    Chapter 268: Protection


    The grandmother spoke proudly and looked at Mariana with kindness.


    However, upon hearing these words, Mariana''s smile froze as she remembered again what ra had


    said.


    While everyone else praised her and recognized her efforts, her mother forced her to withdraw from the


    program.


    This was truly ironic.


    Mariana felt depressed. The lightness and joy she had just felt dissipated in an instant.


    Seeing his change in expression, Grandma frowned and asked:


    -What''s the matter, Mari? Has something unpleasant happened recently? Or did you encounter


    something difficult to do in the program? Mari, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me or


    Leopoldo, he can help you solve the problem.


    Hearing the grandmother''s worried words, Mariana was quick to hide her emotions and said with a


    smile:


    -It''s okay, Grandma, I can handle all this stuff on my own.


    However, as soon as his words fell, a cold voice rang in his ears.


    -Since Grandma said so, ept, I can help you solve the problems.


    Hearing these words, Mariana looked with some surprise at the impatient man next to her and


    suddenly felt moved, causing her body to slowly warm up.


    I did not expect Leopoldo to say these words.


    Grandma looked at Mariana and Leopoldo and felt very happy.


    I always expected Mariana and Leopoldo to get along like an ordinary couple.


    Grandma gently wrapped Mariana in her arms and caressed her back.


    -Mariana, even if you encounter difficulties, you will ovee them. Just keep walking forward, and


    you will definitely get to where you want to be.


    The words had a deep meaning and Mariana was surprised. She couldn''t help but hug her


    grandmother and bury her face in her warm chest so no one could see her tear-filled eyes.


    As Mariana was going to participate in the recording of a program tomorrow, they left after dinner.


    On the way back, the two remained silent, but both had a different emotion in their hearts.


    Mariana turned her head to look at the cold man standing next to her.


    With dark eyes, straight nose, thin lips and clear jaw line, her face was wless.


    Although Mariana had seen Leopoldo often, she could not help but be amazed by his face each time.


    -What''s wrong with you? Are you in love with me?


    His cold words made Mariana''s heart flutter a little.


    Mariana pursed her lips and turned her head away, the word yes got stuck in her throat and could not


    After a while, Mariana said quietly:


    -Thank you.


    With his eyes still looking straight ahead, Leopoldo said indifferently:


    -If I hadn''t arrived, would I have hit you?


    Mariana did not expect Leopoldo to ask that question.


    In fact, if Leopoldo had not stood in front of her, he would have undoubtedly received his mother''s p.


    This time, Mariana did not remain silent. She smiled and answered him.


    -Yes.


    Leopoldo turned his head and looked at the woman next to him, frowning, but with a smile in his eyes.


    -You can dodge it.


    The words were full of tenderness and concern.


    Mariana let out a self-deprecating smile, looked straight ahead as she spoke softly.


    -Dodge? Can I really dodge it? Even if I dodge this time, what can I do next time? It''s my mother, I can''t


    dodge it forever.

    She felt as if something was pressing hard on her chest.


    ra was her mother, Mariana could not abandon her rtionship with her.


    Leopoldo looked at the woman next to him.


    This woman had initially struck him as a woman who liked only money, but the more time he spent with


    her, the more his impression of her changed.


    "It has many aspects, but which of all is true?"


    This kind of pain about family of origin was something Leopoldo also had, so he could understand


    Mariana when he listened to her.


    -You can dodge it, as long as you are still my wife.


    At that moment, the car arrived at the vi. After indifferently saying these words, Leopoldo got out of


    the car.


    Mariana sat in the car and felt doubt, but at the same time hope.


    "Wife?"


    "But is it really possible?"


    Getting out of the car, Mariana entered the vi, while at that moment, Leopoldo had already returned


    to his room.


    Handing Carmen some food from her grandmother''s house, Mariana also climbed the stairs with her


    tired body.


    Marianay down on her bed, looked at the ceiling, and thought about what Leopoldo had just said.
