Chapter 117
Seraphina seemed chill, speaking with an air of nonchnce, leaving Cooper speechless
They entered a restaurant Halfway through the meal, Cooper, who seemed to be deep in thought,
asked, “Have you ever tried to have a serious talk with your mom?”
Seraphina, cutting her steak with an indifferent shrug, replied, “No chance We’re used to this way of
being around each other, so I don’t mind”
Cooper stared at her in silence before slowly saying. “You’re lying
“Oh?” Seraphina looked up at him
“You haven’t done anything wrong, yet you’re treated like this” Cooper put down his cutlery and added
after a pause. “How can you not feel upset?”
Seraphina rolled her eyes, a spark in them, but still managed to keep a smile “Maybe my existence is a
mistake in itself.”
She finished, gave him a smile, and went back to her meal.
Cooper felt a pang in his heart
After a while, he quietly said, “That is even less your fault”
Seraphina looked up at him, raised her ss and clinked it lightly against his, saying, “I don’t often
share these things. Thanks for understanding”
“I don’t often hang out with people either,” Cooper raised his ss, “Thank you for thepany”
They looked at each other andughed
At night, they went to an out–of the–way cinema to watch a movie
Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.
It was a foreign indie film, spoken in their nativenguage. This was the only cinema in town showing it,
but maybe for that reason, the turnout was good. About 30% of the audience were from their country
Cooper chose the film It was directed by a director who had been quiet for quite some time in their
country Cooper was a fan of his first film and chose this one mainly to introduce Seraphina to this
director However, he was disappointed after the two hour screening
Creativity needed soul, but in this film, the director seemed to have lost his initial spark. And what’s
even worse was, he had added many clichéd tearjerker scenes While Cooper couldn’t appreciate such
a film, many girls in the theater left with red eyes, still clutching their tissues. But when Cooper looked
at Seraphina, her face was expressionless When the saw the other girls crying she even winked at him
and giggled
“What did you think? Cooper asked her.
‘Meh. It’s a bit over the top with the sentimentality, but overall it’s okay” Seraphina shrugged and said,
Cooper chuckled, “But it didn’t move you”
Seraphina suddenly pulled her eyelids wide open at him, “I can’t cry because I don’t have tear ducts.”
Cooper fell silent for a moment and moved a little closer as if to verify her im
Seraphina couldn’t help butugh and gently pushed him away
When they left the cinema, it was alreadyte. Despite his disability, Cooper insisted that the driver
take Seraphina home first,
They arrived under Seraphina’s apartment building As Seraphina was about to go upstairs, Cooper
suddenly called her back.
Seraphina turned around and walked back to the car asking him, “What’s up?”
“I’m really d to have met you again,” Cooper said.
Seraphina smiled and said, ‘Me too.”
After a moment of silence. Cooper spoke again, I hope that one day we can be best friends”
Seraphina looked at him for a moment and then smiled and said, “Okay. Let’s work on that!”
Cooper was still watching her with a tender and serious look in his eyes
“It’ste. You should go home and rest,” Seraphina said, “We’ll hang out some other time
Cooper nodded. He turned and told the driver to drive off
Seraphina stood at the bottom of the apartment building. She watched the car disappear into the
distance before turning to go upstairs.
The light on her floor had been broken for two days. Today, it was still not fixed Seraphina reached out
in the dark, about to open the door, when she suddenly felt an unusual atmosphere. Her hair stood on
end
In the darkness, someone seented to be hiding not far from her.
Seraphina paused for a moment, concentrated, and then suddenly kicked towards the darkest part of
thedor
However, the next moment, her foot was easily caught by the person Before she could react, she was
pushed against the wall.
Seraphina was about to fight back when she suddenly smelled a familiar scent. Then she heard a
deep, cold voice, “Trying to use the moves I taught you against me, huh?”
Seraphina leaned against the cold wall, her leg held high by him, but she justughed and said, “Am I
dreaming?”
She reached out and gently touched the face of the man in front of her
In the darkness, the sensation of her palm was panicrly clear Seraphina slowly touched his chin,
lips, nose, and eyes.
The familiar features and contours formed a face she knew all too well. Seraphina sighed, slowly
saying. “If I knew it was you, I would have brought a gun-
She said this with a bit of fierceness, but the next second, sheughed again. Shaking off his hold, she
turned and unlocked the door
The lights in the room turned on as soon as the door opened. Only then did Seraphina get a clear look
at Leandro outside
After almost a month, Leandro finally appeared in front of her He was still impably dressed in a
ck suit and shirt, his eyes deep, his aura powerful
Seraphina leaned against the door and looked at him. Suddenly she reached out her hand, making a
gun gesture.
Leandro stepped forward, grabbing hold of her hand
Seraphina tried to yank her hand back, but Leandro had a tight grip on it, not budging an inch
After a bit of a tug–of–war, Seraphina finally gave up She looked up at Leandro and asked, “What’s up?
Why are you here?”
“Don’t you have something to tell me?” Leandro shot back.
“About what? Seraphina blinked, calmly meeting his gaze. Then, as if a light bulb went off, she
eximed, “Oh, you mean the stuff I was supposed to tell you a month ago?
Let me think.”
And with that, she really did start to think. Recalling the memory, she said, “That day, I waited for you in
my room till dawn, but you never showed up. I eventually fell asleep. When I woke up again, I had
forgotten what I wanted to tell you Whatever it was, it doesn’t really matter now right?”
