Chapter 45

Although she had a hunch, Seraphina was still taken aback by Valeno’s sudden appearance. The fact that he came alone, without anyone with him, was a real shocker “How did you get here?” Seraphina squatted down to ask Valeno “Where’s your family?”

Valero didn’t answer, just kept staring at her

So, left with no other option, Seraphina took Valerio into the house

Upon entering the room, they found Conway seated comfortably on the sofa Valerio’s eyes widened in surprise as they darted first to Conway and then to Seraphina. Conway mirrored his gaze, first looking at Valerio, then turning his attention to Seraphina

After a moment, both Valerio and Conway found seals on separate sofas flanking Seraphina, observing her while she was engrossed in a phone call

Conway casually took a sip of water from the cup in front of him and said, “He came to find you. Besides, before he met you, he never did anything like this, so you should be the one to discipline him”

Seraphina bit her lip and laughed. “That’s not my job If you’re not going to discipline him, then if he gets lost, that’s a problem for the Reynolds family”

“The Reynolds family? Conway repeated.

“Grandpa, although I see you as my own grandpa, I’m not a part of the Reynolds family after all!”

Conway sneered and furrowed his brows
