Chapter 39: Betrayal

He looked at Leopold stubbornly, but his trembling shoulders still betrayed his deep nervousness.

When she saw the shadowy face in front of her getting closer and closer, she closed her eyes in a bit of

panic, but the next moment, a soft, slightly cold touch with a faint smell of tobacco lidded her lips.

Her eyes suddenly opened and Leopoldo had already straightened up, looking at her coolly as he

asked:

-So, how do you explain tonight's meeting?

Suddenly remembering the kiss that Xavier had imprinted on her face, Mariana understood everything

instantly.

But...

Mariana touched the lips she had just kissed, a little in a trance.

Leopoldo coldly hooked the corners of his mouth and spoke with disdain:

-Even though we are in a contract marriage, I don't want to see my wife doing such things and openly

cheating on me.

After a pause, he continued his cruel and direct humiliation:

Are you a shameless woman? A woman who has no self-respect?

A shiver ran through her body and Mariana looked incredulously into the man's indifferent eyes, with a

strong feeling of humiliation.

I didn't expect him to look at her like that!

The soft touch on her lips had just a little while ago seemed like a distant thing from the last century.

"So you're testing me with that kiss? You're kissing me just to confirm that I'm a brazen woman?"

"Or have you already identified me in your mind as a slut at first?"

-I'm not like that!

But his words were not persuasive at all.

Immediately afterwards, as if remembering something, Mariana closed her eyes in despair and her lips

curved slightly as she let out a cold laugh.

-Since you know so clearly that we are married under the contract and you and Andrea can make out!

Why can't Xavier and I be together?

The woman, in a full rage, spoke sarcastically, completely ignoring the man's instantly grim face.

But the tears could no longer stop, Mariana hastily lowered her head, pushed away Leopoldo who was

standing in front of her, turned around and ran away.

She opened the door and ran out of the villa. She did not stop running until she felt exhausted.

His heart was beating violently and restlessly, and the beat was especially clear in the quiet darkness

of the night, as if it were about to leap from his throat in the next second.

Feeling a sharp pain in her heart, Mariana couldn't help but crouch down, her right hand covering her

left breast, and her face turned slightly pale.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook faintly as he let out a bitter smile.

Couldn't even God see her like this, so miserable?

But he really thought she was such a woman?

Tears flowed relentlessly, sliding down her cheeks and falling to the floor.

"It must be because of the pain in the heart."

The next moment, a warm hand unexpectedly covered her head, and Mariana looked up overwhelmed.

Her blurred vision fixed on the person's face, and after careful discernment, Mariana finally saw the

person clearly.

It was Xavier Bolaño.

Disguising her disappointment and bitterness, she slowly took the plain white handkerchief the man

handed her, quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.

-Why are you here? -Her voice was hoarse from crying.

-It is probably by God's will.

Mariana looked at Xavier with teary eyes. Seeing her look so pitiful, Xavier didn't want to joke with her

anymore, he hurriedly opened his mouth to explain:

-It's a coincidence, I had something to do and I stopped by.

Mariana looked around and couldn't help but frown. She was already in a residential area close to the

villa, no wonder she was meeting Xavier.

-Do you want to sit there chatting for a while?

Looking in the direction the man pointed, she discovered that there was a square with several fitness

facilities, and there were two swings there.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Mariana accepted.

It was already very late and he had just had a fight with Leopoldo, so for a while, he didn't really know

where to go.

Setting the laptop down on the coffee table in front of her, Leopoldo couldn't help but reach out and

lightly rub his forehead.

It was dark and quiet outside, and the night always hid many things from view.

"This woman!"

The glass clinked softly against the mahogany producing a crisp noise, and Leopold withdrew his cold,

stern gaze.

The nanny put down the glass of water in her hand, looked at the man sitting on the couch with his legs

bent, and sighed slightly.

Actually, she knew everything that had just happened between the two of them, and seeing the deep

concern hidden under the gentleman's icy face, the nanny said:

-Sir, watching television yesterday, I saw a news item about a woman who went out late at night and

was followed by a strange man and was dragged into a bush....

Noticing the piercing icy stare that hung over her, the nanny immediately shut up.

The next moment, a gust of wind lifted her hair around her ears, the nanny couldn't help blinking, and

when she opened them again, her master was no longer there. A crisp snapping sound rang in her

ears, and she was left alone in the villa.

She couldn't help but shake her head and headed to the kitchen with a smile on her face, ready to Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

prepare some food for her mistress, as she would be hungry when she returned later.

Mariana had run off in slippers, so the maid supposed she should not have run very far.

Leopoldo ran looking around the villa area and finally spotted Mariana in a white dress behind a

residential building.

However, she was not alone.

Xavier was at his side.

His running footsteps stopped, and Leopoldo stood some distance away with his hands in his pockets,

his eyes slightly narrowed as he looked at the two people sitting on swings, laughing and talking.

The woman's face bore no trace of the pale appearance it had before, and her smiling, happy face

dazzled in the dim streetlight.

With a soft snort, Leopoldo deftly opened his cigarette case, took out a cigarette and lit it.

In the swirling smoke he exhaled, their figures became blurred. After a long while, Leopoldo

extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the wastebasket next to him, turning abruptly to

leave.

"She really is shameless woman!"

The next day, the set started working and Mariana returned to the set early to work.

However, to everyone's surprise, Mr. Durán was still there.

Anne looked at the woman working with her head down, and her desire to share gossip with her was

instantly extinguished.

He pulled Mariana with one hand, holding her shoulders tightly with both hands, and couldn't help but

exclaim:

-Mari, what's wrong with you!

At that moment, the woman in front of me was pale, but under her eyes there were heavy dark circles

under her eyes. She looked like she was very tired.

-How is it that after one night, you have become in this state?

Mariana looked at her friend's exaggerated facial expressions and couldn't help but open her mouth to

retort:

-Even though I look bad, you don't have to exaggerate so much, okay?

After saying this, she shot a glance at Ana, pulled her hand away and went to continue with her

remaining work.

But the next second he was interrupted by Anne again, who took the charcoal pencil from his hand,

and said:

-The work is never finished. You'd better take a break first, I'll do this for you.

Ana took her aside and let her sit in the chair. Ana ordered her:

-All right, take a nap first, and I'll wake you up after I finish this.
