Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

“Darling… how are you? Are you feeling well?”

In the evening, Savana deliberately took the time to visit Alex’s house. Not to see her son or Aurora, but to check on Nicole’s condition, who was suspected to be pregnant with her grandchild.

Savana seemed very happy. She even brought many snacks and fruits to give to Nicole.

“My pregnancy is fine, Mom. Physically, I’m healthy. But mentally, I’m not.”

Savana immediately frowned. Overall, Nicole seemed fine. So why did she say her mental health wasn’t good? Was her new daughter-in-law feeling stressed during her stay with Alex and Aurora?

“Why are you not feeling well? What’s wrong, dear? Do you have any problems?”

“I’m not happy living here.”

“Why is that?” Savana pursued, becoming more curious. “Why aren’t you happy?”

“It’s all because of Aurora, Mom…”

Nicole’s lips curled. Her spoiled behavior clearly showed she wanted attention. And knowing that Savana would defend her, Nicole became even more presumptuous.

“What’s wrong with Aurora? What did she do?”Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Aurora is annoying. She told the household staff not to serve me here. Mom, you should know. If I want to eat, I even have to buy it myself. Can you believe it? A pregnant woman has to buy her food every day. That’s not healthy.”

“Outrageous!”

Savana was angry. She couldn’t accept Aurora mistreating Nicole so unfairly. Especially since Savana knew Nicole was pregnant and needed more attention.

“Don’t worry…” Savana continued. “I’ll talk to Aurora. I’ll ask her to show more respect and care for you. Besides, you’re a guest here. She should behave politely.”

Nicole nodded happily. Glad that Savana defended her. As long as her future mother-in-law was there, she could behave more outrageously.

“Also, why are you wearing such tight clothes while pregnant? Is your pregnancy okay?”

Savana approached. She pulled at the two-piece outfit Nicole was wearing. It looked tight and sexy. Far from the usual attire pregnant women usually wear.

“I mean, this is Nicole’s first pregnancy. Plus, Nicole’s clothes are always like this. Even if she wanted to buy, she hasn’t had the chance. Alex is always busy at the office.”

Savana sighed. She pulled Nicole up from her seat.

“Come, come with me. Let’s go to Aurora’s room.”

“What for?”

“You’ll see.”

Savana then invited Nicole to go up to the second floor. Without any hesitation, she entered Aurora’s room, which was never locked. Walking towards the wardrobe, she then searched for something to give to Nicole.

This wasn’t the first time Savana had entered Aurora’s room without permission. Long before the commotion that happened in her son’s household, whenever Savana stayed at Aurora’s house, she often entered and inspected her daughter-in-law’s room.

She didn’t know what she was looking for and checking. Sometimes, she checked clothes, bag collections, or items Aurora had recently bought. If she liked something, she would then pester Alex to buy it for her.

“Here, try wearing this.”

After opening the wardrobe and inspecting Aurora’s collection of clothes one by one, Savana picked out a silk nightgown, which, upon closer inspection, must have been very expensive.

Savana thought that instead of Nicole wearing tight and expensive clothes that might make her unborn grandchild uncomfortable, it would be better to give her Aurora’s clothes. After all, her daughter-in-law had plenty of them.

“Nicole? Can you wear Aurora’s clothes?”

Savana nodded casually.

“Even her husband you can take. Let alone just clothes like this. Besides, Aurora is rich. If you take three at once, she won’t suddenly become poor.”

Nicole smiled. She liked how Savana paid attention to her and always supported her.

“In that case, just get me three. So, Nicole won’t need to buy anything anymore.”

Without much thought, Savana then looked through the wardrobe again. She found the best sleepwear and gave it to Nicole.

“Here. You take and keep them. If you need more, you can just take them yourself tomorrow. Don’t worry. If Aurora gets mad, tell Mama.”

Nicole cheered happily. She took the clothes given by Savana and immediately put them on. She thought, maybe tonight Alex could be tempted again after seeing her wearing expensive clothes.

“Alright, you go shower quickly. After that, we’ll get ready for dinner.”

While Nicole was showering, Savana conducted an inspection. She checked every room there. After finishing, she went to the dining room to wait for dinner.

Minutes later, Nicole followed. Sitting down, she engaged Savana in conversation. At seven in the evening, Aurora, who had just returned from work, passed through the dining room. Her steps halted when Savana addressed her.

“How dare you come home this late. No wonder Alex has moved on to another woman.”

Aurora turned abruptly. Looking towards Savana and Nicole sitting there, she then approached. She looked at her cousin when she sensed something familiar.

“Doctor’s schedule, Ma. I leave early and come home late to earn a halal living by helping patients.”

“Excuses!” Savana interjected.

“Not excuses. That’s how all doctors are. What else can I do? Aurora is too honorable to disturb someone else’s husband. Especially to hope to earn a lot of money by disrupting someone else’s household.”

“Aurora, you-”

Aurora smiled broadly. Her direct sarcasm succeeded in getting a reaction from Nicole. But before Nicole could protest, Aurora chose to leave first.

“See, Mama, Aurora’s behavior speaks for itself. Because of her behavior and words, Nicole doesn’t feel comfortable staying here.”

Savana nodded in understanding. She tried to calm Nicole down so she wouldn’t get upset. It’s pitiful for her unborn grandchild if the mother gets stressed like this.

“Alright, you just be patient for now. Mama will be the one to take revenge on Aurora for you.”

Thirty minutes later, Aurora was seen coming down from the second floor in clothes so neatly arranged as if she was about to leave. However, as she turned towards the door, Savana hurriedly stopped her. The middle-aged woman called out, as if there was something important she had to convey right away.

“Aurora, where are you going?”

Aurora turned around. With a relaxed look, she responded to her mother-in-law’s question.

“I’m going out to find something to eat.”

“What did you say? Finding something to eat?”

Aurora nodded. She didn’t lie at all. She wanted to leave immediately because she intended to have dinner outside with Vennia. Besides, she was too lazy to see annoying people gathering in her house.

“Yes. Coincidentally, Aurora wants to eat seafood or Chinese food tonight.”

“So, you’re going out without preparing dinner for Mama, Nicole, and Alex?”

Aurora laughed. She was amused by Savana’s words.

“Why should Aurora cook and prepare dinner?”

“Why did you say that?”

Aurora nodded this time.

“Yes. Aurora isn’t a maid. Besides, how much would Mama pay to have Aurora cook? Mama’s daughter-in-law now is Nicole. So, let her serve. Cook for the future mother-in-law and future husband. Don’t act like a queen whose only intelligence is in the bedroom.”

“Aurora, you’re out of line!”

Savana grumbled. She was irritated by Aurora’s response.

“Who’s out of line? If Mama feels bad asking her daughter-in-law to cook, then just buy food outside. That is, if you have money.”

Aurora then turned to Nicole. She flashed a sweet smile before leaving for real.

“You want to be the mistress of the house, right? Feel free to use the kitchen however you want. Learn to cook to welcome your husband and in-laws. Don’t be spoiled!”

Nicole wanted to retort. But before she could, Aurora pointed her finger and spoke again.

“Oh, and that dress you’re wearing, it looks good. I’ve stopped wearing it because I got bored. Besides
