Chapter 45
Although she had a hunch, Seraphina was still taken aback by Valeno’s sudden appearance. The fact that he came alone, without anyone with him, was a real shocker “How did you get here?” Seraphina squatted down to ask Valeno “Where’s your family?”
Valero didn’t answer, just kept staring at her
So, left with no other option, Seraphina took Valerio into the house
Upon entering the room, they found Conway seated comfortably on the sofa Valerio’s eyes widened in surprise as they darted first to Conway and then to Seraphina. Conway mirrored his gaze, first looking at Valerio, then turning his attention to Seraphina
After a moment, both Valerio and Conway found seals on separate sofas flanking Seraphina, observing her while she was engrossed in a phone call
On the other end of the line was Karan, reporting that Valerio had slipped away unnoticed and she was now desperately searching for him
As she listened to the phone call, Seraphina rubbed her temples and cast a helpless look towards Valerio and Conway, who were seated right in front of her
After hanging up. Seraphina looked at Conway seriously, “Grandpa, your great–grandson dared to run away from home at such a young age Aren’t you going to discipline
him?”
Conway casually took a sip of water from the cup in front of him and said, “He came to find you. Besides, before he met you, he never did anything like this, so you should be the one to discipline him”
Seraphina bit her lip and laughed. “That’s not my job If you’re not going to discipline him, then if he gets lost, that’s a problem for the Reynolds family”
“The Reynolds family? Conway repeated.
“Grandpa, although I see you as my own grandpa, I’m not a part of the Reynolds family after all!”
Conway sneered and furrowed his brows
Seraphina felt a headache coming on.
She couldn’t shake off the little guy and the old guy was becoming more and more stubborn. Who had she pissed off to deserve this?
As Seraphina was thinking about how to discipline Valerio, the doorbell rang again
The moment she opened the door, Seraphina thought that she should move to a bigger house. How could such a small single room accommodate three people from the Reynolds family?
Leandro, dressed in a dark suit, looked at her coldly with furrowed brows
“Mr. Reynolds, what a coincidence Seraphina stepped aside. “Your family’s old man and little guy are waiting for you to pick them up.”
Leandro entered the room, his face devoid of any emotion. He called out “grandpa, and then his attention shifted to Valerio,
Valerio recoiled and quickly stood up, rushing over to Seraphina and clutching her leg tightly. He bowed his head and remained silent.
Leandro didn’t say much, just a simple command “Valerio, come out
Valeno clung tightly to Seraphina’s leg refusing to budge even when she tried to move His grip only tightened.
“Ten seconds” Leandro’s voice remained cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation
Though Seraphina wasn’t intimidated by Leandro, she could still feel the intense chill emanating from him Valerio, who was clinging to her leg, seemed to feel it too. He trembled slightly but still held onto her tightly
“Hey!” Seraphina called out helplessly “d your dad is calling you!”
Only then did Valerio lift his head and look at Seraphina
His eyes were full of hope and longing It was clear as day but she had never given him anything
While Seraphina was still in a daze, Valeno suddenly lifted a piece of paper and handed it to her
When she saw what was written on the paper, her heart clenched
It read. Are you my mom?
