Chapter 248


    At first, Seraphina was slightly taken aback, but then she came to her senses and didn’t avoid his


    affection, even ying along with him asionally.


    The more she did this, the more forceful Leandro became, leaning his entire body towards her, nearly


    pinning her to the back seat,


    unable to move.


    Until the driver who went to the restroom and the bodyguard who went to buy coffee both returned to


    the car


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    The driver hurriedly pulled open the driver’s seat door, intending to get back on the road immediately.


    But after just a nce inside, he quickly closed the door and made a gesture to the approaching


    bodyguard, signaling him to stay back. The air outside the car seemed to freeze for a moment, and the


    affection inside the car abruptly stopped.


    Leandro released Seraphina, but his gaze was still locked on her.


    Their breathing was slightly rushed, Seraphina sat up, tidied her hair and clothes, and then shot


    Leandro a nce, “Who do you prefer, me or Ms. Magnolia?”


    Leandro suddenly reached out, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him.


    Seraphina calmly looked at him, waiting for his answer


    “Seraphina.” Leandro murmured her name. “If I was interested in other women, I wouldn’t be wasting


    my time on you”


    Seraphina blinked, ‘Really? But that night, weren’t you-”


    She was going to make a joke, but halfway through, she realized something.


    Leandro never lied or put on an act in front of her. If he said no, then it definitely wasnt.


    But that night, he clearly lost control in bed after seeing Magnolia.


    Leandro knew what she was thinking.


    She had brought it up the night they had a fight, that he lost control in bed because of Magnolia, and


    she brought it up again today.


    In her view, his loss of control was due to special feelings for Magnolia.


    But she had never realized, nor had he himself, until the night he saw Magnolia again, what was the


    reason for his special treatment of Magnolia, the woman that he only met once, spoke a few words,


    and generously sent her abroad.


    In the years that followed, he seldom thought of this woman. Heter thought his generosity was just a


    result of being drunk and impulsive.


    Until that night, when he saw her again outside the gallery, he clearly remembered that night six years


    ago.


    She was timid, lonely, and cautious that night, but at some point, her eyes sparkled.


    That was a troubling, dark time for him..


    He saw the sparkle in her eyes and treated her especially well.


    But why would someone as cold as him do such a thing?


    That night, he found the answer


    He had seen the same sparkle in another person’s eyes, so he was momentarily moved, momentarily


    confused, momentarily dazed.


    He knew that some pasts should not be revisited and some people should not be remembered.


    Maybe at some point that night, with a little effort, he could have obsessively recalled everything rted


    to that other person.


    But he suppressed his impulse and didn’t give himself the chance to continue indulging.


    It wasn’t until six yearster, when that person was already by his side, that he finally dared to recall


    everything about her without any reservations.


    It was also six yearster when he realized that in those lonely, dark years, he hadn’tpletely


    forgotten some things from the past, he


    had even missed them.


    How could all of this have anything to do with anyone other than her?
