Chapter 323


    Seraphina took a sip of her milk, and seemingly choked on Conway’s words. Then, as if remembering


    something, she wiped her mouth and chuckled, “Yeah, grandpa, I got homete yesterday and didn’t


    get a chance to tell you… Um, I’m actually not mom and dad’s child.”


    Even though Conway was mentally prepared, hearing her casually drop this bombshell left him


    stunned.


    Valerio was young, but he seemed to grasp what Seraphina was saying.


    He didn’t fully understand the emotionalplexities yet, but he looked at Seraphina with concern in


    his eyes.


    Seraphina nced at him, quickly ruffled his hair reassuringly, and whispered, “It’s all good.”


    Then she looked at Conway, “Grandpa, I’ve already discussed this with my mom. She had been


    torturing herself thinking I was dad’s child with another woman. But now that she knows the truth, she


    should be able to forgive the past.”


    After hearing this, Conway fell silent for a long time, then sighed, “How did this happen?”


    “I don’t know the truth about this yet.” Seraphina said, “But the most important thing right now is to


    alleviate mom’s distress. We can figure out the restter.”


    Conway stayed silent for a bit, then said, “Sera, if anything’s bothering you, you can talk to me.”


    “Grandpa, I’m fine.” Seraphina slowly said, “Honestly, I’m kinda happy… I’ve spent many years


    wondering why mom treated me the way she did, but now I’ve found the reason, and I feel a lot better.”


    Hearing this, Conway let out another sigh.


    Seraphina turned to Valerio as if nothing had happened, “You’re still home thiste, you’re gonna be


    late for school. I’ll drop you off and exin to your teacher.”


    Upon hearing that, Valerio immediately nodded and smiled.


    Seraphina hurriedly finished her breakfast, then left with Valerio.


    Just as Seraphina left the house, Terrence’s car hastily pulled up into the Reynolds family’s driveway.


    After parking, Terrence quickly got out of the car and headed straight for the house.


    Conway was sitting in the living room. Seeing Terrence, he immediately had a hunch.


    “Mister.” Terrence rushed in, asking straight away, “Is Magdalen here?”


    Conway slowly shook his head.


    Terrence, usually calm andposed, looked flustered, “Then do you know where she went?”


    “Sit down first.” Conway told him, “Take your time.”


    Terrence obediently sat down, took a deep breath, and pulled out a ring box from his pocket. Inside


    was a huge diamond ring.


    “This morning, Magdalen had this ring sent back to me.” Terrence slowly said, “She only had the


    messenger say ‘thank you’ and nothing else. I went to her hotel and they told me she had checked out,


    her phone is off, and she’s not here either. Where on earth did she go?”


    Conway, after hearing this, let out a gentle sigh, “You should understand what Magdalen means.”


    “I understand, but I don’t get why!” Terrence said, “She was fine yesterday, and today she suddenly


    changed… Sera went to see herst night, did she say something to her? Where is Sera?”


    “This has nothing to do with Sera.” Conway calmly said, “Magdalen just… found herself again. She had


    been lost for too long.”


    After dropping Valerio off at school and having a brief chat with his teacher, Seraphina left.


    As soon as she stepped out of the school, her phone rang.


    Seraphina took out her phone and saw Andrea’s name.


    They quickly met up at a nearby cafe.


    Andrea still looked like a properdy, but Seraphina could tell at a nce that she probably didn’t get


    much sleepst night.


    Andrea could also tell that Seraphina was not in the best shape. The shock Seraphina received from


    this incident was obviously much greater than hers, especially since she was the older sister.


    So Andrea quickly asked, “Are you okay?”


    Seraphina nodded, “I’m fine.”


    Andrea observed her seriously for a while before asking, “Did you tell the family about this?”


    “I told some of them.” Seraphina answered quietly, then looked at her, “What about you?”


    Andrea slowly shook her head, “I won’t tell anyone about this until you give your consent. Not even dad


    or Leandro.”


    Upon hearing this, Seraphina’s eyes flickered slightly, “Did Leandroe looking for you?”


    “Yes.” Andrea said, “It’s clear he’s really worried about you, but he doesn’t want to push you, so he


    came to me for answers. Why didn’t you tell him?” Seraphina chuckled softly upon hearing this, “It’s not


    that I didn’t want to tell him, it’s just that I wasn’t readyst night…”.


    Andreaughed softly, “He must be pretty anxious, huh.”


    ? ? ?? ? ?? ? ?


    After hearing this, Seraphina nced at her again, “You once went on a date with him and paid special


    attention to him, did I make you feel awkward?”

    Upon hearing this, Andrea burst outughing, “I wouldn’t feel awkward about this, and besides, I don’t


    like him.”


    Seraphina quietly stared at her, not responding Immediately.


    Seeing her like this, Andrea knew she was somewhat skeptical, so she straightened up and slowly


    said, “The reason I dated him and paid attention to him wasn’t


    because I liked him, but because I saw the potential in… the Reynolds family.”


    Seraphina arched an eyebrow slightly.


    Andrea went on, “That guy, he’s as cold as ice, never cracks a smile. What’s so charming about him


    that could possibly draw me in?” Andrea said, “Maybe he’s different in your eyes, but to me, he’s just…


    not my type.”


    Upon hearing this, Seraphina gave a slight smile and then asked, “So what’s the appeal of the


    Reynolds family for you?”


    Andrea paused for a moment, seemed to be deep in thought, then looked at Seraphina before deciding


    to tell the truth, “They’re rich,e from a good background, and have promising futures.”


    What she said was crystal clear, and Seraphina immediately associated it with the Martin family.


    Andrea quickly confirmed her guess, “Over the years, the affairs of the Martin family have been


    controlled by my father, but I don’t entirely agree with his way of handling things. I think if our family


    continues like this, it’s gonna be risky. So, I just want to get out of the Martin family, in and simple.”


    After hearing this, they looked at each other for a while, and then Seraphina said, “I’m the first person


    you’ve shared this thought with, aren’t I?”


    Andrea replied, “Yes. How could I easily share such a negative thought? Just voicing it is scary


    enough.” Then she added, “But luckily, you’re my sister.”
