After the woman had left, Miranda angrily got out of her car and went to confront her son. When Carlos saw her approaching, he asked in a calm tone, “Mom, why are you here?”
Looking at the woman’s receding figure, Miranda interrogated, “Did you give those heels as a gift to that woman?”

Miranda was keeping a close eye on him for her. Sighing, he reassured her, “Mom, please rest assured, and assure Debbie as well. I have no interest in any other woman. I only want my beloved wife.”
Miranda nodded satisfactorily.
“Okay. You go ahead with your work. I should get going now.”
“Okay, bye.”
Despite Carlos’ assurance, Miranda wasn’t going to let that woman go.

The woman was quite pretty. Miranda ordered a glass of sparkling water, while the nervous woman randomly pointed to an item on the drink List and said to the waiter, “This one, please.”
Miranda took a look at the item she had ordered. It was cappuccino—

Their orders were served very soon. The woman held her coffee cup in her trembling hands and took a sip. She was frightened by the strong aura emanating from Miranda. Just like Carlos, Miranda could easily scare people, even without saying anything.
“Hi, Aunt.” The woman finally broke the silence and greeted her.
Miranda snorted, “Aunt? Am I that close to you?”
The woman bowed down her head in embarrassment.
Miranda cut to the chase.
