Chapter 569: A Different Person

Xavier was a bit perplexed and wondered why that woman was so wicked.

-So you're always this casual when you're alone?

He was sincere in his question, he wanted to know if Mariana had not taken too much care of herself when she lived alone.

She had tried everything before to get rid of Leopoldo.

-"Actually, I know you don't want to marry Leopoldo at all," Xavier said in one word as he looked at the woman in front of him.

If Mariana is going to leave Leopoldo but has no way out, he can help her.

Not only to help her, but to marry her.

-How do you know I don't want to? -Mariana turned to Xavier once she had placed the ribs and winter squash and an assortment of condiments in the soup pot.

With his dark eyes, Xavier also seemed very stoic.

He seemed to have a serious attitude.

-That's what I've been told.

Xavier is always on top of Mariana's information, good and bad, onerous and usual, he knows everything.

Mariana glared at Xavier and asked the other woman rhetorically.

-So you're secretly spying on me?

For a moment, Mariana was speechless. Being watched by the media in public, being watched by Leopoldo at home, and having to be watched by Xavier's people when she was alone. Mariana had always hated this feeling, and left Leopoldo for the same reason back in the day.

-No.

Xavier is afraid to admit it, because he knows why Mariana left then.

There doesn't seem to be much point in dwelling on it.

-The fans outside are still waiting for you, there's nothing else I have to help on my part so you can choose to sign autographs for them first. As a public figure, you can't go back on your word, even if you're no longer in the entertainment industry, right? -Mariana took it upon herself to start putting the oil on and preparing the sauté.

Xavier looked at Mariana, who had to cook three whole dishes plus a soup.

So, for a short time, there was no way out. There was only one way out of here, and there was no way Mariana could escape his sight and leave the place.

-Okay, I'll go take care of the fans," Xavier promised the woman, and prepared to leave.

As she watched the man leave, Mariana sighed softly in the kitchen.

She stood alone in the kitchen, remembering some of the nicer things that had happened. It turned out that if she had not married Leopoldo, there would have been no less trouble. Suddenly, the cell phone in her pocket rang.

-Where are you?

The caller was Perla, who sounded very arrogant and not at all friendly.

But Mariana was used to being spoken to like that. If Perla had been polite to him, she would have felt uncomfortable.

Mariana saw that something was cooked and deliberately turned down the heat.

-I'm in a restaurant near the hospital, what's wrong?

She said it lightly, without really having the feeling that Perla had something important to ask her.

-Aren't you going to buy dinner? Remember to bring one for Diana. She's just out of surgery and the doctor says there's nothing too serious, but she needs a long period of rest.

In three words, Perla broke the news to Mariana.

Isn't this a way of preparing for some time in the hospital? The thing is that Juan's injury is something that will take some time to recover from.

-Okay, I got it.

Mariana didn't want to hear any of this and hung up without another word.

She slowly increased the heat, then put in the sparkling onion and garlic.

With the sound of the crackling coming from the pan, the aroma of the ingredients came out....

-Aunt Perla, how are you doing?

Diana's head was bandaged and she was sitting on the hospital bed looking at Perla in front of her.

It was an idea Perla had given her, and she still didn't know if it would work.

Now that the entertainment industry has been revamped, her ability to be in it is no longer a great asset, and the constant filming can be exhausting and very much to the point.

Diana has been thinking about retiring from the industry for a long time.

So when Perla gave her the idea, she resolutely took time off work.

-Juan, of course, was worried about you, and when he heard that you had fallen, he was so scared that he wanted to come and see you right away. But, in the end, I stopped him -Perla looked at Diana in front of her and informed her of the battle.

In general, the results are good.

-So... What is Leopoldo's reaction?

Diana's main concern is still Leopoldo, how does she take the fact that he has fallen?

If Leopoldo had the slightest concern, she felt his injuries were worth it this time.

Perla said nothing more, but the thing was clear: Leopoldo was not nervous.

The relationship was no longer as intimate as before, and it was natural that Leopoldo had not reacted.

-He didn't react much, did he? -Diana sensed it immediately and a sudden look of loss crossed her face.

It was exactly as expected, and Leopoldo would not have reacted that way if he had any feelings for her.

-Don't worry, this has only just begun, right? How can you be so discouraged? -Perla looked at Diana in front of her and couldn't help but reassure the other little girl.

The plan has only just begun and the excitement is yet to come.

-That's true, but I'm a little unsure," Diana looked at Perla and spoke faintly. No one who thought about it would feel hopeful if the price paid was inversely proportional to what was gained. -You have to have faith, many things don't happen overnight, you have to take your time," Perla encouraged her.

-Do you think that at the end of the day, Leopoldo will be really impressed by me?

Diana suddenly thought about what might happen next, with more or less expectation in her heart.

It is not for one person to say whether she is impressed or not.

-Come and have a piece of apple.

Pearl cut a small piece of the peeled apple and gave it to Diana, who took it and looked at the peeled apple in her hand feeling very happy.

-Do you see anything different about this apple? -asked Perla to Diana as she continued peeling.

Diana looked intently at the apple in her hand, unable to make out anything for a moment. She did not understand Perla, who was trying to say something to herself.

-Do you like it with the skin on?

Throwing a long strip of fur into the wastebasket, Perla spoke again and asked. Hearing Perla's question, the woman immediately shook her head.

-It's very bitter if you don't like it.

She really didn't like the smell, it wasn't good at all.

Perla smiled as she saw Diana say that. Seeing the woman in front of her smile, Diana immediately understood what the other woman meant.

-I see, thank you Aunt Perla," Diana said to Perla, allowing herself to be carried away with gratitude.
