Chapter 116
A few days later, in Sunburst City
That day, the Reynolds family was back at it again, bickering after enjoying a few days of peace. When
Leandro got home late at night, the servants were still cleaning up the mess in the living room
Karan was just coming downstairs. She sighed seeing him.
“What happened this time?” Leandro asked
Karan replied, “Your father went to Starhaven a couple of days ago Your mother found out today that
he went to see Magdalen, so
Upon hearing the name “Magdalen, Leandro slightly furrowed his brows, then asked, “Where are they
now?”
“After the fight, your father left. Your mother is upstairs crying Karan said. Tm going to get her a glass
of water You should go check on her”
Leandro turned and headed upstairs. As soon as he reached the second floor, he could hear Gloria’s
crying mixed with curses
Over the years, whenever there was a situation like this, it was always because of the women around
Bruce. For Gloria, these women were all taboos, and Magdalen was the most annoying one. Every
time her name was mentioned, it caused Glona immense pain.
Their marriage had become more than just a sham There wasn’t even basic respect between them.
Bruce’s nature was hard to change, and Gloria couldn’t change him but also refused to let go, leading
to the situation today
Leandro arrived at Gloria’s bedroom door Gloria’s voice suddenly became clear. Her sharp voice mixed
with offensive curses sounded like a deranged madwoman.
Leandro was not indifferent to her pain. However, the more he sympathized with her, the more his heart
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrew numb.
After all, she didn’t have to endure this pain, but she refused to make a change.
It was not only them torturing each other, but also Gloria torturing herself.
When Karan came up with a glass of water, she saw Leandro still standing at the door
“Why don’t you go in?” She whispered, approaching him.
Leandro suddenly turned around.
“You can stay with her. I’m going back to Valerio.”
After saying this, he headed towards the stairs
“Leandro! Leandro Karan called out in a low voice. Seeing that he didn’t turn back, she felt a bit
irritated.
She turned her head towards the room. Gloria was still cursing
Karan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then pushed the door open.
Leandro sat in the black Bentley, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed
The driver was concentrating on driving to Urban Oasis when Leandro asked. “Where is my
grandfather staying recently?”
The driver was taken aback and looked at Leandro in the rear–view mirror. Leandro’s eyes were still
closed, and his question seemed more like talking to himself. However, the driver quickly replied. “After
Ms Bennett left, Conway thought the Reynolds Manor was too lonely, so he moved to the nursing
home”
“Let’s go see him” Leandro said.
The driver glanced at the time on the dashboard. It was already half past eleven, but since Leandro
had said so, he naturally didn’t object. He quickly turned the car around.
When they arrived at the nursing home, only a few rooms were still lit. One of them was Conway’s
When Leandro entered the room, Conway was sitting under the light fussing with his antique radio.
Seeing him, Conway immediately put on a stern face. “you still remember you have a grandfather?”
Leandro didnt answer, instead, he took the radio from his hand, “Can’t receive the signal again?”
Conway settled into his rocking chair, “It’s broken.”
Leandro quickly tested the radio, then took off his coat and found a set of tools to start repairing the
radio.
“It must have been accidentally broken by Seraphina.” Conway said, “But, I still prefer her being here.
At least someone was with me then, and you would visit me more often. Since she left, you haven’t
seen me for half a month. That’s the sorrow of being old…
Leandro didn’t respond to him, just focused on repairing his antique radio
About ten minutes later, the radio finally made a sound. Conway immediately cheered up, holding the
radio like a treasure.
Leandro quietly wiped his hands, then heard Conway ask, “When was the last time you had a good
rest?”
Leandro continued his movements, ‘Is it that obvious?”
Conway sand, “Although I’m old, my eyes are still good. Your eyes are red You rarely look like this.”
“I didn’t sleep well Leandro replied
Upon hearing this, Conway frowned, “Why didn’t you sleep well? Anything going on with the
company?”
“Nothing” Leandro replied, “Everything is normal”
After hearing thus, Conway slowly said, “Seven years ago, I handed the company over to you. I’ve
seen all the effort you’ve put into the company over the years. The facts have proven that my decision
was right You’ve been busy these years, you should take a break, take Valerio out. For example you
could take her to Starhaven for a break She hasn’t been to faraway places. She would definitely love it
there.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Conway finished speaking, he picked up the radio and went back to his bedroom
Leandro sat quietly for a while, then got up and left
Since meeting Seraphina again, Cooper’s life, which had been stagnant for three years, underwent a
huge change
Although he still felt repulsed by the idea of going out, Seraphina seemed to have completely forgotten
that he was disabled Every time they went out, she always took him. to crowded places- lectures,
operas, museums, different restaurants for meals.
After a while, Cooper realized that Seraphina was helping him reintegrate into normal life. Although he
didn’t have the intention, he always found it hard to refuse her.
One day, they were having dinner at a restaurant downtown and ran into Magdalen in the elevator,
quite unexpectedly.
Seraphina and Cooper stepped into the elevator Just as they hit the button for the floor the restaurant
was on, Magdalen and her boyfriend walked in
Seraphina greeted her with a grin, “Ms Magdalen, it’s nice seeing you here”
She glanced at the man beside her. Not the one from the hospital last time
Seraphina wasn’t surprised Magdalen glanced at her, then at the floor number she had pressed. Then,
arm in arm with the man, she walked out of the elevator “Let’s change
to another restaurant”
Cooper was taken aback, “Sera, was that.
“My mom” Seraphina replied, “Ms. Magdalen“,
“And you two..
“That’s just how it is between us” Seraphina said, ‘Don’t be surprised.”
Cooper pondered for a moment, then said, ‘You don’t seem to be as cold to her as she is to you.”
Leaning against the elevator wall, Seraphina smiled softly, “Before my dad passed away, he told me to
keep her company I’ve always respected his wishes, but she doesn’t
need me.”
