Chapter 186

He must’ve just come back from outside.

Usually, he wouldn’t have to go outside to get from the garage to the house, but he was radiating freezing cold air that invaded Seraphina’s body through his thin clothing. Yet, when she touched his palm, she felt a burning heal.

His sudden appearance took Seraphina by surprise. Held tightly in his arms, she was caught between the two extreme temperatures, momentarily stunned.

She thought Leandro would say something, but he just held her without moving for a long time.

After seven years, he had become a man of few words, not because he didn’t want to speak but because many things were pointless to discuss.

All these things were useless and unnecessary to him.

Like apologies after regrets.

No words could make up for the irrevocable past and missed chances.

So Leandro didn’t say anything

He didn’t even make a sound, he just held her, his head buried in the crook of her neck, feeling her warmth and her breath.

Things had changed.

She was no longer the same as she was seven years ago.

After a while, Seraphina couldn’t help but move. Surprisingly, the moment she moved slightly, Leandro, who had been holding her tightly, let her go.
