Chapter 400
Seraphina knew her words from the night before had an impact on Leandro.
But did Leandro misunderstand something?
She had said what she did to encourage him to spend more time with Valerio, but he seemed to have taken it as a
reason to be jealous?
Moreover, since he had rented the entire amusement park, effectively keeping out the general public, there was no
need for Abbot to be constantly on guard for her and Valerio. Why then, did he have to pull Abbot away?
This man’s jealousy can be petty, even more so than a woman.
Soon, more than half of the twenty classmates in Valerio’s class had arrived. The kids, who usually play together
every day, were overjoyed to meet in the amusement park. The shrill screams of excitement were piercing the sky.
“Mrs. Reynolds, didn’t Mr. Reynolds come?” A guest asked Seraphina. “Mr. Reynolds specially invited us, so we
thought he would be here.”
“Mr. Reynolds…” Seraphina trailed off, wondering how to respond, when suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she
spotted a familiar figure.
Leandro, dressed in black slacks and a white shirt, looked as formal as he did on any other day, but lack of a tie and
suit jacket. For him, this was casual enough.
Seeing him walk over, Seraphina looked away.
The guest immediately went up to greet him. “Mr. Reynolds, hello.”
Leandro exchanged pleasantries with him.
Valerio and his friends were running around nearby, when they suddenly spotted Leandro. Valerio, delighted,
rushed over and threw himself into Leandro’s arms, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeandro ruffled his hair, then glanced at the friends waiting for him. “Go play first. Your mom and I will come find
you later.”
Valerio nodded happily, ran over to hug Seraphina, and then ran off.
Then, Leandro sat down next to Seraphina..
Seraphina sipped her drink and gave him a sidelong glance. “Mr. Reynolds, aren’t you very busy? How did you find
the time to come?”.
“Of course, I had to finish my work first before I could come.” Leandro said.
Seraphina huffed and said, “Could you at least show some sincerity and change your outfit before coming? Just
taking off your jacket and tie doesn’t mean you’re dressed for a day out. You’re not sincere at all.”
“If I had come any later, who knows what stories would have been made up.” Leandro glanced at her. “So, I had to
prioritize.”
Seraphina was about to retort when another guest with a camera approached. “Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, can we take
a photo?”
“Sure.” Seraphina quickly agreed, then effortlessly leaned into Leandro’s embrace and posed for the camera..
Leandro looked at her, then reached out to wrap his arm around her waist and looked at the camera.
Over the years, he had rarely faced the camera so casually.
Most of the time, he was the aloof and low-key CEO of the Reynolds Group, hidden from the public eye. On the rare
occasions when he had to face the media and the public, he was serious and reserved.
But today, facing an ordinary camera, Leandro had a slight smile on his face.
The guest took several shots, then exclaimed as she looked through the photos, “Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds are truly a
match made in heaven… such a lovely couple.”
She showed them the photos she had taken.
Seraphina took the camera and looked at the photos, then looked at Leandro in surprise. “You were smiling just
now?”
Leandro, sitting back in his chair, merely raised an eyebrow in response.
Seraphina looked at the photos several times before returning the camera to the guest, praising her for the good
shots.
“You two are so beautiful, any photo would look good.” The guest said. “I’ll send you the photos after I’ve sorted
them out.”
After a brief chat, the guest went off to take more photos of the kids, leaving Seraphina and Leandro alone again.
Seraphina felt something was off.
In the past couple of years, there had been occasional photos of Leandro in the media, but in all of them, he never
smiled.
So when Seraphina saw the photo of him smiling, she was taken aback.
She held back her questions for a while, then suddenly took out her phone. “Since we’re here, let’s take a selfie.”
As she spoke, she leaned into Leandro and opened the camera.
On the phone screen, Leandro’s expression was neutral, no obvious smile on his face,
Seraphina studied his face on the screen for a moment, then sighed softly. “So, you were smiling just now, not
because of me, but because of that guest, right? She’s quite to your taste, right? Gentle and refined, just your
type–”
Before she could finish, Leandro suddenly leaned forward and kissed her on the corner of her lips.
Caught off guard, Seraphina’s hand holding the phone shook.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a click, the camera captured the moment.
Before Seraphina could recover, Leandro had taken her phone and was looking at the photo she had accidentally
taken.
In the photo, she was making a funny face at the camera, while he was kissing her lips.
Incredibly, the photo was clear, with no blur.
“Not bad.” Leandro commented, sending the photo to his own phone.
Seraphina took back her phone and continued to tease him. “Why don’t you post it on your social media?”
Leandro looked at her and said slowly, “Why not?”
“You can do it then.” Seraphina crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows, challenging him.
The very next moment, she saw Leandro pull out his iPhone, select a photo, and ready it for upload to Twitter.
“Wait!” Seeing him about to actually do it, Seraphina quickly reached over to snatch his phone, hurriedly deleting
the photo he was about to tweet.
Only then did she hand the phone back to Leandro. “Would I post an unedited photo for the world to see?”
Leandro remained silent for a moment before asking, “Just because the photo isn’t edited?”
“What else?” Seraphina snorted, retorting.
Leandro didn’t respond.
But he could anticipate the repercussions of such a tweet.
His Twitter account had amassed a large following ever since he posted a handwritten letter a while back. If this
photo went out, it would undoubtedly trigger a wave of comments.
Once the reactions started pouring in, everyone in their circles would likely know about it.
And that included Gloria.
Given Gloria’s current state, she might not be able to handle such a shock.
He wasn’t sure if Seraphina had considered this, but he had a hunch that this was the reason.
