Chapter 347
Seraphina just dropped the one question that Tania was dying to know.
How much Bowen spent tonight wasn’t what bothered her, but his attitude did.
As they were leaving, the staff delivered Bowen’s purchases to the car, and Tania’s gaze was glued to
the ruby ring.
However, until the car left Cedarcrest Chateau and had gone some distance, Bowen still didn’t say a
word.
Tania had been holding it in all night, and now she couldn’t take it anymore. She sharply reached out
and knocked on the driver’s seat, “Stop the car!”
The driver was flustered, “Ms. Martin…”
“I told you to stop!” Tania snapped, “Are you deaf?”
Left with no choice, the driver slowly pulled over.
Only then did Bowen speak, “What are you doing?”
“I didn’t do anything!” Tania snapped, “I don’t want to ride in your car! I’ll walk back myself!”
Just as she was about to open the door, Bowen reached out and grabbed her.
“Let go of me!” Tania struggled.
Bowen turned to the driver, “You go wait outside the car for a bit.”
The driver quickly got out, closing the door behind him and giving them some privacy.
Bowen turned back
Tania, “Everything was fine, why are you suddenly mad?”
Tania scoffed, “You can throw a tantrum, but I can’t?”
Hearing this, Bowen sighed, “I know I was off tonight, you should’ve told me earlier if you were upset.”
“Tell you?” Tania’s eyes welled up, “Didn’t you see how scary your face was! How could I dare to tell
you? I didn’t even dare to speak to you!”
Bowen held her in his arms and gave her a quick peck, “Was it really that scary?”
Tania shoved him away, turning her head to avoid answering.
“Then I apologize.” Bowen said, “I was wrong. It won’t happen again, okay?”
Tania still didn’t respond after hearing this.
Bowen was silent for a moment, then sighed again, “The watch and the ruby ring, they were both
Sandra’s.”
Hearing this, Tania quickly turned to look at him, “They were hers? Then why did you tell the reporters
earlier that you didn’t know who they belonged to?”
“Those items were all tied to my rtionship with Sandra.” Bowen said, “If I told the reporters the truth,
it would be the same as letting them dig up Sandra’s past. Sandra’s gone now. I don’t want her to be
bothered by this.”
Tania paused, then asked, “So, why did Seraphina have those items?”
“Can’t you see that this charity auction tonight was specifically arranged by Seraphina for me?” Bowen
said, “The three items she brought out were all rted to Sandra, she did it to provoke me…”
Tania suddenly grabbed his sleeve, “Why?”
“Recently, Leandro and I have beenpeting a lot in business. The Martin Group has sessfully
won over many long-term partners of the Reynolds Group. Naturally, they would harbor resentment
towards me.” Bowen said, “This is clearly… their deration of war against me.”
Tania frowned, “Businesspetitions aremon, how could they use such methods to influence
you?”
After hearing this, Bowen leaned down and kissed her again. This time, Tania didn’t avoid him.
“They did influence me a bit.” he said, “That’s why you got dragged into this… I’m sorry, can you forgive
me?”
Tania was silent for a moment, then hummed in response, still looking a bit upset.

“Still angry?” Bowen asked, “Do you want to hit me or bite me?”
Tania lifted her hand and pinched him hard, then asked, “Who are you nning on giving the ring you
bought back at the auction to?”
Upon hearing this, Bowen replied quietly, “That belonged to Sandra, so I can’t give it to you.”
Even though Tania had prepared herself for his answer, she couldn’t control her anger when she heard
him say it out loud. Just as she was about to argue, she saw Bowen reach into the storage
compartment and pull out arge blue velvet box.
Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the box, only breaking her stare when Bowen opened it
in front of her.
Inside was a full set of emerald jewelry.
Tania suddenly covered her mouth, but couldn’t helpughing.
“Isn’t this better than that ring?” Bowen asked, “Are you still angry now?”
“You did this on-purpose!” Tania grabbed his tie, “You jerk, why didn’t you bring it out earlier?”
Bowen looked at her and slowly started to smile, “A gift like this should be given when you’re the
angriest, right? That’s when it’s most effective, right?”
Tania huffed again, then threw her arms around him.
Bowen lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling her tight grip on him, his eyes slowly
darkened.
After the auction was over, there was still a lot of work to be done on site.
Especially the payment part, it had to be settled and recorded under the supervision of a notary public,
and Seraphina had to be present.
“It might take a while here, why don’t you go back and rest?” Seraphina asked Leandro.
“No need.” Leandro replied, “You do your thing, I can chat with Spencer.”
Knowing that the owner of Cedarcrest Chateau, Spencer, was an important figure, Seraphina agreed. It
was a rare opportunity to interact with someone of his caliber, “Go ahead.”
By the time she finished all her work, it was alreadyte into the night.
Seraphina walked into the garden from the hall, only to see Leandro sitting alone at a stone table in the
garden, apanied by his bodyguard. There were two teacups on the table, but the tea inside had
already gone cold.
“Where’s Spencer?” Seraphina asked.
Leandro slowly stood up, slipped off his suit jacket and put it around her.
“Look at the time, Spencer is not getting any younger. How could his people let him stay upte?”
Seraphina looked up at him, I sense some grudge in your voice.”
Leandro didn’t respond, just held her hand and walked out.
After a few steps, Seraphina said, “Here’s the thing, you’ve spent quite a lot of energy and money
tonight. To show my gratitude, I’ll give you a gift. Just name it.”
Upon hearing this, Leandro gave a slight smile, “That’s quite a thoughtful gift.”
Seraphina grumbled a bit, “Well, it’s the thought that counts. If you can’t think of anything, it will save
me the trouble.”
Leandro looked at her, but didn’t respond for a moment.
Seraphina thought that would be it, until they arrived back at Reynolds Manor, back to her room, back
to her bed-
The moment Leandroid on top of her, he asked a question, “Are you on your safe period?”
