Chapter 129
Hearing that, Seraphina suddenly threw her blanket off and looked at him.
“Gift?” She was still lying on her back, staring at him with confusion. “What do you mean by that? Do
you mean it’s a gift for me to meet you?”
After saying this, she couldn’t help but laugh mockingly, “It’s such a precious gift I get. To spend the
night in such a prime location, in such a nice room, this might be the best gift of my life!”
After saying this, she pulled the blanket over her head again, rolled over, and sprawled out over the
entire bed.
Leandro was probably pissed off by her. Seraphina didn’t hear him say anything for a while, and then
she heard footsteps leaving the bedroom.
Seraphina relaxed a bit, lifting the blanket to let in some air.
Even though she had taken medicine, she didn’t start to feel sleepy until two hours later. As she drifted
off to sleep, she glanced at the time it was 3 am, and Leandro was still up, he must be really busy.
When Seraphina woke up the next morning, Leandro was already gone from the apartment.
She put on her robe, tidied up her hair, and the doorbell rang.
She went and opened the door to find a woman in a uniform standing outside. Judging by her uniform,
she was also a stewardess of the apartment. But the steward from last night was a man, and today it
was her.
“Good morning, Miss. I’m Laura, your stewardess. The woman smiled at her, “What would you like to
eat this morning, Ms.
Bennett?”
“No need.” Seraphina said, “I’m about to leave, I don’t need to eat.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing this, Laura seemed a bit surprised and said: “How could that be? Mr. Reynolds said you were
sick and needed to rest and eat light food.”
Seraphina laughed and answered her: “My being sick is none of Mr. Reynolds‘ business. You can go
now, you don’t need to take
care of me anymore.”
Hearing this, Laura seemed a bit embarrassed, but left the room anyway.
Humming a tune, Seraphina returned to the bedroom and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
While she was freshening up, her phone rang. She didn’t pay attention and continued to freshen up.
After washing her face and putting on a face mask, she went to check her phone.
It was a missed call from Keen. Seraphina didn’t care and was about to put down the phone when it
rang again. This time it was Leandro calling.
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh. Did Leandro think she was deliberately not answering Keen’s call,
so he called himself? When did he become so proactive?
As she was applying her face mask, Seraphina answered the phone, “Hello?”
There was a pause on the other end of the line before Leandro finally spoke: “What are you doing?”
“Packing my things, getting ready to go home.” Seraphina replied, “Or am I supposed to stay here at
Mr. Reynolds‘ place?”
“You’re sick, you should rest more.” Leandro said, “Don’t worry about those trivial things anymore, just
tell Laura if you need anything*
After Leandro hung up, Seraphina held the phone, still a bit stunned. Suddenly she touched the mask
on her face and realized – Leandro had heard from her muffled voice that she was applying a face
mask, and a woman who had the leisure to apply a face mask wouldn’t really be getting ready to leave,
right?
Chiding herself for her carelessness, Seraphina threw her phone aside and lay on the bed.
When Laura came into the room again, she unceremoniously ordered what she wanted to eat. After
eating her fill and taking her medicine under Laura’s watchful smile, she finally felt relaxed.
Seraphina asked Laura for a laptop and spent the whole afternoon focusing on her own work.
In the evening, Leandro didn’t return home until almost midnight.
After taking her medicine and sleeping for a while, Seraphina woke up and saw Leandro, fresh from the
shower and in his pajamas, standing by the bed.
She covered half of her face with the blanket and watched Leandro warily.
Seeing her eyes, Leandro slowly said, “I’m not interested in sick people.”
Seraphina snorted and turned her back on him.
Leandro quickly lay down on the other side of the bed. Seraphina had already slept and was very
awake now. She just kept her eyes closed, listening to his movements.
Leandro got into bed and quickly turned off the lights, seemingly ready to sleep.
However, after a long time, Seraphina didn’t hear his steady breathing, which meant Leandro was still
awake.
Seraphina couldn’t help recalling that she hadn’t shared a bed with him many times, and every time he
left after she fell asleep. first. She seemed to have never seen him truly asleep.
Maybe this was what he was like when he was asleep?
Thinking this, Seraphina suddenly rolled over and quietly moved closer to him.
The room was pitch black, not even a night light was left on. Seraphina’s eyes couldn’t adjust to the
darkness, and she tried hard to see Leandro’s face but couldn’t.
“Have you seen enough?” Leandro suddenly asked coldly.
Seraphina was startled and lay back on the bed, clutching her chest, complaining, “You scared me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLeandro was speechless.
She had been staring at him in the middle of the night, her face close to his without making a sound,
and he ended up scaring her. She was so good at twisting the truth!
After a while, Seraphina heard his breathing still steady, so she asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
“I really want to sleep.” Leandro replied.
Hearing this, Seraphina moved closer to him, until she was almost lying on his arm, and then she put
his arm under her head and said, “I really want to sleep too.”
In fact, sleeping on each other’s arms is not very comfortable for both of them. Seraphina knew this,
and Leandro would too.
Leandro was originally lying flat, letting Seraphina sleep next to him. But with her moving around on his
arm, he seemed to reach the end of his patience. But instead of pushing her away, he rolled over,
facing the same direction as her, and gently encircled her
waist.
That got Seraphina to chill the heck out for a bit.
But after a long time, Seraphina still couldn’t hear any sign of Leandro’s breathing that would indicate
he was asleep.
“Leandro,” she suddenly called out to him in the darkness.
It took a while before Leandro responded to her in a low voice.
“Why?” she asked.
The question was out of the blue, but Leandro knew exactly what she was asking.
She probably always thought that he was only interested in her body. If he didn’t want to sleep with her,
why would he go through
all this trouble?
As if to prove her point, Seraphina suddenly reached into his robe.
Leandro immediately grabbed her hand, but Seraphina just laughed, “You sure you don’t want to?”
“I don’t want you to pass out on your bed in the middle of our sex.” Leandro said. “So you’d better be
quiet.”
