The visitor was none other than Leonardo’s mother, Yolanda.
Leonardo was the first to get up, looking at Yolanda with a disgusted face.
-Mom, stop!
Yolanda approached with a handbag on her arm, full of contempt.
-I am moderate… Leonardo, mom is not going to hurt you, mom is doing it for your own good, what there is of them is worthy of us…..
Without wanting to listen to her, Leonardo took a big step forward and took his mother’s wrist in his hands.
-Stop and get out of there!
With a single force, Yolanda shook off her son’s hand and stared at Olivia across the table.
-Olivia little bitch, Leonardo is breaking up with the Pinto family because of you, he doesn’t go to the office these days, he doesn’t care about anything, he is even talking directly to his father to leave the family, all he does is cling to you every day little bitch, you whip, you won’t stop until you turn my family into what you are…..
Olivia’s heart seized and her eyes turned red, she knew Leonardo was watching her because he was afraid she would leave, so she repeatedly assured him she would not leave and told him to go to the office without worrying, but he told her not to worry, he had arranged it, and it turned out it was true that he was going to break with the Pinto family….
Leonardo’s actions moved Olivia’s father a little, but Yolanda, who had insulted her daughter that way, still stood up furious and glared at her.
-Mrs. Yolanda, please keep your mouth shut! Why are you so stubborn? My Olivia is the apple of our eyes, I see that she and Leonardo are truly in love and I want her to be happy before accepting this marriage, and we don’t want to be in your place, I didn’t ask for any of the money that Leonardo gave me…..
Yolanda quickly interrupted Olivia’s father.
-What money do you want, just hold on to my Leonardo and you can have whatever you want, don’t think I don’t know what you intend!
-You!
Olivia’s father, who had been a man of high morals all his life, turned red with anger when she described him as a snob who was asking for money to marry his daughter into his family.
Leonardo covered himself with low air pressure, his fists clenched tightly, his monstrous rage was suppressed, and in his softest voice he said.
-Mom, don’t be ridiculous, no one has that in mind! I beg you, let it go, Olivia is on a good run and my friends have come to visit us as a couple today, do you have to tear me apart like this?.
Yolanda seemed to find a sudden glimmer of sanity and looked towards Carlos and Ernesto, who were sitting, stroking her hair and trying to get a smile out of her.
-Mr. Aguayo, Mr. Mancebo, sorry for the joke, you help me to persuade Leonardo, look, your girlfriends are from the right family, we all know very well that it is passed down from the ancient ancestors, not without their reasoning…..
Micaela was anxious, not knowing how to help Olivia, when Carlos took her hand and spoke to her in a deep voice.
-Mrs. Yolanda, I am sorry to tell you that I support Leonardo’s approach.
Ernesto, with his hand on his girlfriend’s shoulder, hung up.
-Mrs. Yolanda, if I were Leonardo, there would have been nothing left of you.
Yolanda chokes for a moment….
Alba couldn’t resist speaking too.
-Mrs. Yolanda, you must not underestimate Olivia. In time, Olivia will be a master makeup artist and will be no less valuable than your son.
Micaela bit her lip and said the same.
-Mrs. Yolanda, Olivia and Leonardo really love each other, they are not running for your family’s money, money is not everything, it can’t buy the happiness Leonardo wants, what’s the point of a home without laughter when you force him to marry a woman he doesn’t like?
Olivia’s father and mother were thrilled to see that Leonardo’s friends were so supportive, but he knew very well that Leonardo’s mother was determined to separate them, and he really didn’t want his daughter to stay here and suffer, this marriage, it was destined to not have a good outcome….
Yolanda’s bright red eyes looked at Olivia and she suddenly smiled wryly.
-Well, well, you all sing against me, I’ve already told you, this Pinto family, with me there is no such thing as little vixen Olivia!
What did he mean by that?
Yolanda quickly pulled a fruit knife out of her purse and Leonardo rushed to grab it, but Yolanda was a step faster and raised it straight to his neck.
-Leonardo, do you want her or do you want me? If you choose her, I’ll die right here!
The crowd rose in disbelief and gathered around him.
Yolanda was real, the fruit knife was so sharp it cut the skin instantly, bright red blood seeped out and stood out on the shiny to the knife’s surface….
-Mom, calm down!
Leonardo unconsciously tried to step forward, but Yolanda stepped back and spoke with unmistakable determination.
-I’m fine! You’re the ones who forced me to make this decision! If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll give it to you today!
Leonardo frowned, he knew that this was his mother’s way of forcing him to give in, she couldn’t really do it herself.
-Stop it, Mom, I’m not giving up Olivia!
Leonardo’s tone was equally firm and unyielding.
Yolanda’s hand pushed a little harder, more blood gushed out, and the crowd backed away gasping.
Micaela’s heart clenched, a little fearful as she looked at the image, her mind in confusion, how did it come to this?
Carlos wrapped his arms around Micaela, his brow furrowed as Yolanda reacted with a vague sense of strange familiarity, as if he had seen it on someone before, such a haphazard, defiant insistence….
Ernesto couldn’t look away either.
-Mrs. Yolanda, does it amuse you to push your own son like that?
Yolanda growled.
-Mr. Mancebo, how much my Leonardo listened to his mother because of this little slut Olivia, who confused Leonardo, she is not worthy of our Leonardo!
Alba makes a face of contempt.
-Mrs. Yolanda, Olivia is not worthy, you are! You have to bury your child’s happiness to be happy, you are a very strange mother!
Olivia’s father, who had had enough of this farce, dragged his wife with one hand and Olivia with the other and prepared to leave.
-Mrs. Yolanda, why do you have to do this, let’s go, let’s go right now!
Leonardo hurried to step forward and approached Olivia to embrace her, saying anxiously.
-No! Don’t go, Olivia, don’t go, don’t go, don’t go! Dad, Mom, none of you are going to leave…..
-Mr. Pinto! -Please don’t call us mom and dad, we can’t afford it!
Olivia’s father was furious.
A smirk lifted the corners of Yolanda’s mouth.
-Olivia, let’s make a clean break today, with you, without me!
Olivia looked at Yolanda, surprisingly calm, then looked at Leonardo, who was holding him in his arms, his heart in his hands and tears welling up instantly.
Leonardo looked at Olivia and said seriously.
-Don’t cry wife, don’t leave me, I will take you, we will go to live somewhere else, believe me, I will not let you suffer.
Leonardo said, looking at his mother.
-Mom, I won’t stop you if you give up your life, think about it, what has Olivia done to you? And what have you done to Olivia sitting down? You have to force me to choose, then I tell you now solemnly, I?
Yolanda looks at her son with disbelief….
-Leonardo!
Olivia suddenly shouted, interrupting what Leonardo was going to say…..
Leonardo looked at the person in his arms.
However, Olivia looked at Yolanda and said slowly.
-Let me talk to her…
