Chapter 464: Custody

Chapter 464: Custody

He hoped the woman could tell herself that, as Mariana's son, Daniel should protect his mother before her.

-Daniel is hungry? There really is a lot of delicious food in the country," Mariana looked at her son, trying to divert his attention. It was not good to worry too much at such a young age.

-Mom, what can we eat? -Daniel looked at the woman with curious eyes. He was very curious to know what was so delicious.

Mariana scratched the little boy's nose and couldn't help but say:

-Little boy, first go with mommy to get the luggage -Mariana hugged her son and prepared to settle into her lodging before going with him to celebrate a proper feast.

The son looked at the woman and nodded.

-Good!

Leopoldo was sitting in the VIP room and his mind was still imagining the scene he had just experienced with Mariana. After so long without seeing her, Mariana's appearance was not very different from before but it was obvious that she had been transformed.

She was truly a new Mariana.

And she was still the mother of her son in her current condition. What had Mariana done and experienced over the years, and why did she prefer to be alone with her son rather than return to him?

-Mr. Durán, this is the information you asked for.

Suddenly, the subordinate handed him the tablet.

Leopoldo looked at him cruelly.

-When I asked you to check, you made no move, but now that the person is back, do you have any clues?

-Mr. Durán, it's really not our problem," the subordinate looked at Leopoldo with some difficulty.

Leopoldo looked at him with a frown.

"What is the problem, if not the subordinate?"

After glancing at his subordinate, Leopoldo took in the information in front of him. He looked at him sharply and then asked:

-Did he change his name?

-Yes, that's the name the lady was using since she left the country, that's why we could not replace her.

The subordinate also felt aggrieved in his heart, they had spent enough time just sorting out names.

They had brought back several people, but none of them was the Mariana that Leopoldo was looking for.

Now that the real person was back, he realized that Mariana had changed her name.

-Did you have trouble replaceing her just because she changed her name? -Leopoldo said crazily as he continued to look at the information.

It seemed that these subordinates were really a useless bunch. With only a false name, they couldn't replace out even half a trace of Mariana in three years. However, Leopoldo did not expect it either. To leave Leopoldo, Mariana had done everything she could to prepare herself.

-The lady had done almost everything in the last few years when she was abroad," the subordinate said as he looked at Leopoldo.

For a woman, it was no easy task to do all that.

In just three years, Mariana had tried her luck in many aspects of business. According to research, there was a time when Mariana lost all the capital she had in her hands because she invested in hotel business.

That was only a year ago and it was very hard for her.

-And then what? -Leopoldo asked as he looked around and talked.

He knew it was not easy for this woman to be out there alone. Rather than suffer and go into business alone abroad, Mariana was not willing to go back to his side again. This woman's temperament was really stubborn.

She was determined to raise her child alone.

-The present lady is so good that the chain has been opened to the country. The assets in her name are listed in the information -the subordinate looked at Leopoldo and could not help saying.

For them, Mariana was a miracle.

With all the money, she opened a restaurant abroad and ended up with a huge fortune. Admittedly, the woman Leopoldo had had his eye on was far from simple. Now she had more than enough to support a child.

And since she had the baby, it was not easy for Leopoldo to get it back.

When Leopoldo heard this, he was overcome with a foreboding.

"So this woman is so desperate because she was afraid that one day the child would be taken away from her?"

Mariana had always known that there would come a day when custody of the child would be debated, so she desperately tried to raise money so she could fight with Leopoldo.

-Have you already sent someone to keep an eye on her? -Leopoldo looked at the man and spoke suddenly.

The subordinate was busy nodding, not daring to be negligent at all, and said:

-He has already been sent.

Everyone inside knew that replaceing Mariana had taken a lot of time and effort, and at a time like this, it was even more important not to take it lightly. Even if Leopoldo didn't ask them to follow him, they would do it anyway.

Leopoldo nodded and closed his eyes, engrossed in his own contemplation.

This time, whatever happened, Mariana could not escape his palm....

-Mom, this is delicious! -said Daniel in an exaggerated voice as he sat down on the stool.

It was the first time he had ever eaten stew, and as soon as he walked through the door of the store, his whole body filled with excitement. He never thought his country would look like this, so he thought it was amazing to be able to eat this.

-Son, if you like it, you can come often in the future," Mariana looked at her son and couldn't help but say.

"Eating stew is not a difficult task, as long as my son studies well."

-Mom, I don't want to go back abroad. The life here is mine, don't you think so? -Daniel looked at the woman, as if he had deliberately asked her.

Mariana paused and looked at the boy.

-Daniel, why are you talking so maturely, have you been reading more books lately?

Her son was a very good autodidact, so he learned his letters quickly. But the only drawback was that her son read everything. Daniel read everything he should or shouldn't read. Especially now that the Internet was so popular, Mariana couldn't even stop him.

Daniel stopped talking and kept eating.

-Mom, I want that meatball again," Daniel hurriedly turned his attention away and fixed his mind on the meatballs.

Whether he read or not, he couldn't let Mariana know. She had a bad temper, and if she was really unhappy, she might confiscate his tablet. Daniel couldn't let her do that.

-Ding dong!

The person who texted him was his new in-country assistant, Iris.

-Mariana, the accommodation has been arranged and the luggage has been shipped.

Although the two had never met, Iris had been here as general manager since Mariana's company opened its doors in the country. Iris had thought that the president would always live abroad, but suddenly she was back.

The restaurant where her son now ate was owned by her.

There were many such stores all over the country.

-Okay, thank you.

Mariana politely returned the message and continued eating. Only when she looked up did she replace her son's mouth full of food.
