Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 265

The landlord felt really bad for letting Izabella do such a job. She had to work outdoors and it was quite hard.

The landlord just mentioned it casually, never thinking that Izabella would agree, but she said yes immediately.

"Alright then. But this job...", the landlord felt that it was really weird to have such a beautiful girl like Izabella to work like a cleaner.

"People should know their own capabilities. It's good enough that I can find a job here, especially since my hands don't seem to be able to do much else." Said Izabella.

Although some people suggested her to do easier jobs, like bookkeeping or helping in a restaurant, her hands could probably break all the dinnerware in the restaurant just by carrying a tray, and bookkeeping required handling cash, using a pen or computer, which her hands' dexterity just wasn't enough for.

With both hands crippled, doing anything was inconvenient. Izabella had no choice but to accept it.

The landlord knew the situation with her hands. For someone who trembled while eating, living a normal life was already a problem, let alone working properly.

Izabella had already heard enough comforting words, so the landlord directly talked about the salary, "The pay isn't high, and can be cashed out daily. However, daily wages will be a bit lower. Besides that, the person in charge said that they could sign a contract, and they will raise your salary after some time."

Signing a contract meant working for at least a year, and Izabella didn't have that much time.

"I'll skip the contract, since I can only work for two months at the moment." Said Izabella.

"Two months?" The landlord didn't know why she set such a hard deadline and asked with curiosity, "Do you have something else going on?"

"I'm pregnant." Said Izabella.

"What!" The landlord couldn't believe her eyes as she looked Izabella up and down. It was impossible to tell that she was pregnant at all. The she asked, "How many months for your pregnancy?"

"Three months," Izabella answered.

"And you're still working?" The landlord thought back to her own pregnancy. When she found out she was pregnant, her family took care of her and didn't even allow her to step foot in the kitchen.

And now, she looked at this woman, who was running around while being pregnant and looking for a job as a cleaner.

"Do you have any difficulties?" Asked the landlord.

"I still have some money saved up, but I can't rely on that forever. I want to save it because there will be a lot of expenses after the baby is born." Said Izabella.

That made sense, but the landlord didn't agree with her working.

"Do you have any pregnancy symptoms now?" Asked the landlord.

"Yeah, but I'm okay. I can eat and sleep." Said Izabella.

"That's because you're still in the early months." The landlord interrupted her, "Once you hit three months, your pregnancy symptoms will come out more. When I was pregnant with my two kids, I was constantly throwing up. Finally managed to endure it, then my belly grew really big. I could only sleep on my side since I couldn't breathe if I slept on my back. Also, carrying around those 20 extra pounds felt like carrying a huge rock, not to mention my legs swelling."

Izabella felt a bit scared listening to all this.

"Anyway, think it over carefully. Being a cleaner isn't easy, and it's smelly. Since you're already experiencing symptoms and throwing up, if you smell something bad, you'll throw up even more. If you can't eat and still have to work, your already weak body will hurt your baby." Said the landlord.

As soon as Izabella heard that it would affect her baby, she turned pale.
