Chapter 164
In recent times, life had turned in Leandro’s favor. The same people who once belittled him now sought
his approval. His journey to the top had been tumultuous, but now he was in charge, answering to no
one.
He took what he desired and dismissed the rest without a second thought. This included his pursuit of
Seraphina. She was what he wanted, and he was determined to win her heart
However, right now, he had numerous questions he wanted to pose to her, yet held back, fearing the
emotional impact they’d have on her.
Having taken control of the Reynolds Group, Leandro was known for his assertiveness andck of
mercy. He believed one should shape their own destiny, without seeking or giving pity
But what if he was the cause of all her past sorrows?
He rarely questioned his past choices, but he now wondered about a pivotal decision from seven years
prior. His thoughts raced, while Seraphina, oblivious to his internal conflict, leaned on the bar. “Mr.
Reynolds, she began. “Shouldn’t we be conversing? Why the silence?”
Leandro paused before responding. “There’s no value in discussing what–ifs”
“You’re right.” Seraphina nodded in agreement, “What about the others, Mr. Reynolds? Don’t you have
any questions? Look, with all this good booze you’ve given me, maybe I’ll be grateful and answer some
of your questions?”
Leandro looked at her. She was smiling, calmly staring at him, as if waiting for him to voice his doubts.
But Leandro didn’t ask.
After a while, Seraphina sighed, straightened up. “If you don’t have any questions, I’ll go to bed.”
With that, she got up, a bit wobbly, and headed upstairs.
Leandro sat at the bar, lighting a cigarette. As Seraphina slowly moved away, he didn’t look back or call
out to stop her. Without interruption, she made her way upstairs to her room, copsing onto the bed.
Though somewhat inebriated, rity still prevailed in Seraphina’s mind. Tonight’s events confirmed her
suspicion: Leandro knew. Given his meticulous nature, how could he not have uncovered the truth? He
surely must be aware of Betty. Yet, he remained silent, not inquiring about her pregnancy or about
Betty’s parentage.
Could it be that even the resolute Leandro asionally feltpassion?
With this thought, a sardonicugh escaped Seraphina’s lips before she wrapped herself in the
bedding. When she finally awoke, the afternoon of the next day had already set in.
She struggled to get up, went to the bathroom to take a shower to wake herself up, and when she
came out, she heard the doorbell.
She went downstairs to open the door, saw Keen standing outside, rolled her eyes, “You could’ve just
come in, why did you have to ring the bell?”
Keen cleared his throat with a light cough, murmured, “I didn’t want to disturb you.”
Seraphina felt his attitude today was a bit different from usual, a bit too respectful, so she gave him a
second look, “What are you here for?”
Keen approached Seraphina, box in hand. “Mr. Reynold’s had the 1869 Lafite you wanted shipped
overnight. He instructed me to deliver it immediately upon arrival.”
Seraphina’s eyes widened in surprise. After a pause, she eximed, “Has he gone mad?” Without
sparing a second nce at thevish gift, she retreated upstairs to dress and apply makeup.
By the time she returned downstairs, Keen was gone. The wine sat elegantly on the bar. As Seraphina
cast it a brief look, she mused to herself indeed. money had its power.
She hastened to the hospital, only to encounter an unexpected scene. A queue of suited men,
clutching briefcases, stood outside Conway’s room. On seeing her, they greeted in unison, “Good
afternoon, Ms. Bet.”
Inside the room, two more men in suits were showcasing the contents of their briefcases to Conway
Spotting Seraphina, Conway’s brow furrowed. “Why are youte? Come here, they’re presenting
selections for you!”
From a distance, Seraphina could discern that the briefcases overflowed with gleaming gold jewelry,
their sparkle undeniable.
“Conway, you should be resting, why are you fussing over these things?” Seraphinained.
Conway gave her a nce, and said, “You and Leandro are settled now, you should get married soon.
Come over and see what styles you like, I’ll give you whatever you like.”
Casting a cursory look over the items, Seraphina remarked, “None of these appeal to me. I prefer
tinum and diamonds, not gold.”
“Let Leandro buy you those” Conway said, “I’ll give gold ”
Seeing Conway so passionate and enthusiastic about this, Seraphina didn’t have the heart to refuse,
so she let the men outsidee in one by one, and randomly picked out a few items.
Once the men with the gold jewelry samples had left, Lacy entered the room, informing Conway. “The
master you’ve been waiting for has arrived”
“Quickly, let him in,” Conway responded without hesitation.
Curious, Seraphina inquired, “Who’s this?”
“He’s a renowned master, Conway replied. “I’ve summoned him to select an auspicious wedding date
for you and Leandro.”
At this revtion, a wave of headache washed over Seraphina.
After the master strolled into the room and did a bit of number crunching, he shed a smile at Conway
and said, “Looks like the Reynold’s family is all
set to tie the knot. Next month, January, and February all look good. The bride and groom are both in
for a blessing. It’s up to them to pick their favorite date.”
While Seraphina kept her cool and observed, Conway was all hyped up and called her over to pick a
date.
“I’m good with any,” Seraphina said, “Let Leandro decide.”
No sooner had she spoken than the door to the ward swung open Leandro walked in from outside,
nced at her and asked, “Decide what?”
Seraphina shot him a look, a smirk creeping into her heart. Talk about perfect timing, huh?
Conway’s eyes sparkled with mischief as he spoke. “Pick a date for your wedding with Sera. Since
she’s ready to follow your lead, I think it’s only fair you choose‘
Leandro approached the bedside, epting the three suggested dates from the master. After a brief
nce, he made his choice. We’ll settle on this date.”
Seraphina nced at it.
Wasn’t that… next month?N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
