Chapter 436

Leaving Valerio’s school, Leandro had planned to take Seraphina to a cozy little bistro for lunch, but his plans were interrupted by a call from Herman. “Leandro, you’re in Summitville too?” Herman’s voice came through the phone. “Let’s grab some lunch together.”

“With you?” Leandro responded bluntly, “No time for that.”

He didn’t visit Summitville often and certainly didn’t want to waste his time with Herman.

Seraphina could hear Herman’s whining through the phone and couldn’t help but lean in close, cheek to cheek with Leandro, to listen in.

“Come on, don’t be like that,” Herman pleaded from the other end. “I know you’re here to see Seraphina and Valerio, but we haven’t caught up in ages. A quick bite won’t kill you, will it?”

It would waste a lot of time.

Leandro was about to say just that when Seraphina snatched the phone from his hand and chuckled softly, “Tell me, are you looking to have lunch with Leandro or someone else? Because there’s no one else with us.”

“I know that,” Herman responded, sounding like he was grinding his teeth.

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, then said, “Well, since you’re so pitiful, we’ll accept your lunch invitation. Send over the address.”

After hanging up, Seraphina handed the phone back to Leandro, who finally spoke up, “I don’t recall agreeing to lunch with him.”

“But I did,” Seraphina glanced at him. “If you don’t want to see him, we can go our separate ways. I don’t mind at all.”

Leandro remained silent, just pocketing his phone. Then Seraphina leaned in closer to him and added, “The reason I agreed is that I know he’s been feeling down lately. We should cheer him up.”

Feeling down?” Leandro echoed thoughtfully.
