Chapter 274
Seraphina was somewhat dazed due to a series of long dreams she had. It was only when she heard
his voice that she seemed to wake up a bit.
She had been overly tired in the past few days, and her sleep had been very restless. When she
sensed the familiar surroundings and smell, she felt a bit relieved, but increasingly she just wanted to
lay down and not move at all.
Leandro was lying next to her, and she felt a warmth from where he was, so she couldn’t help but
snuggle up to him.
Leandro opened his arms to wee her.
There were no lights on in the room. Seraphinay quietly for a while before asking, “What time is it
now?”
“Half past ten,” Leandro replied.
Seraphina was a bit puzzled, “p.m.?”
“Yes.”
Seraphina did a quick calction. Had she slept… thirteen hours in total?
Even so, at this moment, she still didn’t want to move, let alone get up.
But once awake, there’s always something pressing on the mind. After a while, she whispered again,
“Leandro, Sandra… Sandra’s cremation is tomorrow.”
There was no emotion in her voice as she said this. But after saying it, she
voluntarily leaned into Leandro.
Leandro held her, silent for a while, then slowly said, “I’ll go with you to say goodbye to her tomorrow.”
Seraphinay in his arms with her eyes closed, silent for a long time.
Feeling her stillness, Leandro pulled the nket over her and said, back
Seraphina didn’t respond, but there was no further movement.

It was quite a while before Leandro realized that she had fallen asleep again. H
She was clinging to him as if he was her pir, quietly lying in his arms. Her breathing gradually
steadied.
Leandro lowered his head and gave her a soft kiss on
on the forehead.
In the pitch-ck room, listening to her gentle and even breathing, Leandroy quietly for a long time,
eventually falling asleep.
The next morning, Seraphina woke up before Leandro.
She had slept for too long, and she had ns for the day, so she was awake before the sky was fully
lit.
There was a faint morning light in the room. With this light, Seraphina could see the person in front of
her clearly.
Leandro… the sleeping Leandro?

“You’re up this early?” Leandro’s voice was slightly h oa rse when he spoke again.

But Leandro had actually fallen asleep in her bed…

“You can sleep a bit more.” Without thinking too much, Seraphina said this and prepared to get up.
But Leandro reached out and pulled her back.
“Stay with me,” he said.
Seraphina was stunned, and before she could react, she was pulled back into his arms and couldn’t
move.

She nced at the electronic clock on the bedside table. It was still early, so she decided to stay quietly
like this.
However, even though she was still, Leandro, who was holding her tightly, didn’t fall asleep again.
His face was buried in her shoulder, and his mind was filled with thoughts of his previous sleep.
How many years has it been since he had a carefree sleep?
Since those few near-death experiences a few years ago, he had never fully rxed. Over the years,
as long as there were people around, he couldn’t sleep peacefully.
For the same reason, he wouldn’t sleep in the car or on a ne. Even on a trip thatsted more than
ten hours, he never closed his eyes as long as there were people around.
This problem didn’t get any better even after he reunited with her.
Butst night, he fell asleep holding her.
For many years, he had been trying to convince himself to let go of the past, and finallyst night, he
saw the results.
There’s still a chance for them, isn’t there?
The two of themy there with their own thoughts for over an hour. At half-past six, when Seraphina
saw that it was about time, she was about to wake him up, but Leandro let her go and kissed her
forehead, “It’s about time, let’s get up.”
The uing event didn’t leave Seraphina with the mind to think about anything else. She just
responded lowly and got up.
Usually, it took her a lot of time to get ready and dress up before going out, but today, Seraphina’s outfit
was very simple. She had everything ready in just twenty minutes and left the house with Leandro.
She didn’t say a word the entire time, and Leandro didn’t say anything either, just silently held her hand
tightly.
It was still early, and the traffic in the city was smooth. But once they left the city center and headed
towards the funeral home, the road was surprisingly jammed with cars.
Seraphina couldn’t help but stick her head out to look, “Why is it like this? Why is there traffic so early?”
Leandro pulled her head back in and justforted her, “Don’t worry, I’ve sent someone to check it
out.”,
A bodyguard quickly went up to investigate and disappeared into the crowd after a short while.
Seraphina sat in the car, watching the flow of cars in front of her, and couldn’t help but clench her
hands.
Seeing her like this, Leandro once again took her hand and ced it in his palm to prevent her from
getting too nervous.
About ten minutester, the two bodyguards came back to the car, reporting back to Leandro about the
situation ahead: “City’s water pipe up ahead has busted, the road’s flooded out, we can’t go through for
now.”
Hearing this, Seraphina quickly turned to the driver, “Are there any other routes?”
“Well…yeah,” the driver said a bit awkwardly, “But we’d have to take a massive detour, might not make
it in time…”
Leandro was mulling it over, when suddenly Seraphina leaned back in her seat, dropped her gaze and
seemed lost in thought for a moment. Then, she cracked a small smile and said, “Forget it.”
Leandro turned to look at her. Seraphina slowly said, “She’s always been there for me, looking out for
me, but I haven’t really done anything for her… Still, she’s never med me. Even if we’rete today,
she won’t me me…”N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
