Chapter 254
When Seraphina thought back, she remembered that Leandro vaguely reminded her to wait for him in
the drawing room before he went
out in the moming
But she didn’t pay much attention at the time, and with the matter of Sandra, she totally forgot about it
From the sound of Leandros voice, was he in the drawing room now?
Seraphina nced at the road ahead, thought for a moment, and simply said, “I’m on my way”
Leandro didn’t say much and hung up the phone
When Seraphina returned to the drawing room, Leandro was sitting in her office flipping through some
picture albums. He looked up to see her and asked casually. “Where’d you go?
Seraphina answered offhandedly. “I was busting a cheater.”
Leandro gave her another look, “Who?”
“Why ask that?” Seraphina raised an eyebrow at him, “Feeling guilty?”
Leandro was used to her provocative tone and had learned to keep his cool.
“Well, the guy got lucky” Seraphina intentionally sighed again, saying, “we didn’t catch him…“
Leandro put down the picture album in his hand and walked straight towards Seraphina.
Seraphina immediately jumped to the side, “What for? You still want to pick on me even though I didn’t
get any evidence?”
Leandro reached out to hold her wrist and just said, “You still gotta eat even if you didn’t catch
anything”
So it was about asking her to dinner. Seraphina sighed lightly and said, “Im so pissed I could eat a
person!”
In the end, Leandro took her to a vegetarian restaurant.
This vegetarian restaurant, from the entrance, seemed familiar to Seraphina.
The restaurant was a very authentic countryside-style, quiet and delicate, with a small stream in the big
courtyard, the sound of running water, and some private rooms by the stream.
Upon entering the private room, there was arge floor-to-ceiling window with ake and forest outside,
a beautiful view right in front of
your eyes
Seraphina looked at the green water outside the window and suddenly remembered something.
There was no naturalndscape in the suburbs of Sunburst City, so thisndscape waspletely
man-made. It became a popr ce for sightseeing when it first opened because of its beautiful
scenery.
This restaurant opened in the year she left Sunburst City
When it first opened, it was heavily featured by several magazines and was very popr. You had to
book at least three months in advance to get a chance to enjoy it
One evening that year, she found a magazine in the Reynolds family’s restaurant. She was attracted by
the beautiful scenery in the photos and stood by the dining table to read it.
When Leandro came back, she was engrossed in reading.
She was very sensitive to his footsteps, but this time, she didn’t notice until he walked up behind her
and turned to look at him.
Leandro nced at her and took the magazine from her hand, “What’s so interesting that got all your
attention?”
“Nothing” Seraphina said, “Just browsing”
Leandro had seen the contents of the magazine before she reacted, looked at her, “Do you want to
go?”
Seraphina bjt her lip lightly, her initial reaction was to deny it, but she suddenly realized that the next
step of Leandro’s sentence might be to take her to this ce?
If so, wouldn’t that be a date?
This realization excited Seraphina, she forced back what she was about to say, just nodded and said,
“yes”
Leandro quietly watched her for a moment, then suddenlyughed, “Well, I think of a way”
you take me to dinner… her heart was beating very fast, almost breathless, “Then I take you to a
movie.”
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
Leandro raised his eyebrows slightly. “What movie?”
She didn’t think and just said, “Hachiko, I heard it’s very good, very touching”
11:07
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it a bit-
Would he like this kind of movie?
However, Leandro seemed to give her enough eptance and affection, he didn’t question anything,
just said. “Then it’s settled.”
She was so happy she couldn’t control herself, tiptoed up and quickly kissed his cheek.
However, she soon found out that the movie Hachiko was not sessfully released.
She thought it was okay, she could just pick a movie at that time, he would probably like it too.
So she was still waiting wholeheartedly for this promised date, until May, until she left Sunburst City.
Like the movie that was not released, this date eventually did not happen.
Now, nearly eight years have passed, and this date that she thought had disappeared in the past has
come true.
Eight years, this restaurant is still there, still popr and hard to book.
Could she and him go back to the way they were?
Seraphina stood in front of the floor-to-celling window, quietly watching the scenery for a long time
before turning back to Leandro, “How did you remember this ce?”
Leandro had just received the hot towel handed by the waiter and was wiping his hands. Hearing her
question, he didn’t answer but said, “Just don’t forget to invite me to the movie.”
“Okay” Seraphina said, “But, although the restaurant is still the same as before, that movie, we can’t
watch the one we agreed on.”
Leandro listened and didn’t object.
The meal was quite pleasant, although all vegetarian, it was very delicate and delicious. But the serving
time was too long and the portion size of each dish was too small- a vegetarian meal that felt like a
French-style meal.
Seraphina thought that the reason the meal was so slow was probably because the people who would
come here to eat were leisurely. The waiting time for the dishes could be used to chat about life, which
was in line with the ambience.
But she was preupied and when she calmed down, she couldn’t help but think of Sandra.
She was worried about Sandra’s situation, so she was a bit distracted
“Do you not like the food? Leandro suddenly asked, noticing her obvious distraction.
Seraphina snapped back to reality, showing a disgruntled face “Such pricey food, even if it tastes bad,
I’d still say it’s good. I was just wondering what movie we’re gonna watchter.”
Leandro shot her a nce, but kept his thoughts to himself.
After leaving the restaurant, before getting into the car, Seraphina finally couldn’t help but dial Sandra.
It appeared Sandra was waiting for this call, she picked up immediately.
Seraphina caught on to something quickly. “He still hasn’te home, has he?”
Sandra’s voice was low, “He probably won’t be home today.”
Seraphina nced at Leandro who was already in the car, ‘Do you need me toe over and keep
youpany?
“It’s okay.” Sandra said, “I think things through calmly Tomorrow… I’ll clear everything up with him. This
is thest time, absolutely thest time.”
Hearing this, Seraphina finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After hanging up the phone, she got into the car and looked at Leandro, “Have you decided what movie
you want to watch?”
