Chapter 191

Seraphina gol herself a glass of water, didn’t go upstairs right away, but just sat downstairs sipping it

slowly.

After a while, Keen came downstairs again, darted out the door, looked like he was fetching some

papers from the car, and then bolted upstairs with a few documents

By the time Seraphina finished her water, Keen came down again, with worry all over his face

Seraphina didn’t plan to pay him any mind and was about to head upstairs when Keen called out to her,

“Ms. Bennett ”

Seraphina paused, turning to look at him.

“Ms. Bennett, could you please talk to Mr. Reynolds?‘ Keen said, “You heard what the doctor said today

too, he really can’t overwork himself anymore…

“Why are you telling me this? Seraphina found it slightly amusing, “If you stop delivering documents to

his home, I’d like to see how he’s gonna work.”

Keen’s face reddened slightly. “1… I have no choice, and there’s so much happening in the company,

those papers won’t pass without Mr. Reynolds, and

work can’t go on…”

Is your big company really that dependent on him?” Seraphina asked, “Isn’t there anyone else who can

share some of the workload?”

“Everyone carries their own load at work, Keen replied, “But Mr. Reynolds always takes the reins on

important projects”

Seraphina scoffed, “Just say you don’t trust anyone else, don’t sugarcoat it.”

“Can you please talk to him?” Keen said, “At this rate, his health will collapse.”

“Why do you think I can persuade him?” Seraphina asked, “Don’t you know what kind of person your

boss is?”

Keen quietly looked at Seraphina for a moment, then replied, “It’s just… a feeling. If there’s anyone in

this world who can talk sense into Mr. Reynolds, it’s you, Ms. Bennett.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “it’s easy for you to say, isn’t it?”

“You’re usually so confident.” Keen said, “Why are you doubting yourself all of a sudden?”

Seraphina glanced at him, “Even an honest person like you uses sneaky tactics to convince others?

Too bad they don’t work on me.”

She didn’t waste any more words on him, turned around, went upstairs, and straight into her room,

slamming the door shut behind her.

That night, it was almost dawn when Leandro finally left his study

He was about to go back to his room when he suddenly turned his head, looking towards Seraphina’s

room at the other end of the corridor.

The door was tightly closed, no light seeping through the gap, she should still be asleep at this time

according to her habits.

Leandro turned back and went into his room.

The next morning, when Seraphina came downstairs, she heard Conway asking a servant about

Leandro’s condition.

The servant seemed to have instructions from Leandro, and replied, “He’s doing great, came home

earlier than before, he’s definitely resting well.”

Conway didn’t seem convinced, “When I got up this morning and passed the study, there were quite a

few cigarette butts in the ashtray!”

The servant hurriedly said, “That must have been from before. I’ll go clean it up right away.”

After the servant left to go upstairs, Seraphina passed by her, admiring the servant’s quick thinking.

When she had finished breakfast with Conway and was going back upstairs, she suddenly heard a

noise from the study, like something had fallen on the

floor

Seraphina went to check and saw that it was only the servant in the study, who seemed to be tidying up

the desk and had accidentally knocked something over.

Seraphina didn’t think much of it and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a metal box in the

servant’s hand..

She stopped, then walked in.

The servant heard her footsteps, turned back to see her, and sighed in relief, “I was tidying the desk

and accidentally knocked this box off

Seraphina went over and heard the servant say, “I didn’t originally put it here”

Only then did Seraphina get a good look at the box. It was an old–fashioned metal box, with two

flowers on the lid. The paint had peeled off due to its age, and it looked very old.

“Where was it originally? Seraphina asked.

The servant pointed to a cabinet under the desk, “It was there. Mr. Reynolds probably took it out to look

at it.”

Seraphina reached out, and the servant handed her the box.

She held the box, weighed it lightly, and felt a familiar weight.

Leandro stayed at home as instructed by Conway, staying in his room all day, and only went downstairs

for dinner with everyone in the evening.

Everyone was at the dinner table. Valerio looked very happy, but the three adults all had heavy hearts,

making the whole dinner very quiet.

After dinner, Seraphina went upstairs, leaving the task of tutoring Valerio to Leandro

Luckily, tutoring Valerio was not strenuous, Leandro took it as a rest.

What’s up with Sera today?” Conway was puzzled, “She barely said anything during dinner, she

seemed much better ye! again.

Leandro was silent for a moment, and replied, “I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Conway looked at him and sighed

When Valerio fell asleep, Leandro entered the study and realized why Seraphina had been so quiet.

The metal box that was originally in his study was gone.

Seraphina locked her room door, got up from her bed when she heard a knock, opened the door, and

saw Leandro standing there

Whether it was because he was sick or in a bad mood, the oppressive aura he usually had around her

had lessened recently, but now, it seemed to be

back

“Give me my stuff back” Leandro said.

Seraphina asked casually. What stuff?”

Leandro glanced at her, then his gaze fell on her dressing table in the room – the metal box sat there

quietly.

Leandro was about to walk in, but Seraphina body blocked him. She glanced back in the direction he

was looking, then turned back to him, her eyes brimming with challenge, “If I remember correctly, that’s

my stuff. I should decide what to do with it.”

“You wouldn’t dare,” Leandro said.

Why wouldn’t I?” Seraphina retorted. “Seven years ago, I had the guts to bury it. Seven years later, I’ve

got even more determination to burn everything inside!

At her words, Leandro’s eyes instantly darkened, and he grabbed her wrist. Despite being sick, his

strength was still formidable enough to control her. Pulling her along, he strode into the room, walked

up to the dressing table, and yanked open the lid of the metal box.

Inside the box, various sized portraits remained intact.

Each and every one of them was his portrait.

Leandro quietly gazed at them for a while, then let go of Seraphina and closed the box again.

Standing behind him, Seraphina gently rubbed her wrist, then let out a soft chuckle. “Do you care?” she

asked.
