Chapter 332
Sure, when she first got back to Sunburst City, she really loathed Leandro. But ever since the whole Betty incident came to light, her hatred just didn’t seem to have a place anymore.
She saw firsthand that Leandro could also feel pain, regret, and guilt for inadvertently hurting her, and hurting her deeply.
Then, he seemed to want to make it up to her with the whole world.
He helped her recover her father’s lost paintings, and set up Carney Artful Reverie;
He took her back to the streets in Velvetwood where she used to live, to heal her old wounds;
He let her use him to investigate cases, even though he would obviously get mad, he chose to bottle it up;
He took her to the restaurant they agreed on eight years ago and watched the movie they didn’t get to see back then;
He fully supported her investigation into the truth about Sandra, saying that if money could solve all her pain, he would use all his wealth;
He went from not being able to share a bed with anyone to not being able to sleep without her,
He quit smoking for her, after having smoked for over ten years, without her even knowing;
He was a hot-tempered strict boss, but because of her, he became so gentle that it surprised all the executives in the company;
He always wanted to be by her side, but would leave if she wanted some alone time;
He arranged her old home for her, let Valerio stay by her side, and told her to go back when she was rested.
She thought she was indifferent, like a calm lake, but it turns out she could still be moved by him, time and time again.
After all, this was Leandro, the Leandro she dreamt of when she was young.
How could she have ever thought, past or present, that Leandro would become this?
“He’s given me so much,” Seraphina said, “Pretty much whatever I want, he gives me. Even things I didn’t think of, he gives. I’m not cold-hearted. How could I not be moved?”
“If a man is willing to do this for a woman, basically, you could say he’s worth entrusting yourself to, right?” Andrea said.
Seraphina couldn’t help laughing, “So I married him.”
“So, have you thought about forever?” Andrea asked.
Seraphina was silent for a moment, then said, “Every couple says ‘forever’ when they get married, but how many really make it to the end? So, let’s not think too far ahead, just go with the flow.”
Andrea listened, quietly watching her for a while, then finally said, “Since you put it that way, we’ll just have to take it slow.”
Their conversation ended there. Andrea wanted to know more about Seraphina, but didn’t dare say too much.
After all, Seraphina was recovering now, and Leandro wanted her to relax, which is why she was staying in Summitville.
Any topic that would make Seraphina feel stressed or unhappy, Andrea didn’t plan to bring it up at this time.
Andrea stayed in Summitville for two days. When she met Seraphina, they spent most of their time reminiscing about their childhood or discussing food and drink, not mentioning anything else.
Andrea originally planned to stay with Seraphina longer, but upon hearing that Leandro was coming to visit, she left immediately.
She knew Leandro was a tough man to deal with. If she stayed, she might become an unnecessary obstacle between them, which could cause her a lot of trouble.
