The doctor who had made the appointment was ready and waiting for Mariana.
-Madam," the doctor looked at Mariana and said kindly. After all, they were stars and their bases were
simply good.
Looking at Mariana and Leopoldo, the doctor speculated quietly in his heart.
Mariana's eyes fell on the doctor and she asked curiously:
-Do I need to do anything?
-I just need to draw your blood," answered the doctor as he prepared the syringe.
To check for pregnancy, a blood test was all that was needed. Therefore, the present Mariana did not
need to do anything at all.
Mariana nodded and decided to accompany the other party.
-Come," the doctor approached Mariana's side and said carefully.
If this were a normal patient, this process would normally be done by a nurse. But Mariana's condition
was different, so the doctor opted to draw the blood himself this time.
Leopoldo was at her side, completely motionless.
His gaze was focused on Mariana's body, unwilling to move an inch from start to finish. For him, this
woman was the only presence in his field of vision.
-Ma'am, I'm going to start drawing blood," the doctor did not forget to say something to Mariana before
drawing.
-Good," Mariana nodded and looked at her arm.
The cold needle went into her skin with a single stroke. Mariana kept her composure and watched
unmoving as the syringe was plunged into her flesh. She was calm and composed and did not
overreact.
Leopoldo thought it was strange, shouldn't girls normally be scared?
After a moment's thought, it dawned on him again. His wife was not just any woman.
-How long will the results take? -Leopoldo couldn't help but ask after watching the doctor finish drawing
blood.
The doctor could see at a glance that Leopoldo was desperate, but just by looking at him like that, he
didn't know if Leopoldo wanted it or not. But a man of Leopoldo's stature should not be short of NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
children.
-An hour will do, and Mr. Durán can take his wife out for a bite to eat first.
The doctor glanced at the time and couldn't help but say so. If it weren't for the fact that she was
Leopoldo's wife, Mariana would be resting at home right now.
The one who would raise her the highest salary of the century had arrived, so she had to do this
overtime.
-Well, I happen to be hungry," Mariana looked at Leopoldo and spoke.
She only cared about taking care of Leopoldo's stomach and she had not even tasted a bite of food.
Leopoldo looked at her as if she was pregnant, but she forgot that pregnant women also needed to eat.
At least it was because of the blood test that she couldn't eat.
Now she was better and could stop avoiding food.
-Well, send me the report directly later," Leopoldo looked at the doctor, hinting at the other side. As for
the e-mail address and such, the doctor should have access to it.
Mariana did not say a word and remained obediently at his side.
-Okay, Mr. Durán.
The doctor's heart, which hung in front of his throat, came out very easily. It was fortunate that he had
to work an extra hour today because of Leopoldo.
The two left the room one after the other, with Mariana following close behind.
-Aren't you hungry? What do you want to eat? -Leopoldo stepped forward and asked Mariana.
Mariana thought for a moment before speaking:
-Spicy is best.
-No.
Leopoldo flatly denied it, for at first he wanted to speak up and say that it was bad for the baby. But in
an instant he remembered that the results had not yet been published. His words and actions could
easily cause Mariana distress.
Mariana looked at the man with some irritation in her heart.
-Slightly spicy is better, otherwise, I'm afraid your stomach can't take it," Leopoldo changed his tone
and opened his mouth to tell the woman. It was bad for the stomach, this was a statement that Mariana
could more or less accept.
Mariana hesitated for a moment and said painfully:
-Okay, it will be slightly spicy.
She followed closely behind the man, her heart swelling with unparalleled excitement. As long as he
could eat spicy, everything would be fine. Mariana followed him happily, expectantly.
-Barbacoa? -Leopoldo asked the woman behind him as he moved forward.
Mariana thought about it and said cheerfully:
-I agree -she looked at Leopoldo and raised her hands in support. Could a young master like Leopoldo
eat barbecue?
She looked puzzled, with suspicion written on her heart.
-All right, then we'll go there.
Leopoldo didn't even think about it and pointed to the barbecue stand across the street. Looking at the
stand, Mariana's whole body watched the man with some curiosity.
Is Leopoldo inviting her to a barbecue or a stall?
This was very exciting.
-What's the matter, don't you want to? -Leopoldo's gaze rested on the other party and asked
rhetorically. If Mariana didn't want to, she had other plans. There was plenty to eat, not just a barbecue.
Mariana's heart was, naturally, a hundred times willing and she couldn't help but nod her head.
-That's fine," Leopoldo smiled, seeing through the woman's thoughts.
He knew Mariana liked those positions, that's why he had mentioned that idea. As long as he could
make Mariana happy, anything he did would be worth it.
The image of the duo walking to the barbecue stand across the street was a little out of place.
-What does the president want to do by walking there?
The subordinates behind them saw this scene and could not help but speculate. After following
Leopoldo for so long, they had not seen such a scene.
There was only one possibility, the lady wanted to eat a barbecue.
For Mariana, the president would do anything.
They were both thinking about how they did not expect the next moment to happen. As soon as she
saw Leopoldo sitting directly at the small table and the chairs next to him, Mariana's jaw dropped.
Leopoldo actually sat down next to her.
-We can pack it up and take it with us," Mariana feared Leopoldo would be embarrassed, so she
started talking.
If it were for her own good, Leopoldo could have done without this.
-No, it's better if we finish eating before we go.
Leopoldo smiled, indicating that he had nothing to do with it. If Mariana liked him, she could learn to like
him too.
Mariana smiled and approached the owner.
-I want fifty pieces of meat.
The one grilling the meat was a young man, he looked at Mariana and smiled.
-He looked at Mariana and smiled.
Only after seeing that the other party responded, Mariana approached and began to choose the plates.
It had been a long time since she had had a life like this.
-Miss, would you like a portion of tofu? -The young man saw that Mariana was hesitating and took the
initiative to recommend it.
It had been so long since she had eaten barbecue that she seemed to have forgotten what she liked to
eat besides meat. Only when the owner kindly reminded her, did she remember her favorite dish,
wrapped tofu.
She picked out a handful of plates and set them aside.
-Okay, thank you," Mariana took a few and sat obediently across from Leopoldo.
Leopoldo looked at the woman and couldn't help but ask:
-Did you order for me?
-Do you want it?
Mariana thought Leopoldo wouldn't be interested in what she ate, so she didn't count Leopoldo out at
all. She could eat plenty on her own.
