Chapter 23: Don'T Forget Your Identity

Chapter 23: Don't forget your identity

Leopold's body stiffened slightly, and the hostility under his eyes gradually dissipated. He looked at the

hand the woman was holding tightly, as if thinking about something.

Mariana gave him a slight smile, and then said without panic:

-Dad, Leo has done quite well in the company.

-Ugh, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously, Mari.

Without waiting for Leo's father to respond, Perla hurried to say, barely keeping a smile on her face.

Juan had a good impression of his daughter-in-law, and Perla was not stupid enough to provoke

Mariana.

-Leo, you should come home more often when you are free, your father and I miss you, and I also want

to do my duty as a mother," said Perla with feigned sympathy.

Leopold looked up slightly, and stared indifferently at Perla, but had no intention of speaking to her.

-Pearl is talking to you, are you deaf or what? -asked Juan, angry, when he saw how indifferent

Leopoldo was.

-Yes.

Leopoldo nodded his head, without changing his expression. You couldn't see the good or bad in his

mood.

It was Mariana who was a little anxious. She looked at the serene and stern man beside her and

hurried to say:

-Dad, Leo is not feeling well today.

As expected, after hearing Mariana's words, Leo's father said nothing more.

She sighed in secret relief, picked up the glass she had on hand and handed it to Leopoldo:

-Drink some water, you are already very tired today.

Leopoldo looked at her and you could tell that a glint of imperceptible emotion shone in his eyes.

Mariana looked up and met those deep, cold eyes.

He hurriedly averted his eyes, his heart beating slightly faster.

Leopoldo took the glass of water from his hand and took a few sips, and his depressed mood seemed

to have calmed down a bit.

-Juan, don't get angry. Leo's character is like that, you don't need to get so upset. I'm used to it.

Perla stood up and stopped Leopoldo's father, who wanted to lecture Leopoldo, but her words were like

adding fuel to the fire.

Mariana couldn't help but grimace inwardly, thinking that this Pearl was really as sly as a slut.

Perla clearly knew that Leopoldo had lost his mother, but she still liked to mention his mother in front of

him, wasn't this an intentional provocation?

-Ma'am, there are many things to do in the company, Leo is usually in the company working, and even

he doesn't have much time to be with me. It's really not that I don't want to visit them," Mariana said in

a tender voice.

Without waiting for Perla to respond, he spoke again:

-Grupo Duran is a big company after all, Leo is busy every day for work. We just got off work and

rushed to come, please madam, understand Leo a little bit.

Mariana didn't back down at all, for some reason she didn't want others to speak ill of Leopoldo,

especially such a blatant provocation as Perla's.

-It's just that...

Perla was instantly speechless, she had never argued with Mariana, although she didn't like the girl.

Mariana had never contradicted her either, and this sudden situation made her speechless.

-Let's eat.

Leopoldo said indifferently, he really didn't want to listen to this woman, he just wanted to finish this

dinner, he had tried not to embarrass her as much as possible, if she insisted on bothering him, he

would show her no mercy.

-Well, let's eat.

Perla was quick to say, not expecting Leopoldo to take the initiative to get her out of this embarrassing

situation, which was something that had never happened.

At the table, each of the four had something on their minds, and after half an hour, the awkward scene

finally ended.

On the way back, Mariana looked out the car window, another unhappy reunion.

He looked at the man next to him, but since it was night, he could not see Leopold's face clearly and

did not know his expression at that moment.

-It's just that...

-Don't forget your identity.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, Mariana looked at him in confusion, only to see the man park the

car in front of the villa, fingers tapping the steering wheel.

-Mariana, do you think I will thank you? -Leopoldo asked coldly.

-I didn't want to...

Mariana clenched her hands and lowered her head, only then did she understand what Leopoldo was All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

referring to.

I just wanted to thank her, because it was Leopoldo who helped her that night.

Mariana is a grateful person, and I wanted to take this opportunity to thank him, but I didn't expect him

to misinterpret it...

-I didn't want your thanks....

"I just want to thank you..."

But the last half of this sentence was swallowed by Mariana, because she suddenly did not want to

explain.

For Leopold, she was always the cunning and ill-intentioned woman, and even if they had a marriage

contract, and even if they had slept together, he would still not want to look at her in a positive light.

Even if she was sincere in defending him, he was worthless in her eyes.

A feeling of humiliation invaded her heart and Mariana bit her lips hard, her face pale.

Looking into his helpless eyes, the man was instantly annoyed.

-Remember your identity, you are not the real lady of the Durán family, don't say things you shouldn't,

don't get involved in things that don't call you," Leopoldo warned her coldly.

Mariana bit her pale lips, struggled to hold back tears, steadied her breathing, nodded, opened the car

door and got out, melting into the dark night.

Leopoldo sat in the car, watching his back from afar.
