Please behave My Lord

Chapter 488: Menace

Emily's eyes were filled with slight contempt as she looked at Mariana behind her.

-What did you say?

She didn't quite understand what Mariana meant, so she asked her directly.

-Can't you see that I don't welcome you? -Mariana spoke coldly.

Emily loved Leopoldo, so surely she did not come with good intentions when she heard that Mariana had given birth to her son. Even if Mariana had nothing to do with Leopoldo now, the two would not get along amicably.

-Even if she's not welcome, I'll come anyway.

Emily was ready to come and replace trouble for Mariana, so naturally she wasn't afraid of anything.

-Okay, then tell me what you want," Mariana spoke bluntly. After wasting so much effort to replace her location, surely she didn't come just to see her and her son.

Emily grimaced and said with a bitter smile:

-You're smarter than I thought.

-Just say the word and get out of here.

Mariana thought it was a waste of time to keep talking to Emily. At times like this, she wished she had no contact with her at all. Besides, there was no need for the two of them to even see each other in the firs place.

-Take your son and get out of here," Emily said casually as she looked at Mariana. She had thought about it for a long time and the only infallible solution was to persuade her to leave this place with her son. Only then Leopoldo would not be distracted and she would feel calmer.

-On What basis?

Mariana thought his words were unrealistic. She and her son were living well here and had done nothing to upset anyone. She wasn't going to take her son out of the country just because of a few words from Emily.

This request was too much.

-You don't have a choice," Emily told her coldly.

In Mariana's position, she had no way to refuse. The thorn in Emily's side was this woman and she just wished she would disappear.

-Curious, how do I have no choice? -Mariana felt the other party was a bit smug.

Mariana had always been very sensitive. Even if she currently had no relationship with Leopoldo, she always looked deeply into people who were like Emily.

She didn't do it for her, she did it for her son.

Whatever the background of the other party, she needed to have a general idea just in case.

Moreover, over the years, Mariana had also developed a habit of being careful and vigilant. Fearing that Leopoldo might accidentally discover her, she took to covering up everything from her name to the records of her business trips.

For three whole years, Leopoldo had not found her despite his best efforts to look for her.

In the end, Mariana decided to return from abroad just for her son's sake. She thought she could come back and have a good life, but Leopoldo never gave up looking for her.

Or rather, he did not give up looking for his son.

-If you don't get out of here, I'll let your store close down completely," Emily glared at her. She didn't think Mariana had much special about her; on the contrary, she had many more advantages. As long as this woman stayed away, there were plenty of opportunities for Emily to get close to Leopoldo.

-Close him?

Mariana was amused, it wasn't that she didn't believe Emily had that ability, but she thought Leopoldo's charm wasn't small at all. Someone would be willing to go that far for him. Leopold was never short of women.

-Yes, I'm going to close your business," Emily replied casually.

The next moment, Daniel pounced on Emily and hit her hard with the toy hammer in his hand. This woman had already been blacklisted.

-Damned child, who taught you to hit people indiscriminately?

Emily wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Daniel. In her eyes, he was a wild child who had no adult to teach him.

He seemed very annoying just by looking at him.

-Son, come here.

Mariana hurriedly pulled her son and hid him behind her. It wasn't good for adults to do anything to each other, but Mariana was pleased with little Daniel's initiative.

"Thank you for hitting it for me, my son!"

Unlike others, her son didn't hide when he heard Emily's commotion.

Mariana looked around the house and didn't see where Leopoldo had gone, so she guessed he hid quickly. But she wouldn't drag Leopoldo with her any more than she would admit he was there.

It was better for Mariana to clarify her relationship with Emily than with Leopoldo.

-Have you finished what you had to say? Can you go now? -Mariana asked coldly as he looked at her.

She felt very uncomfortable just looking at her. This woman was already a dead old woman to her.

-No! Your son hit me, so he must apologize to me!

At first, Emily advised her kindly in the hope that Mariana could behave herself and leave Leopoldo on his own. But then, she met such a naughty boy as Daniel.

Mariana hid her son behind her, but did not apologize.

-Daniel is little, if you ask who taught him, you better ask who didn't teach him well," said Mariana.

Seeing that Mariana was intentionally going off the deep end, Emily said with little grace:

-What do you mean by that?

Little Daniel made a small gesture with his head and snorted.

-Haven't you ever heard that if the son doesn't learn well it's the father's fault?

His mother had taught him well, but Emily only loved Leopoldo. Even a three-year-old could see that Emily came to threaten them.

-Where is your father? -Emily asked as she looked at the little boy and prepared to say something even harsher.

But just before her words reached her throat, Mariana slapped them back. When Leopoldo saw this scene, his dark eyes turned cold. Emily's words were a bit disproportionate.

-It's fine for you to speak ill of me or to reprimand me, but you can't do anything to my son," Mariana glared at her as she told him directly. She had no regrets about hitting Emily. She didn't care about this woman's background, Mariana will take anything Emily has to offer.
