Chapter 78

After deciding to move into Balch’s villa, Seraphina took a very serious tour of the house.

The whole house has eight bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and Seraphina can enter most areas, but there are still two rooms that she can’t open.

She knew very well what was in those two rooms, and she didn’t seem to care much about it. After visiting the remaining rooms, she turned around and bumped into Balch who was coming down the stairs

Seraphina leaned against the hallway wall and watched him, I’ve seen about everything, so which room will be mine?

Any room you fancy?Balch asked

Seraphina shrugged, they are all the same to me really.

Balch took a couple of steps forward, gradually getting closer to her.

Seraphina’s breathing subtly tightened.

If you don’t mind, you could bunk in my room.Balch dropped his eyes, looking at Seraphina, he slowly said.

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh out loud, If I take your room, where are you gonna sleep?

Balch didn’t answer but reached out and put his hand on Seraphina’s waist.

In this romantic and ambiguous atmosphere, Seraphina’s body stiffened slightly.

Balch easily noticed her reaction, but Seraphina seemed to want to hide it, she took the initiative to move forward and hug his waist.

Balch was quiet for a moment before he smiled slightly. It’s okay, I’ll wait until you’re ready.

After hearing this, Seraphina spoke in a somewhat low voice: I m not-

But Balch just gently patted her on the back, saying: You’ve been too tense lately. Take some time to rest.”

Seraphina leaned into his arms without moving. After a while, she finally said. “You’re being so nice to me. I might just fall for you

Balch couldn’t help but chuckle. Before he could say anything, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

The two exchanged glances, and Balch took Seraphina’s hand and led her downstairs to open the door.

Unsurprisingly, the person standing at the door was Karan, who had just seen their every move.

She saw Balch and Seraphina holding hands, her face suddenly changed, she slapped Seraphina’s hand hard, making Seraphina pull her hand back in pain, she sternly asked, Seraphina, what on earth are you doing?
