Chapter 322
Abbot was close by, watching as Seraphina came out of the room. He didn’t approach immediately; instead, he stared at the room in front of him.
The door was open, and soon a man came out. When the man came up to them, Seraphina still seemed a bit out of it.
Leandro stood in front of her, silently watching her for a moment before taking off his coat and draping it over Seraphina’s shoulders.
Only when she was wrapped in his still-warm coat did Seraphina seem to snap back to reality. Her gaze refocused, landing on Leandro’s face.
“Hey,” she softly greeted him when she finally came to.
Leandro quietly held her gaze for a moment before reaching out to take her cold hand, “Let’s go home.”
Seraphina’s body was still a bit stiff, but she let him lead her towards the elevator.
The hallway regained its peace. The room Leandro had just emerged from was littered with crushed cigarette butts, and a cup of coffee had gone completely cold.
Seraphina was quiet all the way home.
She sat silently in the back seat, motionless, her hand in Leandro’s, but still cold.
Leandro didn’t ask her anything throughout. After they went upstairs and into the room, he murmured, “I’ll heat some water for you. You should take a hot bath.”
“I’ll do it myself.” Seraphina finally spoke, looking up at him, “Let’s sleep separately tonight. I need some peace and quiet.”
She was still smiling as she said this, but she didn’t say anything else or make any other requests.
Leandro respected her wishes.
Seraphina quickly closed the door in front of him.
Leandro, stood at her door for a moment before moving to his own room.
As soon as he entered, his phone rang.
“Mr. Reynolds.” Keen’s voice came from the phone, filled with anxiety and unease, “I managed to get in touch with Miss Andrea, but she said if you want to know what happened today, you should ask your wife, not her…”
Leandro hung up the phone and tossed it aside.
That night, Seraphina’s room went dark early, but the light in Leandro’s room stayed on until dawn.
Around five in the morning, as the sky started to lighten, Seraphina, leaning against the headboard, heard the sound of a car downstairs.
