Chapter 207
The cold water in the fridge was all gone, and Seraphina, after a moment’s thought, decided to drop
some ice cubes into a glass, fill it with water, and give it to Leandro.
She went upstairs with the glass, her heart full of anticipation.
Sure, it was just a glass of water, but to her, it was a sign of her growing connection with him.
The day had the feel of a teenage fantasy-fleeting but enchanting, even if it might have been an illusion
Yet, as Seraphina re-entered her room with a glass of water, that gentle reverie dissolved There, at her
desk, sat Leandro, thumbing through her textbooks. Panic surged within her. She rushed over, setting
the glass down precariously while trying to reclaim her book
Caught off guard, Leandro released the textbook. But in that hurried motion, the glass teetered, then
tipped, spilling cold water directly onto him.
“Oops!” Seraphina immediately started scrambling, dropping the textbook onto the floor and bending
down to dry Leandro off, picking out ice cubes from his clothes.
Most of the water had spilled on Leandro’s pants, but in her panic, she didn’t notice and went straight to
clean up his pants.
By the time she realized what she was doing, Leandro had grabbed her wrist.
This was, without a doubt, pretty awkward
Seraphina blushed so hard that het ears turned red. She lowered her gaze, took a moment to compose
herself, then looking at the toppled glass, she bit her lip and said, I’ll go get you another glass of water
Even though the air conditioning was on, the room somehow felt heated.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeandro cleared his throat, trying to keep his composure.
Seraphina quickly picked up the glass and went to refill it, while Leandro turned his attention back to
the textbook she had just snatched from him.
What could possibly be in it that had her so on edge?
Curiosity getting the better of him, Leandro reached out and picked up the textbook again.
Seraphina, standing at the door, glanced back to see Leandro holding the textbook again
Before her mind had a chance to react, her body was already racing back towards him,
Seeing her like this, Leandro leaned back in his chair, clutching the textbook.
But Seraphina, throwing caution to the wind, lunged at the textbook –
“Thud!”
Leandro toppled over with his chair, and Seraphina, who had thrown herself at him, fell with him.
As they hit the floor, the cover of the textbook in Leandro’s hand flipped open-
The first page revealed a portrait: short hair, a white shirt, deep-set eyes, and a familiar, smiling face
Both Seraphina and Leandro simultaneously looked at the drawing. While he was taken aback, she felt
as if her world had paused.
The secret was now unmistakable
Frozen, Seraphina couldn’t react. Leandro took a moment to compare the portrait to her before locking
eyes with her. Her flushed face pévealed her vulnerability and surprise.
He had always sensed her affection but brushed it off as a fleeting crush. Yet now, that same girl was
close to him, radiating a tender shyness.
His hand was casually resting on her body, the heat from her body slowly seeping into his.
Leandro thought he must be drunk.
He felt the heat from her body seep into his, and the dryness in his throat returned.
Looking at the blushing girl in front of him, his mind suddenly flashed with inappropriate images.
By the time he realised what he was thinking, his brain was telling him to push her away, but he found
himself gripping her wrist tighter,
“Are you always this hot?” he asked in a low voice
Seraphina looked lost and confused, her breath quickening as she met his gaze, unable to form a
response.
She was eye’shaking a little
Leandro’s hand settled on her waist, drawing her closer. “What are you afraid of?” he whispered.
Seraphina’s eyelids fluttered shut Fear wasnt the right word, she felt a mix of exhilaration, anticipation,
and nerves. She had never imagined this moment – Iser feelings exposed to him, especially when she
felt so caught off guard. The uncertainty of his reaction weighed on her, and her heart raced in
response
The warmth of Leandro’s hand was a comforting contrast to her nervous coolness. An overwhelming
rush of emotions made her feel as if she was burning up. When she opened her eyes, she hesitated
briefly before leaning in pressing her bps to his
It was an impulsive move, unplanned and without forethought. It began gently, just the tender touch of
lips. But the soft press quickly deepened into a Tervent embrace. Though inexperienced, she let herself
be guided by Leandro’s assertiveness.

there was no denying that their relationship had shifted profoundly…..
The next day, Leandro personally drove her to school.
Last night, he seemed to have been influenced by alcohol, losing control, while she, dazed and
confused, hadnt come to her senses till now.
Both of them overslept in the morning She didn’t have breakfast and rushed out of the house. By the
time she got to school, she was late. So he parked the car by the side of the road and suggested that
she grab something to eat before heading to school.
She picked a fast food joint that she often went to.
Leandro sat with her in the restaurant.
Class time had long passed, and the whole street was pretty much deserted. The restaurant was about
as empty as a ghost town, except for the two of
them.
The owner had known Seraphina for quite some time now, but his eyes couldn’t help but linger on
Leandro, who didn’t quite fit the mold of a student nor a
parent.
After all, a guy as dashing as Leandro was a sight unseen in this little joint.
When the waitress brought the breakfast over, Seraphina dove into her meal while Leandro didn’t touch
his. He just lit up a cigarette and watched her in silence
By the time Leandro finished his smoke, Seraphina had barely made a dent in her meal
At this point, Leandro finally broke the silence and asked. “Did you get scared yesterday?”
Seraphina took a sip of her Coke in silence before finally looking up at him and saying, “Nope.”
The intensity and resolve in her gaze caught him off guard
After staring at her for a moment, Leandro suddenly burst into laughter
