It Was Never Love 63
I have always been suspicious and liked to consider all possible outcomes. What if it was Nanci who was behind this, and Carla was simply taking the blame for her?That was the only reason why Carla remained so silent on the subject.She just wanted to resolve the matter as quickly as possible.As I thought about this, I smiled hypocritically and asked Nanci: “Mrs. Lima, did I hear from my assistant that you are very close to Michele Mary?”On the other hand, there was no connection between Carla and Michele.“Yes, we have known each other for a long time.”Nanci responded very calmly, not showing any flaws.I suddenly understood that Carla was indeed the scapegoat.But now that Carla Lima had been caught red-handed, there was no way to find anything that would lead to Nanci Lima, and I had no choice but to let Carla take the blame.First of all, she would have been willing to do it.Secondly, coming from the Lima family, punishing her would teach her a lesson, which would also be a g

I had just remembered the message he sent me, anyway, so I thought for a moment and said, “I didn't come to Washington because I didn't trust your ability to solve this problem. Those things though I happened to come across some clues, so I followed them.”He turned around and asked, “Then why did you lie?”“Why did I lie?”I had lied to him about coming for a business trip that came up.I had never been good at explaining, so I sighed and told the truth. “The clue I found. It is related to the Lima family. My assistant advised me to tell him, but then he also said that Mrs. Lima is his aunt. That’s why I lied to him, because I didn’t want to make things difficult for him, but I didn’t expect him to find out.”Responsibility. I paused and asked: “What did you do? Did I come to the city of Washington suddenly?”Carlos stopped the car at the intersection, put the car in gear and stared at me for a while. I touched my face and asked wonderfully. “Where are you looking?”“I missed you, an

Carlos couldn't get past that notion and I crushed him by gently reminding him: “At least for now, he's the one who treats me best.”He no longer challenged me, but was more intrigued by my relationship with Léo. He questioned: “As far as I know, there is no agreement between my brother’s families and mine on how they met each other?”I didn't want to divulge Léo's past, because it was his secret and it wasn't up to me to tell the world about it.But to satisfy Carlos' curiosity, I said: “We've known each other for a long time. He is the son of my mother’s best friend, he is my brother.”My explanation didn't seem very good to Carlos, but he didn't go any further either. He turned and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.Looking at her straightened back, I smiled silently and walked up the stairs. I went to my sister-in-law's room first to get some wet wipes to remove my makeup.There were many cosmetic products and several beautiful pieces of clothing in my sister-in-law's room. Sh

I instinctively replied: “That’s because he’s my brother.”“I don’t think your sister-in-law will like this one bit.”Out of nowhere, Carlos had made such a statement. It seemed reasonable and I was speechless.Could the conflict between my sister-in-law and my brother be caused by me?With this thought, my heart started to feel uncomfortable, as soon as I got off the plane, I called my sister-in-law. She was still sleeping and was dazed when she answered my call. “Natália, did something happen?”“Sister-in-law, did you and my brother argue because of me?”With my loved ones, I was frank with my words. My question was very direct and my sister-in-law was stunned for a few seconds before answering: “You could say yes.”My sister-in-law was also an outspoken person.“What made you guys argue?”The sister-in-law elaborated without hiding anything from me: “He felt that he was a heartless person and that he didn’t care about anyone. Since his surgery I've been busy running around, I think

I immediately rushed to the hospital when I heard that Lucy had an accident. As soon as I arrived, I saw Carlos standing smoking in a corner of the corridor in front of the infirmary. He stubbed out his cigarette when he saw me and said calmly, “Lucy is currently fine after emergency surgery and the person driving the car was the man she always wanted to be with.”I immediately responded: “Are you referring to Charles Lucas?”How did he know he and Lucy were interested in Charles?Carlos didn't answer, but questioned me instead: "Are you investigating Charles because of Lucy?"I nodded in affirmation. Carlos was smart and immediately realized Lucy's intention. He said: “I think she deliberately planned this to happen and desperately tried to put herself in danger! We underestimated her determination for revenge. In order to enter the Lucas family, she dared to offend Charles and even planned to take revenge on him.”Carlos' words obviously showed that he was still skeptical about what

He knew it was most likely already over the moment I walked into the living room and calmly passed the phone to Carla at his side.It was regrettable that she managed to escape punishment this time."Everything is fine. We have already achieved what we set out to do.”Seeing that I was so calm, my assistant was surprised. “Have you been suspicious of Nanci all this time?”“I guessed it, but I had no concrete proof.”After finishing the phone call with my assistant, I sat on my bed and opened my birth document. There was no doubt that my name indicated on the document was Natália Moom.In the photograph, I was a baby and the only difference was the year of birth, in the document, the date was 1995.But I was born in 1996 and turned twenty-three this year.Natália in the document should be twenty-four years old.Unrest slowly crept into my heart.I suddenly understood what Michele had intended to do!I quickly sent a message to my assistant to have him delete my birth records. He didn't

I didn't ask Karen if it was André Sky.She still thought that her feelings for André had been kept to herself. However, she knew he was interested in me at that moment.Theoretically, he could see me as just his rival.He couldn't tell how she felt about me and had no idea why she had called, asking to meet.She nodded and replied sincerely: “It’s true, it’s something about a relationship, more specifically, it’s about unrequited love.”Normally, I would have to ask her what kind of person she had fallen in love with, but I knew it was André, so I couldn't ask her about it.I sighed. “Love is difficult, I don’t know how to comfort her, take the blanket in the back seat and warm her up.”Sensing that I was trying to distance myself from her, she pursed her lips and fell silent. She also didn't pick up the back blanket.Because of my relationship with Carlos Sky, I was her ex-sister-in-law, no matter what. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel anything when I saw him so sad. But

I knew it seemed like I was trying to avoid responsibility.It was true that André Sky and I had nothing, but it was also true that he was in love with me, he had asked me if I would change my mind and meet him.He had said he would wait for me all his life.I could imagine how painful it was for Karen.She didn't speak again and we remained silent as I drove her back to her neighborhood, according to my memory of the route.I parked the car by the road and gave her an umbrella and she accepted it and thanked me gratefully, then she said with a guilty look on her face: “I'm sorry I bothered you, I just wanted to talk to someone.”In fact, she hadn't done anything wrong, it was my fault.Seeing her upset and restless, I reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a low voice: “I can't tell André what to do or how to feel, but I promise I won't get any closer to him.”Taken aback by my words, Karen looked at me in astonishment, she shook her head eagerly. “I didn’t ask her out that’s w
