Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Don't forget your identity

Leopold's body stiffened slightly, and the hostility under his eyes gradually dissipated. He looked at the hand the woman was holding tightly, as if thinking about something.

Mariana gave him a slight smile, and then said without panic:

-Dad, Leo has done quite well in the company.

-Ugh, I was just kidding, don't take it seriously, Mari.

Without waiting for Leo's father to respond, Perla hurried to say, barely keeping a smile on her face.

Juan had a good impression of his daughter-in-law, and Perla was not stupid enough to provoke Mariana.

-Leo, you should come home more often when you are free, your father and I miss you, and I also want to do my duty as a mother," said Perla with feigned sympathy.

Leopold looked up slightly, and stared indifferently at Perla, but had no intention of speaking to her.

-Pearl is talking to you, are you deaf or what? -asked Juan, angry, when he saw how indifferent Leopoldo was.

-Yes.

Leopoldo nodded his head, without changing his expression. You couldn't see the good or bad in his mood.

It was Mariana who was a little anxious. She looked at the serene and stern man beside her and hurried to say:

-Dad, Leo is not feeling well today.

As expected, after hearing Mariana's words, Leo's father said nothing more.

She sighed in secret relief, picked up the glass she had on hand and handed it to Leopoldo:

-Drink some water, you are already very tired today.

Leopoldo looked at her and you could tell that a glint of imperceptible emotion shone in his eyes.

Mariana looked up and met those deep, cold eyes.

He hurriedly averted his eyes, his heart beating slightly faster.

Leopoldo took the glass of water from his hand and took a few sips, and his depressed mood seemed to have calmed down a bit.

-Juan, don't get angry. Leo's character is like that, you don't need to get so upset. I'm used to it.

Perla stood up and stopped Leopoldo's father, who wanted to lecture Leopoldo, but her words were like adding fuel to the fire.

Mariana couldn't help but grimace inwardly, thinking that this Pearl was really as sly as a slut.

Perla clearly knew that Leopoldo had lost his mother, but she still liked to mention his mother in front of him, wasn't this an intentional provocation?

-Ma'am, there are many things to do in the company, Leo is usually in the company working, and even he doesn't have much time to be with me. It's really not that I don't want to visit them," Mariana said in a tender voice.

Without waiting for Perla to respond, he spoke again:

-Grupo Duran is a big company after all, Leo is busy every day for work. We just got off work and rushed to come, please madam, understand Leo a little bit.

Mariana didn't back down at all, for some reason she didn't want others to speak ill of Leopoldo, especially such a blatant provocation as Perla's.
