Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Covers

She was only in her forties or fifties, half of her hair had turned white, looking vitiated and aged. His back was slightly hunched, he was picking vegetables from the pot at the moment, both eyebrows were always furrowed.

As if sensing something strange, the woman looked back, slightly dazed, and the next second she was in great joy, standing up and walking quickly towards Mariana,

-Mari, why did you come back today? Have you eaten? If not, I'll go and prepare it for you now.

Hearing these words, Mariana's vision became a little blurry.

He stepped forward, hugged the woman in front of him tightly, his voice trembling, and finally said:

-Mom.

This person was none other than his mother, Clara Moreno.

-Hey, it's been a long time since you've been back to the house, the last time you came back was....

The words stopped suddenly and Clara's surprised face froze for a moment, then her face turned ugly.

He pushed his daughter away, and his eyes were full of disgust and coldness as he said the sarcastic words:

-What are you doing back? You didn't even care about my life back then, so what are you doing here now! Aren't you the great designer now?

Each harsh word hit Mariana hard, causing her face to suddenly turn pale. Her body shuddered almost uncontrollably, and her eyes widened somewhat incredulously as she looked at her mother,

-You told Dad the news that I was on the set, didn't you?

-So what if?

Mariana's heart broke,

-Mom, you know very well the person he is, and yet....

Before Mariana could finish her sentence, she was immediately interrupted by Clara:

-Who is it? Isn't it your dad?

Mariana shook her head repeatedly and couldn't help but take a step back.

-Do you dislike him for being a player? Or are you upset that he lost face for you? You're an adult now! You don't even think you have a father and mother anymore, do you?

The only thing that remained in front of her eyes were the thick lips that opened and closed. Mariana turned and ran away, the next second, tears spilled from her eyes. Hot tears crossed her cheeks, and the sarcastic voices behind her continued.

When I looked up again, there was a simple tavern on the side of the road. The owner, an old woman with gray hair, was preparing the food expertly.

A faint fragrance hung in the air and Mariana's stomach couldn't help a sound. She hadn't eaten so far, and her long run had left her exhausted.

Walking toward the tavern, Mariana found a small table and sat down, saying to the old woman:

-Old lady, beer and tapas.

-Okay.

The owner's voice put Mariana in a much more relaxed mood.

Soon after, a beer and tapas were brought in that looked very appetizing.

Tears filled her eyes. She thought back to that birthday cake with three candles in the decoration, and in the end she had missed that chance to make a wish.
