Chapter 391

After Keen left the Reynolds residence, Leandro finally emerged from his study and opened the door to Valerio’s bedroom.

The bedroom was dim, with only a small bedside lamp providing a soft glow.

Valerio was nestled in his covers, his eyes closed and breath steady in sleep.

Seraphina was lying beside him, her body turned to face him. Her arm was draped over Valerio’s body, careful not to weigh him down.

She watched him intently, her eyes reluctant to blink.

Leandro moved to sit at the edge of the bed.

He too observed Valerio silently for a moment before speaking, “Are you sleeping with him tonight?”

“Yeah.” Seraphina responded quietly, then added, “He enjoys sleeping with me the most. We didn’t have the chance before, but recently I’ve had some time, so I let him sleep with me. If he wakes up in the morning and I’m not there, he gets upset.”

Leandro didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he reached out and gently held the hand Seraphina had left outside the covers.

After a pause, she spoke again, “Can you do me a favor?”

“Sure.” Leandro answered.

“Can you look into Betty’s background? Even though she’s no longer here, I don’t want her existence to be another tragedy.”

Leandro nodded, reaching out to brush a stray hair from her face. “Even though Betty wasn’t our biological child, she was by your side for three years. She was our daughter.”

Tears welled up in Seraphina’s eyes. She quickly turned away from him, focusing back on Valerio.

Leandro sat quietly beside them for a while longer. Finally, he stood, bending down to kiss Valerio’s forehead before planting a soft kiss on Seraphina’s lips.

Seraphina laid quietly, not pulling away.

“Good night.” Leandro said.

Seraphina nodded in response.
