Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Retirement

After saying that, Carmen looked at Mariana somewhat expectantly, waiting for her reaction.

Although this morning, Mariana did not allow him to inform Leopoldo, she did not expect Leopoldo to return in the afternoon.

Looking at Carmen, Mariana came down the stairs, approached her and frowned.

-Did you call Mr. Durán to ask him to return? Did you disobey my order?

The words were harsh, causing him to freeze for a moment before explaining:

-Miss, I did not call Mr. Durán, he came back suddenly.

That result was something Mariana had not expected.

Once again, his eyes fell on the person standing there, although they were speaking loudly, he did not turn his head, as if he had not heard them.

Mariana pursed her lips and asked:

-Carmen, I'm sorry.

Carmen waved her hand and said with a smile:

-It's all right. There's nothing left for me to do here, so I'm leaving.

After saying this, Carmen smiled, looked at Leopoldo and Mariana, and left.

Mariana approached Leopoldo and placed the tea on the table. Then she sat down across from him.

-Will you come with me to visit Grandma?

You couldn't tell the emotions in her words, and Mariana's expression was somewhat cold.

-Yes.

Leopoldo picked up his cup of tea and took a sip after answering.

Then, the two remained silent and Mariana did not know what to say for a while.

Lately I felt their relationship was going back and forth between distension and tension, sometimes very close and sometimes very far.

Although this man was so close to her, Mariana felt she could not touch him, as if there was a transparent shield between them, separating them.

-It is no longer early, let's go.

Hearing this, Leopold put down his cup of tea, stood up and spoke in a low voice:

-Okay.

The two of them bought a few things, then arrived at Grandma's house.

Just as they entered, Mariana was dragged in by Clara, smiled at Leopoldo and said:

-What are you laughing at?

Only after a while Mariana stopped, looked at Clara and said:

-Do you not know what I'm laughing at? Is that gossip more important than your own daughter? Or am I such a person in your eyes?

Mariana felt sad, as if she had a big hole in her chest and the icy winter wind was blowing uncontrollably, making her feel nothing but cold.

Mariana's words had a questioning sense, as if she was questioning her injustice, like sharp ice hitting her face hard.

Clara could not help but take a step back, frightened by Mariana's cold appearance.

However, after a few seconds, Clara looked at Mariana again with indifference.

-Don't change the subject, you are my daughter, that's why I don't want you to become what they say you are. Mari, leave this variety show.

As she said this, Clara stepped forward and took Mariana's hand.

However, Mariana looked at Clara in disbelief, pulled away the hand that held hers, and took half a step back.

-Mother, do you know what you are saying? I have come this far with great difficulty. For so many years I have had no one on whom I can depend, and you ask me to leave this program?

It was as if something had suddenly broken in his chest, falling to pieces, and cutting his heart again, to the point that he couldn't help but clench his hands, as if it was the only way to resist the pain.

-Mari, I do it for your own good, I don't want to see you like this, I just want you to have an ordinary and happy life. I don't expect anything else.
