Chapter 68: Husband

There was a pause before she continued:

-I will find another way to pay for the breach of contract. Pay more attention to the work of the wardrobe

team. I have something to do, I'm hanging up.

After saying this, he hung up the phone.

Mariana approached Zoraida's bed, looked at her and asked:

-Zoraida, are you hungry or thirsty? I'm going to pour you a glass of water.

Mariana poured a glass of water and carefully lifted Zoraida and gave her a drink.

-Zoraida, how are you? Are you all right?

He put the glass aside, Mariana sat next to him.

-Well, I feel fine," Zoraida's hoarse voice made Mariana's heart ache. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Mariana was disconcerted and covered Zoraida with a

blanket. Then she got up and opened the door.

Opening the door, however, she froze. "Why is he coming?"

The man in front of her was tall and stood in the doorway blocking the light, his shadow enveloping

Mariana.

It was Leopoldo.

She still remembered the discomfort of the last time the two of them had caused. These days she was

here to take care of Zoraida and, in fact, she was also avoiding Leopoldo.

Because I didn't want to see him yet and didn't know how to deal with him.

-Why did you come? -asked Mariana in a hoarse voice, while her heart was pounding.

Mariana looked at him and could not see the expression on his face because of the light. She lowered

her head to hide the panic she felt.

-This place is small and not so clean, better not come in, if you come for the set....

However, before Mariana could finish, Leopoldo interrupted her:

-I come here not because of the set.

He then passed by her and entered the house.

Mariana froze for a moment, then followed him.

Leopoldo looked at the old woman lying on the bed and his expression changed slightly,

-Mariana, who is it?

Zoraida stood up with difficulty and looked at Mariana who was behind Leopoldo asking confused

questions.

Hearing this, Mariana went to Zoraida's side and gently lifted her up and helped her lean against the

wall.

However, Mariana did not know how to introduce Leopoldo.

Leopoldo looked at Zoraida and then looked at Mariana and said:

-I am Leopoldo Durán, Mariana's husband.

"Husband?"

Hearing these words, Mariana froze for a moment.

-Leopoldo, come closer and let me see you.

With that, he beckoned Leopoldo to come closer.

Mariana hid her excitement and grabbed Zoraida's hand.

-Zoraida...

However, the next moment, Leopoldo went to the bed and was next to Mariana.

-Zoraida.

Zoraida placed Leopoldo's hand over Mariana's hand.

Looking at the folded hands, Mariana was stunned. She had not expected such a cold person to have

such warm hands.

-Since you are married, you must live together for the rest of your lives, your hands must never be

separated.

Suddenly, Leopoldo squeezed Mariana's hand. She looked at him in surprise.

For a moment, Mariana also forgot to take her hand away from Leopoldo's.

-That's good.

Zoraida nodded in satisfaction, but her hand dropped weakly, as if she were very tired.

Mariana hastily removed her hand from Leopoldo's and gently lowered Zoraida onto the bed.

-Zoraida, rest, I am going to prepare meals.

The two left the room, Mariana closed the door. Then she went to the kitchen and Leopoldo followed

her.

When she reached the kitchen door, Mariana frowned and felt annoyed. She wanted to say something

to Leopoldo and turned around, but bumped into the man's hard chest and fell backwards.

Mariana shouted.

The next moment, a warm palm caught her, the warmth of the hand penetrated her skin, and gradually

spread to all parts of her body, and her cheeks flushed.

At that moment, sunlight poured down on them.

Mariana looked at Leopoldo with her mouth open. There was an elegance in his gaze that she had

never had before.

Leopoldo exerted some force to pull Mariana closer to him.

Feeling that strength, Mariana hurried to move away from Leopoldo. After standing up, she was a little

nervous and dazed.

-Thank you.

However, Mariana's words made Leopoldo's heart flutter.

Mariana turned around, walked into the kitchen and started cooking. She was busy cooking, but she

could still feel Leopoldo's burning gaze. Thinking about what had happened, Mariana felt more tense.

Mariana prepared two simple dishes. She went into the room and fed Zoraida. Then she came out and

sat down next to the table. She did not dare to look at Leopoldo directly and said:

-Let's eat, there aren't many ingredients here, so suck it up.

By this time, the only sound left in the room was the sound of eating, making the atmosphere between

them seem even stranger.

After finishing the meal in silence, Mariana took the dishes to the kitchen to clean them. When she

came out, she did not expect to see Leopoldo in the courtyard, raising his head to look at the stars in

the sky. His face was peaceful and different from the usual.

Mariana felt joyful. She untied her apron and approached the man, also raising her head to look at the

sky.

-The stars tonight are beautiful.

It seemed like a long time since he had seen a sky full of stars.
