Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 345

Chapter 345: Mrs. Durán

At the reception, when Leopoldo and Diana appeared together, the crowd was surprised and justified, as they had heard that Leopoldo's wife had been injured and hospitalized a few days ago.

Indeed, there was no way she would attend such an occasion.

Only Leopoldo had chosen Diana as his date for the party, and although it seemed inappropriate, seeing such a talented couple was gratifying to the eyes.

A slightly wealthy middle-aged man, seeing Leopoldo enter and carrying a glass of wine, immediately approached and said:

-I heard that Señora Durán was hospitalized, I guess it's not a big deal.

Leopoldo's brow furrowed imperceptibly. The commotion that had been made behind his back was not unknown to him, and the displeasure was only fleeting, so fast that not even Diana, at his side, noticed it.

-Thank you Mr. Bolaños for your concern. Mariana's body is no longer serious, she just needs some time to recover.

The two exchanged pleasantries, leaving Diana completely aside.

It was not known how long she was there, but only then Leopoldo seemed to remember Diana Solis at his side.

-This is Miss Solis, I'm sure Mr. Bolanos knows her too.

-I know her, I know her. I have always admired Miss Solis' reputation, and I am fortunate to meet her today.

-I have also been an admirer of Mr. Bolaños for a long time." Diana behaved kindly, living up to her reputation as a talented woman from a wealthy family.

Leopoldo was not usually fond of such social occasions. Besides, having been angry with Mariana at home, he had no desire to deal with these people again.

At first, he was able to deal with him patiently, but after a few more people, Leopoldo lost the patience he had at first, and his words revealed impatience.

After a couple of encounters in a row, no one dared to approach him.

As the person next to Leopoldo, Diana could sense his impatience directly and found a pretext to walk away.

Thinking about what happened this morning, Leopoldo had nowhere to vent the boredom in his heart, so he could only drink his glass of red wine in one gulp.

He didn't know if it was his mood or the fact that everything was not going well today, but Leopoldo, who has always been an excellent drinker, felt slightly drunk after a few glasses.

At that moment, Mariana was tossing and turning in her bed, the sheets were moving from one side to the other, making a mess.

It was very late and Leopoldo still hadn't returned.

"Is he going to spend the night out?"

This possibility crossed Mariana's mind, who thought that as Leopoldo's nominal wife, he would respect her.

But now, he was really going to spend the night with another woman.

No, she steadied herself and turned away. It was still dark heading for the main door on the first floor, without the half-light of the headlights.

After another unknown period of time, Mariana gradually gave up. But then she thought, the two were lovers, and she was only a nominal wife, what reason did she have to feel bad?

As she struggled in her mind, a faint light flickered on downstairs, becoming clearer and clearer until the sound of a car engine sounded.

Mariana hurried to turn off the light and pretended to have fallen asleep.

Soon the car stopped in the courtyard and the sound abruptly ceased, and the night was, once again, silent.

Shortly thereafter, a creaking sound was heard at the bedroom door, and then the door opened. The room was immediately filled with a strong smell of alcohol.

Mariana did not continue to pretend to be asleep, but immediately turned on the lamp on the bedside table and saw Leopoldo standing by the door, looking drunk, with his suit jacket still in his hand and his tie torn and disarranged around his neck.

It was as if they had just experienced something indescribable.
