Chapter 365
Upon hearing Leandro’s words, Teague didn’t seem to grasp anything, but Lionel had already subtly glanced at
Bowen.
Simon seemed to not react, but there was a tiny shift in his gaze.
Bowen quickly burst into laughter, “Since my parents died early, Sandra is my only family. As her brother, it’s my
duty to take care of her. Unfortunately, I always feel like I’m not doing a good job…”
After finishing. Bowen raised his glass, gestured a toast to Leandro, and then chugged his glass with a smile.
Leandro was fiddling with his own glass, but didn’t drink, he just said, “At least in Sandra’s eyes, you’re the best. I
think that’s enough for her.”
Upon hearing this, Bowen smiled again, but his eyes became solemn.
Leandro didn’t seem to notice, and turned to chat with Simon about other things.
In the middle of the meal, the phone Leandro had left with Keen suddenly rang. Keen glanced at it and quickly
handed it to Leandro, “It’s Valerio.”
After hearing this, Leandro took the phone, excused himself, and then walked outside.
Watching this, Simon laughed, “It’s rare these days to see a man taking calls from his wife and children at dinner.”
Hearing this, Keen gave a faint smile, “After all, they are in two different places, they must miss him a lot.”
Upon hearing this, Bowen also laughed, turned to Simon and said, “Mr. Reynolds is a man of great loyalty, especially
when it comes to his own family.”
Upon hearing this, Simon just said, “That’s good.”
After the meal, Leandro left first, and then Simon also left without any expression.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at the direction where Leandro’s car was leaving, Teague couldn’t help but curse, “That arrogant bastard!”
Lionel looked at him, then at Bowen next to him, and left without a word.
Bowen lit a cigarette, head down, saying nothing.
Teague turned to him, “Are you coming with me?”
“No, thanks Bowen answered with a smile, “I still have some things to take care of
Teague nodded, ready to get in the car, but turned back and said, “Go home early, don’t keep Tania waiting.”
Bowen gave a small smile, nodded, and then helped him close the car door.
After everyone had left, Bowen’s car came over and his assistant got out to open the door for him.
Once in the car, the smile on Bowen’s face disappeared.
Bowen’s assistant, Hammer, noticed this and asked softly, “Has Leandro reached a resolution with the Martin
Group?”
After a while, Bowen sneered and said, “Resolution? They really think Simon is a pushover?”
Hammer said, “Simon may seem mild and rational, but he’s vengeful, and his style is usually tough. Leandro has
pushed the Martin Group to this point, he won’t let Leandro and the Reynolds Group off easily.”
After exhaling a puff of smoke, Bowen said coldly, “As long as he remembers this grudge, that’s enough.”
After driving a long distance, Bowen realized that the car was heading to the apartment he shared with Tania
Martin.
He abruptly put out his cigarette, “Go to the south of the city.”
Upon hearing this, Hammer exchanged a glance with the driver, but eventually, the car quickly turned and headed
south.
When Leandro returned to Reynolds Vista Retreat, the lights were brightly lit.
Two more cars were parked in the parking lot, obviously some people had returned.
Leandro didn’t think much of it, but bumped into Karan as soon as he entered the front door. Karan said to him,
“Guess who’s back?”
Upon hearing this, Leandro’s heart raced. But when he turned to look at the hall, his heart rate quickly returned to
normal.
In the hall, Ferne Reynolds was originally chatting with Conway, holding his hand. The moment she saw Leandro,
her facial expression changed slightly, she then stood up and walked slowly towards Leandro.
“Leandro,” she said softly, “I heard your mother’s not well, so I came back to see her.
Leandro looked at her deeply, then glanced at Conway sitting in the living room, and gave a cold response.
Ferne had been sent to the Bahamas by him, and she had sneaked back on her own this time, so she was feeling
quite uneasy. Seeing Leandro’s response, she laughed, “I bought lots of local specialties, grandpa loves them. You
should try them too.”
“No need, Leandre-replied, “I’m going to take a shower upstairs.”
After saying that, he went straight upstairs, Karan followed him.
Once they reached the second floor, Karan finally said, “You thought it was Seraphina who came back, didn’t you?”
Leandro glanced at her without saying a word.
In fact, he knew very well that Seraphina wouldn’t come back, but there was a sliver of hope in his heart.
As expected, there were no miracles.
Seeing this, Karan sighed and said, “You know the moment she comes back, the matter about your mother and
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVivían won’t be able to stay hidden, yet you still hope she’ll come back…”
Upon hearing this, Leandro turned to look at her, “So what? Should I hope she never comes back?”
Hearing this, Karan opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
She’s been Leandro’s nanny since the start, sticking by him and Valerio even after they moved out of the Reynolds’
household.
She saw every bit of Leandro’s transformation from a happy-go-lucky kid to a cold and ruthless man, and witnessed
first-hand how different he was around Seraphina after she returned to Sunburst City.
Leandro’s never been good at showing his feelings, but Karan treated him like her own son, so she felt it – the
change in Leandro’s icy demeanor and his withdrawal after he got hitched to Seraphina.
No one knew better than her just how much Seraphina meant to Leandro.
And the current situation? Yeah, he was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Karan didn’t say anything more, and Leandro headed straight back to his room.
After he showered, he first checked in on a sleeping Gloria before heading back to his own room. He whipped out
his phone and projected the security camera in the
Velvetwood room onto the big screen.
Seraphina was home.
In reality, she was one of those people who could be both lively and quiet. When she was in her lively mode, no
house could contain her; when she settled down, she seemed capable of staying indoors for weeks.
Ever since she moved to Velvetwood, she seemed to prefer staying in, rarely going out, and spending most of her
time pacing around her room.
At the moment, she was sitting on the couch, tutoring Valerio who was sitting on the floor.
Leandro was lying in bed, silently watching the almost silent scene.
He guessed she knew.
She knew that he was here, watching her.
