Chapter 193
Seraphina instinctively tried to pull het hand away, but Leandro held it tight, not allowing her to retreat.
They held each other close, his arms wrapped around her tightly
After a while, Seraphina suddenly let out a soft laugh. “Leandro, you trust me because of my past innocence. But I’m not that Seraphina anymore”
Their bodies pressed together, and Seraphina felt Leandro shift slightly.
Even though he didn’t say anything. Seraphina continued, “You know what I’m like now. I can’t go back to my past. I’m not for you” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Leandro still didn’t say anything. He just turned his head, looked deeply into her eyes for a moment, and then kissed her again..
He was always so dominant, but now he seemed gentler, whether due to illness or some other reason. After several tentative moments, he finally kissed her passionately
His kiss left her a bit dazed, as if she had been transported back to the past.
Those intimate moments in the past that made her heart race and flushed her cheeks, he was always like that. He liked to tease her, kissing her lightly again and again, until she was blushing and flustered, then he would kiss her passionately.
Back then, he controlled her breath, and she was completely led by him, at his mercy
But now… Seraphina suddenly opened her mouth and bit his tongue.
Leandro let her go in pain, looking down at her deeply, their breaths intertwined.”
Seraphina just glanced at him. “See, I told you I’m not who I used to be.”
Leandro watched her quietly for a while, then leaned in again.
This time, Seraphina resisted strongly from the start, but he seemed not to mind. The more she resisted, the tighter he held her.
Just as they were in a stalemate, they heard a servant outside the door. “Mr. Reynolds? It’s time for your medication… Mr. Reynolds?”
Clearly the servant was looking for him at the study or his bedroom door, but couldn’t find him.
Then they heard Conway’s voice. “What’s going on?”
“Leandro hasn’t left the house.” The servant’s puzzled voice came. “But there’s no one in the bedroom or the study…”
Upon hearing this, Conway said, “Check Valerio’s room.
Then, Conway himself headed toward Seraphina’s room.
Hearing Conway’s footsteps and the sound of his cane, Seraphina hastily pushed Leandro away
Leandro’s gaze was deep, just staring at her until the footsteps came to the door. Only then did he let go of Seraphina.
Conway knocked on the half–open door, then saw the two of them standing face to face, both breathing heavily.
Seraphina quickly wiped the corner of her mouth and turned to look at Conway standing in the doorway. “Grandpa.”
Conway glanced at her, then turned to Leandro.
Leandro was standing with his back to Conway.
Conway walked in, hitting Leandro’s leg with his cane. The servant called you for your medication, didn’t you hear?”
Leandro glanced at Seraphina, then turned and left her room.
Conway frowned slightly, and not until Leandro left did he turn to Seraphina again, his expression serious. “Did he bully you? Tell me, I’ll go give him a
lesson”
Seraphina looked at Conway’s face.
The seriousness on his face was very obvious, and Seraphina clearly saw a hint of excitement in his slightly widened eyes.
“He’s your favorite grandson, can you really do that?” Seraphina asked blankly.
*Just tell me, and I’ll break his legs myself!” Conway said.
Seraphina sat down on the bed, answering irritably, “Grandpa, tone down that exaggerated act. You can’t outdo me in that department.”
Hearing this, Conway couldn’t help but laugh. He sat down beside the bed, looked at Seraphina for a while, then slowly asked, “Aren’t you angry?”
Seraphina didn’t look at him, and after a while, she answered thoughtfully, “I don’t know.”
Conway asked again, “What did you two talk about? Did you mention the past?”
Seraphina still didn’t answer, only lying down on the bed saying, “I need to rest.”
Hearing this, Conway sighed helplessly. “Alright.”
He got up slowly and left without closing the door for Seraphina. She clearly heard him leave and got up immediately to close the door. As she was about to do so, she suddenly remembered something and left her room.
She didn’t expect to hear Conway and the servant chatting when she got to Conway’s room.
The servant asked Conway, “Was Leandro in Sera’s room? Aren’t they still angry at each other? What’s going on? Is the wedding still happening?”
Conway couldn’t help but laugh, “As long as Sera gradually accepts Leandro, it means things are moving in the right direction”
The servant asked, “But has she accepted him? She always acts like nothing’s wrong… It’s hard to read that girl.
Hearing this, Conway simply sald, “She will accept him, she definitely will…”
Seraphina stood silently for a while, then turned and went downstairs.
She went to the storeroom, found the spare keys, took her room’s key, then returned upstairs and firmly closed the door.
In Conway’s room, both he and the servant heard the sound. The servant couldn’t help but say, “Is she still angry?”
It’s good if she’s angry” Conway said with a smile. “The worst thing is that she shows no emotions. It’s good to see her getting mad.”
By the time Leandro had finished his meds and done a few routine checks, the door to Seraphina’s room was already locked up light.
He hung around for a bit before finally heading back to his own room.
The very next morning, Seraphina left home and didn’t return until dinner time.
The family was sitting around the dinner table, Leandro included, but Seraphina played it like she didn’t notice him, claiming she already ate, then headed upstairs and locked her door tight.
The same thing happened for the next two days.
By the fourth day, Leandro was feeling a lot better and went back to work.
Seraphina spent the whole day gallivanting around town like usual, not getting back until dusk.
But, when she got home, the place was eerily quiet. No Conway, no Valerio, not even the servants.
Seraphina was a bit puzzled and planned to head back to her room to give Conway a call.
She got to her door and fished out her keys to unlock it, but no matter how much she twisted and turned, the door wouldn’t budge.
Right then and there, Seraphina realized what was going on someone had changed her door lock!
As soon as she realized this, she whipped around and sure enough, there was Leandro standing not too far away.
