Chapter 216
Leandro is always a man of his word. When Seraphina saw him fresh from a shower and answering a call, she thought he had plans for the night. But before she knew it, he was already changing his clothes, ready to head out.
Seraphina bumped into him on her way out of the study Seeing him all dressed up, she thought he was about to take her out for a wild night out and couldn’t help but take a step back, asking. “Where are you off to?”
Leandro glanced at her and replied, “I need to swing by Reynolds Vista Retreat.”
Wait, he’s going to Reynolds Vista Retreat at this time?
“What’s up?” Seraphina asked, puzzled.
Leandro was nonchalant, simply responding. “What else could it be?”
From his response, the situation became clear
There wasn’t much going on at Reynolds Vista Retreat except for Bruce Reynolds and Gloria’s constant fights. But what exactly was this fight about?
It must be something big if even Leandro was disturbed this late
Seraphina followed Leandro downstairs, hoping to get some information. But Leandro didn’t seem to want to share anything, just telling her to go to bed early before heading out
Not being familiar with the people at Reynolds Vista Retreat, Seraphina turned to Karan, who worked at Reynolds Manor, hoping she could get some info on what was happening.
However, the news she got kept her up for most of the night.
It involved Magdalen
When Leandro and Seraphina got married, Magdalen knew she wasn’t exactly the Reynolds family’s favorite, so she only embraced the newlyweds before Seraphina left for the church. That was her version of a send-off. She was nowhere to be seen during the rest of the wedding. So, Gloria, not thrilled but kept her cool during the wedding
However, that night, Gloria spotted Bruce having dinner with Magdalen.
Details about what happened at the restaurant remained a mystery. All the servants knew was that Bruce came home injured. From their post-dinner argument, it seemed Gloria had thrown down at the restaurant, and Bruce got hurt while trying to protect Magdalen.
Patrick quirked an eyebrow, “Kill two birds with one stone, not a bad idea”
Seraphina didnt respond.
Patrick seemed to realize something, “Wait. Are you about to give me some bad news?”
“I’m afraid I’m going to let you down,” she said, “Although the offer you made is very tempting, I have other options”
Patrick paused for a moment before letting out a resigned laugh, “Honestly, I didn’t expect this. I came here full of anticipation, ready to set a date… even brought you a gift”
His last sentence was loaded with intrigue. Seraphina could tell, but her curiosity got the better of her, “What’s the gift?”
“A case.”
