Chapter 151
Seraphina didn’t give a hoot about Leandro, she just took Valerio upstairs and back to his room.
Ever since meeting Valerio, he rarely showed any emotions, let alone crying like this, with no regard for
anything.
Seraphina figured he’d do what other kids do, stop or fall asleep when he’s all cried out. But Valerio just
kept crying silently on her shoulder, showing no signs of stopping
“You’re a boy, you know. If you keep crying like this, no girls are gonna like you,” Seraphina said softly
But Valerio didn’t react at all.
1 don’t like boys who cry all the time either, Seraphina said.
Hearing this, Valerio suddenly gripped the fabric of Seraphina’s clothes on her shoulder, his little hand
forming a trembling fist.
Seraphina nced at the small fist on her shoulder, suddenly taken aback.
He’s really afraid of her leaving.
Seraphina was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, “Well, I won’t leave, okay? So, will you stop
crying?”
Hearing that, Valerio suddenly sat up straight, looking at Seraphina Although he was still sobbing
uncontrobly, he started wiping his tears fiercely. Seeing him like this, Seraphina’s heart hurt and she
hugged him again.
By the time Seraphina finally managed to soothe Valerio and put him to sleep, she was about to leave
the room when Leandro appeared at the door.
Seraphina looked back at the sleeping Valerio, closed the door, then turned to Leandro, “Sorry, Mr.
Reynolds, looks like I’ll be bothering you a bit longer.. But it’s all for your son, so you’re not going to
kick me out, right?”
Her tone was calm, her gaze indifferent, no longer filled with hypocrisy and ttery.
In front of Leandro, Seraphina finally took off her maskpletely.
Leandro suddenly stepped forward, almost backing her into the wall, but Seraphina just looked at him
calmly, not avoiding his gaze at all.
“Don’t you hate me?” Leandro’s voice was low, “Why are you still here?”
Seraphina suddenlyughed.
She looked at Leandro, slowly saying, “When I was young, I had bad taste. You’re hateable, but I can
only me myself for being blind. I’ve had my revenge on you. As for what you think, I don’t care.
Whether you love me or hate me, I don’t mind. It would be best if we could get along, but if you can’t
stand me, go ahead and keep attacking and avenging me with your tricks, I don’t care.”
Leandros gaze stayed on her face, waiting for her to continue.
“But what could you use to threaten me now? I’m a risk–taker, and I won’t be threatened by you,
Seraphina said calmly. “The one sleeping inside is your son, and the one living in the nursing home is
your grandpa. You wouldn’t use them to threaten me, would you? I think all your rare sincerity has been
used on them. So, I’d advise you to put our past aside for their sake, and pretend nothing happened”
After Seraphina finished, she smiled slightly at him, “After all, once you care whether it’s love or hate,
you’ll lose!”
With that, she pushed past Leandro and went downstairs to get her luggage.
Leandro watched her retreating figure in silence.
She said that he should pretend nothing happened. It seemed like she hadpletely let go..
And the one who truly cares is the loser?
Well, he agreed.
Seraphina felt her honest words to Leandro had some effect.
For the next few days, Leandro really ignored her existence, letting here and go as she pleased.
Every day she picked up and dropped off Valerio, and spent time with Conway when she was free
Ferne went back to Sunburst City, not wanting to be outdone by her, an outsider, also often came to the
nursing home to apany Conway.
Ferne and Seraphina had a bad rtionship since childhood, to be precise, Ferne didn’t like her from
childhood-
Before Seraphina came to the Reynolds family, Ferne was the most favored child in the Reynolds
family, smart, beautiful, and active. After Seraphina came to the Reynolds family, although she was like
an invisible person in the Reynolds family, she took away a lot of love in front of Conway More
importantly, she and Ferne went to the same school and the same ss, and their academic
performances were simr. Ferne could dance, and Seraphina could draw. Therefore, to Ferne,
Seraphina was always apetitor, and after the Vivian incident, Ferne disliked her even more.
Luckily, Seraphina was in a low mood recently and didn’t want to fight with her, and Ferne also
considered Conway’s health, so the two got along rtively peacefully
One day, Sandra invited Seraphina to her house for dinner in advance. Seraphina originally thought
Ferne woulde to the nursing home to apany Conway, but Lacy said Ferne called and said
she had an appointment and wouldn’te today.
“I won’t go to dinner” Seraphina said to Conway after hearing this, “Let’s go out for a walk.”
Conway rolled his eyes, “Aren’t you bored being with an old man all day? You have a date, go! Young
people should live a little freely, don’t always revolve
around me.”
Seraphina also rolled her eyes, “Now you’re talking sense? Who was the one who insisted I
apany him before?”

The two bantered for a while, and in the end, Seraphina still decided to take up Sandra’s invitation
Unexpectedly, when she got to Sandra’s family. Bowen was there too. He smiled and greeted her when
he saw Seraphina.
“You are home too?” Seraphina asked, “That’s unexpected, Sandra said you rarelye back.”
Hearing this, Bowen smiled and patted Sandra’s head, “I’m here because she alwaysins. Plus I
did mention before about treating you to a meal, of course I needed toe back”
“Stop patting my head Sandra brushed his hand off a bit annoyed, turned around to grab Seraphina’s
hand, “It’s still early, let’s go upstairs.”
Seraphina waved to Bowen and followed Sandra upstairs.
Bowen stood downstairs, watching them with a smile.
In Sandra’s room, Seraphina was trying out her newly purchased makeup while asking. You
comined that your brother seldomes home, and now that he’s home, you’re acting so
indifferent, why is that?”
Sandra frowned but didn’t answer.
Seraphina didn’t press, instead she started trying out perfumes after the makeup). After trying all of
Sandra’s perfumes, she still seemed unsatisfied, “Is
that all?”
Sandra nced at her, “You smell stronger than a perfume counter in a mall now, are you still not
satisfied?”
Seraphina shrugged and turned to look at her, “By the way, how’s your boyfriend doing?”
On hearing this, Sandra frowned, “Not so good, I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Did you break up?”
Sandra bit her lip, “Almost”
Seraphina looked at her, “You seemed to like him a lot? I’m curious what kind of person he is.”
“I don’t like him at all.” Sandra turned her face away, answering briefly
“Really?” Seraphina chuckled, “A woman only gets bothered by the man she likes. If you didn’t like him,
you would’ve forgotten him long ago. Are you sure you don’t want to tell me?”
“Why don’t you tell me, do you have such feelings for Leandro… Sandra couldn’t help but change the
subject.
Seraphina smiled at her, “What do you think?”
Sandra quietly locked eyes with her for a moment, then exhaled slightly. “I’m d you don’t. But you’ve
been living under the same roof with him, I’m a bit
worried…”
“We’re just simply living together.” Seraphina shrugged, “Whatever he’s thinking, I don’t care. I’m not
the one being tormented anyway.”
Sandra heard this, but still couldn’t help sighing.
When it was time for dinner, Bowen came to call them.
As Seraphina passed by Bowen to leave, he suddenlyughed, “How many different kinds of perfume
have you mixed? It smells quite nice.”
Hearing this, Seraphina alsoughed, The cologne on you smells good too, I prefer such unisex
scents.”
Bowen heard this and raised an eyebrow slightly. “Then our tastes are quite simr.”
Sandra nced at Bowen and went downstairs frowning.
At the dinner table, Sandra seemed to be troubled by her rtionship issues, and didn’t seem very
interested. However, Bowen was clearly good at breaking the ice. Despite Sandra’s low spirits, he and
Seraphina, whom he just met, were able to chat very happily without any awkward silences.
Sandra didn’t participate much, just focused on serving Seraphina food.
Halfway through dinner, Seraphina was about to bring up Sandra’s rtionship issue again when her
phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Seraphina immediately picked up the call, “Lacy”
“Ms. Bet Lacy sounded extremely panicked, “Mr. Conway just fell and passed out!”
Seraphina immediately stood up, “What’s the situation now?”
We’re on our way to the hospital” Lacy answered, “Ms. Bet, it’d be great if you could get here as
soon as possible.”
Tll be there right away” Seraphina hung up the phone and headed for the door, “My grandfather had an
ident. I need to rush to the hospital.”
Seeing her like this, the two of them also stood up immediately. Sandra asked anxiously, “What
happened?”
“There no time to talk” Bowen said, “Let’s drive Sera to the hospital together.”
Half an hourter, the three of them hurried to the hospital.
Just as they reached the emergency room, Seraphina suddenly stopped.
This time waspletely different from thest time Conway pretended to be sick to trick her. At this
moment, almost all of the Reynolds family were gathered in the hospital, anxiously waiting in the
corridor.
When Seraphina walked in, everyone looked at her and then quickly looked away Everyone had no
mood to pay attention to her.
Seraphina’s palms started to feel cold, her body stiff. She slowly retreated to a corner, quietly watching
the people in front of her.
