    Chapter 145


    It wasn’t until Seraphina left that the penny dropped for Keen. He immediately became restless,


    regretting his hasty decision to hand the key to Seraphina.


    Yasmina was really put off by his behavior, and impatiently asked him, “What did Mr. Reynolds say to


    you when you went in?”


    “He didn’t say anything. Keen sighed in response.


    “Well then, there’s no issue, right?” Yasmina said, “If Mr. Reynolds really didn’t want to see Ms.


    Bet, he would’ve kicked her out a long time ago, knowing his personality. Why can’t you just be a


    bit smarter?”


    Keen mulled over her words for a moment, finding some truth in them.


    As he was deep in thought, Yasmina’s phone on the desk suddenly rang. She quickly answered, “Mr.


    Reynolds”


    “Have HR send out two warning letters, Leandro’s cold voice came through the phone, “one for you


    and one for Keen.”


    Yasmina was speechless.


    Keen clenched his fists, wishing he could strangle her!


    Leandro’s new apartment was situated in the most bustling part of the city, boasting a view of the city’s


    hustle and bustle and tranquility. It was a two-story building with high ceilings and arge area The


    massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the iconic building of Sunburst City. It was luxurious no


    matter how you looked at it.


    Seraphina didn’t have time to take it all in, she quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and was out


    the door again.


    By the time she arrived at the nursing home, it was almost eleven o’clock. Conway’s secretary Lacy


    was overjoyed to see her, “Ms. Bet, you’re finally back! Conway has been thinking about you!”


    “How’s Grandpa beentely?” Seraphina asked as they walked.


    Lacy’s expression instantly turned serious, “Not so good. He’s been having trouble sleeping at night


    and napping sporadically during the day. He’s not in good spirits


    Seraphina felt a pang of sadness at this news.


    As she walked into Conway’s room, sure enough, he was asleep.


    Seraphina suddenly felt a wave of guilt.


    When she was with Conway he was in good spirits. But now, after she left, Conway had visibly aged


    and hisplexion was poor.


    Feeling guilty. Seraphina stopped in her tracks, turned to leave and not disturb him.


    However, Conway seemed to hear her footsteps and suddenly woke up.


    Hearing the noise, Seraphina quickly turned around, walked to the bedside and smiled at Conway,


    “Grandpa, I’m back!”


    Just waking up, Conway took a fewbored breaths before recognizing her, then gently scolded, “You


    little rascal, you finally decided toe back!”


    Seraphina sat down on the bed, leaning on Conway’s quilt, “How could I note back to a Sunburst


    City that has you in it!”


    Conway just gently scolded her.


    Seraphina stayed with Conway all day, not leaving until five in the afternoon to fulfill her promise to


    Valerio to pick him up from school


    When Conway heard that Seraphina was leaving, he was initially upset. But when he heard she was


    going to pick up Valerio, he happily let her go.


    After picking up Valerio, Seraphina headed straight back to Leandro’s new apartment.


    “Have you been here before?” Seraphina asked Valerio as they entered the apartment.


    Valerio nodded.


    “Why don’t you live here?”


    Valerio wrote down his answer in his notebook, “Karan doesn’t like it here.”


    Seraphina thought about it and found it understandable. Older people are ustomed to their living


    environment and don’t like to change easily. N?velDrama.Org content.


    “Do you like it here?” Seraphina asked again.


    Valerio nodded again.


    “Can we live here from now on?” Seraphina got down on his level and asked him.


    Valerio looked at her, his eyes full of excitement but also uncertainty.


    Seraphina patted his head, “I’ll stay here with you”


    Valerio blushed a bit when he heard that. He stared at Seraphina for a long time, then quickly nodded


    and ran off to the bathroom.


    Watching his back, Seraphina couldn’t help but smile, then she saw his notebook and sighed.


    Perhaps because hemunicates through writing, Valerio’s handwriting is very good. And he knows


    more words than other kids his age. He was such a smart child. Will he really never be able to speak in


    his life?


    That night, when Leandro returned to the apartment, he was greeted by the warm light as he opened


    the door.


    No one was downstairs, so Leandro slowly went upstairs.


    Valerio’s bedroom door was open, and Seraphina’s voice could be heard from inside, she seemed to


    be reading him a story. Leandro stood in the hallway for a moment before entering the room.


    Upon seeing him, Valerio looked nervously at Seraphina But she just smiled at him.


    “Why aren’t you sleeping? Leandro leaned against the door, looking deeply at Valerio.


    “We’re about to “Seraphina answered, We’ll sleep after this chapter.”


    Valerio obediently nodded.


    Leandro didn’t look at Seraphina, he just turned and left.


    Seraphina continued to read to Valerio until he fell asleep, then she left his room.


    In the small living room upstairs, Leandro was sitting on the sofa, smoking.


    Seraphina went over and casually asked him, “Tired? Do you want a hot bath? I can run the water for


    you.”


    As she said this, she reached out to gently touch Leandro’s shoulder, only to be grabbed by the wrist


    and pulled closer to him. “What’s your game?” Leandro asked icily.


    Seraphina chuckled, “Didn’t I already tell you this morning? I’m gonna marry you, be your wife. It’s


    my job to look after you.” As she spoke, she ced her hand on Leandro’s tie and slowly loosened it.


    Leandro then asked, “So how do you n to get back at me this time?”


    “Get back at you for what?” Seraphina responded, “I’ve let go of the past. Why are you always hung up


    on it?”


    Suddenly, Leandro pulled her into his arms, his other hand making its way under her skirt.


    Seraphina, who was ticklish, squirmed a bit before breaking into a docile smile.


    You sure go all out for someone who doesn’t matter,” Leandro remarked.


    Seraphina, resting on his shoulder, replied between breaths, “I’m not doing this for anyone else. I’m


    doing it for you.”


    Suddenly, Leandro withdrew his hand, gripping Seraphina’s face.


    Seraphina looked at him, her voice soft and sweet, “I didn’t realize you’d be so mad. But your anger


    shows you care about me. So, I should be happy…”


    “Seraphina” Leandro suddenly called her name, his grip on her chin tightening slightly, “You know


    what? That day on the phone when you told me to stay away, that was the attitude that made you


    likable.”


    Seraphina blinked, “When was that? When did I ever say such a thing?”


    Leandro gave a coldugh, pushed her away, got up and returned to his room, mming the door


    behind him with a loud “bang”.
