The old lady's acting.

The steps seemed incredibly long in Aurora Morales' eyes. She looked around. Since she had been indoors when she arrived yesterday, she had no idea what the outside looked like. Compared to this place, her Morales family was really a small and humble one.

The five - storey villa had a simple decoration. Just like the bedroom, it was in a minimalist black - and - white style, which looked a bit cold and lacked the feeling of home. However, every piece of furniture placed here, even a seemingly ordinary vase, was of great value.

There were quite a few servants coming and going. When they saw the couple, they respectfully addressed them, "Young Master, Madam."

Aurora Morales greeted them with a smile all the way.

"The dining room is just around the front left," Ricardo Vargas said suddenly. At his words, Aurora Morales, who had just started walking, instinctively looked up. Unexpectedly, she slipped under her feet, missed a step, and fell forward.

Ricardo Vargas frowned slightly, stretched out his long arm, and easily caught her in his arms. The faint fragrance of the woman seemed to fly into his breath, refreshing his heart.

"Be careful."

Aurora Morales steadied herself, her heart pounding erratically. "Thank you."

Ricardo Vargas withdrew his hand, his expression natural. Little did they know that this scene had completely fallen into the eyes of the old grandmother in the dining room.

She grabbed her chopsticks excitedly and said happily to Don José, "Great! Great! Did you see that? Did you see that?" Don José smiled helplessly, "I saw it, Madam. Please don't get too excited."

"If anyone ever doubts that my grandson likes boys again, I'll turn him into a girl for real!" the old grandmother snorted proudly. "Hurry up and call them over to sit down. Don't just stand there."

Don José walked over and said with a smile, "Young Master, Madam, the old Madam is calling you." Aurora Morales nodded.

Don José smiled and said, "Madam, I'm the housekeeper of the Vargas family. You can call me Don José. The old Madam has a very gentle personality. Don't be afraid."

His reassurance made Aurora Morales smile softly. "Okay, Don José." After walking around, she saw an old grandmother with gray hair sitting in the dining room. She looked very kind.

The old grandmother was smiling and looking at Aurora Morales with eyes full of appreciation and love.

"Come here, girl."

Aurora Morales walked over obediently and was held by the hand by her.

Aurora Morales said apologetically, "Hello, Grandma. I'm Aurora Morales. I'm really sorry. I got up a bit late and kept you waiting."

The old Madam waved her hand indifferently and said in a considerate tone, "I understand. I understand. Yesterday was your wedding night. It's inevitable that you're tired. It's normal to sleep a little longer."

Aurora Morales' face turned red. Remembering what Ricardo Vargas had done last night and the noise outside the door, she immediately realized that the old Madam had been eavesdropping outside. However... the old Madam's words were really quite... quite bold.

"Besides, why get up so early? Our Vargas family's granddaughter - in - law can sleep until whenever she wants. As long as she gets up and chats with this old woman of mine, that's fine," the old Madam said cheerfully.

Aurora Morales nodded, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Seeing this elder, she couldn't help but think of her late grandmother. They were both equally kind and warm.

"Okay, Grandma." As she spoke, Ricardo Vargas had already sat down.

The old Madam said unhappily, "Ricardo, look at you. You don't know how to take care of your wife at all. Your wife hasn't sat down yet, and you're already sitting. Hurry up and pull the chair out for her."

Aurora Morales waved her hands repeatedly. "Grandma, it's okay. I can do it myself."

Unexpectedly, Ricardo Vargas was very obedient to the old Madam. He really got up and pulled out the chair next to him.

"Go ahead, granddaughter - in - law. Sit next to Ricardo."

As soon as they were seated, the servants brought the food. A bowl of soup was specially placed in front of Ricardo Vargas. It was steaming hot, and the smell wafted over.

Aurora Morales took a sip of porridge and sniffed. She thought the smell was a bit strong.

Ricardo Vargas frowned, his face showing displeasure. He asked coldly, "What is this?"

The old Madam patted his hand. "Ricardo, Grandma knows you were tired last night. I got up early specially and asked someone to make this soup for you. Drink it quickly to tonify your kidneys. Maybe you can add a descendant to the Vargas family in the future."

Ricardo Vargas: "..."

Aurora Morales coughed twice and quickly covered her lips with a tissue. The old Madam noticed her. "Aurora, don't just sit there. Hurry up and feed Ricardo a few mouthfuls."

The spoon in Aurora Morales' hand dropped into the bowl with a "clatter". "Ah? Feed... feed him?" Didn't he have hands?

"Hey, this kind of interaction can improve the relationship between you two," the old Madam said, concerned. Aurora Morales looked at Ricardo Vargas hesitantly, biting her red lips with her white teeth.

"Quickly!" the old Madam urged.

Aurora Morales was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her hesitation, Ricardo Vargas said coldly, "I don't want to drink this."

"You ungrateful brat. This is a great tonic! Don't be so unappreciative," the old Madam scolded gently. "Aurora, since he doesn't know its value, you drink it. It's good for your health too."

"I... I..." Aurora Morales didn't expect Ricardo Vargas to shift the problem to her. She had to take a sip. The taste rushed straight into her throat, making her cough. Just as she was about to take a second sip, Ricardo Vargas suddenly said, "Feed me."

"Ah? Oh!" Aurora Morales quickly picked up the spoon and put it to Ricardo Vargas' lips.

Don José was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. "Madam, the Young Master has..." The words "a cleanliness obsession" hadn't even been said when he saw Ricardo Vargas drink without the slightest hesitation. Don José was dumbfounded. That was the spoon Aurora Morales had used, and he actually... actually drank from it?

A touch of relief flashed in the old Madam's eyes. Her grandson had finally grown up! He had finally met the girl he liked!

Aurora Morales looked at Don José in confusion. "Don José, what were you going to say?" Don José shook his head repeatedly. "Nothing... nothing."

After the meal, Aurora Morales offered to go out and buy some daily necessities.

The old Madam frowned after hearing this. "Aurora, this time we were in a hurry to marry you in, and we didn't prepare anything at home."

"It's okay. I can just get familiar with the terrain around here. That's fine," Aurora Morales said with a faint smile. The old Madam nodded and looked at Ricardo Vargas, who was about to go upstairs. "Ricardo, you go with Aurora."

Aurora Morales knew that Ricardo Vargas, with his disfigured face, surely didn't like going out and didn't want people to see his face. She quickly came to Ricardo Vargas' rescue. "Grandma, I can go by myself. Let Ricardo stay at home."

"How can that be? You're Ricardo's wife, and you've just moved in. How can I let you go alone? Right, Ricardo?" the old Madam asked.

Ricardo Vargas tightened his grip on the handrail a little. "Grandma, I'm busy."

"If you're busy, you... Oh! Oh, my heart! My heart hurts..." The old Madam's words stopped abruptly. She covered her chest and fell backward.

Aurora Morales was so frightened that her face turned pale. This sudden scene seemed to bring her back to the scene when her grandmother passed away four years ago. Cold sweat instantly appeared on her back, soaking it in an instant.

Aurora Morales quickly supported the old Madam, her voice trembling. "Mr. Ricardo! Mr. Ricardo, call 120 quickly!"

Ricardo Vargas rubbed his temples, looking at the old Madam's tried - and - true trick. "Aurora Morales, let's go."

The old Madam straightened up, and her heart didn't hurt anymore. "Go, my dear granddaughter - in - law!"

Aurora Morales: "?"
