Chapter 242

Seraphina stayed in the restaurant until it closed, not even bothering to eat much. She then went to a nearby shop to grab some cold dishes before driving herself home.

By the time she got home, it was late into the night. The house was dimly lit, with everyone seemingly already in bed.

Seraphina took off her coat at the door and stepped into the living room, only to be startled by the sight of a figure sitting on the sofa. She nearly dropped her handbag in shock.

Leandro was sitting on the sofa, his long legs crossed, looking every bit the gentleman. Even though his posture was normal, under the light, his facial expression was somewhat blurred.

Even though Seraphina couldn’t make out his expression clearly, she could sense the heavy atmosphere in the room.

It was clear that Leandro was waiting for her, sitting there at such a late hour.

Tossing her handbag aside, Seraphina walked over and sat down on Leandro’s lap, snuggling into his chest.

“Leandro, I’ve had a rough day…” She wrapped her arms around his neck, resting her head on his shoulder weakly. “I got stood up! I thought he was just a bit quirky, maybe testing how serious I was, so I just sat there like a fool until the place closed! I didn’t even eat anything waiting for him! I waited for him like an idiot for four hours! I’m so pissed off…”

Leandro just sat there quietly. Despite the intimate interaction, he didn’t even lift a hand to help Seraphina, instead responding nonchalantly. “Is that so?”

After crying a bit, Seraphina seemed to remember something. She looked at him and asked, “Are you mad at me?”

Leandro’s face was stern, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

“I know I stood you up too, I didn’t mean to!” Seraphina continued to whine. “God knows how much I wanted to go to that concert with you. It’s all that painter’s fault! He’s so disrespectful!”

Leandro still didn’t respond, and after staring at him for a while, Seraphina leaned back into his chest, starting to unbutton his shirt. “Was the concert good?”

Leandro looked down at her hands.

As Seraphina asked, she continued to unbutton his shirt.
