Chapter 312

Hearing the voice over the phone and seeing the person’s photo on her computer screen piqued Seraphina’s interest.

“Ms. Martin?” Seraphina slowly settled into her chair. “What can I do for you?”

Andrea’s tone was very calm. “Thing is, at my sister’s engagement party yesterday, we had little gifts for the guests, but you left early, Mrs. Reynolds, and I forgot to give you yours. I hear you own an art gallery, mind if I drop it off there?”

A gift from Tania’s engagement party, and she wanted to deliver it personally?

Seraphina couldn’t help but speculate for a moment, “Sure thing. I’m heading to the gallery soon. You’re more than welcome to drop by, Ms. Martin.”

“See you in a bit then.” Andrea seemed pleased with Seraphina’s response and hung up.

Seraphina put down her phone, looked at the information on the computer screen for a while, then got up and went back to her room to change before heading out.

By the time Seraphina arrived at the gallery, Andrea was already standing at the entrance, carefully examining the rose painting Seraphina had hung in the

center.

“Hey.” Seraphina walked in, calling out to her, “Ms. Martin.”

Only then did Andrea turn around. Seeing Seraphina, she gave a small smile, “I heard this gallery was named after your father, Mrs. Reynolds, and mainly exhibits your father’s work?”

Seraphina nodded, “That’s right.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing your father’s work before.” Andrea said, “This rose painting, it’s a bit different from his usual style.”

Seraphina gave a small smile at her words, “You’re spot on. My dad’s usual work is very subtle, but when he painted roses, he used such bold, vibrant

colors.”

After hearing this, Andrea seemed to understand, “Because the rose represents his deepest feelings.”

“That’s right.” Seraphina said, “My mom.”

Andrea looked at the rose painting again in silence for a while, then slowly said, “Your parents’ deep love for each other is truly enviable.”

Enviable?

As Seraphina led Andrea further in, she said, “My dad passed away when I was ten, and my mom went to Starhaven shortly after. The time they had together was really short.”

“Feelings can’t be measured by time, can they?” Andrea said, “Even though it was just over a decade, their true love is better than being in a marriage where you wear each other down and end up as strangers.”
