Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 344

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.

-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.
