Please behave My Lord

Chapter 207: So lovely

Diana placed her hand on Leopoldo's large palm with a slight tinge of gentleness on her face.

-Sir, you can understand from the name of the company Elamorad, can't you? This is something like the demonstration of love between Leo and me. At that moment... everything was good.

The last sentence was tinged with a deep sigh, regret, disbelief and a bit of confusion.

The man turned his head, eyebrows deeply furrowed, looked at Diana and finally said nothing.

The image of the two of them looking at each other intimately then fell discreetly into Mariana's eyes, and her heart trembled hard as the words that seemed to carry sharp thorns fell heavily on Mariana's ears. At this point, Juan frowned looking at Diana and Leopoldo, and after a long time, he still nodded and decided to believe.

-If that's the case, then it doesn't matter.

Now that Grupo Durán was in Leopoldo's hands, the father was relieved, except that it seemed he was not yet at the point where he could put it all behind him.

Disappointed, Perla turned around and settled next to Mariana. She did not expect that something like this could be easily solved by Leopoldo.

As everyone continued eating, Diana looked at Mariana, whose face was somber, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile,

-Sir, weren't we talking about Mariana? I say so much just for you to praise Mariana, but I didn't expect the subject to change.

There was a pause, and then Diana smiled at Mariana with a slightly different meaning.

Mariana not only has an outstanding design, but she is also very kind - even my cousin Andrea couldn't stop praising her before! And Mariana is also very close to Xavier Bolaño, and to Rafael, the son of the Borges family, I didn't expect Mariana to remain so charming despite being married!

With a simple, friendly smile on her face, Diana looked at Juan.

-Bang!

A loud bang sounded in the silent dining room table as Juan forcefully brought down the fork in his hands and smashed them against the glass table, as if they had struck Mariana's heart.

The corners of Diana's mouth hooked into a slight smile, her eyes flashed a bit of pride and contempt very quickly, but her face suddenly showed an expression of surprise and fear. -Mari, is it true what Diana said?

Looking at Diana, Perla lifted the tall glass from the side and gently took a sip, hiding the mocking meaning on her face.

The cold eyes rested firmly on Mariana, and Juan's face was somber, tinged with anger.

At first, when Leopoldo wanted to marry Mariana, even though he was against it, Leopoldo did not listen to him and insisted on doing so. Later, seeing how Mariana was in the family, the father finally accepted her.

After all, although she did not come from a famous family, she had good manners and a good education, and most importantly, she was not the type of woman who only knew how to trust men. And with her talent and aptitude for design, Mariana worked in a good and well-known design firm.

However, he did not agree to her flirting with other men!

After looking at the contentment in Diana's eyes, Mariana stood up, looked at Juan and spoke softly,

-Dad, they're just my friends.

However, these words seemed so useless at the moment.

-Really? Mariana? Didn't Rafael send you flowers? And I heard he even brought out a big diamond ring.

After saying that, Diana pretended to react to everything and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her mouth, her eyes shining with fear and worry.

Waving her hands, Diana said to Juan and Perla,

-I just want to say that Mariana is pretty and attractive, Sir, maybe that is not so?

The corners of her mouth hooked into a slight mocking arch, Mariana raised her head, looked at the hypocritical Diana and spoke in a deep voice,

-Dad, Xavier is just a friend of mine, and Rafael is someone I don't know. I don't understand what he did either.

He looked at Mariana fixedly, Juan said nothing.

-Let's eat.

Only then Leopoldo, who had not spoken from the beginning, said lightly.

After he spoke, the room fell silent, but Juan kept looking at Mariana, obviously not approving of what she had said. Then he looked at Leopoldo helplessly and let out a deep sigh. -Leo, some things can't be ignored, you...

Before Juan could finish, Leopoldo had already raised his head, a pair of cold eyes staring directly at Juan.

-I'll take care of my own wife, so I won't bother you with this.

His tone was very harsh, then he stood up, turned to leave.

After walking two steps, the tall figure stopped suddenly, looking back, and spoke in a cold voice:

-You're not leaving yet?

At that moment, Mariana's heart fluttered and she involuntarily stood up, looking at the man, her eyes shining with deep meaning. At this moment, even though Diana was also here, she knew that the person Leopoldo was talking about was her!

Rising quickly, Mariana spoke in a low voice,

-I'll go first.

After saying that, he quickly followed.

The small, slender figure also followed behind the man, it was a very striking scene.

Diana couldn't help but clench her hands tightly together, her teeth clenched tightly before she could barely contain the overwhelming anger that poured out of her chest.

Stunned by Leopoldo's stare, Juan froze in place, his mind instantly recalling the woman who had left so long ago. It was a problem that could never be solved between him and Leopoldo. Juan stood up, his eyes dazed, and weakly uttered a sentence,

-You eat.

And he climbed the stairs.

His back had a weird depressed feeling, as if he was nostalgic and resentful about something. Looking at Juan's back, Perla's eyes were filled with hatred, "Juan must be thinking to that bitch!" "But that bitch is already dead!"
