Chapter 189

Seraphina didn’t linger in Leandro’s arms for long

The pain from the past suddenly resurfaced, and she could no longer run from it. She had to face it.

She had always been good at controlling her emotions.

She quickly pulled herself away from Leandro’s embrace, took a seat, and just stared at the big screen, letting the tears silently roll down her cheeks.

When Leandro reached out to her again, Seraphina calmly dodged him.

Leandro’s suit and shirt were still damp. It had only been a few hours, and because of Betty, she had lost control and cried twice.

But he knew it wasn’t enough.

The pain of loss couldn’t be released by crying twice.

After many photos and a few videos of Betty played on the big screen, Leandro hit the pause button.

Initially engrossed in the screen, Seraphina suddenly stopped and turned to look at Leandro.

Her eyes were full of undropped tears, filled with confusion and anticipation.

There was still hope, and that was good.

Leandro knew he couldn’t let the slideshow play to the end. If it did, it would mean Betty’s short life had ended.

As long as it didn’t finish, it meant they were still reminiscing, giving the illusion of hope, as if Betty was still alive.
