“This house was indeed bought by your Petersen Family, but everything inside was furnished and decorated by me.”
From the hard furnishings to the soft furnishings, from small pots and pans to large furniture and appliances.
Everything was designed bit by bit based on my vision of a wonderful married life.
Gabriela’s mother, while feeling that I was extravagant and wasteful, also enjoyed the sense of superiority that came with my luxurious lifestyle.
Gabriela, on the other hand, rarely cared about what I truly cared about.
Even love was pitifully scarce.
I decorated the house to Gabriela's liking and portrayed myself as the kind of understanding and considerate husband she admired.
But an act was still an act.
"You spent money, but no one forced you to! Your things are in my house, shouldn't they be for people to use?”
“According to you, if anyone touches anything in the house, should we all have to pay you?!" Gabriela’s mother became more and more agitated.
Leon, who was standing to the side saying he was about to leave, pretended to be concerned and came over to help Gabriela’s mother.
"Auntie, don't get upset, please sit down."
