Conway lifted his hand and gently touched Seraphina’s nose and eyes, then said, “Stop your crying,you silly girl
Just for a moment, Seraphina’s tears seemed about to fall, but she held them back. She closed hereyes, and when she opened them again, her tears had
stopped
I’m fine now” Seraphina looked at Conway “As long as you’re healthy, I wouldn’t cry”
Conway gave a small smile “Alright, Ill stay healthy”
Hearing this, Seraphina buried her head in Conway’s arm again, staying silent.
Conway watched her, then lifted his head to look at Leandro, who was sitting at the foot of the bed.
Leandro’s gaze remained fixed on Seraphina, cold as ice.
Seeing this, Conway said. “Go wash your face You’ve been crying so much, your makeup is all overthe place”
Seraphina lifted her head to look at Conway, touched her face, then got up and left the room.
Conway turned to Leandro, But found that Leandro’s gaze was still fixed on Seraphina.
Conway sighed inwardly, then said, “Come here”
Leandro tore his gaze away from Seraphina, looked at Conway, then walked over and sat down by thebed. “What do you want to say?”
“I want to know what you’re thinking”
“Grandpa, what are you referring to? Leandro countered.
Conway sighed slowly, then said, “I don’t have much time left, you can’t make me spend the rest of itworrying about you”
Leandro looked at Conway quietly, not saying a word.
*Just now… you saw how Sera was acting. Conway sighed again. “Do you still have doubts? Shemight have changed, but she’s still Seraphina. A person’s nature doesn’t change.”
“How do you know I have doubts?” Leandro spoke slowly.
“If you didn’t have doubts, why are you guys still stuck in the same place with your personality?”Conway asked. “Even if she has truly changed, no matter what she becomes, you have to accept her,understand her. Because if it weren’t for you insisting on her leaving, she wouldn’t be like this now. Shehas lost everything. I don’t want to be her only reliance… knowing that you will take good care of hereven after I am gone, will put me at ease.”
Leandro looked at Conway calmly “You just want me to make my stance clear, so why use such wordsto pressure me? You know I won’t be influenced by such words”
Hearing this, Conway gave him a helpless look
Not long after, Seraphina returned to the room, obviously having freshened up, looking like her usualself.
Conway looked at Leandro again. “go tell the driver to get the car ready. I want to have a few wordsalone with Sera, then you guys can go home and
rest.”
Leandro got up to leave, but stopped at the door. He said to Conway, “I’ve let Lacy go. I’ve alreadyfound a new secretary and caregiver to take care of you. If there are any issues, they’ll call me directly”
Upon hearing this, Conway furrowed his brow. “Why did you let Lacy go? My fall was my own fault, nothis.”
“Because he didn’t fulfill his duties,” Leandro said. “You don’t need to worry about these things: I’ll takecare of everything.”
Conway couldn’t counter his decision, nor did he have the energy to say much else. He just closed hiseyes and said, “Alright, you can go now.”
Leandro got up again, his gaze falling on Seraphina. But she didn’t look at him, instead she walkedover to the bed and looked at Conway “Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?”
Leandro turned and left the room.
Conway watched Leandro’s retreating figure, then sighed and reached out to grasp Seraphina’s hand.“Can you promise me something?”
Seraphina had calmed her emotions and her thoughts were clear. Upon hearing this, she immediatelybecame alert and asked, “promise you what?”
good
“Can you take good care of Leandro and Valerio?”
Seraphina gave a light laugh and said, “That’s something I can’t do.”
“But I only trust you to do this”
Seraphina sighed with a smile, then said, “How about this, I’ll help Valerio find his mother, and let hisbiological mother do this. That should be most appropriate, right?”
Conway stared at her, “Can’t you just consider yourself as Valerio’s mother?”
Seraphina, with a smile on her face, answered: “No.”
Conway suddenly started coughing Seraphina was startled and tightly held his hand, soothing his chestto comfort him, “Grandpa, don’t get agitated, take it easy
After a while, Conway calmed down, then said: “Leandro has been under the pressure of the Reynoldsfamily for years, he’s become cold. Ever since! handed the Reynolds family business to him, I’ve neverseen him smile… Sometimes, I wonder, was it the right decision to give him the Reynolds familybusiness?”
Chapter 153
7 think he quite enjoys this life, Seraphina replied. “So, you don’t need to blame yourself
Conway looked at her and slowly shook his head
Seraphina obviously didn’t want to continue the conversation and said, “Grandpa, let’s not talk aboutthis anymore. When you’re better, Ill take you out for a walk.”
If we don’t talk about it now, when will we?” Conway asked if I were to die tomorrow, what will happento your futures-”
Seraphina quickly covered Conway’s mouth, not letting him continue.
Conway pushed her hand away, then slowly said, “I hope you can take care of Leandro, and I hope hecan take care of you… You two are the people i worry about the most, and the ones I trust the most…
I’m old, I just want to see you two live well…”
“Enough, grandpa, if you keep on yapping, I won’t bother visiting you anymore,” Seraphina threatened,pinching his hand, clearly fed up with his ramblings
Seeing this, Conway couldn’t help but heave another sigh.
Seraphina, oblivious to his sigh, leaned against his hand once more, nestling quietly by his side, notuttering a word.
“Alright, it’s late now. Since you don’t want to listen to my words, better head home soon… Conwaysuggested, patting Seraphina’s head gently
“No, I’m not leaving, Seraphina insisted, “I want to stay here with you”
“Nighttime is for sleeping. Conway reasoned, “What’s the point in staying with me? You’re all sweaty,go home, take a shower, get a good night’s sleep.
and come see me tomorrow”
Seraphina just sat there in silence
“Listen to me” Conway said, “Tim exhausted today. I need a good sleep. You should go.”
Seraphina remained silent for a while longer before finally standing up, “Alright then, you rest well. I’llcome back tomorrow”
At the door, she saw Leandro’s secretary and nurse coming in to look after Conway Only then did shefeel relieved enough to leave.
As she descended the stairs, Leandro’s car was already waiting outside. The driver standing by, readyto open the door for her.
Since they were all heading to the same building, Seraphina didn’t hesitate and hopped right in.
Leandro was in the back seat, eyes closed, resting
Seraphina didn’t disturb him, she pulled out her phone instead, replying to Sandra’s messages.
Not long after they left the hospital, Leandro suddenly opened his eyes, instructed the driver to head tothe Reynolds Group.
The driver complied, Seraphina looked up, wanting to say something, but stopped herself, choosing tojust watch him silently.
The entire ride was silent
When they arrived at the Reynolds Group building, the driver opened the door for Leandro. Leandro,however, turned to Seraphina before getting out, “Getnovelbin
out.”
Seraphina turned to him, “Is there something I need to take care of?”
Leandro didn’t answer her, simply got out of the car.
Seraphina thought for a moment, then decided to follow him out and up to the 26th floor.
The 26th floor was eerily quiet, with no one working overtime. Seraphina followed Leandro directly intohis office.
Leandro sat behind his desk, opened the drawer on the left, and pulled out two documents
Seraphina recognized the documents at a glance
She sat across from him, arms crossed, watching him silently..
Leandro flipped to the last page of each document, signed his name next to hers, which she hadsigned a few days earlier.
Then, he slid one of them across the desk to her.
Seraphina looked down and saw the words “prenuptial agreement.”
She couldn’t help but laugh, “What’s all this about?” she asked.
“Our marriage,” Leandro replied.
Seraphina looked at him as if she was watching a comedy, her face filled with amusement. “Us two?Really?”
“There aren’t many things or people I care about, Leandro said, “I believe it’s the same for you.”
“All that just for that reason, you’re willing to compromise?” Seraphina tilted her head, “Or, do you stillhave feelings for me, so you’re just going with the Пlow?”
Her slightly raised eyebrow and smile made it seem like she was acting, but Leandro knew she wasn’t.
That was one of the reasons why she could act so convincingly because she was good at readingpeople. When she acted, it was hard to tell what was real and what wasn’t. Sometimes her genuineemotions took center stage, concealing the key part, the act.
“Regardless of the reason, what do you have to worry about?” Leandro asked. “You don’t even careabout your own life, and you are even willing to use your own body when you have to.”
At this. Seraphina burst out laughing “It’s my body. I have the right to decide how to use it. And as forwho I sleep with, isn’t that something everyone does? I enjoyed it too, I didn’t lose out. But that was
when I was willing to play your games. I don’t want to play anymore, I won’t grant your wish… It’s assimple as that”
