Chapter 269

When Leandro and Seraphina returned to Reynolds Manor, the living room lights were still on.

Seraphina had been quiet all along, letting Leandro lead her out of the car and into the living room.

In the living room, Valerio and Conway were sitting by the dining table, their heads close together,

discussing something.

When they saw Leandro and Seraphina enter, Valerio’s eyes lit up. He quickly jumped off his chair, ran

to Seraphina, and reached out to grab her hand.

Seraphina came back to her senses, looked at him, then at Conway, “You’re back.”

“Yes.” Conway answered, “I’m old, I like to stay in this house.”

Seraphina then pinched Valerio’s face, “What about you? Why are you still up so late?”

Valerio led Seraphina towards the kitchen.

The kitchen counter was covered in flour, and Valerio opened the fridge door, taking out a small plate.

On the plate were a dozen or so raw egg tarts.

Seraphina paused, bent over to look at him, “Did you make these?”

Valerio nodded proudly.

Conway also came to the kitchen door, saying, “He learned how to make egg tarts from school today.

He wanted to make some for you when he got home, but you came back so late, he almost fell asleep

waiting.”

Valerio pouted, looking at Seraphina expectantly.

Seraphina reached out and touched his head, “I’ve had a lot of alcohol today and the wind was cold.

could use some dessert. You’re so thoughtful.”

Valerio smiled shyly and happily, then handed the egg tarts to the maid.

“I’ll do it.” Seraphina stopped him, taking the egg tarts.

“You?” The maid looked at her doubtfully, “Can you cook?”

Seraphina sighed, “I can’t do complicated stuff, but just baking some egg tarts should be no problem,

right?”

“Let her do it.” Conway said, “If she makes them well, I want to try one.”

“You wish!” Seraphina said, “With your health, you can only have a bite. I can make you a sugar-free,

fat-free version some other day.”

They chatted and laughed. When Leandro came downstairs after changing his clothes, Seraphina was

ready to bake the egg tarts under the maid’s guidance..

Valerio watched from the side, while Conway returned to the living room with Leandro.

“How’s Seraphina’s mood?” Conway asked.

“She seems okay on the surface.” Leandro answered.

Conway sighed softly, saying, “They’re all poor kids.”

“Don’t worry.” Leandro said, “I know she’s hurting inside and might do something impulsive. I’ll take

care of her and won’t let anything happen to her.”

Conway nodded.

Soon, Seraphina brought the egg tarts out of the kitchen.

Seraphina distributed the egg tarts to everyone, then hugged Valerio saying, “This is our first

collaboration. You all must eat them all!”

Conway looked down at his plate, which only had half an egg tart core.

“I really want to eat them all, but someone won’t let me.” Conway said, suddenly seeing Leandro’s plate

and suggesting, “Leandro doesn’t like dessert, I can help him with his.”

Seraphina glared at him, “You can’t!”

Conway had already reached out for the egg tart, but was stopped by Leandro.

Leandro looked at him and said leisurely, “I can finish it.”

So under everyone’s gaze, Leandro, who usually didn’t eat much dessert, slowly finished his egg tart.

Conway huffed unhappily and could only reach for skimmed milk to drink.

The room hadn’t been this lively in a long time. Everyone gathered around the dining table, eating and

chatting. The topics were mostly

about Conway and Valerio, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

It wasn’t until 2 a.m. that Seraphina finally sent Conway and Valerio to bed.

After settling Valerio, she suddenly remembered she had something to say to Conway.

But when she got to Conway’s room, Seraphina suddenly stopped, thought for a while, then turned

towards Leandro’s room.

Just as she reached his door, it opened.

Leandro stood behind the door in his pajamas, apparently preparing to go to her room.

But seeing Seraphina at his door, he wasn’t too surprised. He paused for a moment and then asked,

“Are you sleeping here tonight?”

“If you don’t mind, I don’t care.” Seraphina answered.

So Leandro reached out, pulled Seraphina into the room, and closed the door.

Just as Seraphina entered the room and before she had a chance to speak, Leandro asked, “Do you

have something to tell me?”

Seraphina turned to look at him, “Is it that obvious?”

“What do you think?” Leandro retorted.

So Seraphina didn’t hesitate anymore and reached out to him, “I need to borrow some money.”

Leandro didn’t ask her how much, just asked, “What are you going to do?”

“I need to hire someone.” Seraphina said, “Something that’s not dangerous.”

“Okay.” Leandro answered.

Seraphina suddenly laughed, came up to him and said, “See, I told you I wouldn’t be polite when I

needed something.”

With that, she tiptoed and kissed him, then went into the bathroom.

Leandro watched her back, said nothing, just picked up his phone and sent a message to Keen,

When Seraphina came out of the bathroom, Leandro was leaning against the headboard reading.

She didn’t feel like doing anything else and just grabbed her phone to reach out to someone as soon as

she got to the side of her bed.

But when her phone screen lit up, what popped up was a notification about a change in her bank

account balance.

Seraphina couldn’t help but squint her eyes and started counting the zeros on the screen.

After counting thrice, she finally got the total and couldn’t help but look up at Leandro, waving her

phone,” Aren’t you… being too generous?”

“As long as it’s a problem that money can solve, it’s not a problem,” Leandro said.

“Only rich people would say that,” Seraphina commented, taking another glance at her bank account

balance, “But I guess I can prétend to be rich now. Leandro, you can’t use money to blind me and

make me lose myself.”

Leandro fell silent for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly said, “If money can solve all your

unhappiness, I’m willing to spend all of mine.”

Seraphina paused for a moment before saying, “Most of the time, I’m quite happy. It’s not that hard, so

I don’t need… I don’t need you to spend all your money.
