Chapter 318

Listening to her feigned casual tone, Leandro didn’t respond, just lifted his hand to gently stroke her cheek.

She tried her best to keep her expression light, even managed a slight smile when she noticed his gesture.

They both knew. They had both separately looked up information on Adelina. It was a testament to their inner doubts.

While it seemed absurd, it was the only conclusion they could draw at the moment.

“You’re not going to say anything?” Seraphina Bennett turned her head slightly to look at him, “Then I’ll start?”

As she spoke, she tried to stand, but Leandro wrapped his arms around her waist, preventing her from standing up.

For some reason, when she wanted to speak her suspicions, Seraphina preferred standing alone, viewing the issue from an independent perspective.

But since Leandro wouldn’t let her stand, she paused for a moment, and then gave up on insisting.

After all sitting on him was pretty comfortable.

She leaned back slightly, resting on Leandro’s desk, and creating a bit of distance between them before she spoke, “Adelina and my dad, they probably knew each other from back in the day. They were born in the same place, and probably knew each other since childhood. Maybe they were even childhood sweethearts?”

“But after they came to Sunburst City, they separated for various reasons. Adèlina met Simon Martin, while my dad met— Magdalen.”

“My dad probably still had feelings for Adelina, but Magdalen aggressively pursued him, and he couldn’t say no. Coupled with the interference from people like Bruce, he chose to elope with Magdalen.

Adelina, after giving birth to Andrea, gradually saw Simon for who he truly was, so she chose to leave. Maybe it was intentional, maybe it was accidental, but anyway, she and my dad met again in Summitville. And then…” Seraphina paused here, suddenly looking up at
