Chapter 405

Seraphina had been standing on the dock for a long time.

The cruise ship in front of her was enormous. From the shore, each window on the ship was the size of a matchbox and the figures on board were barely visible.

Even if Sandra’s cabin faced this direction and even if Sandra stood on the balcony Seraphina might not have been able to see her. Yet, she remained standing there, unwilling to leave.

There were still two hours before the ship would depart. Keen, her butler, checked his wristwatch and approached Seraphina, whispering, “Madam, Ms. Smith will be taken care of once she’s on board. You don’t have to worry. Shall we go home?”

Seraphina slowly shook her head.

Keen paused before saying, “The ship is too big. You won’t be able to see her from here.”.

“I can’t see her, but she can see me,” Seraphina replied, “She will feel at ease knowing I’m here.”

Upon hearing this, Keen merely nodded and didn’t say anything else.

When the ship’s horn sounded two hours later, signaling its departure, the crowd on the shore began to wave goodbye. On the ship, figures could be seen waving

back.

But among those indistinct figures, was Sandra one of them?

As the ship slowly pulled away from the shore, Seraphina stood there for a moment longer before finally turning around and leaving the dock.

When Seraphina returned to the city, it was lunchtime. With no plans and nothing to do, she decided to buy some food and visit Andrea at her studio.

When she arrived, Andrea was busy drawing. Upon seeing Seraphina, she looked surprised, “What brings you here?”

Seraphina sat down across from Andrea and placed the food on the table, “I know you’ve been busy, so I brought some food to share lunch with you.” After clearing some space on her desk, Andrea opened the food that Seraphina brought. But when she saw what was inside, she looked at Seraphina hesitantly, “This is what you brought for lunch?”

A box of nuts, some prosciutto, and two bottles of red wine.

Seraphina glanced at the items she brought and teased Andrea, “I thought it was enough for us.”
