Chapter 104


    Determined to swiftly rid the Reynolds family of Seraphina’s influence, Nte orchestrated a blind


    date for Seraphina that very evening


    What Leandro hadn’t anticipated was that the man Nte had paired Seraphina with was none other


    than Herman’s elder brother, John Garcia


    John, the eldest scion of the Garcia family’s second generation, had forsaken a promising political


    career to venture into entrepreneurship Having sessfully established a thriving business while


    maintaining his family’s prestige he had be quite a prominent figure in Sunburst City His only


    ‘blemish” might be his divorce over a year ago However, for a man of his stature this aspect might have


    enhanced his allure


    “My parents have been incessantly harping about my brother’s matrimonial prospects ofte, insisting


    on finding him a suitable partner I could never have predicted they’d choose Seraphina, Herman stated


    “Aren’t you going to intervene?”


    Leandro, reclining in his office chair and contemting the neon lights outside the window, responded


    casually “Didn’t you receive the memo? We’ve rified the nature of our rtionship”


    Herman chuckled at that. “Cut the crap. If it was that simple, why did you take a bullet for her the night.


    Fidelia got in trouble? And let me remind you, my bro’s charm post–divorce is a real babe ma. If


    you’re not careful, Seraphina might fall for him. At that time, don’t say I didn’t warn you”


    Just as Herman finished, he was called away on his end. After a few words, he hurriedly hung up


    Leandro put down his phone, lit a cigarette and sat in silence, lost in thought.


    That night, Seraphina and John had a great time over dinner and a movie. They got along so well that


    they even agreed to meet again the next day


    When Seraphina got home, Conway was still up, lounging in his chair watching TV


    When he saw Seraphina, Conway didn’t give her a warm wee, “Your date’s over?”


    “Yep Seraphina carelessly tossed her purse aside and then flopped down on the sofa. “God, I haven’t


    been on a proper date in forever…”


    Conway shot her a cold lock. “How was it?”


    “Amazing! Seraphina replied, legs kicked up in a rxed pose and a triumphant smile on her face. “I


    thought Nte was pulling my leg, but she actually set me up with a great catch!”


    “A divorced catch,” Conway corrected her coldly


    “What’s the big deal? Seraphina shrugged “He’s a great guy and we had a st!”


    Conway snorted dismissively, turned off the TV, and stormed upstairs.


    Seraphinaid on the couch for a while, then got up to tidy her purse. She checked her phone, but the


    screen was nk. Not a single text.


    With a smirk, she got up and headed upstairs too.

    Over the next few days, whenever John had time, he would invite Seraphina out. They listened to


    music, went to exhibitions, rode horses, swam, yed sports. Seraphina was thrilled with all the


    activities.


    It wasn’t until a weekter, when she apanied John to y golf, that she ran into Leandro


    John’s golf time was scheduled for the moming which meant Seraphina had to get up early. Since she


    didn’t y golf, she was a little beat


    Just as John was teaching her how to swing someone called out “Mr Reynolds. Seraphina instantly


    perked up and hit a beautiful shot


    “Well done, you’re a natural,” John praised her swing then turned to see Leandro and greeted him with


    a smile, “Leandro, long time no see.” Leandro in his white shirt and ck pants, a rare casual look for


    him, stopped in his tracks when he saw them. “You’re the one who’s been MIA.”


    Seraphina popped her head out from behind John and greeted Leandro with a smile, “Leandro, it’s


    been a while”


    Leandro’s eyes fell on her, but he didn’t respond.


    “I almost forgot you two know each other” John put his arm around Seraphina’s waist and pushed her


    forward, “Leandro, Sera’s a smart, beautiful girl that the Reynolds family has cultivated I’m honored to


    be dating her”


    Seraphinaughed at that and turned to him, “Leandro contributed a lot to my ‘cultivation.”


    John looked at Leandro andughed, “Really?”


    Ignoring the question Leandro suggested. “Since we’ve bumped into each other, why don’t we y a


    round together?”


    John readily agreed, “Sure”


    Halfway through the game, John was already a good five or six strokes behind. It was pretty much a


    done deal for Leandro


    Taking advantage of John’s swing Seraphina pped for Leandro, “You’re really good”


    Leandro nced at her and rien got on his golf cart


    Seraphina didn’t wait for John and hopped on the cart with Leandro. Sitting behind him, she leaned on


    the back of the seat and watched him, I haven’t seen you since I started seeing Joly! Have you been


    busy?”


    Leandro’s eyes fell on John in the distance, “You seem to be the one who’s busier”


    Following his gaze to John, Seraphinaughed, “Okay, let’s just say we were not meant to cross paths”


    She paused and turned to Leandro, ‘By the way John invited me to Crystal Waters Ind next week.


    He’s attending a wedding there and wants me toe along Do you think I should go? I’m torn if I


    don’t go, wall he thank I’m rejecting him? if I do, it would be our first trip together since we met


    Considering the whole boy girl thing, shouldn’t I be more cautious about this?!


    With that, Seraphina gave Leandro’s shoulder a little nudge with her head, earnestly asking him,


    “You’re a guy, can you give me some advice? If you say I can go, I’ll go. If you say I can’t, then I wont is


    that okay?”


    Jofin turned around after ying ball and saw them, a faint smile appearing on his face, “What are you


    guys chatting about?”


    He took a seal next to Seraphina and only then did she speak up. “We’re discussing going to Crystal


    Waters Ind”


    John replied casually, then turned to Leandro, “That’s Mr Malloy’s daughters big wedding You know the


    drill, it could be awkward going alone, so I invited Seraphina as my plus one, but she’s still thinking it


    over You must have gotten an invite too, right? What do you think, wanna go?”

    I’m not avable Leandro answered, curt and to the point.


    Johnughed, “I knew it, a busy bee like you wouldn’t have the time for these sorts of things


    Seraphina asked with a hint of disappointment. “You’re not going? I heard the scenery there is really


    pretty You’re always so busy, and you should take some time off to chill, even if it’s just for a day‘


    Hearing this, John turned to look at her, smiling. “So, what’s your decision?”


    Seraphina looked at Leandro’s clear profile from behind, a slow smile spreading on her face, “Since


    Leandro istit going. I guess I’ll go in his ce and enjoy that beautiful


    view!”
