Chapter 70: It's me you're drawing.
-Mariana, when you were a child, we gave you food and drink, but those things weren't worth anything,
and we don't want you to pay us.
When Lina finished speaking, Cecilia added with a smile:
-Yes, Mariana, you don't have to be like that, you even asked Leopoldo to send us so many things,
saying it's to thank us. There is no need to do that.
"Leopoldo?"
In an instant, Mariana understood what had happened.
It is true that I had not expected that, after hearing his words yesterday, Leopoldo would prepare so
many things to thank the neighbors of Patio Feliz.
Mariana's discomfort disappeared and now she was moved.
Mariana smiled and said:
-These things are to thank you for the care you gave me in my childhood, accept it.
At these words, Cecilia and Lina looked at each other and sighed again.
-When you were a child, every time I came here, you had bruises on your body, but you didn't cry. You
were just standing next to Zoraida holding her hand which provoked sympathy to us.
Hearing these words, the smile on Mariana's face gradually faded.
-It is already the past.
When the two noticed Mariana's sadness, they looked at her with sympathy. But in an instant they
replaced it with a smile.
-But it's good now, you have a good husband by your side, you won't suffer any more in the future.
Mariana froze for a moment. The words made her get slightly lost in her thoughts.
At that moment, Mariana suddenly heard moans.
Mariana took the fruits and plate that were in Lina and Cecilia's hands and said:
-It is possible that Zoraida is awake, I can't keep chatting with you.
Hearing this, Lina and Cecilia became a little worried and asked Mariana to come in quickly.
-Zoraida is the most important thing, come in, and we will leave.
After saying goodbye to Lina and Cecilia, Mariana returned to Zoraida's bed.
Zoraida had already woken up and was looking at Mariana.
-Zoraida, how are you?
-Mariana, is there another person in the house?
The voice was hoarse, but it was much better than before.
-Yes, Lina and Cecilia brought some food. We chatted for a while and now they are gone.
She felt sadness, Zoraida's eyes were full of sympathy:
-Life is not easy for them either.
Yes, all the people in the Happy Yard were good, but everyone's life was not easy.
Leopoldo came in the night.
Mariana put the fruit and the plate on the table. She cooked some eggs that the neighbors had brought
in the afternoon and prepared the soup for dinner.
Sitting at the table, Mariana secretly glanced at Leopoldo. Although he was under the dim light, her Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
nobility could be appreciated.
-These are the ones the neighbors brought today, all to thank you.
After thinking for a long time, Mariana said to Leopoldo:
-Thank you.
After saying that, she shook her head smiling, she had thanked Leopold many times in this period of
time.
Leopoldo was slowly chewing his food.
Seeing this scene, Mariana felt relieved. At first, she thought that Leopoldo would not eat these dishes,
but she did not expect him not to mind at all, which made Mariana feel comforted.
-You don't have to worry about your job. The director is a reasonable person, just stay here and take
care of Zoraida.
Hearing these words, Mariana's actions stopped and she answered yes. After a long while, she asked:
-Why are you helping me?
This question was on Mariana's mind and had puzzled her for a long time, but she could not find an
answer. They were married by agreement, and were not a real marriage, so why did Leopoldo help her
many times?
-There is no reason.
Mariana didn't believe it, and raised her head to look directly at the man next to her.
Leopoldo smiled sarcastically and deep eyes looked at Mariana,
-Do you think there is something in you that I covet?
These words pierced Mariana's soft heart like a needle, making her feel pain. She felt sad to hear
these words.
In the next instant, she panicked and looked away. Her body trembled slightly.
It was she herself who caused that humiliation. "Of course, the president of the Duran Group can't
covet anything in me."
The two finished their dinner in silence.
After washing the dishes, Mariana was a little tired and felt very uncomfortable.
But when he entered the room, he found Leopoldo sitting in front of his laptop, staring at the screen.
Mariana quickly stepped forward, closed the computer and hugged him. She panicked.
-It's me you're drawing," Leopoldo spoke confidently.
He stood up and put his hands in his pants pockets, looking at Mariana's white face.
With the computer in her hand, Mariana did not know what to answer.
In the photo, they were stargazing in the courtyard like the night before.
He did not close his computer out of negligence, he did not expect Leopoldo to see this photo.
-You should know that we are married only because of the agreement. I don't want to have any rumors
with you to affect the Durán Group.
Indeed, the marriage between them has been kept secret because it was not going to last for long.
The cold words stabbed straight into Mariana's soft heart like a dagger, instantly turning her face white.
After saying that, Leopoldo left.
Seeing her back gradually disappear, Mariana felt sad.
"Don't you want any scandal with me?"
"And the one with Andrea is what you want, isn't it?"
Mariana's body only felt cold.
