Chapter 237
After hearing what Seraphina had to say, Terrell looked at her earnestly, “What exactly are you trying to
say?”
Seraphina shrugged and smirked. “If you get what I’m saying, you ll understand. If you don’t, I can’t
exin it any better.”
As they walked out together, Leandro’s car was indeed parked at the curb.
Seeing theme out, Keen leaned into the car to say something. The window in the back rolled down
swiftly, revealing Leandro.
Upon seeing this. Terrell stepped forward and greeted, “Mr. Reynolds, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll get
going now.”
Leandro gave a slight nod.
Only then did Terrell turn to leave. Seraphina, however, remained by the car, watching Terrell’s
retreating figure for a long while before she finally looked
away
“Seen enough?” Leandro nced at her before asking
Seraphina looked away from him, her eyesnding on the stoic man inside the car. She shrugged
slightly Just as she was about to get into the car, she noticed a group of people emerging from the
concert hall across the street.
This street, being Sunburst City’s artistic hotspot, was a familiar scene to Seraphina who had seen
many artists over time. However, as she bent down to get into the car, she noticed Keen looking at the
group, seemingly lost in thought.
This piqued Seraphina’s curiosity. She paused her action of getting into the car and looked over at the
group again.
Among the group, a woman in a dark green coat who stood tall and slender with long, smooth hair and
honey-colored skin that glowed, was particrly eye-catching. Her beauty and charisma were
undeniable.
Amercial vehicle was parked at the entrance of the concert hall and someone was holding the
door open, inviting the woman to board.
Before she got into the car, the woman nced over in their direction. It seemed as if her eyes met
Keen’s and she paused for a moment before getting into the car.
Seraphinas action of getting into the car had been halted for a while. She straightened up and poked
Keen, “Do you know her? Who is she?”
Keen snapped back to reality, a fleeting unnatural expression crossing his face, “No…. I don’t know
her.”
Seraphina looked at him and just smiled.
Oh, what an honest guy.
By the time she got into the car, themercial vehicle had passed by her and gradually disappeared
into the night.
Seraphina’s gaze fell back onto Keen who quickly avoided her eyes again
She turned to look at Leandro.
The man beside her always carried a cold expression as if nothing ever concerned him. He only said
one thing, “Drive”
Seraphina didn’t say much either. Once her momentary curiosity passed, all she cared about was the
document in her bag.
Back at Reynolds Manor, Seraphina immediately imed Leandro’s study to start working.
ording to the documents she had, the man who had briefly interacted with Keeley by the vending
machine at the hospital was named Maddox, a 45-year-old professor in the physics department at
Sunburst University. He was an intellectual and an elite in society, with outstanding achievements in
teaching and research
Such a person didn’t seem like someone who would have any connection with a high school dropout
like Keeley.
But life is full of surprises. Sometimes, the impossible happens.
Sometimes, two seemingly unrted people have a chance to establish some sort of connection.
Seraphina only went through the documents once when the study door was suddenly pushed open
from the outside.
She looked up to see Leandro, fresh out of the shower, wearing only a ck bathrobe.
“Do you need the study?” Seraphina asked, raising her eyebrows.
“No.” Leandro responded.
No?
Seraphina looked at him again.
Leandro was usually dressed neatly when he was working in the study. This wasn’t his usual look when
he was about to work.
If he wasn’t here to work.. his intentions were clear.
Seraphina got up and walked over to him, smiling. “I’ve got a lot of documents to go through. If it’s not
urgent, could I have some quiet time to work Tonight?” She reached out and stroked his bathrobe
cor, “I’ve been at Starhaven for half a month and I’ve fallen behind on a lot of stuff. As a paid
employee, I need to do my job well, right?”
She made a good point and even brought up their good times at Starhaven Seraphina thought Leandro
wouldn’t reject her proposal.
You
“You didn’t rest on the ne and went straight to the office when we got back. You must be tired… As
she spoke, she subtly pushed Leandro towards the door, “You should go to bed early I won’t disturb
you.”
Leandro was actually pushed out of the study by her Seraphina thought she had sessfully secured
some time for herself tonight, but then she heard
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
”
Leandrbs
b say, “You have ten minutes.”
Seraphina was startled and looked up at him.
Leandro calmly looked back at her, his eyes revealing anticipation,
Seraphina scoffed, “You think you can just give me time? I don’t need it now!”
She reached up and hooked his neck, “Now I’m giving you time. One hour. You better satisfy me within
that time!”
Seeing her provocative demeanor, Leandro scooped her up in his arms and headed into the bedroom.
Leandro seemed a bit off tonight.
Seraphina noticed it clearly.
She was always cooperative in bed, and they had established a kind of understanding over time. But
tonight, that understanding seemed to falter-
Usually they were evenly matched, but tonight, Seraphina was constantly overpowered.
So… was he somehow triggered?
Seraphina began to recall the events of the day-
On the ne?
Their fight back to Sunburst City was smooth sailing.
At work?
Leandro never brought work stress home, let alone vented it out in bed
Because he knew she met Keeley? He knew she was working on the case, and he even approved it.
He shouldn’t be pissed about that.
Terrell?
She started working with Terrell since the Balch Lawson case. He wouldn’t be jealous about that, right?
Seraphina was clueless. Suddenly, a woman she saw when leaving the gallery today popped into her
mind.
Keen was slightly taken aback when he saw the woman, and the woman looked surprised too Clearly,
they knew each other.
But when she asked Keen, he instantly denied it. He was obviously lying
But why would he lie?
Suddenly, Seraphina turned her gaze to the man next to her
Did that woman have anything to do with him?
But even a stunner like Georgina couldn’t catch his eye. How could a man whocked security so
much that he couldn’t even sleep peacefully next to her, possibly have anything going on with another
woman?
That was a question worth pondering.
As Seraphina was deep in thought, Leandro suddenly pinched her chin, “Daydreaming?”
Busted. She didn’t bother to cover it up and just hummed lightly. “You’re just not good enough-
Before she could finish her sentence, Leandro lowered his head and kissed her passionately.
