Chapter 334
In a flash, Seraphina was tempted to crumple the painting in her hand.
But just as the thought crossed her mind, she found she just couldn’t do it.
After all, it was Valerio’s work, all she did was just to help him make some changes. What’s the big deal showing him a simple painting?
With that thought, Seraphina toughed it out and handed him the painting.
However, as she handed it over, she felt uneasy and couldn’t help but smudge the face she had drawn herself.
The watercolor on the paper hadn’t completely dried yet, and her smudge smeared the picture.
Leandro took the paper and saw a blurred figure.
Despite the blurriness, the overall style was still there, not purely Valerio’s style.
But the face was blurred, unrecognizable.
While he was looking at the painting, Seraphina slipped away from him, only to see Leandro’s dark gaze.
She couldn’t conceal her surprise, but put on a calm face, “You scared me!”
“Did I?” Leandro still held the painting, glanced at it, and casually said, “When did you become so timid?”
Seraphina snorted, took the painting from his hand, and stuffed it into Valerio’s portfolio.
“This is Valerio’s homework, don’t mess it up,” she said, “or he’ll be pissed tomorrow.”
Just as she said this, something occurred to her, she turned to him, “Ah, you won’t see him tomorrow, right? It’s already 2 a.m., when are you leaving?”
“Twelve noon.” As Leandro answered, he went to the side of the bed to check on Valerio.
Seraphina raised her eyebrows in surprise, “Wow, that’s like ten hours, aren’t you super busy? Do you have that much free time?”
Leandro sat by the bed, hearing this, he turned to look at her and slowly said, “I rarely have free time, and you happen to be suffering from insomnia, isn’t this perfect?”
Upon hearing this, Seraphina quickly moved towards the bed, ready to hug Valerio, but Leandro caught her.
“I’m not suffering from insomnia.” Seraphina quickly denied, “I’m really sleepy, I can fall asleep in a minute.”
But Leandro seemed to ignore her.
The way she was positioned in his arms was too intimate, he listened to her feeble excuses, and leaned down to kiss her.
Seraphina found the position uncomfortable and struggled a bit.
Then, she was carried by Leandro into the bathroom.
The old-fashioned bathroom had been remodeled, its layout unchanged, aside from the new fixtures, everything else remained.
Somewhat dim, somewhat damp, turning on the shower, the room filled with steam.
In the blurry steam, Seraphina was held tightly by Leandro, giving her a thorough bath.
It had been a long time since they were together, Leandro was deeply missing her, and was unwilling to let her go easily.
Seraphina had originally a lot of questions she wanted to ask him, but they were all washed away under the shower, disappearing to who knows where.
The next morning, the first to wake up was Valerio.
As a soon-to-be primary school student, he had good habits, full of energy, ready to greet the new day every morning at 6:30.
But today’s new day left him a little confused.
Last night when he went to bed, there were only him and Seraphina in the bed, how come there was an extra person sharing the blanket with Seraphina when he woke up?
