Chapter 250
Seraphina was lying in bed when she heard it, and for a moment, she looked lost, as if she was in a dream.
Leandro said he missed her.
In dreams of a long time ago, she had imagined this scenario countless times.
In her dreams, she started off laughing, then crying. When she woke up, her pillow was always soaked.
At this moment, if it wasn’t for the soreness all over her body reminding her to stay awake, she might have truly doubted whether she was dreaming again.
Seraphina lay still for a long while before attempting to turn over.
But the man on top of her didn’t budge, as if he had no intention of letting her turn.
Seraphina could only turn her neck, observing the man behind her from the corner of her eye.
“What do you miss about me?” she asked
Leandro looked at her silently for a moment, then lowered his head to kiss her ear and neck.
He didn’t let her see him, nor did he allow himself to make eye contact with her.
A long time later, he whispered in reply, “Everything”
After a moment of silence, Seraphina chuckled lightly.
She thought, Leandro must be telling the truth.
Because no one understands this feeling better than she does.
What does it feel like to miss someone to the extreme?
It’s when this person is not by your side, but it feels like they’re everywhere.
She would see him when she walked, when she drove, even when she ate.
Those who looked like him, or didn’t look like him, could all morph into his image in her eyes.
He wasn’t in this city, but she could see him in every corner of the city
Every moment all the time.
This state of near obsession and madness lingered during the darkest time of her life.
Seraphina once thought that no one could be as foolish as her
Looking back at that time, she found it ridiculous and laughable.
But it turns out she wasn’t the only one tormented by this ridiculous state?
The person she missed so desperately would also be somewhere in the world, feeling the same longing?
For a moment, both she and Leandro fell silent.
The long-lost feelings, once voiced, seemed light but weighed heavily.
Regrets only bring sadness, the past cannot be relived. What else could he do other than seizing the present?
Thinking of this, Leandro finally turned Seraphina around, pulling her close again.
Looking into each other’s eyes, her gaze lacked its usual mischief and playfulness, and instead, seemed unusually calm. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Leandro was momentarily stunned
Seraphina suddenly reached out, gently caressing his eyebrows and eyes.
“Leandro, if you had said this back then, things would have turned out differently, wouldn’t they?”
Leandro froze at her words
Seraphina also paused after asking.
In truth, she knew her question was pointless. How could the Leandro back then have acted so irrationally?
If he hadn’t let her go so decisively, if he hadn’t shut himself off completely for seven years, the Reynolds Group wouldn’t have been
revived, and he wouldn’t have achieved his current social status.
But that’s life, there are no what-ifs.
“Forget it.” Seraphina came back to reality, smiling slightly, “Let’s not talk about the past anymore.”
As she spoke, Leandro suddenly grabbed her hand, bringing it to his lips.
Seraphina watched him silently as Leandro lowered his head, softly kissed her palm, and slowly said, “We still have a future.”
Seraphina hesitated for a moment before responding. “Then forgive yourself first.”
Hearing this, Leandro looked deeply into her eyes.
“Let’s talk about the future when you can get a good night’s sleep,” Seraphina said, turning over to sleep.
Leandro pulled her back into his arms, positioning Seraphina near his chest.
“Are you sure you can sleep like this?” Seraphina asked.
Leandro didn’t respond, just tightened his grip on her hand.
So. Seraphina stopped talking and closed her eyes.
Leandro reached out to switch off the light, and in the darkness, he held Seraphina tightly.
That night, Seraphina had a good sleep, but she wasn’t sure if Leandro did too..
After all, he’s the type of person who always keeps a straight face, revealing no signs of fatigue even after two days of no sleep.
But Seraphina could feel that Leandro seemed a bit different.
For example, he… kissed her before leaving the house.
It happened at breakfast, Valerio was still eating, the nanny was cleaning up the dishes, and she had just come downstairs when he was about to leave.
This was normal, but he suddenly reached out to hold her, bending down to give her a quick kiss.
At that moment, it was as if time had stopped, with Valerio and the servants all watching them.
