Chapter 24 Animosity

• Sure enough, my mother-in-law now looked at Jolene differently, the look in her eyes vicious. However, this wasn’t my sole purpose in coming on this day. Carson has never treated me as well in the past several years we’d been married. Since he’s so generous with his mistress, I have to take him to the cleaners. After saying that, I turned to Carson and said in a half-joking tone, “Hubby, you’re a miser compared to Jolene’s boyfriend. After all, you’ve never given me anything all these years.”
• This remark had Carson forcing an incredibly awkward smile. “Just tell me what you like, and I’ll buy it for you.”
• “Really?” I feigned an expression of surprise. “I like jade. Hubby, just give me a set of jade jewelry! It’s best if it’s similar to my mother’s set.”
