Chapter 26 Ingratiating Myself

• “Oh, it’s for Mom later.”
• Upon hearing this, Carson looked at me with plain appreciation. “You’re always so thoughtful.”
• Jolene’s expression turned disgruntled when she saw him commending me. However, she couldn’t do anything since she definitely wouldn’t be able to gain any favor from my mother-in-law were she to go and provoke her at this time. She must be very familiar with my mother-in-law’s temper, so she isn’t being all enthusiastic to trail along as usual and ask after her wellbeing to avoid getting into trouble herself. Meanwhile, I wasn’t ingratiating myself for merit. Rather, I’ve already figured out a way to teach her a lesson.
