Chapter 218: I have nothing to wish for
Finally, Leopoldo got up and walked out of the darkness and out of the office.
The villa.
Mariana sat up in bed. She had complicated feelings.
Then he sighed and collapsed on the soft bed.
However, as she looked at the white ceiling, she felt confused. Her mind was blank.
Suddenly, the door of the room opened violently. Mariana was startled and sat up, and then she saw the tall figure standing in the doorway.
The light shone from behind the man, and his shadow on the floor extended to Mariana's bed.
Such a loud noise made Mariana's eyes widen in surprise. She was disconcerted. After a moment's hesitation, she asked quietly, "What's wrong?
Suddenly, she remembered the previous situation, when Leopoldo drunkenly burst into her room and pinned her against the bed. She couldn't help but step back cautiously, feeling even more nervous. Seeing her movements, Leopoldo narrowed his eyes. Unconsciously he wanted to get angry, but restrained himself.
Leopoldo entered the room and slowly approached the woman on the bed. Mariana could not escape or hide.
She couldn't help but pull back. Finally, Leopoldo stopped when she was about to reach the edge of the bed. He frowned, looked at her silently and said nothing.
The room was very quiet, which made her even more uneasy.
However, when Leopoldo approached, Mariana did not smell alcohol on him, which made her relax a little.
-Sal. I have something to tell you.
In the end, Leopoldo left.
Confused, Mariana looked at his back as he walked away. She remained dazed in bed for a long time before getting up, going to the living room and sitting on the sofa.
At this moment, Leopoldo was still wearing his suit. The tailored suit accentuated his strong figure. His tie was untied and his hair was a bit messy, but he looked more approachable than usual. Mariana's heart raced and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to look at him again. She asked in a low voice: -What's wrong?
-I have received the words you asked Lionel to report to me earlier.
His cold, hard words made Mariana shiver. She froze and then said: -Okay.
They both fell silent again.
-Is there anything you want to do recently, or any unfulfilled wishes?
Finally, it was Leopoldo who spoke first, breaking the silence.
Mariana felt the cold stare again. Leopoldo spoke in a repressed way, as if he was hiding countless emotions, but could not let them out. Hearing his words, Mariana looked up in surprise. They both looked deeply into each other's eyes. She couldn't help but indulge herself. When the nanny heard the sound of talking in the living room, she opened the door in a daze and peeked out, and saw this image.
Leopoldo and Mariana were sitting across from each other, and they looked at each other with affection. Leopoldo was very handsome and Mariana was very attractive, they seemed very well matched. The nanny froze and then became very happy. She hurried to close the door carefully. She planned to call Grandma tomorrow and quickly tell her about the progress of the relationship between Leopoldo and Mariana.
Mariana turned her head in a daze and felt her heart beating very fast.
She thought for a while and finally said, "I have no desire.
Leopoldo stared at Mariana and said in a low voice: -Lionel said that recently Zoraida contacted you and asked for your help for the Firmamento Orphanage. You have also been gathering supplies and making some preparations during this period of time. I can help you with this.
Mariana raised her head in surprise and looked at Leopoldo. She had not expected this matter to be discovered by him.
Although she was busy with work, she tried to find time to go to the Firmament Orphanage. She had once followed Zoraida there when she was a little girl.
Over the years, Zoraida had also constantly donated items to the Firmamento Orphanage. The last time she was sick and no one was home, it was also for this reason.
In the past, Zoraida had not spoken to her about these things. This time, the Firmamento Orphanage was in trouble, so she asked Mariana to help her.
He planned to send something, maybe it could help.
Leopoldo said firmly: "I am free tomorrow. I will go with you.
"Are you going to the Firmament Orphanage with me tomorrow?"
Then Leopoldo stood up and looked at Mariana thoughtfully.
In the end, he said nothing and left.
Mariana sat dazed on the sofa.
The next day, Mariana got up early and went downstairs. She saw Leopoldo sitting idly at the dining room table eating breakfast.
With his head bowed and a delicate cup of coffee in his hand, he looked relaxed and calm. He was eating and working on his computer at the same time.
The sound startled Leopoldo. He raised his head and saw Mariana slowly coming down the stairs.
The two looked at each other and then turned their heads.
At that moment, Carmen came out of the kitchen with a plate. When she saw Mariana, she smiled. She said quietly, "When Mr. Durán didn't go to work this morning, I knew he was waiting for you. Unexpectedly, I was right.
She looked at Mariana and then at Leopoldo, feeling very relieved.
Mariana sat uncomfortably, glanced at Leopoldo in front of her and then began to eat breakfast in silence.
When she put down the empty cup, Leopoldo also stopped looking at the computer screen.
-Let's go.
Mariana felt nervous and sweet. She nodded, picked up her suitcase and left with Leopoldo.
They headed for the Firmamento Orphanage. Mariana and Leopoldo stood at the entrance, staring at the wooden sign on the door with complicated thoughts. -Let's go inside.
Leopoldo opened the trunk and took out the objects that Mariana had brought this time.
