Ondo stopped his steps for a moment when he heard what his grandfather said, but in the end he did not answer him.


    Vanessa, hearing the footsteps outside the door, became unconsciously alert, but she knew she couldn’t stop Ondo from entering, as it was their room.


    However, Ondo passed by and Vanessa finally breathed a sigh of relief. After checking that Ondo had left, she closed the door tightly andy down exhausted on the bed.


    Vanessa hadn’t slept very well, so she got up at six in the morning. It was exercise time for Gerardo, so she went to the garden to apany the old man.


    A littleter it was time for breakfast.


    -Grandfather, be careful.


    Vanessa first helped Gerardo sit down, then sat on the other side of the table.


    Jaime came followed by the servants to serve breakfast. When she saw that they put cutlery on the seat next to her, Vanessa was astonished:


    “Is Ondo still here?”


    -Jaime, look where Ondo is, if he doesn’te, he won’t have breakfast.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Jaime curtsied before going to fetch the master, but a few steps away he spotted Ondo alreadying down the stairs.


    -Good morning, grandfather,” greeted Ondo indifferently.


    -It’s already toote! -Gerardo answered seriously.


    Ondo shrugged his shoulders and quickly sat down next to Vanessa, as he had to behave better in front of his grandfather.


    -After the meal, help Vanessa organise dinner. And don’t bezy! Do you hear me?


    -I understand,” Ondo nodded, suppressing his displeasure.


    Gerardo was satisfied with her answer and told Vanessa:


    -Vanessa, this banquet is mainly to wee your Uncle Dn back. I have already had his room made up, what you should do would be to invite some decentdies, as Dn is still a bachelor in his thirties. As your uncle, I wish him a happy marriage as soon as possible.


    -Yes, I understand.


    “So, the banquet is to wee that odious Dn. If I remember correctly, Dn is already thirty-two years old. So, yes, he can be treated as a lord.”


    -Does Dn’s bedroom need to be properly prepared for tonight?


    -No need, Dn’s flight is tomorrow morning.


    -Tomorrow morning?


    “How is that possible? So who did I sleep with two nights ago? Did Dn lie to Grandpa with a fake date ande back early? But why?”


    Vanessa had so many doubts in an instant.


    -Ondo, pick Dn up at the airport tomorrow.


    -Okay,” Ondo was upset, because he didn’t feel like being a chauffeur.


    After breakfast, Gerardo left for thepany and Ondo was not going to help Vanessa without his grandfather’s presence.


    -As my wife, this is your obligation,” Ondo said mockingly and left without looking back.


    Nevertheless, Vanessa sighed in relief because she was actually afraid of Ondo.


    Now she didn’t know Ondo, nor did she understand why the man she had loved so much had changed so drastically.


    Truly, she had looked forward to the idea of a sweet and happy life together after marriage, but now she was left with endless suffering.


    Time flew by and the day of the banquet arrived.
