Please behave My Lord
Chapter 487: Meal Among Three

Chapter 487: Meal among three

Mariana had easily finished her business at school and now she just wanted to separate from Leopoldo and go her own way. But in this situation, he wanted to invite them to dinner.

This would provide more contact between Leopoldo and his son.

-Don't bother, we'll eat at home," Mariana looked at Leopoldo with a different meaning.

It wasn't that she really wanted to go home to eat, she just didn't want to eat with Leopoldo. It was important to avoid suspicion, otherwise Mariana would have problems in the future. It was better to be as far away as possible from people like Leopoldo.

-That's fine, my stomach is not very comfortable lately either.

Seeing Mariana make this suggestion, Leopoldo didn't make a fuss either.

He didn't like eating out either, after all, there were a number of hygiene problems that sometimes are not guaranteed. If it was possible to eat at home, it was naturally the healthiest and most acceptable thing to do.

Mariana looked at the other party and felt her heart skip a beat.

She only wanted to take her son home, and that did not include Leopoldo. She didn't understand why this man kept trying to be with them.

Mariana's mind kept thinking of countermeasures.

-Mr. Durán, aren't you busy with the company?

Her meaning was clear. As a big boss of a company, shouldn't you be very busy?

-I am not busy.

After Leopoldo answered flatly, as if he did not understand what the other party meant, he embraced the child directly in his arms and bypassed Mariana. The surprising thing was that little Daniel was very obedient today.

Mariana felt astonished.

"What exactly did this man say to my son? Why is Daniel behaving so differently?"

It was reasonable to say that Leopoldo would not threaten young children either. -Hey, wait for me.

When he came to, Leopoldo had already climbed into the car with the child in his arms. Mariana quickened her pace and followed close behind them to get in as well.

It would have saved time if she had eaten outside casually, but in the end, Mariana took care of everything by herself.

-Mom, are you going to cook?

When she returned home, Daniel sat on the couch playing with his Lego and looked at Mariana with delight.

As if Daniel and Leopoldo were on the same front, little Daniel didn't sell any information to Mariana. Looking at her son, Mariana secretly sighed and put on her apron. -Yes, what does Daniel want to eat?

Mariana opened the refrigerator and checked it. Since it was a food business, the secretary regularly sent fresh vegetables to the house. Therefore, Mariana's kitchen would never be short of ingredients.

Little Daniel hesitated for a moment and said:

-Roast pork.

The little boy has been eating his mother's roast pork since he was little. Of all the dishes Mariana had prepared, this was his favorite. Leopoldo sat down beside her and watched Mariana's every move. From washing to chopping, her every movement was fluid.

It took Mariana only two minutes to finish chopping the grated garlic and ginger. She looked at the man and realized that Leopoldo's attention had been on her the whole time. She didn't want to speak to him, but Leopoldo was her guest too.

-Do you have any dish you would like to order? -Mariana asked without raising her head.

Being too cold with Leopoldo was not necessarily good.

-No, prepare and eat whatever you want," Leopoldo answered calmly and honestly. Being able to watch Mariana cooking was satisfying for him. He didn't have any dish he wanted to order, even the clear soup was also satisfying.

Once he got the answer, Mariana put all her energy into most of the dishes.

-You have quite surprised me," Leopoldo looked at the woman and spoke suddenly.

Mariana placed the pan on the fire and flipped the switch before moving slightly. -What's the surprise?

"What did I do again that Leopoldo thought it was amazing? Isn't cooking a very basic skill?"

-From whom did you learn to cook? -Leopoldo looked at the woman, desperate to understand her.

What kind of life had she led all these years? How hard was it to be alone? These were all questions Leopoldo wanted to ask clearly. He wanted to re-enter her life, whether it had disappeared before or continued into the future.

-From a nanny who used to take care of Daniel," Mariana said with a calm, relaxed expression.

She learned to cook just for her son.

-Do you work during the day and the nanny helps you with your son? -Leopoldo asked in succession. In fact, he really had a myriad of questions in his mind for Mariana.

-Yes," Mariana nodded.

Raising a child alone was very hard, but since she had left Leopoldo for her son's sake, she was determined to raise him well. If anything happened to her son, she would regret it for the rest of her life. Looking at the woman, Leopoldo's heart ached a little.

If he had been there, things would certainly not have been like this. He was capable of protecting his wife and children, let alone leaving them out in the open.

-Mariana... -Leopoldo looked at the woman and softly pronounced her name.

Mariana looked at him with eyes full of contempt.

-Hm?

They both held each other's gaze and there was a strange atmosphere in the air.

-Knock knock.

-Mom, there's a knock at the door.

Little Daniel was sitting in the living room when he heard a knock at the door and called out to the woman.

The quiet between the two was broken, and Mariana's gaze shifted to the door with a glimpse of something very different in her eyes.

"I didn't order the secretary to bring me anything at this hour, who's visiting?"

Mariana glanced at the man in front of her, stood up and prepared to open the door. When she opened the door and saw the other party, Mariana was stunned. The person at the door was none other than Emily.

She was surely coming for Mariana, but Mariana didn't treat her very well.

-Why are you here?

She didn't know Emily well, so there was no need to be polite to her. When Emily saw the woman's simple attire, her eyes filled with contempt.

That was how Leopold liked people to dress.

-I have something to tell you.

Emily completely ignored the disdain in Mariana's eyes and walked straight into the room.

As soon as she entered the living room, Emily saw little Daniel playing alone with Lego on the floor. It looked like he had been playing by himself for some time. Then she looked around the room with a heavy mind.

There were only two people in this house, the mother and the son.

-Have you always been like this? -Mariana asked him as he looked at her.
