Chapter 243
Seraphina ate her breakfast without distraction
Leandro quickly averted his gaze, gave Valerio a glance, and tapped gently on the table in front of him.
Valerio snapped back to reality, hastily finished off the remaining milk in his cup
The three sat at the dining table, not uttering a word, like strangers sharing a r
The silence was broken when Seraphina’s phone suddenly rang
times.
Seraphina put down her cutlery, checked her phone, then turned to Valerio, asking, “Done eating?”
Valeno nodded
“Go upstairs and read then, Seraphina said
Despite some dissatisfaction, Valerio left the dining table as she suggested and headed upstairs
Then, Seraphina slowly opened the message she had received earlier
The message was from Terrell, a few pictures and a voice message
Seraphina opened the voice message without any hesitation.
From her phone, Terrell’s voice came out, clear enough for Leandro to hear “Pictures of your husband
and Magnolia are out, have a look and pick one”
Leandro glanced at her again, while Seraphina had already opened the pictures, studying them
meticulously
Different angles, but all taken at last night s concert Magnolia on stage. Leandro in the audience,
perfectly stitched together, looking like an intimate exchange of gazes
Seraphina looked through the pictures and then sent a voice message “Only these? Send more, I’ll pick
“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTerrell quickly replied, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you examining pictures of your husband with
another woman closely? You just need to stir up some controversy, just pick any
As soon as he finished, a string of pictures came through again.
Seraphina didn’t immediately look at the pictures, instead, she replied, “What do you mean stir up
controversy? We’re reporting facts, aren’t we? Which part is fake?”
Tve never met a woman like you, getting all worked up over topics about your husband and other
women,” Terrell said.
“You don’t understand, Seraphina continued to voice message. “This Ms. Magnolia is no ordinary
woman, she’s important to Mr. Reynolds Me, Mrs Reynolds, might have to step aside for her one day”
Afterwards, she reopened the pictures sent by Terrell, examining each one carefully
“This Ms Magnolia, truly a combination of talent and beauty Seraphina said as she looked at the
pictures, “Each photo is so stunning it’s breathtaking
She casually glanced
Leandro after she said that
From the moment she started the conversation with Terrell, Leandro had put down whatever he had in
his hand, leaned back in his chair, silently observing her
Seraphina continued to peruse the pictures on her phone, and upon seeing a picture of Magnolia with
teary eyes looking at the stage, the chuckled and turned the phone towards Leandro
Leandro glanced at the picture on her phone, his expression unchanged
Seraphina smirked, “This is when she was looking at you, right? it really looks like she likes you a lot.
Even I’m getting butterflies
After she finished, she flipped to the next picture, a shot of Leandro gazing at the stage.
Then she showed the picture to Leandro, “This is a good picture of you. Can I interview you? Were you
particularly moved, particularly proud, when you were watching her on stage?”
Leandro finally spoke up, but not to answer her question. Instead, he responded to something she said
earlier, “You want to
step aside?”
Seraphina chuckled, “That’ll depend on Mr. Reynolds’ attitude. If you want me to give up the title of
Mrs. Reynolds, how could I refuse? After all, Ms Magnolia is such a special wornan, I wouldn’t dare to
compete with her!”
Leandro took a silent look at her, said nothing more, got up, left the dining table, and walked out of the
house.
Seraphina was left alone at the dining table, still flipping through the pictures on her phone, finally
reaching a conclusion.
“She’s really good-looking,’ she said.
The next day, a Monday edition gossip magazine featured Leandro, Seraphina, and Magnolia on the
cover.
On the cover, Leandro and Magnolia shared the same frame, a shot of their mutual gaze at the concert,
and Seraphina was in the corner, sitting alone by the window in a restaurant, gazing lonely out the
window.
Magnolia had mentioned in previous interviews that her success was all thanks to a benefactor, who is
also an important. person in her life.
The magazine article pointed out that the benefactor Magnolia had mentioned was Leandro.
This vivid report left a deep impression and the whole city was buzzing with excitement
Holed up at home, the first call of concern Seraphina received was from Sandra Smith.
“What happened?” Sandra asked right off the bat, ‘Is what the magazine said true?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Seraphina was lounging on the couch, the magazine Sandra mentioned lying on her
lap. Hearing Sandra’s question, she chuckled, “Of course, it’s true.”
“You’re laughing when it’s true?” Sandra said, “If Leandro really has something going on with that
woman, what are you going to do?”
Seraphina replied, “You should ask him.”
“Hold on,” Sandra said, “You’re not the one who cooked up this report right?”
Seraphina furrowed her brows slightly. “Why would you say that?”
“Cause this is so up your alley” Sandra said, “You’re the best at this kind of stuff.”
On hearing this, Seraphina burst into laughter again.
“Although I did set up that report, like I said before, the whole content is true.”
Sandra paused involuntarily, “How could Leandro…”
Seraphina looked at the pictures of Leandro and Magnolia in the magazine, and said nothing.
“So what’s your plan? Sandra asked.
“What can I do?” Seraphina responded with a question.
“Do you really not care?” Sandra asked, “I thought Leandro only treated you special, how come another
woman suddenly popped up…”
“Do you know what’s the silliest thing most women do?” Seraphina responded, “It’s thinking that they
are the special one.”
Sandra was speechless.
Luckily, Seraphina continued, “I never thought I was that special one.”
“Seraphina, Sandra suddenly called her, “you’re clearly not happy.”
“Which woman would be happy about this? I’m not Insane. This is a huge challenge to my personal
charm, of course I’m not happy!” Seraphina said, “But, I’m good at accepting reality. Since it has
happened, I can only accept it, right?”
