Chapter 317: Divorce

-Actually -Mariana scratched her cheek-. I think it's okay, today was an accident.

-Then pay attention to your health. This time it was just a fainting spell, what's going to happen next time? You're worrying me a lot," Xavier reproached her as if she were close to her.

-I...

Mariana could not say anything else.

Xavier's words were so suggestive that Leopoldo disliked to hear them.

It was then that someone else's voice came from the room.

-Oh, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were a couple.

The voice and the tone of voice could not be other than Ana's.

-No, don't say that.

Mariana was embarrassed by Ana's joke.

-No problem, it's just a joke -said Xavier with a smile.

In response, Ana continued:

-Yes, yes, yes, it's a joke. But I don't think it's a problem, and I seriously wish you had married....

-Anita, don't be ridiculous! -Mariana interrupted with a slight frown.

Xavier smiled, and Mariana looked at him with an uncomfortable smile.

"A couple?"

Leopoldo, who had been lucky enough to make it this far, was suddenly annoyed to hear Ana's words.

"Mariana and Xavier don't make a good couple at all!"

Ana didn't know Leopoldo was there, and she considered him to be no good, but Xavier seemed focused, handsome and rich.

If Mariana divorced Leopoldo, Xavier would be a good choice.

-Really, Mariana, I think he would be right for you. Think about it," Ana continued.

-Ana, I think you really want to be beaten," said Mariana as she narrowed her eyes.

Ana knew that her best friend was really angry and immediately made the gesture that she would shut up.

Mariana smiled slightly.

-Ana, I'm already married.

The implication was that she was already married, and that she didn't want her to do anything foolish.

Xavier's expression sank.

Ana heard it and gave him an instant blank stare.

"That marriage was a real marriage?"

-Let's pretend it didn't exist," Ana thought it was unfair. Nowadays there are divorces. What's so strange about doing this if that man is wrong?

Ana left Mariana speechless for a moment.

-Anita, how can you talk like that?

Mariana didn't quite agree with this. She would not have accepted the marriage if she had not had a reason to do so, but the marriage was not so casual and she said:

-Don't talk like that in the future.

She didn't want to blame Ana, it just didn't seem appropriate to say so. Not to mention the fact that Xavier was still here and Ana was saying it as if he wanted her to be with him immediately after the divorce. Ana didn't blame Mariana for his mildly reproving words, she just felt bad for her, why does she have to wait for a man like that to break up with her to pursue a second relationship?

Xavier didn't know the situation well enough to say anything.

-No, baby, look at the star I like. He's rich, handsome and kind. A lot of women would want to marry him, okay? Then look at your husband Leopoldo! He's married to you and he's got you at home, but he keeps cheating on you with Diana. He's scum.

The more Ana thought about it, the more she felt that Leopoldo was wasting Mariana's time, and she said:

-If I were you, I would divorce that scum right now.

Ana's anger warmed up a little the atmosphere that had just cooled down.

Ana was about to say something nice about Xavier to highlight the image and increase Xavier's position in Mariana's heart, but the door burst open. Leopoldo appeared in the doorway.

He had already heard Ana from outside the door, and was annoyed to hear it, but also worried that Mariana would be affected by it.

Leopoldo looked at Ana coldly.

Ana had cast a provocative glance at Leopoldo, but was directly stopped by his cold stare.

Leopoldo approached Mariana and said:

-Now that you are married, you should not approach people who have bad intentions. Keep your distance.

Mariana frowned.

Then Leopoldo turned to Xavier.

-Mr. Bolaño, she is married. So please keep your distance from now on and don't affect my wife's image.

-What have I done? -said Xavier, pretending not to understand.

-Don't look at someone else's wife or try to give her illusions," said Leopoldo bluntly.

Xavier let out a laugh.

-Mr. Durán is very funny, I just heard Ana say that you had an affair. You are allowed to have other women while Mariana is not allowed to have male friends who treat her with kindness? "Are you provoking me?"

Leopoldo narrowed his eyes.

-She is mine. She wears my ring on her hand.

-Is she yours? Is Senor Duran so eager to swear sovereignty? -Xavier scoffed again.

-I'm in no hurry," Leopoldo looked calmly at Xavier's provocation as he taunted him. I don't need to swear it's mine, since it's legal. You're just an intruder no matter how much you meddle. Angered by his comment, Xavier said:

-You say Mariana is yours, so why didn't you take good care of her?

This question silenced Leopoldo.

It was true that he had not expected Mariana to faint today and that he had not taken good care of her.

-I don't need to bother Mr. Bolaño to take care of my wife," Leopoldo answered coldly.

The two men were standing in front of each other, and the room seemed crowded and stiff.

Moreover, the atmosphere between them was still very tense, and as they stared at each other, they feared that if they said a few more words to each other, they would fight.

Mariana saw that the situation was not good, and feared that they would fight, so she gave Ana a quick wink and told her to get Xavier out of the way. If things went on like this, there would be trouble.

Ana didn't want to, but she didn't want to see Leopoldo either. Therefore, she approached Xavier and said:

-Don't bother with him, let's go. Mariana has to rest.

Xavier was speechless, it was not a good idea for him to be in Mariana's room like that.

-She said, "Get some rest. Call me if you need anything, I'm always around.
