Chapter 151: You Think It Was Me
After only two steps, the grandmother bumped head-on into Clara, who looked up with concern and asked in an urgent voice:
-Ma'am, are you all right? Why don't you let them both out?
He waved his hand and continued down the stairs, speaking softly:
-What's wrong with it, there's still food and drink inside, even if there isn't, it's okay to starve for a day.
With a glance back at the closed door behind her, her wise eyes filled with satisfaction:
-This way, maybe not only will they be closer, but then I'll even have my great-grandchild.
Clapping her hands together with a loud clap, Grandma couldn't help but feel increasingly pleased with her decision, and smiled as she walked briskly down the stairs.
At that moment, inside the study, Mariana reluctantly turned the doorknob again, but still couldn't turn it, "what grandma said must be true."
With a shrinking heart, Mariana turned around, but the next moment she saw a pair of cold, stern eyes, with a strong pressure.
Leopoldo, who had his back to her, at some point turned around and stared at her, causing her to squeeze the handle of the medicine cabinet in her hand.
The hard touch brought Mariana back to her senses before she remembered that she had come to deliver medicine and, after a moment's hesitation, she moved forward and placed the box of medicine on the table.
-Grandma asked me to give it to you.
Then the room fell back into an uncomfortable silence.
None of them spoke.
After a while, Mariana looked out the window, today she had arrived early, the sun was shining brightly at this time, it must be noon.
She glanced around the studio and saw some food and drinks in a corner, as if they had been specially prepared. Mariana was stunned for a moment, then shook her head, she wanted to laugh.
She went ahead, took some bread and chewed it in her mouth, and when she felt thirsty, she drank some milk, ignoring Leopoldo's presence, as if she were the only one in the room.
Holding back some of the turmoil in her heart, Mariana took a tissue and carefully wiped her fingers.
"I still don't know when I'll be able to get out. I can still hold on, but the baby in my belly can't."
He was about to sit down on the couch to rest for a while when he saw the first aid kit on the table.
It had probably been some time since she had arrived at the studio, Leopoldo was sitting indifferently behind the desk, his face expressionless, lowering his eyes, and he did not cry out in pain, which made Mariana forget for a moment.
Her heart flashed with a slight pain, Mariana put her hands together and rubbed them unconsciously, taking the first aid kit and walking to Leopoldo's side.
After a moment's hesitation, he still spoke softly:
-Let me help you put some medicine on you, or else the wound behind ...
"Grandma like this is not just talking, with dexterity can naturally penetrate inside the shirt and hit the skin hard."
Hearing this, Leopoldo, who had remained silent, raised his eyes to look at Mariana, his eyes contained a slightly different deep meaning, which made people shudder.
The cold and stern man said nothing, but quickly took off his shirt. The white shirt fell down, revealing his strong, lean upper body. Mariana looked away in panic.
By this time, Leopoldo had already turned around and had his back to Mariana.
After a while, Mariana opened her eyes and looked at Leopoldo's back, which had several scattered red marks, already a little red and swollen, some even with a little red blood.
Mariana couldn't help but gasp as she covered her mouth, repressing the cry of surprise that was about to come out of her mouth.
"Grandma has done something really cruel this time."
Opening the medicine box, she found the ointment to stop the bleeding, Mariana used a cotton swab to dab some and then carefully applied the medicine to Leopoldo.
The cold ointment fell on the burning wound, bringing a slight sense of comfort, which made Leopold's heart flutter.
This imperceptible movement startled Mariana, who was watching Leopoldo at all times, and she stopped at his movements.
With slightly furrowed eyebrows, he couldn't help but speak softly:
-Did I hurt you? Then I'll be a little softer.
-All right.
The cold, hard words, dark and deep, with an indescribable meaning, fell hard on Mariana's ears, who could not help biting her lips.
Then, he continued to apply the medicine, only his movements were still a little softer.
-That's it.
When the medicine was finally applied, Mariana straightened her back and exhaled loudly, only then did she realize that, due to her nervousness, a thin sweat had appeared on her forehead.
Hearing these words, the man who had remained quiet and still picked up his shirt and put it on, stood up and looked at Mariana in a somewhat condescending way, with deep glances.
Seeing such an intimidating man, Mariana could not help but take a few steps back with the first aid kit in her hand.
-What now? -We... can't go out.
The word "we" always carried a strange emotion, which made Mariana pause involuntarily.
"How can we be us between Leopoldo and me?"
She smiled bitterly. When Leopoldo heard these words, he had already averted his gaze, looked at the window.
-Let's wait for Grandma to open the door for us.
The cold, harsh words rang out overhead, causing Mariana to be stunned.
"So, we really can't go out today .... Let Leopoldo and I be together for a day and a night," just thinking about it Mariana couldn't help but shake her head.
Suddenly, a faint voice reached his ears again, with a slight questioning sense.
-Have you told grandma about Diana?
The voice rose slightly, but carried an even worse meaning, pressing Mariana.
His eyes fluttered, and before he could react, Mariana smiled with a sarcastic meaning,
-Do you think it was me?
"In the end it turned out that he blamed me. I thought about it when I got the call from Grandma, and I've already been lucky, but now it looks like it's coming."
Mariana looked up and looked at Leopoldo, but her eyes contained a fine tinge of sarcasm, which caused Leopoldo to squint slightly.
-Wasn't it you?
After thinking about it, she felt ridiculous again, since he had already said it, wasn't it already determined in her heart?
Without another struggle, Mariana lowered her eyes and spoke in a low voice:
-Yes, it was me who told grandma that Diana came to the villa, but so what? She came as a mistress to question your legal wife, is there anything wrong with me doing that?
The man's eyes immediately turned cold and looked at Mariana, but she continued to look at Leopoldo firmly and did not dodge.
