Chapter 378


    Herman was about to call Leandro when he saw Leandro’s car drive through the gate. He initially


    thought Leandro and Seraphina might have had a fight, but seeing Leandro rushing over in a shirt, he


    thought otherwise.


    Leandro’s style was always meticulous, even if there was a slight wrinkle on his suit, he would change


    it, not to mention the slight water stain on the shirt he just put on.


    Herman was a bit puzzled. He wanted to follow in to see what was happening, but didn’t want to disturb


    them at this time, so he went to the corner to


    smoke.


    He had just taken a few puffs when he saw Andreaing out of the gate, standing under the eaves.


    Herman hid in the shadows, carefully observing the woman.


    He had once warned Seraphina that this woman had feelings for Leandro, but Seraphina seemed to


    trust this woman too much.


    The women of the Martin family… The thought of it sent shivers down Herman’s spine.


    What kind of daughters could the Martin family raise? Tania was a perfect example.


    Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    And Andrea, although ordinary on the surface, was probably even more terrifying.


    As Herman watched Tania’s back, he pondered.


    As he was deep in thought, a familiar song suddenly yed from the office building’s entrance-


    “The long night, the stars will never stop, I ask why people cannot exist forever, I hope we leave a light


    to illuminate the dark night…”


    Herman heard the sound, looked at Andrea, and saw her take out her phone from her bag and answer


    it.


    Herman instantly became alert.


    The call was from Simon. After Andrea answered the call, she said, “Dad.”


    Simon asked about the situation on the other end of the phone. After Andrea truthfully answered, she


    finally said, /Dad, my uncles Lionel and Teague are here, I can’t help much here.”


    Simon didn’t say much, just said, “Then you go back and rest early.”


    Andrea responded, quickly hung up the phone.


    But as soon as she put down her phone, she heard a snicker from behind.


    Andrea turned her head and saw Hermaning out of the shadows.


    Herman, with a cigarette in his hand, squinted at her and said, “You won’t even help your own cousin.


    You’re really fair.”

    After a moment of silence, Andrea calmly said, “If I helped her, Mr. Herman, you would probably say I


    had other/motives for getting close to Seraphina. No matter what I do, I will be criticized. I don’t need to


    care about what others think.”


    After saying this, she made a goodbye gesture to Herman-and turned to walk towards the gate.


    “Wait!” Seeing her ready to leave, Herman suddenly called her.


    Andrea stopped, but didn’t look back.


    Looking at her back, Herman seemed a bit hesitant, but finally asked, “When did you start using that


    ringtone?”


    Hearing this question, Andrea’s gaze wavered slightly. The next moment, she chuckled, turned to look


    at Herman, “I heard this song in your car that day and thought it was nice, so I set it as my ringtone.


    The copyright of the song doesn’t belong to you, so even if you mind, I’m not nning to change it.”


    Hearing her say this, Herman’s face instantly became serious and he turned and went into the office.


    Andrea watched his figure disappear from view, stood quietly for a moment, then slowly turned and left.


    When Herman returned to the office, Leandro was about to leave with Seraphina.


    Just as they were about to leave, Lionel suddenly came out.


    “Mr. Reynolds, Lionel called to Leandro, “Mrs. Reynolds was frightened tonight, I’m very sorry. Can I


    exin what happened?”


    Hearing his words, Leandro didn’t look back at him, but turned to look at Seraphina who was standing


    next to him.


    Seraphina slightly lifted her chin and nced at him.


    “My wife is the victim,” Leandro slowly said, “I have no intention of epting any exnations.”


    Hearing his response, Seraphina gave a satisfied smile.


    iono “Mrs


    Lionel clenched his teeth secretly, once again approached Seraphina, “Mrs. Reynolds, can I exin to


    you?”


    At this point, Seraphina suddenly put on a scared look and shrunk back behind Leandro.


    Leandro immediately stepped forward to protect Seraphina.


    Séraphina was about to speak when the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened and Tania


    was brought out by the police. Tania, who had juste out, saw Seraphina and immediately rushed


    towards her, but was stopped by the police officer next to her. Tanja!” Teague followed closely behind,


    grabbed Tania and sternly said, “Stop making a scene!”


    Unlike her usual sweet and gentle appearance, Tania now looked disheveled, her eyes red and


    swollen, looking very haggard.


    She stared at Seraphina, her tears suddenly falling.


    Seraphina watched coldly, without any reaction.


    “Where’s Bowen?” Tania finally spoke up, her voice hoarse, “Tell me where he is, please, tell me—”


    Seraphina was suddenly filled with rage.


    Because when Tania asked this question, there was no anger, but full of sadness and sorrow, and her


    tone was begging humbly.


    “You’re chasing me and bumping into me just to know where Bowen is?” Seraphina asked.


    Mentioning Bowen, Tania was already crying uncontrobly, but she still kept asking Seraphina, “Tell


    me, please tell me…”


    “Mrs. Reynolds, you see, Tania is just young and impulsive, why make a big deal out of this?” Lionel


    quickly said.


    Seraphina ignored him and walked straight up to Tania.


    Tania looked at Seraphina with tear-filled eyes and a face full of hope.


    Seraphina only looked at her pitifully. “If you want to know his whereabouts to get back at him, I’d totally


    help you track him down.”


    Tania was instantly dumbfounded.


    Herman on the side couldn’t help but cough a little, signaling Seraphina to watch her mouth.


    “Too bad that’s not why you want to know.” Seraphina sighed, “So, I can’t help you.”


    With that, she turned around and walked away.


    Tania started to cry, holding her face in extreme sadness.


    Just as Seraphina left the office, her phone rang. She nced at the caller ID and picked up the call,


    “Mr. Gray.”


    “Sera.” Patrick’s voice came through the speaker, “I heard you had a little ident there, just checking


    in to make sure you’re okay.”


    Seraphina let out a small breath, “You’re not just worried about me, are you? You want to plead for your


    niece, don’t you?”


    Patrick paused slightly, “If you think that’s my intention, I wouldn’t deny it.”


    “Don’t you also despise the Martin family?” Seraphina couldn’t help but say.


    “Sera, Tania is my sister’s daughter.” Patrick said, “I care about her, but I’m not here begging for your


    forgiveness. I know your character well enough.”


    “Right.” Seraphina said, “So no matter whether you call or not, my decision won’t change. But thanks


    for your concern.


    Patrick chuckled helplessly, “Okay, as long as you’re fine.”


    After hanging up, Seraphina let out a breath, turned around, and saw Herman with a worried look.


    Herman gave her a look, and-only then did Seraphina notice Leandro standing next to her.


    Leandro’s eyes were deep. He watched her finish the call, then looked at her and ndly asked,


    “Ready to go home?”


    “Hold on.” Seraphina turned to Herman and the cop beside him, “Let’s drop it.”


    As soon as Seraphina’s words fell, Leandro’s gaze deepened even more.


    “Ms. Martin might have lost her mind because of love.” Seraphina said, “If I fuss about it, I’d look just as


    irrational.”


    The cop nodded, quickly turning around to handle the situation.


    Herman nced at Leandro’s back and whispered to Seraphina, “Are we really just letting it go?”


    “What else can we do?” Seraphina nced, towards the office, “An irrational woman who didn’t really


    cause any real harm.”


    Herman looked in Leandro’s direction again.


    Suddenly Seraphina remembered something and turned to Leandro, “Wait, she wrecked our car!”


    Leandro finally turned around and looked at her.


    Seraphina walked up to him, “Make them pay for it! At the highest rate! They better rece it with a


    new one! All the parts must be reced ording to the original standard, not a bit less!”

    Seeing her all fired up, Leandro finally cracked a smile, then grabbed her hand and got

    in


    the


    car.


    Both Conway and Valerio were asleep. Seraphina first tiptoed to check on Conway, then walked into


    Valerio’s room.


    There were tear stains on Valerio’s sleeping face, as if he was sad that he couldn’t wait for her.


    Seraphina gently touched his little face, tucked him in, turned off the light, and walked out.


    As soon as she entered the door, Leandro came over.


    “Which side do you want to sleep on?” Leandro asked.


    Seraphina replied, “Either is fine.”


    Then, Leandro took her hand and led her to his bedroom.


    Once in the bedroom and with the door closed, Seraphina walked to the wardrobe, opened the door


    and looked for her pajamas.


    Since they usually stayed in her room, the wardrobe space in this bedroom was limited. The maid had


    put Seraphina’s clothes on the top shelf


    Seraphina tiptoed to try to get her clothes, but she couldn’t reach it.


    Leandro came over and handed her a red silk nightgown.


    “I’m not used to wearing this one.” Seraphina said, “I’ll get something else.”


    As she was about to turn around and leave, Leandro stopped her.


    “If you’re notfortable wearing it, then don’t wear anything.” Leandro said.
