"I don't care about that, just don't say another disrespectful word to my dear daughter, that's all I ask." Mr. Mateo said and then took Aida away from there.
"I apologize for their harsh words to you." Mr. Mateo said to her as they walked away.
"It's fine dad, let them talk but we both know it's untrue." Aida said still smiling and Mr. Mateo felt good to see her like that, he squeezed her hand softly in his.
"The witch is here." Miss Araceli said after seeing Aida with Mr. Mateo, she went and informed her sister but Mrs. Sofia cautioned her and pleaded that she doesn't do anything that will ruin her husband's birthday party and so Araceli had no choice but to concur and stay quiet.
