    Chapter 205: Family Banquet


    -Mariana, what''s wrong?


    Gently shaking her head, Mariana said bitterly,


    -Nuria, don''t worry, I''m fine.


    She was probably too excited, which caused difort in her heart, which in turn made her whole


    body ufortable.


    After looking Mariana up and down and seeing that she had indeed calmed down little by little, Nuria


    felt relieved and patted her chest, saying with some fear,


    -I think something is wrong when you look like that.


    However, the words stopped here and did not continue, Nuria duly closed her mouth and then moved


    to the side to carefully clean up the scattered water and broken cup.


    When it was all over, Mariana''s face was no longer as white as when she was at the window before.


    Although Nuria was still a little worried, Mariana''s spirit was even more haggard, so she had to stand


    up and speak softly,


    -Mariana, if there''s nothing else, I''ll leave first, so think about what I said.


    In the end, Nuria still said this and left.


    Mariana was again the only one left in the room.


    He looked at the water stain on his pant leg, a puddle of dark streaks.


    Some things were like this water, after all, they sshed, got soaked somewhere else and could never


    However, there was still a very small voice deep in her heart that kept shouting and arguing, but


    Mariana ignored it.


    When she returned in the evening, she was already very tired and had just sat down on the sofa when


    she did not expect that Leopoldo had also returned.


    Raising her eyes, Mariana looked with some astonishment at the man standing in the doorway, and her


    heart sank with a slightly different meaning.

    The nanny quickly approached with a cheerful face, picked up Leopoldo''s coat and hung it on a hanger,


    before speaking with a smile,


    -Sir, why are you back so early today? I am preparing fish soup, you and your wife work hard during


    this time, so you need to drinkter.


    His sword eyebrows furrowed slightly, Leopoldo looked at Mariana who was sitting on the sofa and said


    in a low voice,


    -Today is the day to return to the former residence of the Durán Family.


    After a moment, the nanny said with some self-reproach,


    -I have a bad memory, yes, today is the day of the once-a-month homing party.


    Her eyes trembled and Mariana understood instantly.


    Leopoldo had returned early today because he was going back to the former residence of the Durán


    Family.


    The next moment, cold eyes rested on her body, Mariana hurriedly stood up and spoke abruptly,


    -I''m going upstairs to change.


    When Mariana and Leopoldo arrived, it was alreadyte, and the glow of the setting sun still lingered


    stubbornly not far away, as if it wanted everyone to see it before it gave up, but in the end it could not


    resist the deep night and was dragged mercilessly away.


    With a decent smile on her face, Mariana walked beside Leopoldo and entered the old mansion.


    But to his surprise, he then saw a familiar figure in the room.


    It was Diana Solis.


    Remembering what had happened during the day, Mariana could not help but raise her head and


    looked directly at Leopoldo, her eyes were full ofplex, undisguised emotions, all of which fell into


    the man''s cold, narrow eyes.


    With a shudder in his heart, Leopold furrowed his eyebrows and his thin lips pursed slightly.


    Before I could say anything, the woman had already quickly averted her gaze and looked away.


    At that moment, Diana, who was sitting on the sofa chatting with Juan Duran and Pe with a smile,


    turned her head at that moment when she heard the sound and saw Leopoldo and Mariana walking


    together, her eyes blinked slightly and she was back to normal.


    He had not been to the old mansion before and did not know that Mariana and Leopoldo were married.


    Suddenly he remembered that the Durán Family seemed to have a monthly meeting rule, so he came


    here.


    Although the rtionship between Leopoldo and Juan was not good, just because he was still willing to


    After arriving early, Diana talked to Juan about Leopoldo''s childhood, and all three were not


    embarrassed.


    Rising, she reached Leopold''s side and took him by the arm affectionately, lifting his delicate face and


    speaking in a soft voice,


    -Leo, why are you sote? I''ve been here for a while.


    Then, turning her head, she looked at Mariana, and spoke affectionately,


    -Mariana, it''s been a long time. I heard Leo say that today is the day of your monthly family reunion, so


    I thought I''de and visit Se?or Juan, do you mind?


    With a cold smile, Mariana merely looked at Diana and then averted her gaze, speaking softly,


    -Make yourself at home.


    His head was already hurting from all the news today, and he was already doing his best to deal with


    Pearl and John, so if he had to deal with Diana, he would be forgiven for not wanting to apany


    her.


    With a twinkle in her eye, Pe had already figured out thepetition between the two, and the


    corners of her mouth evoked a faint smile.


    Then he stood up, looked at the three of them and spoke with a smile,


    -All right, now that we''re all here, let''s sit down at the table.


    With that, he helped Juan get to the table together.


    Juan sat at the head table, Pe sat to his right, Leopoldo naturally sat to Juan''s right and sat across


    from Pe.


    Originally, the seat next to Leopoldo should have belonged to Mariana, but Diana sat first and sat next


    to Leopoldo.


    Her eyes trembled and Mariana''s footsteps stopped.


    With a slight apology on her face, Diana looked back at Mariana and spoke in a soft voice,


    -Mari, it is very difficult for me toe to the Durán family for once, I want to sit next to Leo, okay?


    Smiling coldly in her heart, Mariana looked at Leopoldo, the man said nothing and did not even turn


    around.


    This Diana was really ridiculous, she was already sitting in her seat, and only then did she ask him if


    she could.


    If she said no, what could she do? She was sure that in the Durán Family she would have to act as if


    she were too generous and decent to refuse.


    With so much going on today, Mariana didn''t have time to argue with Diana, so she nodded coldly and


    turned around to sit next to Pe.


    The scene was a bit embarrassing, Pe stood up and smiled, took the small bowl the maid had


    handed her, took the soup spoon off the table, picked up a bowl of soup and put it in front of Juan first,


    then gave Mariana another spoonful.


    Mariana picked up the small bowl, took a spoonful and tried a bite, it was very fresh and delicious, her


    cold and deste heart seemed to beforted by the food, Mariana''s face also improved a little.
