    Chapter 22: She is So Beautiful


    -Change your clothes ande with me.


    Leopoldo sat on the sofa and crossed his legs. His eyes were as deep and dark as obsidian, and the


    soft, warm light reflected off his face, making his features more pronounced.

    -Where to?


    Mariana looked at him in confusion and stood still in the same ce.


    The man seemed to have sensed her confusion.


    The woman moved her head slightly to one side and hastily lowered her head.


    -To the family dinner.


    Leopoldo responded tersely. His tone was so cold that she was unable to see what emotion he had.


    Indeed, this man was still as indifferent as before.


    Mariana''s cheeks reddened slightly and she said:


    -I''m sorry.


    After saying that, she turned and ran up the stairs. Indeed, she had forgotten that the Durán family


    dined together once a month, and although she was only Leopoldo''s nominal wife, she represented the


    Seeing Mariana''s rushing back, Leopoldo instantly remembered the beautiful figure on the catwalk that


    night, and his eyes grew deeper and deeper.


    "Which image is the real her?"


    A few minutester, Mariana got off. As a designer, she had very good taste in dress. She was now


    wearing a short purple jacket and a knee-length white skirt, which fitted her delicate figure perfectly.


    Her long ck hair curled behind her head, giving a hint of elegance.


    -I am very sorry for the dy.


    Mariana nodded slightly and smiled apologetically, her hands slightly clenched.


    -It''s all right.


    Leopoldo looked at her, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he was rarely at home and so it was difficult


    to see a Mariana so well dressed.


    "It has to be said that she was really beautiful."


    But just for a moment, her soft eyes instantly turned cold.


    On the way, Mariana looked out the car window and thought about what she should say at dinner


    tonight.


    The music in the car sounded very soft and pleasant, and the man didn''t say a word as he


    concentrated on driving.


    Mariana turned her head slightly to the side and caught a glimpse of the man''s stern, perfect face and


    her breath hitched for a moment.


    With his high nose, thin red lips, long thick eyshes and, above all, those attractive eyes, it was hard


    for any woman not to be attracted to him.


    Mariana looked away and saw the Durán family vi well illuminated from afar.


    Very quickly they arrived at the vi.


    -Mrs. Mariana, Mr. Leopoldo, wee, Mr. and Mrs. have been waiting for you inside for a long time.


    The butler greeted them respectfully.


    Leopoldo nodded slightly without saying anything, Mariana smiled at the butler saying:


    -Good evening Ramon, thank you very much for tonight.


    -Mrs. Mariana, it is my honor.


    Mariana had a very good impression of this old butler, a very kind old man.


    Leopold looked over at her and casually saw her kind smile, his originally stern look momentarily


    softening.


    The two were led by the servants to the dining room, where Leopold''s father and the others were


    already seated.


    -Hi dad, hi ma''am, how are you?


    Mariana greeted them warmly. Leopoldo had told her that he could not call this woman "mom".


    Leopoldo''s father nodded and motioned for them to sit at the table.


    Juan Durán was about fifty years old, but he looked young and vigorous at his age, and Leopoldo


    looked simr to him, with the same cold eyes.


    The woman sitting next to Juan was not Leopoldo''s mother, but his stepmother, so Leopoldo never


    called her "mother".


    Although Pe Beatriz was already in her forties, she still had a very good figure, but she wore very


    overdone makeup that did not correspond to her age and looked a bit pretentious.


    Mariana did not like this woman who was not what she seemed.


    -How is work going these days, Mari? -asked Juan.


    Hearing Juan''s question, Mariana put her fork in her hand on her te and answered with a smile:


    -Everything is going well.


    This was a regr question and answer at every monthly meeting, Mariana could not understand what


    the meaning of such a formal dinner was....


    -Well, what about you, Leopoldo?


    -All the same.


    Leopoldo responded indifferently, without the slightest intention of chatting with him, and the father


    gave him a disgruntled look.


    -Leo, your father is old, although thepany has been transferred to you, but you should at least talk


    to your father about how thepany works.


    Pe said with a smile, but did not hide the dissatisfaction in her words in the least.


    It had been a long time since she had gotten along with this guy. This guy always showed her an


    indifferent face, without the slightest politeness.


    But in front of his father, he couldn''tin too much.


    Mariana looked at the man next to her, she discovered that he narrowed his eyes slightly, giving her


    stepmother a cold look, as if he was looking at a funny clown.


    -Look, Juan, he won''t even listen to me.


    Pe had no choice but to turn to the father at her side to conceal her embarrassment.


    -Leopoldo, with what attitude do you talk to your mother?


    Leopoldo''s father was naturally on his wife''s side and rebuked his son mercilessly.


    Mariana had already noticed the ufortable atmosphere in the dining room. This father and son


    always quarreled when they met.


    So this once-a-month dinner was just a dispute.


    Mariana could feel the murderous auraing off the man next to her, she took a deep breath and


    gently grabbed the man''s clenched fist under the table.
