Chapter 297: Not Hate But Love
Viviana saw the deep furrow line between his eyes. His hand was on his chest and he stooped his head while rubbing his forehead.
"Leander," she walked to him. "Are you okay?" she asked.
He didn’t appear to have heard her. She walked to him. He was obviously not fine.
"Do not touch me!" he shouted.
Viviana yelped and jumped back. She didn’t expect him to shout at her. He held out his hand at her. She took a step forward. He stormed off the room.
Viviana watched him running up the stairs. He almost slipped down the stairs and her heart skipped a beat. But he managed to balance himself. She saw Steve following him and was relieved. Steve will take care of him.
She placed her hand over her heart. It hurt to see him suffering. She didn’t even know whether he wants her or not. If he wants her gone, why did he bring a baby to the house?
Ah... he thought I would get mad seeing the baby and leave him. He doesn’t know me at all...
Before she knew it, tears rolled down her cheeks. She squatted on the floor and hugging her knees, she stifled the loud wail she felt rising from her gut.
"Signora," Mary placed her hand on Viviana’s shoulder that was jerking.
"Yes," Viviana took a deep breath and wiped her face. "I am fine. Go, prepare dinner," she waved her hand not meeting anyone’s eyes. She rushed back into the room. She didn’t want anyone to pity her.
