Chapter 9

"What?" Maria Linda was shocked to the point of being dumbfounded.

Gambling again! Debt again! Why can't she let her live peacefully, for the past twenty years she has been acting like crazy, every month has to send money to her parents, she can't take care of herself now, how do I want her to live? ?

"I don't know, I want to think of a way! Also, your sister from H city is coming to your place soon. I have already sent your sister the address, it will probably come the day after tomorrow, remember to let her stay at home and find a job for her!"

After saying that, she hung up the phone, not giving Maria Linda a chance to say a word.

She stared at the phone screen, suddenly feeling like she was going to collapse.

Her family has two daughters, the eldest sister Aboli Linda is three years older than her, who works in another city, and she lives in city A. The two of you have not been in touch for a long time, and now suddenly want to run to her, what do you mean? Also, a few days ago, Madam Leona brought her back to the Leona family, and sent someone to the inn to pay and bring her necessary things here. Are you still at the old address?

Immediately, Maria Linda fell into a deadlock situation, not knowing what to do.

Maria Linda sat on the bed staring at the phone screen, silently crying. She has been trying to be strong for many years to serve her family, she doesn't know when she will be able to get out of this miserable life.

When I was a child, my parents always loved my sister more, when my sister was dressed beautifully, all her clothes were discarded. Aboli Linda also considers that to be an obvious matter, what she doesn't like will be thrown away for her to use.

Maria Linda once thought that she was not the biological child of her parents, because they really did not treat her like raising children, but like raising a tree to make money.

She wiped her tears with her hand, the more she tried to hold back, the more tears fell.

Don't cry, don't be sad. Maria Linda, you are alone, no one will comfort you. Crying is also useless!

Maria Linda ran to the toilet, splashed water on her face to wake up, and then fixed the problem.

"Dad needs money, within three days… Mom didn't say how much just now."

She remembered her mother's words and quickly texted her to ask her a question. About her sister, she didn't know what to do for the time being, because she was staying at someone else's house.

After receiving the number that her mother needed, Maria Linda was even more stunned. Ten thousand? What? Ten thousand dollars? Do they think you can make money in the city just by breathing...

Maria Linda helplessly did not want to think anymore, she wiped her tears and walked out.

Tonight because Maria Linda had just returned from an antenatal check-up, Darius Leona was also informed by his mother, he returned earlier than usual. As soon as he entered the room, he saw that Maria Linda's eye sockets were red.

She looked at him startled and then turned away, embarrassed to ask:

"You're back. I thought you had to work until evening."

That's normal, but he's been coming home a little more often lately.

Darius Leona asked neither fast nor slow:

"How is that?"

"Nothing." Maria Linda gently rubbed her eyes with her hand, went straight to the window and looked out. She took a few deep breaths to hide her soft sobs, but her trembling shoulders still sold her.

Darius Leona said coldly:

"If something happens, tell me. I don't like that pathetic crying face of yours."

So that's it, Maria Linda, do you still dream that he will care about you? I just don't like seeing you appear in front of him with a sad face.

Maria Linda reassured herself and turned around, at this time she tried to smile at him, saying:

"It's not that important." Smiled at him, said:

"It's not that important."

If you borrow money from him, will he lend it to you? She doesn't know anymore.

Darius Leona hated the way she pretended to be strong, he said bluntly:

"What do you need help with? Say. Stress will affect the baby."

Having gradually gotten used to his way of talking, Maria Linda was silent for a while, then said:

"I need money."

"YES. You've said it once before." Darius Leona calmly looked at her. "If your health is better tomorrow, I will take you to the company."

Maria Linda wanted to say it again, and struggled for a while before asking him:

"Can I advance my salary?"

Indeed, this person always finds opportunities to mock her:

"I still don't know what her abilities are. Do you still have the face to ask for a salary first?"

"Aren't you very rich?" Maria Linda asked again.

She can only rely on him, although her friends treat her well, they can't lend her money, because they are basically all like her, struggling to make a living.

Darius Leona looked at the corner of her tear-stained eyes, paused for a moment, then hummed.

"Okay, give me the advance."

He took off his jacket, then reached out to loosen his tie a little. The company hasn't been busy these past few days, but his fiancée texted to make an appointment to go out, making him very upset. When he came home, he still met Maria Linda, all frustrations would of course fall on her head.

Maria Linda went over to help him hang up his coat, then looked at him awkwardly:

"I need ten thousand dollars."

Open mouth is money, women of this era are very pragmatic. Darius Leona did not look at her and said:

"I know."

He showered, then went to bed first, didn't talk, didn't ask anything about the baby in her belly if it was healthy or not. I'm tired of hearing women talk about money. All the people who chased after him were only because of his looks and background, a person he hadn't really seen.

Maria Linda only mentioned money, then did not dare to bother Darius Leona anymore. Maybe she should leave it to tomorrow?

She had a heavy heart to climb onto the bed. Today, she learned from experience, so the movement is very gentle.

After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Maria Linda was woken up by Darius Leona's alarm. He woke up on time, no need to call, at this time someone brought clothes for him.

Maria Linda hastily brought out the clothes from the closet, yesterday she also thought carefully about what to wear, a stylish light pink shirt, a black A-line skirt. Although simple, but all of them are branded. expensive. She had brought some from her dressing room for convenience.

When she was about to change clothes, she suddenly saw Darius Leona standing in the room adjusting the tie and vest.

She hugged her skirt and wanted to go to the bathroom, but he stopped her with his hand:

"Let's go here instead. Into the bathroom with a lot of water, I'm afraid you slip."

Maria Linda looked at him, wondering what the hell is this reason?
