Chapter 227

Leandro and Keen arrived home together, Leandro still dressed in the black coat he’d left in that morning, clearly just back from work

He’d been working late hours for a while now, and Seraphina rarely asked about his schedule. Seeing him now, she couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, “It’s Christmas Eve today, hasn’t your company given you the day off yet? Keen, doesn’t your family celebrate Christmas?”

“Work’s more important.” Keen replied, then glanced at Leandro and headed upstairs.

Leandro stood by the sofa, looking at the casual clothes on Seraphina and Valerio, and said, “Go change.”

“Change for what?” Seraphina asked, “It’s Christmas tomorrow, where else are you planning to go?”

Leandro tilted his head slightly, looking at her, “What do you think?”

Christmas was a day for family gatherings, his implication was clear.

Seraphina, holding Valerio tightly, sat on the sofa, “Don’t joke around, Reynolds Vista Retreat is not for me and Valerio. The two of us would be more comfortable having a sandwich back than eating at Reynolds Vista Retreat. Isnt that right?”

Leandro didnt say much, just asked, “Would you go if grandpa asked you to?”

Hearing this, Seraphina froze in place, exchanging glances with Valerio, then finally sighed in resignation, “Well, if the elders say so, I guess I have to.” With that, she pushed Valerio ahead of her and they bath headed upstairs

Leandro stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching their retreating figures, his expression a touch heavy as he looked away

Just as Seraphina and Valerio got upstairs, they ran into Keen leaving Leandro’s study, a few files in his hand.

“Is there really that much work to do?” Seraphina couldn’t help but ask

Keen paused before replying. While we get to enjoy the holidays here, there’s always someone on duty in our overseas branches. Business cant stop.”

“He’s not overseas, he can’t be that busy” Seraphina retorted casually

“Mr. Reynolds has already planned his holiday at Starhaven, he’s leaving early tomorrow” Keen added, “You should know about this”
