Chapter 275: Love Image

-It's nothing, I just sprained my foot, don't worry.

Diana looked at Leopoldo with an innocent smile, but she did not imagine that in his eyes she was a girl

pretending to be mature and the anguish in her heart increased even more.

-You say it doesn't hurt with your foot like that. You don't know how to love yourself at all.

Leopold had no choice but to squat down and examine his wounds.

She had a large bruise on her ankle, it was so different from her normal skin color that she cried out in

pain as soon as Leopoldo touched it with his hand.

Mariana watched rigidly as the man in front of her carefully examined Diana's wound. She felt her heart

beating so hard that she got a little scared and it started to hurt. At this moment, she felt like a joke,

useless for anything.

Tears blurred her vision, so that she could not see clearly what was happening in front of her, except for

a vague glimpse of Leopold crouching down. The image was so beautiful and loving.....

She stifled a sob, trying to speak but unable to open her mouth.

"As far as I can remember, he's never cared that much about me..."

-I was just telling Mariana politely about the Internet, who would have thought that they... -said Diana

sadly, with tears in her eyes.

-Mariana, what's wrong with you? There's no need to do this even if you hate Diana, right? And what if

something had gone wrong? -Leopoldo reprimanded her with a horrible face.

Nuria tried to defend her, but was stopped. She saw Mariana shake her head helplessly and force

herself to smile as she reassured her.

-All right.

He then looked at Leopoldo for a long moment before speaking. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

-All right.

-Diana is my girlfriend, I hope everyone can respect her in the future and that this will not happen

again.

Leopold's eyes shone with light so cold it made it chilling, but when he looked at Diana they were full of

tenderness, as if they were the only people in the world.

-Wow!" the people in the room exclaimed in unison.

The news was too alarming to be true!

-Those who have lasted this long are capable, so I hope they don't get carried away by pride,"

Leopoldo continued.

Hearing this, Nuria involuntarily froze and turned her head to look at Mariana, knowing it was an

explanation to the gossip that she had a sponsor. But when she thought about what Leopoldo had just

done, she had mixed feelings for a moment.

Meanwhile, Mariana's eyes were wide open and sadness and shock invaded her, as if tens of

thousands of ants were biting her. The pain was so great that she could not say a word.

Her teeth chattered in pain, but she had to smile as if nothing had happened and give them

congratulations. No one noticed how ugly her smile was now, even much uglier than when she was

crying.

The staff approached and surrounded Diana to wish her well, only Mariana was left alone and stunned,

with Nuria at her side.

She looked so helpless and ridiculous, as if she were a clown acting alone.

For a while, the official announcement of Diana and Leopoldo's romance was all over the trends, while

she, the contestant who had been criticized so much and asked to withdraw from the contest a few

days before, had been ignored.

No one remembered her and everyone was happy for Leopoldo and Diana, saying they were perfect

for each other.

This event both delighted and worried Nuria.

Inside the villa, Mariana, in a daze, stared at the headlines on the screen and was eating without

tasting the food, when the sudden ringing of her cell phone brought her back to reality.

-Mariana, come to the house.

A deep voice, tinged with anger, resounded in his ears. It was Juan, and his tone was no longer calm,

but sounded indifferent.

Mariana lowered her eyes and accepted.

-Yes.

"If I'm right, it's because of Leopoldo and Diana, right? How ridiculous."

He shook his head sadly and laughed.

She drove to the old Durán family home, and Juan and Perla were already in the lobby waiting for her.

-Father, mother, I'm here.

Mariana placed the gifts she had bought on the table and was about to sit down when a scolding voice

made her get up immediately.

-And you have the nerve to sit down? Look at the things you've done! You have sullied the honor of the

Durán Family!

Perla cursed angrily and exasperated, as she slapped his face to humiliate her.

I don't know why our family had to marry off a daughter-in-law like you! Nothing good has happened to

the Durán family since you arrived. Look at it now, gossip is everywhere, everyone knows about it.

What the hell were you thinking as a wife? -Perla kept blaming and degrading Mariana as if she was

worthless.

"How is it that I can be useful when Leopoldo has never recognized me as his wife?",

Thinking, Mariana felt even more ridiculous.

-I'm sorry, it's all my fault.

She admitted her guilt. He wanted to refute her, but he knew Perla's nature and arguing with her was

nothing more than getting into trouble.

Seeing that she was sincere in her apology, Perla, mumbling, began to accuse Leopoldo.

-And you too, you're already married, but you've never behaved yourself, you're still flirting with women.

His eyes were full of disappointment.

-As a wife, you are too disappointing," Pearl sighed.

Mariana kept her face serene and stood in silence as she listened to his reprimand, waiting for him to

finish.

-I should be the one disappointed, it's not your turn to be disappointed, is it?

But an icy voice rang out, it was Leopoldo.

She hadn't even entered when she saw Mariana standing in front of her stepmother with her head

bowed as if she had done something wrong.

He walked over, glanced at Mariana and then said to Perla mercilessly:

-My business is none of your business.

She was the stepmother, after all, and even if she didn't like him, she didn't dare reproach him in front

of Juan.

Then Leopoldo took Mariana's hand and left, slamming the door.

Mariana looked at his hand that he was holding when they went out, and a warmth flooded her. She

didn't know if she should be happy or sad, her mind was a mess.

On the way home.

-Don't think about it.

A deep voice suddenly reached her ear, causing Mariana's breathing to stop at that moment.

Leopoldo did not know why he was explaining himself.

"Why should I care when it's just an occult marriage and it doesn't make any difference what she

thinks?"

-You've admitted it in front of the public, but now you're telling me not to think about it? -she asked

incredulously. Her eyes were fixed on the man trying to get an answer from his eyes.

-I was protecting you," the icy words rang out again.

Mariana snorted a laugh, but unfortunately, all she got in response was an endless silence.
