Please behave My Lord
Chapter 279: Pity

Chapter 279: Pity

Carmen had just finished preparing breakfast. With her apron still tied around her waist, she came out of the kitchen and saw Mariana carrying a gift box and about to leave.

The fact that Mariana was leaving so early puzzled her. She looked at the gift box in her hand and wondered who she was going to meet.

Although she was curious, Carmen understood that she could not interfere in the family's affairs.

-Ma'am, have breakfast before you leave.

But Mariana's current state of health was not very good, and the doctor said she could not skip meals. Thinking about breakfast on the table, Carmen tried to hold Mariana back. When called by the nanny, Mariana looked back and smiled.

-Carmen, I'm not going to eat breakfast.

I knew Carmen was thinking about her health. But Mariana was going to meet with Mrs. Perez, and she hoped to make a good impression on her.

-Ma'am, please eat a little.

Mariana kept insisting on leaving and Carmen felt very helpless, even begging her to eat something.

Mariana used to be very kind to the servants, and Carmen secretly treated her as her own daughter. Mariana's weak appearance really made Carmen feel sorry for her. -Okay.

Mariana couldn't bear to turn her down again and nodded her head slightly.

-Madam, have a seat.

Seeing that Mariana had agreed, Carmen was very happy and rushed to get the gift box, and led Mariana to the table.

From start to finish, Carmen just smiled as she watched Mariana eat her breakfast.

-Carmen, I'll go first then.

After breakfast, Mariana got up and said goodbye to Carmen before leaving the villa with her gift box.

-Madam, please get in the car.

The driver waiting at the entrance of the villa opened the car door for Mariana as soon as he saw her leave the villa. Only when she entered the car did the driver return to the driver's seat. The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car sped away.

A while later, the car stopped in front of a tall building. Without thinking, Mariana realized that this was where Mrs. Perez lived.

Mariana took a deep breath and got out of the car. She smiled and fixed her collar before heading for the door.

-Mrs. Durán, Mrs. Pérez is already waiting for you in the living room.

Knowing that Mariana was going to visit her house, Mrs. Perez had been waiting for her in the living room. She had even asked her maid, Lucia, to meet her at the front door.

The maid, who had served Mrs. Perez for many years, was very considerate.

Mariana smiled at Lucia and followed her into the living room.

Just as she entered the living room, Mariana saw an elegant figure. Mrs. Perez was sitting on the sofa. Although she was already middle-aged, she was very good at taking care of her skin, so she looked almost twenty years younger.

-Madam, Mrs. Durán has arrived.

Leading Mariana, Lucia respectfully greeted Mrs. Perez before she stood behind her.

-Good morning, Mrs. Perez. I hope I didn't disturb you by coming so early.

Although she had calmed her breathing, Mariana was still nervous. She first greeted Mrs. Perez, and then smiled at her with some apologies. -Do you want coffee?

Mrs. Perez looked Mariana up and down once, always with a friendly smile.

For Mariana, Mrs. Perez was still satisfied. Especially after learning about her family situation, Mrs. Perez liked her even more.

Leopoldo's mother had been Mrs. Perez's best friend when she was alive, so she also wanted to try Mariana on behalf of Leopoldo's mother.

-Good.

Without Mrs. Perez's permission, Mariana could not sit down and remained standing.

-Mrs. Perez, I will do it.

Seeing that Mrs. Perez was about to touch the coffee pot that was still smoking on the coffee table, Mariana feared that she might burn herself and hurried to get up to deftly fill the cups in front of them with coffee.

Normally, Mrs. Perez would never serve coffee to anyone. But today, she had deliberately ordered the maid to be quiet.

-Mariana, sit next to me.

She patted the seat next to her, indicating to Mariana to sit down. Mrs. Perez was very happy.

To her, Mariana was really a nice girl.

-Okay.

Mariana knew that Mrs. Perez liked her very much, but she was still polite.

-You'd better call me by my name.

Mrs. Perez held Mariana's hand, rushed to her side and leaned toward her, hoping to be more familiar with her.

Not expecting Mrs. Perez to be so kind to her, Mariana froze at first, but after reacting, she called her name.

-Aunt Adela.

-You are very kind.

Mrs. Perez smiled, brushing aside the broken hair scattered across her forehead for Mariana, not hiding her affection for her.

-Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I have brought a little gift for you. I hope you enjoy it.

Remembering the purpose of her visit, Mariana handed the gift box to Mrs. Perez and looked expectantly at the change in her expression.

-How could I not like it? I like it very much, thank you.

After receiving the box that Mariana gave her, Mrs. Perez was still happy, although she had not opened it yet.

-Don't worry about the opinion on the Internet. After all, we can't decide what others say. You just have to do your own thing.

Mrs. Perez gently took Mariana's hands. It was not that she was unaware of public opinion on the Internet. However, Mariana was too young, and it was inevitable that she would worry about the opinions of others. Thinking about this, Mrs. Perez began to comfort Mariana.
