-Well," Mariana replied, and then realized that the housekeeper had guessed what she was thinking.
This butler was like an old fox, and no matter how she looked at him, she could not take him lightly.
What did it have to do with Leopoldo making coffee? Mariana didn't care about any of that.
Mariana yawned and set out to walk in the direction of the dining room table.
She had just moved a foot to move forward when her eyes caught sight of something familiar. It was
her cell phone, and it looked like the driver had brought her things. She felt great to be able to see the
phone.
-Madam, what is it? -asked the butler when he saw the woman stop in her tracks.
For a moment, Mariana felt that the butler was a bit nosy and said:
-You must be busy, don't worry about me.
Saying this, Mariana did some stretching exercises.
After hearing her say that, the butler could not stay much longer.
-Understood.
The butler looked at Daniel, who was in front of the sofa, and then voluntarily withdrew.
At that moment, there were only two people in the living room, Mariana and Daniel. She looked at her
son, walked over to the sofa and sat down naturally. But Mariana's eyes still couldn't stop prying.
-Mom, what are you doing?
Daniel looked at the woman in confusion. Mariana was moving strangely, as if she was about to steal
something.
-Play with your Legos, don't listen to Mommy," Mariana said nonchalantly to her son before picking up
the cell phone from the table. There was still a lot of work to do and he couldn't be without his phone.
Daniel looked at the woman and continued to play with his own.
Looking at the cell phone in his hand, Mariana's heart eased a little. However, as soon as she opened
WhatsApp, she received several messages from Noe. She could tell Noe was having a hard time
taking care of her.
-Mariana, how are you?
-If she gives you a hard time and you need help, let me know and I'll be sure to find a way to get you
out.
Noe had sent many messages in one night, and the words seemed strained.
Mariana's heart clenched and she hesitated a little whether she wanted Noe to help her or not.
If she let Noe help her, it would complicate things even more. Even more misunderstandings with
Leopoldo would arise.
Looking at her son, Mariana immediately shook her head.
She made a quick decision and typed a few words.
-Thank you, no need.
After sending the message, Noe immediately sent a message back.
-It's good that you're okay.
After the other party said that, she didn't forget to put on a smiley face. Mariana didn't have time to
think about how the other party could have so much free time to message her back so quickly.
She deleted the chat and exhaled a long sigh of relief.
-What are you looking at?
Suddenly, an inquisitive voice reached her ears. Mariana was so shocked that her heart was about to
burst and she unconsciously clutched her chest.
Luckily, she had no heart problems.
-Are you walking quietly? -Mariana looked at the other party as she answered his question.
She thought Leopoldo was a ghost who suddenly appeared and disappeared. She felt helpless before
such a man.
-You have bad ears," Leopoldo said coldly.
Mariana found what the man said very funny.
"What do you mean my ears are bad?"
In short, he was perfect and she was not.
"Arrogant, seriously he's very arrogant!"
-You've only gone one night without looking at your phone, are you that impatient?
Leopoldo's eyes landed on the woman's hand and he teased her mercilessly.
Mariana looked at Leopoldo before remembering that she still had the phone in her hand, and
reflexively put the phone on the table.
-What's wrong? -Leopoldo asked as he observed the woman's behavior.
"Why is she reacting so fast? She looks like a thief."
-I have my own job too, it's not like I'm an idle person -Mariana said as an excuse.
She already proved that she could raise her son alone, so Leopoldo was no big deal.
But in business alone, he had a little more substance than she did. Besides, Mariana's talent was not
bad in this area either. She failed to fail and then went from failure to success.
It was very hard work that no one else knew about.
-I didn't say you were idle, and there's nothing wrong with looking at your phone either," Leopoldo
looked at the woman and said coldly. He had never said he wouldn't let Mariana look at his phone.
Hearing the man say this, Mariana's heart rejoiced.
Leopoldo had no objection to her contacting the outside world. If that was true, would she soon be free
of her confinement?
"That would be great."
-I don't mind you looking at your phone, but you should be aware of something if you want to find help.
Without looking at Mariana's phone, Leopoldo knew the woman feared she would see a message.
That message had to be from someone who wanted to help her get out of this place. And that person
was definitely Noe.
This is the kind of information Leopoldo could easily guess.
He was willing to confront whatever methods Noe used. However, that man was not to show off in front All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
of him.
-What do you mean by that? Don't think that...
Mariana was about to complain to him, but considering that her son was also here, she lowered her
voice and restrained her words.
It was important for her to act in front of her son.
-What do you mean? -Leopoldo grabbed his coffee and walked straight in the direction of the table. He
acted as if for a moment he didn't understand what Mariana meant.
Seeing the man walking away, Mariana hurriedly got up and followed him.
-Aren't you going to let me go? -Mariana asked him. She could not guess the man's mind, but she
could demand an answer.
If he did not want to release her, she would find a way to leave.
-No," Leopoldo took a sip of his coffee and answered coldly. He had already tried to let her go, but this
time it was different, he wanted to choose a way again.
She had to be convinced and accept it. They both had Daniel, and Leopoldo did not believe that there
was no affection between them.
His son was the chip that would connect him with Mariana.
-You are despicable! -Mariana let out a curse when she knew what the man had in mind.
She had already said she wasn't willing, but still he kept forcing himself on her.
