Chapter 278
Seraphina has always kept her cool when dealing with Keeley, even knowing that he was the one whoput Sandra in danger. She was furious, but she didn’t lash out at him directly.
Even more, she admired his lifestyle.
Keeley knew she was a clever and cunning woman. Although he didn’t fully trust her words, he couldn’tresist her carefully laid traps.
Even if these traps weren’t exactly gentle.
But it was only now that Keeley really saw the real Seraphina.
This woman, she’s probably hated him for a long time, right?
Surprisingly, Keeley didn’t lose his temper. He just looked at her quietly and after a while, he said, “Sowhat are you? A vengeful goddess coming after us murderers?”
Seraphina stopped smiling, stared at him, and slowly said, “Everyone has to pay for their actions,right?”

Keeley laughed lightly, nodded, and then asked, “Would we be like this if Sandra hadn’t had thataccident?”
Upon hearing this, Seraphina’s smile faded slightly, her eyebrows slightly raised.
She didn’t evade Keeley’s question, “You guys should know better than anyone about what you’vedone?”
Keeley looked at her for a while, then nodded.
He understood what Seraphina meant.
The thing with Sandra was just the fuse, she had always wanted to investigate them!
“So, from the moment we met, you’ve been playing a game?”
Seraphina laughed, “Don’t forget, you were the one who approached me first. You just happened to bethere at the right time.”
Keeley laughed too.
Yeah, he’d almost forgotten, he was the one who was attracted to her and approached her first.Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had such an easy time finding out about the people and things aroundhim, and things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.
“So now you’ve achieved your goal.” Keeley said, “We won’t have to see each other again, right?”
After he finished, Keeley didn’t look at her again and picked up his luggage to leave.
But Seraphina stopped him again, “Mervin is dead, haven’t you heard?”
“So what?” Keeley answered.
Seraphina started laughing, “Don’t tell me you don’t know who did it, leaving the hospital without anyworries, aren’t you afraid that you’ll be the next one to die?”
“If I die, isn’t that exactly what you want?” Keeley said, “That way, you can avenge your
Seraphina shook her head, “You know you’re not my target.”
“You think I’d still believe that?”
After saying this, Keeley pushed Seraphina away and walked out the door.
friend.”
“Don’t expect to get any information from me.” Keeley said to Seraphina, “I won’t betray anyone, even ifthe consequence is death.”
After saying this, Keeley turned and left the ward.
Seraphina casually walked out of the ward, watching his retreating figure with a calm gaze.
In the evening, Seraphina prepared a dinner at home and invited Herman Garcia and Terrell.
Terrell was a family-oriented man, and Herman happened to have a new case to handle, so neither ofthem showed up at the appointed time.
When Leandro returned home, he saw Seraphina learning how to make beef pie with Valerio, theirexpressions lively.novelbin
However, this so-called learning was actually just learning the simplest step – how to wrap the piecrust, instead of learning how to knead the dough, mince the filling, mix the filling, and roll out the piecrust.
Conway sat by, feeling a bit helpless. He said to Seraphina, “Can’t you take this more seriously? Ahome with someone who can cook feels a lot happier.”
“I’m too busy!” Seraphina said helplessly, then saw Leandro who had just entered, “And, there’s notonly me in this house, why don’t you make your grandson learn? It’s modern times now, you can’t stillhold onto the idea of men making money and women doing the chores, can you?”
Conway couldn’t refute her and could only sigh in frustration.
Seraphina cheerfully waved to Leandro, “Grandpa says there should be someone in the house whocan cook, so he wants you to learn!”
Leandro walked over, glanced at the messy table that Seraphina and Valerio had messed up, anddidn’t respond to Seraphina, but asked, “Why do you have so much time today?”
“Because I have guests coming. As a host, I need to do the preparation myself, otherwise Karan will betoo tired.” Seraphina said.
Hearing this, Leandro ignored her words and after giving her a glance, he turned and went upstairs.
He naturally knew who Seraphina’s guests were today, but he didn’t have any particular emotion.
Compared to their previous busy days, it was already good that they could stay at home together atsuch an early time.
When Leandro came down in his home clothes, Seraphina had already asked Conway and Valerio tostart eating, while she continued to wait for her late guests.
Seeing Leandro coming downstairs, she asked him, “Do you want to eat first, or wait with me?”
Leandro looked at her and simply said, “I’ll wait for Herman.”
Hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but snort, “He actually has time to inform you that he’s coming fordinner, he should rather hurry up and finish his work first, he’s so unreliable! Yet I’m here preparingbeef pies for them!”
After that, she went into the kitchen to wash her hands.
Seeing her going into the kitchen, Conway immediately put down his fork and said to Valerio, “Valerio,let’s go upstairs to eat.”
Valerio looked at him, seeming a bit confused.
Conway gave a nod towards Leandro, “Give your folks some space, will ya?”
Valerio pouted a bit, he was dissatisfied.
Seraphina had come home early today, and he wanted to hang out with her a bit longer!
But how could a shy kid like him possibly stand up to Conway? Conway quickly dragged him upstairs,while he was still holding the plate with the beef pie, looking rather reluctant.
Leandro sat on the couch, leisurely watching the news, as if he hadn’t heard anything.
After getting flour all over her hands, the stickiness proved difficult to wash off. It took Seraphinaseveral minutes to wash them clean. When she dried her hands and came out of the kitchen, thegrandfather-grandson duo was already gone from the dining table.
“Whoa, they finished eating already?” Seraphina asked while walking towards Leandro.
Leandro was scrolling on his tablet, and when he heard her, he just hummed in response.
As Seraphina walked over, his tablet happened to be on the page reporting Mervin’s death.
As soon as Seraphina saw it, she immediately went over, “Let me take a look.”
Leandro didn’t make any moves. His tablet was taken away by Seraphina, and a warmth settled intohis arms, as Seraphina snuggled into his embrace with the tablet.
