Please behave My Lord

Chapter 208: Bone

"But why?"

"Why am I still living in that person's shadow for so many years?"

Clenching his hands into a fist, only when the sharp fingertips sank into the soft palm of the hand, the slightest pain arose, allowing him to slightly suppress the inner resentment.

Lifting her eyes, she looked at Diana, whose face was also deeply pale, and for some reason, Perla suddenly felt a slight pleasure welling up from the bottom of her heart. She should be watching from heaven right now, seeing how her son fell into the situation she was in that year, and would even end up like her!

With a laugh, Perla stood up, not looking for a second at the woman sitting at the dining room table, and turned to go upstairs.

In an instant, Diana was alone in the living room with the maids scattered around her, so unreal it seemed that anything could engulf her.

Standing, stunned, next to the black Maybach, Mariana looked at Leopoldo, who was already seated in the car, and hesitated a little, without getting into it immediately.

The shock she had just felt had dissipated and now Mariana had regained some of her composure.

-Why don't you go upstairs?

However, this calm was suddenly interrupted by the man's cold, harsh words, and Mariana's heart began to pound uncontrollably again.

In the end, Mariana still opened the car door.

The car drove away noisily and the two remained silent during the ride, Mariana pursed her lips and concentrated on looking ahead, trying to reduce his presence. They soon returned to the village.

Mariana followed Leopoldo into the living room, hesitating for a long time, but still speaking quietly:

-Today... Thank you.

She didn't really expect Leopoldo to speak up to help her at that moment.

An icy snort came from the front, sinking over Mariana's soft cochlea, making her body shiver slightly.

-I hope that next time you won't let me solve the problems you have with those men. Of course, you must also be clear, I don't like betrayal.

The faint atmosphere of warmth that the two had had before fiercely disappeared in this instant, as if it had never existed.

-Do you think I embarrassed you today? O...

Although Leopoldo said so, Mariana could not help but ask again.

But before she could finish speaking, Leopoldo had already turned around quickly and took two quick steps, standing in front of her and looking at her.

The corners of his mouth curved into a cruel smile, and only at that moment did Mariana clearly see the open anger and undisguised disgust in Leopoldo's cold, stern eyes. -Naturally, it's a shame! Do you think I'm protecting you? Don't make a fool of yourself.

The words were like ice thorns stabbing Mariana's body, penetrating deep into her bones and making her uncomfortable.

Suddenly, his throat seemed to be strangled by something, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Suddenly, her cell phone rang, Mariana saw Leopoldo frowned, pulled out the phone and picked it up.

-Diana? What is it?

The tone had changed from indifference to a slight softness, like the ice and snow of winter melting quietly in early spring, waiting for the earth to recover.

The corners of her mouth curved into a mocking smile, as if Mariana had heard something suddenly break, like the sound of a glass suddenly shattering and collapsing, with a bit of intolerance.

With one last glance at the pale woman, Leopold's brows furrowed and his eyes glinted with a hint of something strange, then he walked upstairs with his phone in his hand.

When he reached his room, Leopold went to the window and looked out into the deep darkness of the night, his mind haunted by the woman's pale face, which would not go away. This feeling made him uncomfortable.

Diana's apologetic voice came out of the cell phone receiver, snapping Leopoldo out of that kind of dissimilarity.

-Leo, I'm sorry, it seems I shouldn't have come today, it's my fault for disturbing your family reunion, and it seems I said something wrong, making the Lord misunderstand Mariana. The words were bitter, with a hint of unease and self-blame, falling hard on Leopold's ears.

Only after a long while did he pursed his lips and spoke,

-Nothing.

-Besides, when the Lord asked you about the matter of Elamorad, I took it upon myself to defend you and I said a few words, if I let Mariana misinterpret it, it would not be good. With a tremor in his heart, Leopoldo lowered his eyes and spoke in a cold voice,

-No problem, you can't be blamed for this matter, you are worried about me.

After a pause, Leopoldo still said:

-But Diana, I can work things out, I don't need you to help me like this, and I'm not who I used to be, the Durán Family can't restrict me.

After that incident, he took over Grupo Durán step by step, and thus put it firmly in his hands. Even if Juan remained the majority shareholder of Grupo Durán, so what? Today, Grupo Durán could leave anyone but he alone could not!

Diana's heart trembled as her eyes glistened slightly, she had not expected Leopoldo to say such words.

However, after a slight daze, Diana's heart pounded at the man's wild words, as if the blood in her body had also awakened, with a slight fervor.

That must have been what the man she had fallen in love with was like.

-Leo, it's great that you don't blame me. After you left with Mariana, the master thought it was because of my words that made you angry, so he reprimanded me, and then Perla had the maid send me away, Leo, I didn't expect it either.

The words were filled with sadness and a bit of uncertainty.

Leopoldo could not help but speak coldly,

-Diana, you don't have to take those people seriously. I will definitely help you recover from the wrongs you have suffered today!

In his mind, those people were not his families at all.

The corners of her mouth curved into a slight smile, and Diana couldn't help but be proud. She had just pushed this on Juan and Perla, and it had awakened Leopoldo's affection for her. This was what I wanted.

-Leo, I don't care, they may have misunderstood, it's okay, I don't care about anyone but you. Okay, Leo, I'll call you to talk about this, it's good that you're not mad at me.

Leopoldo looked out the window and also spoke quietly, -Goodbye.

They both hung up the phone.

The long figure was still standing by the window, feeling the cool evening breeze blowing on his face, as if it could blow away the jumbled images in his mind.
