Chapter 194
After resting at home for three days, Leandro just returned to the office today. Given his work habits, he usually worked late into the night.
Seraphina was caught totally off guard. She didn’t expect he’d come home so early, or that Conway and Valerio were not at home, let alone that the lock. of her room would be changed by him

“Where’s grandpa?” Seraphina asked.
“He’s at the hospital for a check–up.”
“And Valerio?”

Glancing at the clock, it was almost seven. It was surprising that Conway would have a check–up at the hospital this late, and that Valerio, a kid who hasn’t even started school, would have an after–school activity that ran so late.
“So..” Seraphina touched her door, “where’s my key?”
A key appeared in Leandro’s hand, spinning skillfully between his fingers, as if to lure her over.
Seraphina walked over to him and reached out to take the key.
Leandro didn’t give her a hard time and let her take it easily.
Holding the little key in her hand, Seraphina smiled and said, “This doesn’t seem like your style.”
“Using such childish tactics to avoid me doesn’t seem like your style either,” Leandro retorted.
Seraphina tilted her head slightly to look at him, “Have you finally accepted that I’m not the old Seraphina?”
Leandro’s eyes suddenly deepened. He took a step forward while Seraphina stepped back, until she hit the wall.
Reaching out, Leandro gently cradled her face.
