Chapter 454: Recognizing Reality

-Mr. Durán, what evidence do you have to prove that I took Mariana?

Noe had always called Mariana by her name, but at this moment, Leopoldo found it very ironic and harsh.

-Don't call her Mariana - Leopoldo took a breath and spoke coldly.

She was his, other men could not simply call her that.

Noe's heart skipped a beat, then tried to calm down.

-I didn't take her, and I can't take her either.

This truth, even if Noe would not say it, Leopoldo should be able to understand.

The fact that Mariana left Leopoldo did not necessarily have anything to do with other men.

-So, you accept that you left her after she got into your car at that moment? -Leopoldo looked at Noe with burning eyes.

This was the reason he had come in person. Noe could easily fool him if he asked him over the phone, but in Leopoldo's presence, it was absolutely impossible.

-I... -Noe looked at him with a certain hesitation in his eyes.

For a moment, Noe felt that no matter what he said, Leopoldo could see right through him.

-I left her at the airport," Noe hesitated for a moment before telling him the truth.

After Mariana got into the car, she drove to the airport with him. Noe could only tell Leopoldo the truth to avoid Leopoldo's suspicions. Mariana clearly thought of leaving the country alone and did not plan to tell Leopoldo.

Perhaps Leopoldo himself was aware of this.

A crisis had arisen in the love life of two people.

-The airport?

Leopoldo smiled bitterly. No wonder he had been unable to locate Mariana no matter how hard he looked. She had left the country.

She wanted to leave Leopoldo of her own free will.

-Do you know where she has gone? -Leopoldo looked at him dejectedly, knowing that Noe was not lying.

Noe paused and then said:

-I don't know if he has left the country, since we parted after getting off the wagon. At first, I thought he had gone to the airport to pick someone up.

Going abroad was not something Noe would have expected.

Besides, it was only when they met later on the plane that she knew Mariana's destination was the same.

-Alonso," Leopoldo suddenly shouted when he heard Noe say that.

Alonso became serious and stared at Leopoldo.

-Señor Durán, I am here.

-When I asked you to check the flight information, didn't you say that Mariana's name was missing?

Leopoldo's gaze was merciless, his eyes were fierce and he was clearly blaming Alonso. Noe's eyes fell on Alonso, immediately recognizing the other party.

Alonso found it strange that when he checked, Mariana's name did not appear.

With such advanced technology, it was impossible to make a mistake.

-Was it you? -Noe's gaze fell on Alonso and he became thoughtful.

Leopoldo looked at Noe with a cold expression.

-Do you know him?

-He followed Mari? Miss Ortiz, that's why Miss Ortiz got into my car.

The cause of the affair was Alonso, if it wasn't for Alonso, Mariana wouldn't have left Leopoldo in a fit of rage.

It was as if Leopoldo saw clearly where things were coming from.

-She is so selfish," Leopoldo looked at Noe and said coldly.

In general, when a woman is pregnant with a child, she should depend more on her man. But Mariana was exactly the opposite. She was not afraid of being without Leopoldo, because she could still live without a man.

She had her children and herself, and that was enough.

-It's not for Alonso, it's for me," Leopoldo hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Mariana had abandoned him so coldly because of him. He loved that woman enough, but Mariana didn't necessarily love him that much too. Many things could be just illusions.

-Señor Durán, I am not interested in knowing more about you and Señorita Ortiz's affairs.

Noe liked Mariana and Leopoldo knew it.

Precisely because he could not get her because he liked Mariana, Noe did not treat Leopoldo well. No matter how high Leopoldo's status in the country, Noe didn't care.

It was not impossible for two people to stay away from each other forever.

-Okay, thank you very much.

Once he got the answer he wanted, Leopoldo had no reason to stay there.

Without changing his face, Noe said politely:

-You're welcome.

Leopoldo boarded the plane immediately, not wanting to waste any more time. Only after seeing the plane leave did Noe's heart shrink. Finally, it was not for him that Mariana was involved. -Just like that? -Baker stood next to Noe in disbelief.

"She took such a long flight just to say a few words?"

Baker's eyes fell on the other man, thinking Leopold was flamboyant. He looked at Leopoldo and decided to investigate him properly.

"Who is this man?"

-Or what? -Noe looked at Baker and yawned unconsciously.

By now, he really should be rested back home. Because of the time difference, Noe was yawning a lot. He still needed enough time to completely rewind his biological clock.

-Where are you going? -Baker asked curiously as he followed Noe.

Noe looked at the other man without thinking.

-I'll be back the day after tomorrow and you go back to work.

-What?!

Baker realized then that Noe had come back just to wait for this particular man. He had thought he really cared about his job and was coming to work without having to sleep, but after half a day, it was just a misunderstanding on his part.

Leopold was sitting on the plane, his eyes misty.

The world was a big place and he had been to forty-five countries a month thanks to his job. But now, he couldn't even replace the person he loved the most. Could it be that he and Mariana were destined to end up like this?

Leopoldo didn't want to and wouldn't allow it.

Leopoldo was silent for a moment before suddenly speaking.

-Alonso.

Alonso immediately caught the mood and responded:

-Mr. Durán.

-You will be given the opportunity to do well, and in three years, I want you to go through all the cities. By any means, I have to know your current state. Leopoldo gave a difficult task.

It was not known how many countries Alonso will have to go through for one person.

Even if Alonso could search every country in three years, Mariana could move around, so how could he guarantee that he would not lose her?

-Mr. Durán, but this?

Alonso just wanted to open his mouth to explain the situation to Leopoldo, but the latter showed no desire to listen. This matter, as difficult as it was, was something Alonso had to overcome. -If you don't replace him in three years, you won't be free for the rest of your life," Leopoldo's gaze fell on Alonso and he spoke coldly.
