Viviana walked out of the room with a heavy heart. She was sad to hear what Gabriella wanted. She didn't know what to do.
Gabriella wanted to be alone. She also didn't want to eat with Leander even if he permitted her to. And Viviana could sense that Gabriella was afraid Lionel might come for a visit. She was scared to meet him after breaking his heart. She acknowledged what she did to him was terrible. And she hoped that it would help him move on.
Viviana waited for Leander in the living room. She was in no mood for preparing dinner, but she had asked Leander for fish. She prepared her heart to cook dinner.
Leander came home with a proud smile and bags of fresh fish as if he had caught them himself. She thanked him and got the bag. With the help of the maids and the chef, she finished cooking. As always, she prepared some for the cats too. Most of the time, she cooked fresh meals for the cats too.
