Chapter 342: Warming up
It really had been too long since she had left the dimly lit room, and Mariana looked out at the garden
and it all seemed so amazing to her.
If Leopoldo had not known what was going on, he would have thought Mariana's behavior was a bit
silly.
The sun was getting hotter and hotter, Mariana put her hand to her eyes to protect them, Leopoldo saw
her and pushed the wheelchair into the shade.
This thoughtful gesture made Mariana feel great.
The grass under the shade of the trees swayed slightly like waves from the wind, which made Mariana
yearn for more.
-Leopoldo, can I sit on the grass? -she whispered as she looked at him.
The purpose of bringing Mariana was to make her happy, so when he heard her request, Leopoldo
naturally agreed.
He carefully lowered her from the wheelchair and sat her against the tree trunk.
His movements were so gentle that Mariana couldn't help but redden her eyes.
It was all too beautiful, but she wasn't afraid of losing him, since he had never been that good.
Mariana couldn't help but feel ridiculous at her own thoughts, she sniffled and turned her head to look
at Leopoldo, who was standing.
-Are you not going to sit down?
Leopoldo looked at Mariana again and struggled internally before sitting down next to her.
Seeing this, Mariana smiled and averted her gaze.
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves piece by piece, just like the current relationship
between the two of them.
Mariana thought about this and felt a little lost, but once she remembered their relationship in the
beginning, she also felt she was being too pretentious and couldn't ask for too much.
Mariana, who was summarizing the relationship, turned her head when she heard Leopoldo's voice.
-Mariana, it was my fault you were hurt," he said without looking at her.
Hearing Leopoldo apologize, Mariana was a little surprised, but even so, she quickly replied:
-No, it was an oversight on my part. We shouldn't take it too seriously.
Mariana's intention was not to make Leopoldo think too much, but it still caused him distress.
Hearing her words, Leopoldo felt very bad. Each time he responded in a very nonchalant way,
assuming things, and he didn't know if he was strong or really stupid.
Thinking about this, Leopoldo felt angry. It was clear that the two of them were already husband and
wife, but they were still this rusty, which was really unpleasant.
-Mariana, don't forget who you are now.
The words sounded indifferent again as soon as they were uttered.
Mariana paused and her original expression of happiness shadowed at his words.
It wasn't that Mariana was overthinking it, but that her own words were too ambiguous.
Leopoldo stretched a little annoyed and scratched his hair. He didn't dare look at Mariana as he added:
-I mean. Tell me if something happens in the future, don't put up with everything on your own," he said
a little embarrassed.
Leopoldo's words awakened Mariana's silent mind.
She looked at him with wide eyes, it seemed incredible to her.
-Just like this time, you just can't figure it out on your own.
As he spoke, Leopoldo turned his head somewhat angrily to look at Mariana.
His reproachful and worried look forced Mariana to flee out of nowhere, but inside, an agitation forced
her to move forward.
Leopoldo's words made Mariana feel a little unreal. She looked at the excitement in his eyes and felt
she was going to be captured by him.
-I was afraid of giving you trouble.
In the end only these words came out.
Mariana lowered her head and did not dare to look into Leopoldo's eyes, for she feared that he would
realize her panic, and even more, that he would see through her fear.
At first, Leopoldo blamed Mariana, but now that he heard her words, his heart was filled with pain.
It was always surprisingly difficult for him to know how to respond to her words.
Without a second thought, he walked over to Mariana and reached out his hand to lean on her
shoulder.
Feeling first Leopoldo's body heat, then following his movements, her head rested on his shoulder.
Mariana blinked, her body stiffening slightly, not knowing what she was doing.
Tilting her head slightly, she couldn't see Leopoldo's expression and heard his voice as he tensed.
-You're not going to be a bother," he said reaching out and placing his hand on Mariana's hair.
She had thought of a million answers in her mind, but she never thought Leopoldo would say this.
It was at that moment that Mariana clearly realized that something seemed to be different between the
two of them.
-Thank you," she said.
A soft breeze blew off the swaying leaves of the trees and landed on Mariana's hair.
Leopoldo took the leaf from her and put it in her hand.
Seeing that, Mariana took the leaf from Leopoldo's hand and held it up to the sunlight, squinting her
eyes she could see the veins in the leaf.
-Pay more attention next time," said Leopoldo in a low voice, with a tone full of seriousness.
Hearing this, Mariana nodded, and her heart warmed.
Just as she was about to speak, Leopoldo's phone rang and she turned her head with some confusion.
Leopoldo pulled out his phone and looked at it, then put it aside and ignored it.
Seeing this, Mariana didn't think much of it, but the WhatsApp messages didn't stop, but rang
frequently.
The relationship between the two had changed because of the conversation they had just had, and
Mariana felt somewhat dissatisfied to see that her cell phone screen was still on.
-Leopoldo, who is it? -said Mariana trying to get closer to take a look, but he pushed her away with one
hand.
-It's nothing," Leopoldo said coldly as he looked at the message on his phone.
Mariana didn't believe him. She had just been overwhelmed by Leopoldo's tenderness, but now, when
she thought about it calmly, he was preventing her from realizing it.
Mariana had her suspicions, and she feared it was Diana.
She felt a little uncomfortable. She looked up to see Leopoldo's unwillingness to say anything, he
seemed lost and uncomfortable.
Thinking it was Diana, Mariana felt slightly jealous, knowing that Leopoldo was now by her side.
Leopoldo, who had not noticed that Mariana was different, did not give it much importance and got up
after answering the message.
-I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back soon. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Saying this, he let Mariana sit comfortably and left.
Seeing Leopoldo walking farther and farther away, Mariana tilted her head to one side and looked at
the cell phone next to her. Her mood was very complicated.
She wanted to see if it was what she had in mind, but again, it was strangely embarrassing to find out
Leopoldo's privacy.
Mariana frowned, torn inside, but in the end her feelings still won out over her reason.
She glanced sideways to see that Leopoldo had not returned, hurried to pick up the phone on the floor
and sat up straight.
Her phone had no password, so Mariana simply opened the screen and saw that a message appeared
in the mailbox.
When she clicked, she discovered that it was not a message from Diana, but an unnamed contact.
The more she looked at the chat logs, the more surprised Mariana felt.
