Chapter 148: Guilt

The nanny turned her head to look at Mariana and spoke with concern:

-Ma'am, are you all right?

After what had just happened, she naturally wasn't going to dwell on such gossip. After all, such things were not something she should be asking about as a maid. Mariana gently shook her head and said:

-I'm fine.

It was just the way Diana looked like that that made her really think she would do something to the child in her womb.

After all, any woman would go crazy to hear something like the man she loved so much was letting another woman carry his child.

It was probably after learning this that Diana came to the villa in anger.

If she were still alone now, I wouldn't be afraid of her, but...

Mariana covered her belly with her hand, her heart trembling, she still had to protect someone, her son.

-Don't tell Mr. Durán about this matter.

The nanny was quick to nod, but her heart was still a little restless.

I had not expected so much to happen.

However, within a day, this matter was brought to her grandmother's attention. Mariana was still very confused when she received the call from her grandmother, and only after looking at the nanny who was standing to the side and nervous, did she understand what had happened.

She felt a little amused and, after steadying her emotions, she promised:

-I know, Grandma, I'll be back.

Only when Mariana hung up the phone did the nanny shiver and approach.

She was not supposed to intervene in these matters, but she did not want Mariana and the baby in her womb to be in danger, so she took it upon herself to tell the grandmother.

Mariana sighed, knowing that the nanny was doing it for her, and at the risk of being dismissed by Leopoldo, she felt a surge of warmth.

So he just looked at her and spoke quietly:

-You haven't told Grandma about my pregnancy, have you?

The nanny shook her head and said repeatedly:

-No, no.

After observing her during this period of time, the nanny understood that Mariana did not seem to want people to know she was pregnant, so she did nothing else. -Good.

Mariana exhaled sharply and lowered her heart.

She wasn't ready to tell Grandma yet, so it was best to keep it from her first.

Mariana hid the guilt on her face and spoke lightly:

-In that case, I'll go to Grandma's house.

When he arrived, he saw Leopoldo in the living room, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Mariana suddenly remembered the day Diana came to her, and a bitter feeling came over her heart.

Next to Leopoldo sat the old woman with a somber face, with a slight anger that made people's hearts tremble.

Mariana sat down next to the grandmother and spoke in a low voice:

-Grandma, did you cook something delicious for me today?

Saying this, Mariana also tugged fervently on her grandmother's arm, her movements were gentle, with a slight touch of pampering on her face, very different from her usual coldness. When Leopold heard these words, he looked at the woman, his eyes shining with a touch of deep meaning.

Did this happen to be the way she and her grandmother got along regularly?

It seemed that all the elders loved her, whether it was Grandma, Grandma Zoraida or anyone else in the Durán family home, without exception.

At the sound of her soft voice, Grandma looked slightly at Mariana, her face unchanged as she reached out and patted Mariana's arm.

-Girl, what are you doing!

The words still carried anger in them, but after they were spoken, the expression was much lighter.

When Leopoldo saw this, a difference shone in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. He lifted the glass and took two sips, without saying anything.

Grandma hummed, naturally still in anger, but she couldn't bear to treat Mariana coldly either. In the end, she still held Mariana's hand, put it between her hands and caressed it gently. -Mari, it's really hard for you.

Grandma's face was full of pain.

Mariana's heart was strongly moved, but she was very relaxed.

-She really made you suffer! How many years that woman has been gone, and now that she's coming back, she must have come across something bad! It was even more foolish of Leo to stay with her. The grandmother's heart was filled with anger and she gave Leopoldo a fierce look, full of reproaches.

-It's not like that, Grandma.

Grandma let out a sigh and looked at Mariana, speaking with some disapproval:

-The nanny at home has already told me, and did that woman really come home to fight with you?

Leopoldo, who had been standing silently to the side, looked at Mariana after hearing this, with a slight depression:

-Diana had gone to look for you?

Mariana said nothing and did not react.

Grandma gave him a fierce look and spoke angrily:

-Don't you know? She even asked Mari to bless you and her! -Mari is your wife now!

Grandma gasped, feeling a little forced to breathe.

Mariana also became aware of the sound of Grandma's heavy breathing and saw her face flushed. Momentarily alarmed, she rushed over and gently stroked her back to soothe her breathing. -You don't have to get so angry, it's nothing, he didn't do anything to me, he just said a few words.
