It was not until quite a long time later that I realized that people could not get along well with each other
simply even they were sincere.
Some of feeling would take root and sprout as long as they were determined to have a deep root.
I still underestimated Mrs. Nancy's rejection of me.
Even though I stood there silently, the look in Mrs. Nancy's eyes was full of undisguised disgust and
disdain for me.
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"Yes," I answered after taking a deep breath
"What else did you ask me to say? What else do you want me to say? I don't know how shameless you
are to still stay here. "
Said Mrs. Nancy, grinding his teeth. Her face seemed somewhat distorted because of disgust and
anger.
"It was not until yesterday that I knew why you are so cheeky and where did you learn to steal. No
wonder that. Look who your mother is."
I tried to control my depression, maintain the proper courtesy, and said to Mrs. Nancy, "Mrs. Nancy, I'm
sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't know my mother would come here, and I am indeed
responsible for humiliating you in front of so many people. But I'm not like my mother. I know you think
I've stolen things. No matter whether you believe it, I want to tell you I didn't, and please don't think I've
stolen things. Please show me the slightest respect, and don't call me thief again. "
Mrs. Nancy snorted with disdain, "Respect? You're just a poor woman who could do anything for
money. You don't have any dignity at all? Do you deserve my respect? "
"Why not? Can't a poor woman have self-esteem? "
In the eyes of Mrs. Nancy, my reasonable rebuttal was extremely ridiculous.
"We both have a nose and a mouth, why I can live a rich life, while you are so poor? I tell you, it's
wrong to be poor. It's your incompetence but you can't accept your poverty. What's worse, you want to
stick to us like flies. You are shameless and lewd. "
"You want my respect? People like you have no value to be respected in front of us. Don't think you are
qualified to talk to me just because you are taking care of Rogelio now? In my eyes, you are just a low-
end maid. "
"You think you can ask me for respect just because you have a noble identity? You think you are really
my daughter-in-law? Let me tell you, that will never be possible. Our Luo family will never admit a lowly
and impure daughter-in-law like you. "
If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't have enough money to return to Robbie now, and if there wasn't
some unusual reaction of Rogelio just now, I wouldn't have listened to the constant reprimand from
Mrs. Nancy.
But later I often thought that if I left without thinking of anything at this time, perhaps we would all have
a different ending.
"Mom, what are you doing here in the early morning? Hi, sister-in-law, you are also here? I've been
looking for you. "
Suddenly, Rosie came in.
Mrs. Nancy gave Rosie a stern look. "Sister in law? You have been studying abroad for so many years,
why did you find a maid early in the morning?"
Rosie scratched her head. "Oh, my design samples have come out. I think Jasmine's body proportion
is quite good. I want her to try it on for me."
"There are so many people in the Luo family. Why do you have to ask her for help?"
With her mouth twitched, Rosie walked up to Mrs. Nancy and took her arm. "Then who else do you
want me to find? Maria? Fannie? Or Leo? I'm afraid that all my clothes will look like a clown when they
wear them. "
Exasperated, Mrs. Nancy gave Rosie a doting look. "Let me tell you. You'd better not lie to me. Don't
follow your brother's way of keeping this woman around. Didn't you see it yesterday? It's not a big
shame for me. But you haven't been married yet, and if people know what happened yesterday, our
family will become the laughingstock. It will affect your marriage, you know? What's more, didn't you
see yesterday that there was something wrong with this woman's behavior? How dare she dance with
another man at this time? "
"Mother, I danced with several people yesterday. Oh, so I didn't behave well as you said? What's more,
if someone don't marry me because of this kind of thing, I don't think it's a good idea of marrying him. "
Mrs. Nancy touched Rosie's head and said, "you are talking nonsense again. How can you compare
yourself with this kind of person? You know all those people. Does she know them? You are doing
social activities. She has ulterior motives. "
"All right, mother. I still have something urgent to deal with. I have to hang up now. I'll take her away."
Rosie winked at me, held my hand and took me out of Mrs. Nancy's room.
When Rosie came out, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you!"
"I'm sorry!"
Rosie and I almost blurted it out at the same time.
We looked at each other and smiled. There was a trace of helplessness in my smile. And there was a
trace of guilt in Rosie's eyes.
"Thank you for helping me out."
Rosie still held my hand, "I'm really sorry. My mom has always been like that. Her words are really
mean. If I were you, I might have already fought with her."
Anyway, I am deeply grateful to Rosie.
"Let's go, let's talk in another place."
Carla grabbed my hand and led me to her room. "Although I just made up the excuse, I think this
sudden idea is not bad."
Carla gave me a reassuring smile as we entered her room.
Rosie's room was girly at first sight. It was all baby pink. A round bed curtain fell from the ceiling and
the bed was arranged as a princess's.
But in front of the French window of her room, a model hanger caught my attention.
There was a very simple white strapless knee-length dress looked particularly elegant, with a few
butterflies dancing on the shoulders and side of the dress.
With white and green hair accessories, it looked like a fairy dress.
My eyes were glued to that coat for a long time.
After a while, Rosie asked, "how do you feel about it?"
"It's so beautiful."
"I agree with you. This is my best piece of work."
I didn't know if I had any admiration for her in my eyes at that time, but I did admire her.
"Come on. I want you to be my model."
Rosie walked to the model hanger and took off the dress.
However, I looked at the dress from Rosie and didn't receive it at once.
Rosie lovingly placed the dress on the bed beside her and said, "just have a try. Take it as a help."
In fact, I really like the design of Rosie. I hesitated for a while, but when I saw the sincere look in
Carla's eyes, I got up the courage to take off my own clothes and put it on.
Before I could look into the mirror, Rosie exclaimed, "it's so beautiful. That's what I feel. It should be the
feeling, the angel that head into the mortal world by mistake."
