Chapter 290

Deep into the night, Reynolds Manor had fallen silent, and Leandro’s car finally pulled up at the entrance.

In the past, he often worked late into the night, which was normal for him. You could even say he got off work early today.

But he didn’t know when he started to feel out of sync with this lifestyle. Every time he didn’t return home late at night, he felt a bit uneasy.

He knew Seraphina had come home early today. The house was quiet, she must’ve been asleep.

Leandro returned to his bedroom, didn’t see Seraphina, but he didn’t mind. After showering, he headed straight to Seraphina’s bedroom. However, when he opened the door to Seraphina’s room, with the moonlight streaming in from the window, he found the room empty. Leandro felt a bit puzzled and glanced back at the empty corridor.

No one was downstairs, no one in the corridor, no one in his room, no one in her room either. Where the hell was Seraphina?

He walked a few more steps to Conway’s door, ready to open it, but found no light seeping from under the door. Which meant Conway had gone to bed, Seraphina couldn’t be in his room.

Leandro retracted his hand, went to Valerio’s room. He hadn’t thought much about it, but the image of Valerio appearing in his room in the morning flashed across his mind.

After standing still for two seconds, Leandro reached out, trying to open the door.

However, when his hand gripped the doorknob, trying to turn it, he found the doorknob wouldn’t budge.

He’d never encountered such resistance on Valerio’s door before. He was a bit puzzled, tried again, and then realized the door was locked.

Valerio usually didn’t lock his door when he slept.
