Chapter 84

Hearing Seraphina’s words, Leandro lowered his head to light up a cigarette.

“Blocking a knife for you?” Conway suddenly burst out in anger, “Don’t you remember who got you in danger in the first place? You’re touched just because he look a knife for you? Where’s your sense? Where’s your principle?”

Leandro was lighting his cigarette with his left hand. Hearing Conway’s words seemed to hurt him a bit. He frowned, switching the lighter to his right hand

Seeing Conway’s fiery temper, Seraphina quickly tried to calm him down: “Grandpa, don’t get too worked up. I know I messed up… I really do…”

Conway was panting heavily With Seraphina’s help, he sat down before continuing, “I don’t care about anything else, but if you’re going to be with Balch, I can’t support that! He’s a playboy, not a good man!”

At this point, Seraphina didn’t dare to talk back, so she played along. She sat on the floor leaning against her grandpa’s leg, her chin resting on his knee, a mix of appeasement and coquettishness “I get it, Grandpa. I know what kind of person Balch is. You don’t need to worry, okay?”

Conway was still angry and huffed, “Cut him off, got it?”

Just then, Seraphina’s phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw Balch’s name, picking up the call and reassuring her grandpa at the same time: “Got it, got it, I’ll cut him off right away!”

Hearing her words, Balch on the other end of the phone asked quietly, “Cut off what?”

Seraphina didn’t dare to talk on the phone in front of Conway, so she turned and walked out.

Leandro, sitting on the couch by the door, watched her leave, flicking his cigarette ash off with no expression on his face.

“I’m comforting someone else.” Seraphina glanced at Leandro as she walked out of the room, answering Balch’s question.

Hearing that, Balch was silent for a while before finally saying. I’ve put a lot of pressure on you, haven’t I?”

Seraphina leaned against the wall, not saying a word.

“I know you’re feeling lost right now,” Balch said after a long pause. “But there’s something… I need your help with…”
