Chapter 216

Leandro is always a man of his word. When Seraphina saw him fresh from a shower and answering a

call, she thought he had plans for the night. But before she knew it, he was already changing his

clothes, ready to head out.

Seraphina bumped into him on her way out of the study Seeing him all dressed up, she thought he was

about to take her out for a wild night out and couldn’t help but take a step back, asking. “Where are you

off to?”

Leandro glanced at her and replied, “I need to swing by Reynolds Vista Retreat.”

Wait, he’s going to Reynolds Vista Retreat at this time?

“What’s up?” Seraphina asked, puzzled.

Leandro was nonchalant, simply responding. “What else could it be?”

From his response, the situation became clear

There wasn’t much going on at Reynolds Vista Retreat except for Bruce Reynolds and Gloria’s

constant fights. But what exactly was this fight about?

It must be something big if even Leandro was disturbed this late

Seraphina followed Leandro downstairs, hoping to get some information. But Leandro didn’t seem to

want to share anything, just telling her to go to bed early before heading out

Not being familiar with the people at Reynolds Vista Retreat, Seraphina turned to Karan, who worked at

Reynolds Manor, hoping she could get some info on what was happening.

However, the news she got kept her up for most of the night.

It involved Magdalen

When Leandro and Seraphina got married, Magdalen knew she wasn’t exactly the Reynolds family’s

favorite, so she only embraced the newlyweds before Seraphina left for the church. That was her

version of a send-off. She was nowhere to be seen during the rest of the wedding. So, Gloria, not

thrilled but kept her cool during the wedding

However, that night, Gloria spotted Bruce having dinner with Magdalen.

Details about what happened at the restaurant remained a mystery. All the servants knew was that

Bruce came home injured. From their post-dinner argument, it seemed Gloria had thrown down at the

restaurant, and Bruce got hurt while trying to protect Magdalen.

After their spat, Bruce stormed out, and Gloria popped a handful of sleeping pills,

Luckily, there were plenty of people at Reynolds Vista Retreat, so the consequences of Gloria’s

overdose shouldn’t be too bad. But the whole ordeal was

a real nail biter

Seraphina spent half the night convincing herself that this mess had nothing to do with her and that

there was no need to lose sleep over it. Eventually. she drifted off to dreamland.

Leandro didn’t come back to Reynolds Manor that night

The next morning, Seraphina woke up early. She checked her phone-no messages.

At this point, no news could be good news. Seraphina didn’t show much concern or ask Leandro

anything. After breakfast, she went about her day as usual, heading back to Carney Artful Reverie.

She didn’t sleep well the previous night and was not in good state of mind. So, when she saw Patrick

again in the gallery, it took her a second to react

Patrick flashed a friendly smile, “Ever since I visited your father’s exhibition, I’ve been missing those

paintings. My favorite two are sold out. I guess I’ll just pick another one as a consolation”

“I thought you were here to hustle me into making a decision,” Seraphina replied with a chuckle.

Patrick quirked an eyebrow, “Kill two birds with one stone, not a bad idea”

Seraphina didnt respond.

Patrick seemed to realize something, “Wait. Are you about to give me some bad news?”

“I’m afraid I’m going to let you down,” she said, “Although the offer you made is very tempting, I have

other options”

Patrick paused for a moment before letting out a resigned laugh, “Honestly, I didn’t expect this. I came

here full of anticipation, ready to set a date… even brought you a gift”

His last sentence was loaded with intrigue. Seraphina could tell, but her curiosity got the better of her,

“What’s the gift?”

“A case.”
