Please behave My Lord

Chapter 344: Restoring The Old

Chapter 344: Restoring the Old

Being distant for several days in a row, in the end, not even self-soothing could explain Leopoldo's

transformation. Mariana could clearly sense his indifference when confronted with himself.

Upon realizing this, she surprisingly found herself with a small tightness in her chest, and she was

inexplicably uncomfortable.

She had thought that after that time in the hospital, things had improved between them.

But she hadn't expected that after she was discharged, she would be like a totally different person, and

the man would be even colder to her.

It was as if the Leopoldo in the hospital was nothing more than a figment of her imagination, and she

had woken up from the dream to come back to reality.

-Leopoldo, I have something....

Leopoldo was dressed in a straight suit and was walking out the door.

-I'll talk about what's going on when I get back, I have an urgent meeting right now.

After saying that, before Mariana could answer, he was already out the door.

But when will you be back in the afternoon?

The words Mariana had not yet had time to say disappeared into thin air as the car drove away.

At night, leaving the lights on until the wee hours of the morning, Mariana did not wait for Leopoldo, and

the phone calls she made did nothing but repeat the words.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

-The user she called was temporarily unavailable.

Mariana did not know when she had fallen asleep, but when she woke up, it was already dawn and,

through the window, she could see the halo of dawn in the not-too-distant sky.

She looked around the room and there was no sign that anyone had returned.

Sighing, she got up and got out of bed. She freshened up briefly before going down to breakfast, only

to see an unexpected figure at the dining room table.

"Leopoldo?"

"Not that he hadn't come back?"

-Ejem... Come and have breakfast. I got back late last night and didn't go back to my room for fear of

disturbing you, so I settled for the guest room.

-Good.

Mariana calmed down a bit and sat down across from him. She picked up her fork and ate her simple

breakfast.

-I saw your call. I was busy and didn't get it. It was late when I saw it, so I didn't return the call.

As he ate his breakfast, he explained to Mariana.

-Well.

This explanation did not convince Mariana. Maybe at first he would have excused himself, and he was

really busy, after all, he ran a very large company and had taken care of her for a long time.

But most of the time, all explanations are impotent.

Leopold felt instantly that his authority had been challenged. At first, he had thought he had neglected

her a bit in the last few days and felt guilty, but this woman was very ungrateful.

At that moment, Leopoldo said nothing more, and a stony silence fell over the table.

Although Mariana did not believe his explanation, she still wanted to ask for clarification, but what

position did she have to ask Leopoldo the reason for his change of attitude?

Looking down at her plate of bread, which she had already cut into pieces, she took a deep breath and

finally made up her mind and prepared to speak.

-Just say what's going on.

The man's distant and uncomfortably cold voice came from across the room, stifling all the words

Mariana was about to formulate in her throat.

-It's nothing.

Mariana picked up a piece of chopped bread and quietly popped it into her mouth. Then she went back

to being nonchalant, without a hint of emotion in her voice.

But she felt as if cold water had been poured on her heart and a shiver ran through her.

"Was it the heat of the days in the hospital that made me forget that this man had always been like this,

and even looked forward to something?"

Only then did Leopold put down his fork in his hand and looked distrustfully at the woman in front of

him. His eyes lingered for a moment on the plate before him. He was not mistaken, that woman, from a

moment ago, seemed to want to say something but didn't.

"I saw that she was in a really difficult situation, so I took the initiative to ask, but I didn't expect her to

be so insensitive."

Leopold completely ignored the fact that his words had taken on an angry tone.

Seeing the calm in Mariana's face, the anger that Leopoldo had been repressing until now, rose up. He

remembered clearly that when she was in the hospital, her attitude towards him was not like that.

-Mariana, don't get ahead of yourself.

Leopoldo only felt that the indifference on the face of the woman across the room was excessively

harsh.

He had probably behaved so well with this woman in the hospital that he had forgotten what his attitude

should be when it came to her.

-I don't need you to remind me, I'm still clear about my condition. I've finished eating and will go to my

room first.

It turned out that the hospital thing was just a self-inflicted affair. Mariana walked upstairs with heavy

steps and headed straight up before Leopoldo's eyes.

This time, it was Leopoldo who looked at Mariana's back as she walked away. The woman's back was

a bit thin, as if it was going to fall off when the wind blew. A hint of something strange passed through

his heart, but he could not grasp what it was.

But this small feeling was quickly eclipsed by anger. No one had ever so blatantly ignored him.

With that thought, Leopold, holding back his anger, pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and dialed a

number directly.

After a pleasant ring, a girl's melodious voice came on the other end of the line.

-Leopoldo?

Mariana's footsteps as she climbed the stairs stopped for a moment. Leopoldo had no intention of

covering up, and directly turned on the loudspeaker as if he wanted her to hear him, so even though he

was a few meters away, she heard Diana's voice at once.

As always, it was distant and noble, but imbued with a woman's tenderness.

-Are you free tonight?

When she heard Leopold's voice, which was evidently softer in contrast to the indifference he felt when

he spoke to her before, Mariana gradually recovered her senses, and the loss in her heart was quickly

suppressed.

It was good that she knew clearly that she was only an expendable person to Leopoldo.

-Yes.

-There's a party at the office tonight, why don't you attend with me?

-Me?" she looked a little surprised again, keeping the surprise deep in the back of her mind.

Leopoldo narrowed his eyebrows and lowered his voice.

-Mariana has not yet healed from her injury, so it is not convenient for her to attend such a party.

Hearing this, Diana was stunned, she had not expected that one day she would become Mariana's

understudy.

After a brief daze, she smiled:

-Well.

It was probably because Leopoldo was already out the door, so the voice came out a little muffled, but

Mariana still heard the conversation clearly.

As for Diana's response, she didn't need to think too hard to know.

What she couldn't believe was that Leopoldo had used his own injury as an excuse to pursue a girl.

Mariana flashed a smirk, but she didn't know if she was making fun of herself or someone else.

Mariana looked at her "very" healthy body and saw nothing that would disqualify her from going to the

party.

She could understand the difference in treatment between her beloved and the others, but she didn't

know why she had a strange feeling in her heart. However, Mariana did not think about it.
