Chapter 237
After hearing what Seraphina had to say, Terrell looked at her earnestly, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Seraphina shrugged and smirked. “If you get what I’m saying, you ll understand. If you don’t, I can’t explain it any better.”
As they walked out together, Leandro’s car was indeed parked at the curb.
Seeing them come out, Keen leaned into the car to say something. The window in the back rolled down swiftly, revealing Leandro.
Upon seeing this. Terrell stepped forward and greeted, “Mr. Reynolds, sorry to keep you waiting. I’ll get going now.”
Leandro gave a slight nod.
Only then did Terrell turn to leave. Seraphina, however, remained by the car, watching Terrell’s retreating figure for a long while before she finally looked
away
“Seen enough?” Leandro glanced at her before asking
Seraphina looked away from him, her eyes landing on the stoic man inside the car. She shrugged slightly Just as she was about to get into the car, she noticed a group of people emerging from the concert hall across the street.
This street, being Sunburst City’s artistic hotspot, was a familiar scene to Seraphina who had seen many artists over time. However, as she bent down to get into the car, she noticed Keen looking at the group, seemingly lost in thought.
This piqued Seraphina’s curiosity. She paused her action of getting into the car and looked over at the group again.
Among the group, a woman in a dark green coat who stood tall and slender with long, smooth hair and honey-colored skin that glowed, was particularly eye-catching. Her beauty and charisma were undeniable.
A commercial vehicle was parked at the entrance of the concert hall and someone was holding the door open, inviting the woman to board.
Before she got into the car, the woman glanced over in their direction. It seemed as if her eyes met Keen’s and she paused for a moment before getting into the car.
Seraphinas action of getting into the car had been halted for a while. She straightened up and poked Keen, “Do you know her? Who is she?”
Keen snapped back to reality, a fleeting unnatural expression crossing his face, “No…. I don’t know her.”
Seraphina looked at him and just smiled.
Oh, what an honest guy.
By the time she got into the car, the commercial vehicle had passed by her and gradually disappeared into the night.
Seraphina’s gaze fell back onto Keen who quickly avoided her eyes again
She turned to look at Leandro.
The man beside her always carried a cold expression as if nothing ever concerned him. He only said one thing, “Drive”
Seraphina didn’t say much either. Once her momentary curiosity passed, all she cared about was the document in her bag.
Back at Reynolds Manor, Seraphina immediately claimed Leandro’s study to start working.
According to the documents she had, the man who had briefly interacted with Keeley by the vending machine at the hospital was named Maddox, a 45-year-old professor in the physics department at Sunburst University. He was an intellectual and an elite in society, with outstanding achievements in teaching and research
Such a person didn’t seem like someone who would have any connection with a high school dropout like Keeley.
But life is full of surprises. Sometimes, the impossible happens.
Sometimes, two seemingly unrelated people have a chance to establish some sort of connection.
Seraphina only went through the documents once when the study door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
She looked up to see Leandro, fresh out of the shower, wearing only a black bathrobe.
“Do you need the study?” Seraphina asked, raising her eyebrows.
“No.” Leandro responded.
No?
Seraphina looked at him again.
Leandro was usually dressed neatly when he was working in the study. This wasn’t his usual look when he was about to work.
If he wasn’t here to work.. his intentions were clear.
