Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Overstrain

Looking at her lonely, thin back, the nanny, Carmen, felt sorry for her, but could do nothing about it.

The relationship between the two was not something that others could comment on. What they had personally experienced and how they felt about each other could only be experienced by them.

Carmen sighed and turned around, still looking at the casserole in front of her. However, she remembered once again the expression on Mr. Durán's face when he instructed her to prepare the soup for Mariana when she left in the morning. Although he was still as cold as ever, he was frowning and looked a little different.

Mariana had just sat down on the sofa in the living room when she heard the doorbell ring and couldn't help but feel a little disconcerted.

Since she and Leopoldo lived together, not many people knew the address of this villa. No one came to visit, and since Leopoldo had the key, there was no need to ring the doorbell.

Mariana did not move, but when she saw that Carmen was still cooking, she got up, went to the door, looked through the peephole and then frowned. It was Clara Moreno.

It seemed strange to her. But after a moment, when the doorbell rang again, Mariana opened the door.

-Mom, why are you coming here? -she said indifferently.

Mariana suddenly thought of the recent news widely spread about her and inexplicably felt expectant. She felt a current of warmth sweep through her heart, dispelling the previous chill.

Clara handed the object in her hand to Mariana.

-This is the tonic Grandma asked me to bring you. She said you have been working hard during this time and you need nourishment. Don't overexert yourself.

Mariana smiled with joy. She hurried to take the object and let Clara enter the villa.

They both sat down on the sofa. At that moment, Carmen heard the sound and also came out. When she saw Clara, she seemed to have thought about something and her face did not look good. But seeing that Mariana's mood had improved, she smiled. She came closer and said:

-Ma'am, would you like something to drink? Here is tea and...

-Just give me a glass of water," Clara said coldly.

She looked Carmen up and down, then turned her head disdainfully and stopped talking.

Mariana didn't notice her movements, and Carmen didn't say anything either. Still smiling, Carmen nodded and said kindly:

-Yes, please wait a moment.

Then he left.

Before Carmen was recruited by the grandmother to care for Mariana and Leopoldo, she had already learned about this person beforehand. She knew that Clara was Mariana's mother and that she was now specifically responsible for taking care of the grandmother.

But, after all, they were all maids. Did she think she was nobler than Carmen? Right now Carmen was only willing to call Clara mistress for Mariana's sake.

But she didn't expect Clara to look at her like that.

In fact, the grandmother's maids thought that the reason Mariana was able to marry Leopoldo despite her poor background was entirely because of her grandmother's affection, not because of Clara.
