Chapter 292

Seraphina didn’t utter another word. She just took a bunch of files and headed back to Reynolds Manor.

Keeley didn’t chase after her.

He already knew what he needed to know. Stopping Seraphina now would be pointless.

What he didn’t know was that upon entering the house, Seraphina walked all the way to her room before taking a deep breath and placing a hand over her chest.

At dinner time, Seraphina came downstairs to find Valerio was not at the table.

“Where’s Valerio?” She asked.

“He went straight upstairs when he got home,” the maid answered. “I just checked on him, he seems to be in the bathroom.”
