Chapter 232

Seraphina was planning some places to visit, places that Leandro knew very well.

Not because he’d been there, but because he’d seen them in countless photos and videos.

These were all photos and videos of Betty, which he’d watched repeatedly. Places Seraphina and Betty had once visited, he’d seen in the videos over and

Leandros hands paused mid-page flip. After a moment, he turned to her, his gaze intense.

“You’re waiting for March 4th, aren’t you? To pay her a visit?” Seraphina asked.
