With that statement, she finally reached the door of her room, but before she could enter, her sight shifted at the opened room of Mateo. She wiped her fake tears and slowly walked there, and she saw Dalia and Rose cleaning the place.

She's about to turned away when she thinks that there's nothing special with what they're doing when she suddenly heard Isabella's name on their conversation.

Today, Mateo's mother asked her son to give her a short break from work, so she can accompany her on doing some shopping for the special dinner later with Ms. Linda and his son Nicholas. "Yes, Nerissa. I will get a way later so I can help you buy something for Aunt Cynthia as a peace offering.""I know that the roses you'd ruined are really priceless and important for her, but Aunt Cynthia has a good heart, I am sure that she can forgive you, especially after you've given her a gift," Isabella said encouragingly. For Nerissa it's already a waste of time proving herself to Mateo's mother, because Mateo and Isabella's already dating. She's just too lazy now to do any effort to make Mateo's mother like her, but she doesn't have a choice but to still fake her kindness because she's still living under Villanueva's.
