Chapter 68
Seraphina was dining alone with ten elders of the Reynolds family.
Seven years ago, she might have been too scared to even sit at the table in such a situation, but today, she was eating quite comfortably.
Apart from Bruce, everyone else also talked to her, albeit a bit stiffly, and the topics were all trivial.
But Gloria was the only one who didn’t say a word throughout the meal, just quietly eating her food, not even bothering to glance more than once at Seraphina.
But Seraphina didn’t mind, she was happily eating and chatting on her own.
After dinner, Bruce directly invited Seraphina to stay over.
“We’ve always had a room prepared for you at home. Now that you’re back, you should stay,” Bruce said. “The house is spacious and comfortable. Why would you want to stay out?”
Bruce always treated her like family, and Seraphina felt his words were sincere, even though she wasn’t entirely sure if they were all true.
“No, I’m good living outside. This place is too big. I’m afraid I’ll get lost, Seraphina said.
“Getting lost in your own house?” Bruce said, “You’ll have to move back sooner or later.”
Was he seriously treating her as Leandro’s fiancée? Seraphina couldn’t help but want to laugh, “Who says I have to move in? I don’t want
to.”
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room had their own interpretations, and some started to worry.
“Given your relationship with Leandro, isn’t it normal for you to move back?” Leonard Reynolds, the third son of the Reynolds family,
said.
