Chapter 209

On the last day of his wedding leave, Leandro finally found time to throw a party for his friends who supported him at his wedding.

Upon hearing the news of the party, Seraphina, who had been bedridden for two days due to gastroenteritis, immediately sprang to life. She grabbed Leandros arm and said, “What’s the point of you guys sitting around chatting and drinking? I’ll find some hot chicks to spice things up!

Leandro didn’t react much to her suggestion.

Though unfamiliar with many in Sunburst City, she had a select few acquaintances. While Leandro wasn’t particularly fond of mingling with unfamiliar faces, he didn’t protest her plans

However, as they entered “Enchanted Petals Club, Leandro quickly realized he had misjudged the extent of Seraphina’s connections. Among the invitees were Una and her entertainment industry colleagues, as well as gallery directors, fashion stylists, wedding coordinators, and even Conway’s former nurse. The only expected face missing was Sandra’s

What Leandro had envisioned as an intimate meetup had been transformed by Seraphina into a grand celebration. In truth, his intention for this gathering was to express gratitude to those who had supported their wedding, turning it into a post-wedding festivity. So, in essence, the larger, vibrant affair was fitting

However, facing a room full of people, Leandro wasn’t in the best of moods, just chatting and drinking with Victor in a corner.

Seraphina, who hadn’t attended such a gathering in a long time, was in high spirits and skillfully got everyone in the party mood.

Herman arrived late, walked in to see Edgar and Hal having a blast among a group of women, went pale, then quickly made his way over to Leandro and Victor upon spotting them in the corner.

“What’s going on here? Herman asked, “I thought it was just going to be us guys!”

Leandro took a drag of his cigarette but didn’t answer

Victor glanced at Seraphina in the crowd and chuckled, “What can you do? Seraphina loves a good party, and Leandro lets her have her way.”

At this, Herman Inoked at Seraphina in the crowd and frowned slightly

In the middle of the conversation, Hal managed to escape the crowd and came back, took a big gulp of wine from the table, then finally let out a sigh of relief. “Leandro, your wife sure knows how to party. Even Edgar can’t keep up with her.”

Upon hearing this, Leandro also looked at Seraphina in the crowd

She was the center of attention, playing drinking games with Edgar, all smiles, Edgar was no match for her.

“Who would’ve thought he’d end up marrying someone like her Victor laughed. The guy who loves peace and quiet the most, marrying the woman who

loves to party the most.”

That’s a pretty good match, a balance.” Hal said, “I like your wife’s spirit, you should bring her out more often!”

After saying that, he went back to the lively crowd to join in the fun.

Victor then looked back at Leandro, “You probably didn’t expect her to turn out this way, did you?”
