Olivia’s father looked at his daughter in the bed and felt heartbroken.
“The wedding should be happy, shouldn’t it, why did something so miserable happen to my Olivia?”
She gave a helpless sigh and went outside for a smoke. Alba winked at Ernesto so that Ernesto would go and comfort the poor father a little.
Ernesto nodded and left the room.
Thus, only the four women remained in the living room.
Olivia’s mother had managed to calm down. Remembering the tremendous pain her daughter had just suffered on the stage, she could not help but raise suspicion, because according to her knowledge, a miscarriage could not be like that!
She looked at Micaela and Alba and asked:
-Micaela, Alba, has Olivia eaten anything improper after leaving home?
Micaela and Alba looked at each other.
Neither of them were stupid and they did not believe that Olivia, who had been fine, would have had such a sudden miscarriage for no reason.
Before going on stage at the wedding, Olivia had had a sip of water and the nourishing soup that Leonardo’s mother!
Deep down, however, neither of them wanted to blame Olivia’s miscarriage on that soup. After all, the baby Olivia was carrying was Pinto family blood and both Micaela and Alba could not believe that Yolanda could become so vicious that she killed her own future grandchild.
The two hesitated about what to say and looked unconsciously at Yolanda by the window, who was rubbing her forehead with a very distressed look on her face. Olivia’s mother noticed the strange looks from her daughter’s two friends, and immediately turned to Yolanda with the intention of arguing with her.
At this moment, the living room door suddenly opened and Leonardo entered with a somber look on his face, walked straight to his mother and asked incredulously:
-Mom, is there something wrong with the soup you prepared for Olivia?
Olivia’s father Ernesto, who had just walked in, and Olivia’s mother were shocked at Leonardo’s words.
Micaela and Alba exchanged glances, and their unease intensified.
Leonardo had watched his mother carry the soup into the break room and had asked her about this. When he learned that his mother had specially prepared the soup for Olivia, Leonardo was overjoyed, thinking that his mother had finally put aside her prejudice against Olivia. But he really hadn’t expected that…
Leonardo stared coldly at his mother, trying to suppress the anger building up in his chest.
Julian rushed to the hospital after finishing the banquet. As soon as he entered the room, he heard his son angrily questioning his wife and was so surprised that he quickly approached and scolded his son:
-Leonardo, what are you talking about! Your mother got up early to prepare the nourishing soup, how could there possibly be anything wrong with the soup? How can you talk to your mother with this attitude?! Apologize to your mom right now.
-Yes, I added abortion pills in the soup! -Yolanda frankly admitted.
Hearing his own mother’s words, Leonardo stepped back, with an astonished and incredulous look on his face.
Micaela and Alba gasped at her words. Olivia’s mother instantly became very angry and rushed at Yolanda to fight her, but was stopped by her husband.
The mother cried out in tears:
-Viper, how can you be so cruel! The baby Olivia was carrying was Pinto family blood!
Carlos, with a very well furrowed brow, stepped forward and took Micaela in his arms, because he did not want her to see such an ugly side of life.
Yolanda looked at Olivia’s mother and said calmly:
-I have no intention of hiding it from you, I just want to tell you in this extreme way not to believe that your daughter can enter the door of my family because she is pregnant with Leonardo’s child! I have only personally eliminated that sinful baby!
Hearing her crazy words, Julian slapped Yolanda hard in the face, making her take a few steps back.
-Yolanda, how can you be so merciless! How can you do such a thing?
-Julian roared, feeling that this woman he had been married to for thirty years was a cruel stranger.
Leonardo felt a sharp pang and stared with extreme anger in his mother’s eyes.
-Mom, the women I love most in this world are you and Olivia. Why do you treat her this way? Olivia loves and respects you very much, but look what you’ve done to her! Haven’t I made that clear enough? I love Olivia and I only want to be with her for the rest of my life, why do you have to separate us?!
Olivia’s father took a deep breath as he hugged his wife, who was crying so hard she could hardly breathe, and said:
-Leonardo, let’s call off this marriage.
He deeply regretted having agreed to the marriage between Leonardo and his daughter. If he had been hard enough to refuse Leonardo at that moment, perhaps his poor daughter would not have suffered so much.
Leonardo turned to him and shook his head anxiously.
-No, Dad. Olivia and I have the marriage certificate. We’re already a legal couple…
-Leonardo! -Yolanda stepped forward and tugged his son’s arm, “That Olivia is not good enough for you, let alone our Pinto family. She’ll introduce you to someone better…
Leonardo pulled his mother’s hand away and shouted furiously:
-Get out! Get out of here!
Yolanda took a step back, very stupefied. Her son, who had never raised his voice to her, today shouted loudly for a woman.
She clenched her fists tightly and mentally cursed:
“It’s all that bitch’s fault!”
Micaela’s eyes turned red and she put her face in Carlos’ arms. She felt very sorry for Olivia.
Looking at this scene, Alba suddenly thought of herself and Ernesto. Mica had told her that Ernesto’s father had deliberately arranged for Miguel to intentionally approach her in order to separate her from Ernesto.
“Love without parental blessing will not have a good ending, will it? If so, then Ernesto and I…?”
Alba felt fear and thought no more about it.
Leonardo, exasperated, pushed his mother out and shouted:
-Get out! I don’t want to see you! You don’t think Olivia is good enough for the Pinto family, do you? Well, now I’m breaking off mother-daughter relations with you. From now on, I will not be your son and you will not be my mother. I only want Olivia!
-Leonardo! You can’t do this! -Yolanda, anxious and reluctant to leave, shouted at Olivia on the bed, “Olivia, you’re a total bitch! Did you see that? Did you hear that? You are vermin, because of you my son is going to break all ties with me! How much trouble have you caused my family?!
Leonardo, trembling with anger, shouted:
-It’s you who are causing the problems! It’s you who are to blame! Please don’t show yourself in front of me and Olivia in the future!
He took off his suit jacket, threw it at his mother’s feet, and said:
-Mom, don’t push me, it’s your decision whether I call you like that for the last time or not!
Yolanda was completely stunned, struggled to free herself from her husband’s grasp and cried out:
-Leonardo, I am the mother who raised you, and you are going to break your relationship with me because of a little slut?
The parents were very upset to hear Yolanda call her own daughter a “slut”.
Leonardo replied fiercely:
-You are not allowed to humiliate Olivia like that! Mom, listen carefully, if you ever cross Olivia again, I will break all my ties with you and the Pinto family and abandon all assets, including companies!
Olivia’s parents, Micaela, Alba, including Julian and Yolanda, were shocked.
Ernesto whistled and said in a loud voice:
-Leonardo, you are a real man! As your cousin, I am the first to support you.
Carlos clasped the person in his arms, looked at Leonardo, his eyes full of appreciation, and said lightly:
-Leonardo, I also support you.
