Chapter 469: Paternal Obligations

He knew Mariana would call, so he was deliberately waiting for her call.

-Where did you take Daniel? -Mariana grabbed the phone, trying to keep her emotions from collapsing.

Leopoldo was silent for a moment before speaking.

-You don't sound very good.

Now Leopoldo understood that Mariana's last letter was Daniel. In the past, Mariana could leave

Leopoldo and leave immediately, but now she could not.

With her son in tow, she could not leave.

-Do you want to know? -Leopoldo asked deliberately.

"Nonsense, how could I not want to know? He's my son."

Mariana rubbed her temples, feeling in a bad state of mind, and then spoke:

-Give me back Daniel.

Leopoldo listened to her without saying a word.

If it had been any other day of those three years, he would have been especially happy to hear Mariana

speak thus to his ears. But for some reason, he could not be happy now.

His emotions were contradictory and the joy was long gone.

-I beg you...

Finally, Mariana gave in to the other party.

For her son's sake, Mariana would do anything. She just wanted to take her son away from Leopoldo,

and live alone on the sidelines. But why was it so difficult?

Leopoldo would not let her go, nor would his son.

Leopoldo was silent for a moment and said:

-The child is at my house.

Daniel was in his house, and he was the father, so he couldn't hurt him. For a while, Leopoldo felt very

misunderstood by the fact that Mariana did not feel comfortable leaving the child with him.

After telling the other party the location, Leopoldo immediately hung up the phone.

Having gotten a trace on her son, Mariana's emotions calmed down a bit. As long as her son was okay,

everything would be fine. She wanted nothing as long as Daniel could always be by her side.

However, in twenty minutes, Mariana drove to Leopoldo's house.

She hurried to ring the doorbell.

The housekeeper came to open the door without a moment's hesitation. The location of Leopoldo's

house had not changed, including the chauffeur, the housekeeper and the nanny, all remained the

same. Mariana had lived here for some time, and her son had belonged here.

-Ma'am, are you back? -The housekeeper was a little moved at the sight of Mariana.

Leopoldo had waited so long, they had had so many hopes, and at last he had returned.

-Hello," Mariana smiled and greeted the housekeeper politely.

She had come to look for her son, and when she found him she would leave. She was not going to stay

here.

-Come, come, come in.

The housekeeper hurried to open the door for Mariana and motioned for her to enter. Mariana pushed

the door and looked inside for a moment. Why wasn't there any sound if her son was here?

Mariana looked at the housekeeper and couldn't help but ask:

-Where is Señor Durán?

-Señor Durán is in the house and has been waiting for you for a long time," she answered patiently to

Mariana.

Mariana's heart skipped a beat, she always felt that something was not quite right.

What was the reason Leopoldo called her to that place?

-Is he alone? -Mariana asked curiously.

The butler stepped forward and did not answer Mariana's question directly.

Mariana followed him and, when she entered the room, she realized that it was exactly as she thought.

There was no sign of little Daniel, and she didn't understand why the man had to do this.

"What's the point of doing it and what's it for?"

-Leopoldo, where is Daniel? -Mariana looked at him and said coldly.

Mariana only wanted to know where her son was. As for the rest, it had nothing to do with her.

Including this man sitting in front of her.

-The boy is here.

Mariana hurried to walk around the place.

-Where did you hide her? -Mariana asked again when she saw no sign of Daniel. She didn't want to

beat around the bush, she just wanted to see her son quickly.

To her, her son was her life.

-Daniel really means a lot to you," Leopoldo looked at the woman with piercing eyes. It wasn't that he

disliked watching this scene, it was just that it bothered him that this woman only had Daniel in her

heart.

For a while, Leopoldo couldn't stand it.

He was obviously the son of both of them, but how did he end up being only Mariana's? Besides, this

woman was very upset with Leopoldo's proximity to Daniel. Just thinking about it would make anyone

uncomfortable.

-What do you want to do? -Mariana looked at the man and asked rhetorically.

Leopoldo knew that Daniel meant everything to her, but he still had to make this scene.

Suddenly, Mariana thought about what had happened and, with a jolt in her heart, she immediately

knelt down before the man.

-Señor Durán, please give me back the boy," she begged.

Daniel was all she had, and she could not live without him.

-You...

Looking at Mariana's appearance, Leopoldo's heart had no feeling of superiority.

She would get down on her knees and beg when someone asked her to, this woman really had no

principles. Before, Mariana would rightly tell Leopoldo to stay away from Daniel, but now it was a

completely different story.

-Mom!

Mariana didn't get up until her son's call reached her ears.

She immediately turned and saw Daniel running in her direction. When she took in her son's

appearance, she noticed that there was nothing serious wrong with him. Leopold might indeed be cold-

blooded, but not so cold-blooded as to do it to his own flesh and blood.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Mariana hastened to calm down.

-I changed Daniel's school to one of the best kindergartens in the country. I've paid his tuition until

graduation. He is also my son," Leopoldo told them slowly as he looked at them.

The son was hers and his.

-How much is the tuition? I will pay you back every penny," Mariana looked at him and said seriously.

But Leopoldo's gaze fell instantly on the woman's body and he said, "I will say it for the last time,

-I will say it for the last time, Daniel is also my son. Therefore, it is only fair that I also pay the tuition

fees.

-But... -Mariana looked at Daniel, her heart still resisting.

Leopoldo looked at little Daniel, then looked away and said indifferently:

-Take Daniel home.

-Mom, this man says he is my father," Daniel pointed to Leopoldo, wanting to confirm it with Mariana.

Daniel had grown up not knowing what it felt like to call someone "dad". Now that Leopoldo had told

him he was his father, it was quite an emotional experience for him.
