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.

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?”
