    Chapter 458: Three Years


    -Okay, I promise.


    Noe thought it was no big deal. He definitely didn''t want Leopoldo to know that Mariana was here.


    Seeing that the man had agreed, Mariana was slightly relieved. As long as she could promise him, it


    was no big deal.


    -Thank you," he said kindly.


    Mariana was very happy that Noe could help her.


    -Mariana, you don''t have to be so polite to me.


    Noe looked at the woman and even wanted to tell her that she could help her with anything. But it


    seemed that Mariana would not agree.


    There would never be any room for negotiation on what she decided.


    When she said she didn''t need Noe, it meant she really didn''t need him. If he did it the hard way, it


    would only get Mariana to avoid him. Noe didn''t want things to go to that extreme, so she had to


    restrain herself.


    -I''m leaving tomorrow, so Mr. Cantero, it''s best that we stop seeing each other in the future.


    Mariana''s eyes rested on the man''s body and she spoke coldly. Her expression was clear, there was


    no need to have any more dealings with Noe.


    When Leopoldo finds out, Noe will not have a good time.


    -Mariana, but if you''re alone.... -Noe looked at Mariana with concern.


    How could he be at ease leaving her alone?


    And there was still a child in Mariana''s womb, what would she and her daughter do in the future?


    Sometimes, it was not possible to do things right just because you had money in your hands.


    Noe looked at the woman and was not very relieved.


    Mariana smiled and looked at the man.


    -What happens to me has nothing to do with you.


    She and Noe weren''t very close in the first ce. Especially now that he was secretly following her


    behind her back, Mariana couldn''t figure out the reason for his behavior.


    -Mariana - Noe called out to her, but stopped short.


    Mariana didn''t stay still and walked straight out of the room. Her eyes were cold, and she had already


    made up her mind from the moment she left Leopoldo. So at times like this, Noe''s trivial words were of


    no use to her.


    He would not agree to have any contact with Noe and would not allow him to help her.


    -Very well, Mr. Cantero, goodbye," Mariana looked at him and said indifferently.


    Then she coldly walked out the door of the room without looking back. She needed to get out of this


    hotel fast so she wouldn''t be followed again.


    Leopoldo sat in his office with the memory of the woman constantly on his mind.


    The look of that woman was already deeply engraved in his mind. For a while, there was no way to


    forget her....


    ***


    Three yearster.


    -Daniel,e here!


    Mariana was standing on the first floor, scolding with her arms crossed as she looked at the mess in


    the house with a snort. She had only been out for a moment, and when she returned, the house was in


    this state.


    It was her son who had caused all the damage to the house: Daniel Ortiz.


    -Mom, why did you juste back? I''m starving -Daniel sat down on the floor and looked at his mother


    with dissatisfaction. Her eyes were full of contempt, and he actually felt a slight pain in his heart.


    Mariana left early in the morning and has just returned.


    -Where are the snacks? -Mariana looked at her son and walked over to the snack cab, opening it


    with one hand. Only to see that the cab had long since been empty.


    Daniel looked at the woman and muttered:


    N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    -There hasn''t been any since the day before yesterday, I''ve told you that many times before -Daniel


    looked at the woman with vague resignation. It seemed that, in his own mother''s eyes, work was more


    important than his son.


    -Eating snacks all the time is not an option, you''re growing up," Mariana looked at the empty closet and


    spoke suddenly.


    The nannies who had been hired earlier to take care of Daniel were caught in the crossfire, and no one


    was willing to take care of him anymore. This, coupled with the fact that he was overseas, made it


    especially difficult to hire someone to take care of him.


    Mariana sighed and looked at her son.


    -Daniel,e here," Mariana sat down on the sofa and held out her hand to Daniel.


    Daniel looked at the woman and hesitated for a moment, but still ran in her direction on his short legs.


    -Mom! -He put his soft hand on the woman''s face.


    -Mom has a very important matter to discuss with you," Mariana looked at her son and said seriously.


    Daniel had a brilliant idea and immediately spoke:


    -I don''t want an aunt!


    Deep down he resisted his aunt and preferred to take care of himself rather than have Mariana hire


    someone to take care of him. But Mariana had no choice but to do it, and it was the only way to feel at


    ease.


    - "It''s not about the aunt," Mariana shook her head.


    "If it''s not an aunt, then what?"


    -Is it good news or bad news? -Little Daniel had a twinkle in his eye, full of curiosity.


    Like a little boy receiving good news, Daniel felt especially happy regardless of whether it was good


    news or bad news. It was as if in his world there was only happiness.


    Mariana paused and then spoke:


    -It must be good news for you.


    -And for mom? -Daniel looked at the woman, full of confusion.


    Then Mariana spoke again:


    -If it''s good news for Daniel, then it''s good news for mom too.


    All of Mariana''s dedication was for the sake of her son. Her world basically revolved around him.


    -Then Mom can talk," Daniel looked at the woman expectantly.


    Mariana hesitated for a moment and then spoke:


    -Mom is going to move the center of her work to her home country, with this ce as a subsidiary.


    -Huh?


    Daniel didn''t quite get it, after all, at his age, he still couldn''t understand what a "subsidiary" was. He


    looked at her with much puzzlement in his eyes.


    -It means that Mom is taking Daniel to live in her country," Mariana looked at her son and added the


    exnation. Looking at her son''s crooked head was really adorable too.


    Daniel was silent for a moment and then said:


    -Can I go back to my country?


    Going back to his home country had always been a longing for Daniel. He always felt that he was


    slightly different from the people in the country where they were, but that difference seemed to be in his


    own mother.


    "It''s okay, what Mom had, Daniel will have too."


    -Yes, Mom is going to take you to your hometown.


    Mariana observed that at her son''s young age, he could have a keen sense of patriotism. Seeing this,


    Mariana''s heart was also greatly relieved.


    Perhaps if Daniel returned home, he would grow up better.


    "After three years, I wonder how he''ll do."


    -Great!


    Daniel was overjoyed. This news was the happiest he had heard so far.
