Chapter 172
Their romp in the sheets tonight wasn’t too wild. By the end. Seraphina felt tired but still somewhat alert
Leandro was still on top of her. Panting slightly, Seraphina said, “If you’re not up for another round, could you get off?
Leandro gave her a silent look, then finally moved off her body
Seraphina sat up, grabbed a robe to throw on, and headed for the bathroom
When she emerged from the bathroom, Leandro had also donned a robe Seeing her come out, he told her, Tm heading to the study”
“Sure thing. Seraphina replied nonchalantly, not giving it rnuch thought as she got back in bed
Without another word, Leandro opened the door and left
Before long Seraphina fell asleep. But her sleep was restless, and she woke up in a daze, the room still pitch–dark
In the bed she was alone Seraphina picked up her phone to check the time It was four in the morning
Was Leandro still working?
Seraphina was a bit puzzled but didn’t think too much of it. She was thirsty, so she got up, opened the door, and went to find some water
As she passed the study, she noticed there was no light seeping under the door. In other words, the study was completely dark
Was Leandro not there, or had he fallen asleep in the study?
Seraphina thought back carefully and realized that he hadn’t shared the bed with her last night
She went downstairs to get some water. As she passed the study again on her way back up, she was a bit curious and thought about checking the study. but decided against it and went straight back to her bedroom.
Her sleep wasn’t very peaceful. Around six in the morning, she was startled awake by the sound of the door opening
Opening her eyes, she saw Leandro walk in wearing his robe.
He was still wearing last night’s robe, which meant he hadn’t been out. But he hadn’t come back to the room all night, and the study was dark, so he must have been sleeping in the study or some other room
This realization piqued Seraphinas curiosity, so she stayed in bed watching him
As usual, Leandro was calm and collected He glanced at her, “Awake so early?”
“I didn’t sleep well, Seraphina replied. “I was mentally prepared to sleep with someone else, but the bed was empty I didn’t know if something was in there, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I got..”
Leandro gave her a look and replied with only one sentence, “After I finished work, I slept in the study”
Seraphina sat up suddenly, staring at him, “If that’s the case, then we should sleep in separate rooms. It doesn’t really affect anything
“Do you really think so?” Leandro countered.
“Isn’t it?” Seraphina looked at him, “Anyway you slept in the study, and it doesn’t seem like Grandpa or the staff noticed”
Without another word, Leandro turned around and went into the bathroom.
