Chapter 228
Hearing Leandro’s words, a rush of heat swept over Seraphina, her cheeks turning a bright red.
Had she been staring at him all night?
How had she not noticed?
Struggling to find the right words, she muttered, 1 didn’t…
Truth be told, he’d been very busy recently, often not coming home for extended periods. Up until today, she hadn’t seen him for thirteen days. So what was so strange about her watching him all night?
But how was she supposed to explain this kind of bashful behavior?
She lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching his waistband.
Leandro looked down at her rosy cheeks and simply said. “You really cant lie”
Seraphina quickly lifted her head to refute him, but before she could say a word, he kissed her
All night, Leandro had been flustered by her wandering gaze. Now, he no longer had to restrain himself.
He didn’t move an inch, simply pulling her close right there in the door
Leaning against the door, Seraphina was flushed and weak. She could only cling to his arm to keep herself upright.
But she felt too hot, way too hot.
Feeling both embarrassed and scared, her frail body couldn’t handle this kind of pressure, especially with him pressing against her…
Her body went limp, her grip loosening as she helplessly fell against the door.
Leandro quickly caught her by the waist, pulling her into his arms and pressing her against the door
Seraphina’s body was scorching hot, biting her lip, she felt like she was about to lose control
“Leandro?”
Just then, there was a sudden knack on the door, followed by Gloria’s puzzled voice, “What are you doing?”
Seraphina immediately tensed up.
Their commotion must’ve been loud enough for Gloria to hear!
Overwhelmed with anxiety, Seraphina almost fainted She looked at Leandro, but he only responded by kissing her again, ignoring whoever was outside
the door.
“Leandro?” Gloria called again, and the doorknob jiggled.
Seeing this out of the corner of her eye, Seraphina was on high alert
Leandro abruptly stopped, letting out a soft grunt..
The world seemed to fall silent, their heavy breathing the only sound in the air.
But the doorknob was still jiggling…
Someone had unintentionally locked the door, leaving whoever was outside unable to get in.
Realizing this, Seraphina felt a wave of relief wash over her. Her strength left her and she once again collapsed into his arms. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Leandro looked at her frightened face, a smile tugging at his lips as he kissed her neck.
Gloria’s voice continued from outside, clearly growing anxious. “Leandro, whats going on? Are you okay? Answer me”
Finally, Leandro lifted his head and slowly responded, “I’m fine, just had a bit too much to drink and nearly slipped after my shower-”
Clutching him tightly and remaining silent, Seraphina was blushing like a boiled shrimp.
After dinner, Seraphina lind Valerio were watching TV on the couch
The others didn’t seem too interested in the program. They gathered around Leandro in the dining room, discussing current events. Leandro was always busy Even when they met at the office, they mostly discussed work. So they didn’t have much time to chat and bond like this.
Everyone was huddled around Leandro, laughing and joking. Leandro would occasionally respond, seeming to fit right in
However, he wasn’t really paying attention to their conversation His focus was on Seraphina and Valerio, who were on the couch.
The TV program was pretty much the same every year, nothing new or exciting, but Seraphina was engrossed, occasionally bursting into laughter.
After about half an hour, Leandro finally got up and joined them on the couch
Seraphina was watching TV, Valerio was sitting on the carpet at her feet, peeling various nuts while watching. He peeled, she ate. It seemed a bit pitiful, but Valerio seemed to be enjoying himself
Leandro was used to their dynamic, so he didn’t say anything. He just sat down next to Seraphina.
Seraphina glanced at him. “What are you doing here? Go chat with them”
“I wanted to take a break. Leandro said, watching the TV with a blank expression.
Seraphina frowned, “If you wanted to rest, you could ve gone to your room. Now that you’re here, they Il come too and I won’t be able to watch TV in peace.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the others indeed came over, making the previously quiet seating area lively
Seraphina looked at Leandro with some annoyance.
Leandro didn’t look too pleased either and didn’t engage in conversation with the others
Both of them sat among the lively group, engrossed in the TV, sticking out like sore thumbs.
It wasn’t until Keen came to pick up Leandro that the awkward scene was broken.
Since his schedule was already arranged, he had to leave.
Leandro went upstairs to check on Gloria. When he came back down, Seraphing was still on the couch, laughing uncontrollably at a comedy show,
“Sera” Nanette was the first to call her, “Leandro’s leaving, and you’re still over there watching TV?”
Seraphina turned to look and sure enough, everyone was gathered at the door, waiting to see Leandro off
She sprang up immediately, sprinted over there, and threw herself into Leandro’s arms, giving him a peck on the cheek in front of everyone. “Have a smooth journey, don’t work too hard, remember to miss me, and don’t forget to bring back gifts
Leandro cast her a deep look, didn’t say anything, and turned around to leave.
For the first three days after arriving in Moonhaven, Leandro’s schedule was jam packed. He was out and about from the crack of dawn, only returning late into the night.
By the fourth day, his schedule finally eased up a bit, and he got off work early, which was a rare occurrence.
Leandro didnt have any leisure activities. All these years in Moonhaven, his life had always been well ordered, and this time was no exception.
The driver headed straight for the apartment. Leandro watched the streetscape recede through the car window, his face impassive as ever.
The sidewalks were bustling with pedestrians, among whom there were no shortage of compatriots who hore a resemblance to him, making these foreign streets feel a little less alien.
However…
Among the crowd, a woman in a white coat was briskly walking with a child, laughing as they went
Leandro’s gaze instantly sharpened.
