Chapter 399

At that night, time seemed to stretch on endlessly.

Seraphina dozed off for a bit, and when she woke up, she found herself alone in the bed.

The lamp by the bed was dimmed to its lowest setting, casting the room in near darkness. There was clearly no one else in the roorn.

Rubbing her eyes, Seraphina reached for her phone to check the time: it was already half past two in the morning.

Could it be that Leandro was still working at this hour?

After lying in bed for a bit without any sign of Leandro’s return, Seraphina finally got up and put on her robe.

Just as she was stepping out of their bedroom, she saw Karah coming up the stairs, carrying a steaming plate of pasta.

Just as she suspected, the light was still on in Leandro’s study.

Seeing Seraphina, Karan was slightly surprised, then broke into a smile. “Having trouble sleeping without Leandro by your side?”

Seraphina just glanced at the plate of pasta in Karan’s hands. “He asked you to cook him pasta at this hour? Isn’t that a bit demanding?”

“No, no,” Karan hurriedly explained. “I couldn’t sleep, and when I saw him working, I asked him if he had eaten anything for dinner. The answer was no. Considering his stomach wasn’t well, I thought I’d cook him some pasta.”

Hearing this, Seraphina’s expression softened slightly.

Karan then handed her the bowl of pasta. “Since you’re up, you can take this to him. Make sure he eats it all. Young as he is, he still needs to take care of his health.”

Seraphina took the plate, nodded, and headed for Leandro’s study.

Pushing the door open, she found Leandro still deep in his work, not even looking up at the sound of the door opening.

Seraphina moved closer, placing the pasta next to him.

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or perhaps it was her familiar scent, but Leandro suddenly looked up at her.

“Why are you awake?” he asked.

Seraphina didn’t answer, just leaned in to peek at the pile of documents in front of him.
