Chapter 390: Difficult to swallow
-No, how could I have anything to say to you? -Mariana shook her head and looked at Leopoldo shyly.
She pretended nothing had happened and acted calm.
Leopoldo looked at Mariana with some suspicion and was slightly surprised.
Just by looking at her, Leopoldo always felt something strange.
-No? -Leopoldo looked at her incredulously, with suspicion written in his eyes. If nothing was wrong,
why had she remembered to prepare a nice meal for him?
It all seemed very strange.
-First try the food.
All of Mariana's attention was on the man, waiting to see how Leopoldo would react after eating his
own food.
As a result, Mariana wanted to see his culinary skills.
-Okay, I'll try it.
Leopoldo picked up the soup on the table and tasted it. He also wanted to know what Mariana's
craftsmanship was really like.
When the meal was over, Mariana would naturally talk about it.
Anyway, with the knowledge Leopoldo had of Mariana, it was impossible that this woman had nothing.
Seeing this, there was most likely something she had to discuss with him.
He thought about it for a moment and gave the other party a chance.
But when he tasted the soup, it was a complete mess. Leopold couldn't tell what was wrong with the
soup. But he could feel that it was the worst soup he had ever tasted.
Mariana wasn't asking him to do anything, but that she wanted to hurt him?
-Did you do it on purpose? -Leopoldo looked at the soup and questioned her.
This soup was really hard to drink. Leopoldo had a hard time swallowing it and asked the other party
directly. He wanted to know if Mariana had tasted the soup he had made or not, and then he let her
drink it.
Leopoldo had become Mariana's guinea pig.
-Is it so hard to drink?
Mariana didn't know, she hadn't tasted a single bite of the soup to give Leopoldo this surprise and see
his first reaction.
It was very unsatisfactory if she looked at it now.
It had been a long time since he had cooked and his culinary skills had regressed a lot. Seeing
Mariana's innocent expression, Leopoldo's heart understood that he really didn't know.
-It's quite tasty," Leopoldo affirmed at once to the other party.
Surprisingly, he had made it with his heart, and it was the best soup. Leopoldo's heart had his own
thoughts, he knew that when Mariana heard that, she would simply rejoice.
She was overjoyed to receive such high praise from Leopoldo.
-Really? -Mariana looked at him with an incredible look.
-Yes.
Without saying a word, Leopoldo placed the soup in front of him. Mariana's heart skipped a beat, in
fact, if it was good, it was not so exaggerated to drink it all.
Still, Mariana's heart was happy.
-Can you say it now, what is it you want to discuss with me? -Leopoldo asked directly to reduce
Mariana's mental burden. She looked at the soup in the bowl and hesitated a little.
But a second later, he returned to his soup.
-I have something to discuss with you," Mariana looked at him and finally opted to show her hand. Or
maybe from the beginning, Leopoldo had already guessed what she had in mind.
At times like this, there was no need to deny it.
Leopoldo nodded, still drinking his soup.
Mariana paused before speaking.
-The day after tomorrow, my fans are going to give me a meeting. So I want to ask you if I can go.
Her eyes were full of anticipation as she waited for the man's answer.
Naturally, it was best if she could go, it had been a long time since she had had a private fan meeting
like this one. When she had been to the Duran Group before, Leopoldo had made it clear to her that it
was not allowed.
These rules were still binding the woman with stealth now.
-"Go if you want, you don't have to get my approval for many things now that you have set up your own
studio," Leopoldo said seriously as he ate his food.
He knew Mariana had some growing up to do.
With this kind of opportunity, now Leopoldo's concept was different. He will protect her in the shadows,
he will be the backbone behind her, he will not dare to do anything to Mariana, and he will support her
unconditionally.
This, as always, will not change.
-Really? -Mariana looked at him and her heart was also filled with joy. At first, she had never thought
that Leopoldo would agree to her so easily, so she felt very happy.
The meal, it seemed, went well.
-Yes," Leopold hurried to eat and answered the other party. It didn't have to be a big deal, it wasn't as if
Mariana didn't have the right to make her own decisions. As long as she wanted to, he would support
her.
Mariana looked at the table full of food and felt a pounding in her heart. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
-Butler, bring me a couple of bowls and chopsticks," Mariana also felt hungry and opened her mouth to
tell the butler.
There was a table full of food and she wanted to try it. No doubt she would take the time to cook for
Leopoldo a few more times, since he liked it so much.
-Yes," the butler replied, and prepared to fetch the dishes.
By this time, Leopoldo was struggling to prove that the rice was good. He had eaten two bowls of rice
in a row, and now his stomach was almost full, and he was really stuffed.
He swallowed almost right away, without chewing much.
-Take your time eating, I'll go up first.
Not wanting to wear out his welcome in front of Mariana, Leopoldo opted to go upstairs. With so many
delicacies, Mariana would be able to taste them on her own.
Now he had to go upstairs and take a good breath.
-Well," Mariana replied, with surprising and unexpected good humor.
When Leopoldo went upstairs, the housekeeper also brought up the dishes. Mariana looked at the few
remaining dishes and felt pleasant. She picked up a small piece of meat and put it in her mouth.
But a moment later, Mariana spat it out.
-Madam, what is it? -The butler next to her saw the scene and hurried to ask.
How is it that she vomited when she was eating well? Just now, when Mr. Durán was eating, he was
taking one big bite after another, and it looked tasty. How is it that when it comes to Mariana, something
went wrong?
-This is very hard to eat," Mariana looked at the food in front of her and her heart filled with contempt.
It looked like there were still some dishes left, but when it reached her mouth it was simply unpalatable.
Mariana felt that the food she had cooked was really stimulating to her taste buds.
But just a moment ago, Leopoldo was eating very well.
-Mayordomo, do you know if there is something wrong with my taste buds? -Mariana looked at him and
spoke suddenly.
The butler only picked up his chopsticks after Mariana spoke, ready to taste how unappetizing it really
was. As expected, the butler merely took a bite and promptly spit it out.
The food seriously tasted bad.
-Madam, it is too salty and has a strange smell," the butler told the truth, informing Mariana.
Leopoldo had eaten a large portion of all these dishes. Mariana looked at the dishes on the table and
her heart filled with a pang of guilt.
