Lucinda smiled and pinched her chubby cheek.
âYouâre neither ugly nor fat.
In fact, youâre becoming more beautiful.
â
Feeling better, Luisa glared at Sonny and complained, âLook at him, Lucinda.
Heâs so rude! How dare he say that Iâm fat! Itâs intolerable!â
Lucinda nodded in agreement and suggested, âYouâre right.
He does need to be taught a lesson.
The feather duster is right on the cabinet by the door.
Do you want to use it on him?â
âCan I?â Luisaâs eyes lit up with excitement.
She had long wanted to teach Sonny a lesson.
âYes, and Iâll tell Sonny not to dodge.
You can hit him as you Like,â
Lucinda said, encouraging her.
Luisa immediately ran to get the feather duster, eager to give it a try.
Sonnyâs eyes widened in horror.
âHow dare you! Donât forget who has been supporting you! Me! Do you still want your pocket money for next month?â
Hearing this, Luisa became instantly dejected.
She pouted unhappily and sat back on the sofa.
Lucinda couldnât help but stifle her laughter.
âAdmit defeat already?â
Though not fully reconciled, Luisa had to yield to Sonnyâs threat.
âHeâs the breadwinner.
I have to.
â
Lucinda nodded with a faint smile.
âYou have to make your own money so that you can have more say in the house.
â
Hearing her words, Luisa was enlightened and came up with an idea in an instant.
To avoid Sonny from noticing her intention, she quickly changed the subject.
âLucinda, youâre amazing.
Nathan gave you all his property, and heâs so good at cooking and taking care of you.
How did you train him?â
Lucinda smiled, recalling how she turned Nathan into such a skilled husband.
Back in Forden, he had been forced to sign an âemployment agreementâ with her.
The first time he cooked, he burned the spareribs and put too much salt in the cabbage.
However, she couldnât mention these incidents in public, or he would get angry.
