
"You and that Michelle are the same kind of woman in my heart. You are both shameless and bad women. I respect my son's choice. I also know that even if I ask you to leave him, you won't be obedient to my order, or you won't do such a thing."
"Although I won't force you to separate with him, since you are going to marry into the Luo family, you have to follow the rules of the Luo family in the future. Don't let me see those gossip news again, and don't do anything to betray Rogelio. Do you understand?"
I knew that it was her bottom line to accept my existence with such an attitude.
I nodded to her and said, "I see, Auntie."
"Don't call me aunt from now on, especially in front of Rogelio, or he will be unhappy. If you can make my son happy, I can turn a blind eye to you. If you make him unhappy, don't complain that as a mother- in-law, I will show a bad attitude to you."
I took a deep breath, looked into her eyes and tried to call her, "Mom."
There was only a heavy snort from her nose as response, and her face was full of disdain and disgust
Nancy raised her finger and touched her ear, as if what I said really stained her ears.
"If Rogelio wants to hold a wedding ceremony for you, then just do it. After all, I don't want to see his marriage be so quiet. After all, he is the CEO of a group. He must have a grand wedding."
"Thank you, mom."
"As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Luo family, you should know your duty. Do you know what you should do?"
I didn't understand what she meant. After thinking for a while, I answered, "Take good care of mom and Rogelio."
"What can you take care of us? In terms of taking care of us, all the servants in the Luo family are better than you.
I'm afraid you can't even take good care of myself." She glanced at me.
I can't imagine how Nancy and I would get along with each other in the future.
"When I married Rogelio's father, I gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Luo family. Women should assume the obligation to carry on the family line. It's your duty to have children, understand?"
I had never thought about this question. I felt a little embarrassed when she said it so frankly.
I nodded slightly.
With a sigh, Nancy looked at me. Although she still didn't like me, it was the first time that she said to me in a somewhat admonishing tone, "If you want to stay in the Luo family, the child is your foundation, just like me. Although my husband doesn't go home because of his affairs, my position in the Luo family has never changed."
I nodded again. "Okay, I know."
Rubbing her temples, Nancy said, "I'm tired after talking to you. I'm going upstairs to have a rest. You can go back to your room."
Nancy stood up, and so did I.
I watched her leave and then went upstairs.
When I opened the door, I saw that the light in my room was on, and Rogelio was lying on my bed in pajamas with one hand supporting his head.
Seeing me, he smiled. "What did mom say to you?"
"You know Mom wants to talk to me?"
"How long have you known my mom and how long have I known her? How can I not know what she wants to do?"
Then he sat up and looked at me. "What did she say to you? Did she embarrass you?"
