Chapter 464

Since Leandro had been injured, Seraphina found herself softening towards him more and more lately, and each time she did, it seemed to come with a price-

Especially when dealing with someone who was injured, when she had to take the initiative for most of their interactions, this kind of yielding was particularly exhausting.

Seraphina lay beside Leandro, being careful not to press on his wounds while also trying to pamper him-it was like she was a glutton for punishment.

It took all her patience until Leandro finally scrapped the idea of going out. The moment he did, Seraphina’s demeanor flipped, and she abruptly pushed him away, turning over to sleep.

But then Leandro snuggled up behind her again, wrapping an arm around her and inhaling the scent of her perfume and shampoo, murmuring, “I’m serious, we can let go of Valerio’s tutors.”

“Why?” Seraphina asked, turning to glance at him.

“He was a late talker, already an outsider to the world around him. Now that he’s finally speaking, of course he should integrate into school life, get used to the new world quickly,” Leandro replied.

“I know that,” Seraphina said, “but if he enrolls here and then we go back to Summitville, he’ll have to start all over again. That’s going to be hard on him.”

Hearing this, Leandro suddenly looked at her, “Back to Summitville?”

“Of course.” Seraphina raised her eyebrows, “We stayed in Sunburst City because of your hospitalization. But now you’re

discharged, and your wounds are healing. It’s time for us to go back to Summitville, don’t you think?”

After a moment’s gaze, Leandro slowly nodded in agreement, “Summitville is indeed a great place for recovery.”

Seraphina pulled back slightly, studying him closely, “What are you talking about? You’re coming back to Summitville with us?” “Can’t I?” Leandro countered.

“No,” Seraphina replied, “What if you discover the other man I’ve been keeping?”

Leandro gently caressed her face, “By then, you’ll realize you’ve been wasting your time.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “With the shape you’re in now? Dream on!”
