Chapter 232

Seraphina was planning some places to visit, places that Leandro knew very well.

Not because he’d been there, but because he’d seen them in countless photos and videos.

These were all photos and videos of Betty, which he’d watched repeatedly. Places Seraphina and Betty had once visited, he’d seen in the videos over and

over.

Despite these places being associated with Betty, Seraphina didnt shy away from them. However, she didn’t mention Betty either.

She was still grieving Betty’s passing.

Leandro knew, she hadn’t bounced back as easily as she’d hoped.

Seraphina understood why Leandro insisted on sticking around Velvetwood with her for a while

Just before bed, Seraphina glanced at the calendar and realized how fast time flew. She turned to Leandro, who was reading by the bed, “We’ve been away for nearly half a month. When are we heading back to Sunburst City?”

Tve got time Leandro answered

“But even if your company isn’t swamped, Valerio is starting school soon. Seraphina pointed out. “Doesn’t he need to get ready?”

“He likes it here.” Leandro responded, “A few more days wouldn’t hurt.”

Hearing that, Seraphina paused, then suddenly called out. “Leandro”

Leandro responded without lifting his eyes from his book.

Seraphina gave him a faint smile. “In a few days, lets go visit Betty”

Leandros hands paused mid-page flip. After a moment, he turned to her, his gaze intense.

“You’re waiting for March 4th, aren’t you? To pay her a visit?” Seraphina asked.

March 4th, the day Betty left this world.

Leandro didn’t deny it, “I want to visit her, with you!”
