Chapter 168

Leandro paused at the entrance, observing her silently. She remained still, not acknowledging his presence. Taking a step forward, he stopped right in front of her, lifting his head slightly as he inquired, “What’s going on?”

When Seraphina finally raised her eyes to meet his, the raw emotion in them was evident. She appeared taken aback, a mix of sadness and confusion evident in her gaze. Without a word, her hands instinctively rose to cover the plunging neckline of her dress.

Suppressing a smirk, Leandro merely watched her, biting back a chuckle.

Leandro looked at her carefully and then asked. “You look great in it, why don’t you want to wear it?”

Seeing her reaction, Leandro was even more curious, “Isn’t it every girl’s dream to wear a wedding dress? Why are you the exception?”

It was a long time before Seraphina finally answered him,“I’m not looking forward to it.”

“Why?”

Tears filled her eyes as she gazed at him, “I’ll never get to walk down the aisle with my dad, so I don’t look forward to it.” As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. She quickly brushed them away, sitting in silence.
