-Good.
Receiving a kiss from Diana, Leopoldo's cold face did not show the slightest emotion, looking at the
pampered girl in front of him, Leopoldo gave her a slight nod.
-Let's go then!
As if she couldn't wait any longer, Diana took Leopoldo's hand with her slender arm and stepped
forward to lead him.
As she watched the scene unfold not far away, Mariana could not tell what she felt, except that, for
some reason, her heart seemed to tear apart, causing her to feel great pain.
"Forget it, Mariana, what's the point of this? Don't forget you're just a contract wife and Diana is his
girlfriend."
Mariana took a deep breath, and after a long while, the smile on her delicate face seemed
extraordinarily forced and bitter.
Lowering her eyes, Mariana forced herself not to listen or watch Leopoldo and Diana's lovemaking, but
unfortunately Diana didn't seem to want to let her off the hook.
-Right, Leo, Mariana came to the set today to help me with my clothes, how could I forget her?
Diana's footsteps stopped before she could walk out the set door, remembering that she had left
Mariana. With some embarrassment, Diana scratched her head, feeling bad for having forgotten
Mariana.
Diana pursed her lips slightly, her big round eyes looked innocent, but she didn't forget to ask Leopold
for his opinion.
-Good.
As always, Leopoldo said yes to Diana's plea, but Diana, who was still on top of Mariana, did not notice
that Leopoldo's answer was only a lukewarm "yes".
-Wait for me then, I'll go now.
At this point, Diana, as well as the set crew, only felt that Leopoldo pampered her, not to mention that
no matter what she asked for, Leopoldo was always there for her.
This mentality made Diana feel extremely satisfied and increasingly fulfilled.
After greeting Leopoldo, Diana trotted back to the set, with a still graceful pace, until she finally stopped
a step behind Mariana.
-Mariana, I'm so sorry, I forgot you here by accident.
Diana looked at Mariana, whose eyes were slightly dulled, with the same politeness in her words, but
with a smile that had a deeper meaning.
"Mariana couldn't take a blow like that? I'd like to see Mariana run out of breath when she's under my
feet."
-It's all right, Miss Solis. It's getting late, I have to go back.
Mariana was no longer in the mood to think about Diana, so she responded by leaning on her hands
and making a move to leave.
-Yes, Mariana, it's late, and we haven't even eaten. My boyfriend has picked me up, so why don't you
come with us?
Seeing that Mariana was about to leave, Diana stepped forward and blocked Mariana's way.
This comment sounded as if Diana was so concerned about Mariana's health that she would even
allow her to interrupt her date with her boyfriend.
The more she knew that Mariana couldn't take it, the more Diana had to give Mariana harder and
harder blows to make her see her place. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
-Miss Solis, thank you for your kindness, but I am not feeling well today, so I will not be joining you for
dinner.
Diana's deliberate mention that Leopoldo was coming to get her made Mariana's heart clench even
tighter, and at that moment Mariana had only one thought, and that was to get rid of the woman in front
of her as soon as possible.
Making a random excuse, Mariana tried to dodge Diana, not wanting to spend any more time with her,
and not wanting to hear anything from Diana about her amorous encounters with Leopoldo even for a
second.
-Very well. So, Mariana, will we see you next time?
Noticing Mariana's blank stare, Diana smiled even more, not bothered by Mariana's refusal. As far as
she was concerned, her purpose had been fulfilled and whether Mariana went or not was of no
consequence to her.
-Okay.
Diana cleared a path and Mariana hurried away with her bag, even stumbling a bit.
After watching Mariana's figure fade into a small black dot, Diana kept her smile and turned to
Leopoldo.
Seeing that Diana had returned alone, Leopoldo did not react.
-Leo, I just asked Mariana, but unfortunately Mariana is not in a position to try the steak at the western
restaurant today.
Diana's acting skills are top notch, as she is a highly acclaimed star in the entertainment industry, and
in less than a moment, her face was already filled with regret, as if Mariana had missed the best of the
best.
-Let's go.
After hearing Diana's words, Leopoldo simply patted Diana's shoulder, signaling her to leave with him.
-Good! -Diana agreed willingly and took Leopoldo's arm again with her hand.
The way Leopold stroked her shoulder made Diana feel even prouder, sensing that Leopold still cared
about her after all.
Following Leopoldo to the front of the car, Leopoldo got in, followed by Diana.
After about twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of a western restaurant.
Entering the restaurant side by side with Leopoldo, Diana and Leopoldo stood out in the crowd,
causing diners to turn around.
-Isn't that Miss Solis?
-That's Mr. Durán with her, what a perfect couple.
Diana's reputation in the entertainment industry is so strong that she was quickly recognized, and
people spoke carefully, with the words "perfect match" coming out of their mouths.
-What do you want?
Leopoldo, with his usual chivalry, pushed the menu in front of Diana and instructed her to order first.
Diana didn't object and, smiling, took the menu and ordered a few of her favorite dishes before handing
it to Leopoldo.
Throughout the meal, Diana got excited talking to Leopoldo, but Leopoldo said nothing, but just listened
quietly.
