Please behave My Lord novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68: Husband

There was a pause before she continued:

-I will find another way to pay for the breach of contract. Pay more attention to the work of the wardrobe team. I have something to do, I'm hanging up.

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Mariana approached Zoraida's bed, looked at her and asked:

-Zoraida, are you hungry or thirsty? I'm going to pour you a glass of water.

Mariana poured a glass of water and carefully lifted Zoraida and gave her a drink.

-Zoraida, how are you? Are you all right?

He put the glass aside, Mariana sat next to him.

-Well, I feel fine," Zoraida's hoarse voice made Mariana's heart ache.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Mariana was disconcerted and covered Zoraida with a blanket. Then she got up and opened the door.

Opening the door, however, she froze. "Why is he coming?"

The man in front of her was tall and stood in the doorway blocking the light, his shadow enveloping Mariana.

It was Leopoldo.

She still remembered the discomfort of the last time the two of them had caused. These days she was here to take care of Zoraida and, in fact, she was also avoiding Leopoldo.

Because I didn't want to see him yet and didn't know how to deal with him.

-Why did you come? -asked Mariana in a hoarse voice, while her heart was pounding.

Mariana looked at him and could not see the expression on his face because of the light. She lowered her head to hide the panic she felt.

-This place is small and not so clean, better not come in, if you come for the set....

However, before Mariana could finish, Leopoldo interrupted her:

-I come here not because of the set.

He then passed by her and entered the house.

Mariana froze for a moment, then followed him.

Leopoldo looked at the old woman lying on the bed and his expression changed slightly,

-Mariana, who is it?

Zoraida stood up with difficulty and looked at Mariana who was behind Leopoldo asking confused questions.

Hearing this, Mariana went to Zoraida's side and gently lifted her up and helped her lean against the wall.

However, Mariana did not know how to introduce Leopoldo.

Leopoldo looked at Zoraida and then looked at Mariana and said:

-I am Leopoldo Durán, Mariana's husband.

"Husband?"

Hearing these words, Mariana froze for a moment.

-Leopoldo, come closer and let me see you.
