Chapter 370
Hearing Seraphina’s words, Andrea gave her a helpless look and said, “The person she was talking about paying the
price, that includes: Seraphina leaned back into the couch and casually said, “As long as she can get rid of Bowen, I
don’t really care.”
you,
right?”
“Do you really not care?” Andrea said, “You need to think about it before you say that.”
Hearing this, Seraphina hesitated a bit. She turned her head to see Valerio staring at her, seemingly waiting for her
response too.
Seraphina cleared her throat lightly and then gently touched Valerio’s head, saying, “Of course I care, I can’t just
leave our Valerio alone, right?”
Valerio nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Andrea couldn’t help but laugh, and then said, “Although she usually just talks tough, if you really piss
her off, she might actually do something crazy. You need to be clear about that.”
Hearing this, Seraphina thought for a while and then slowly said, “So if I go back home now, wouldn’t that be like
walking into a trap?”
Andrea looked at her in surprise, “You’re planning to go back?”
Seraphina paused for a moment, then touched Valerio’s head again and answered, “Even though I want to stay
here, the school starts soon. Our Valerio is about to become a primary school student. How could a responsible
elementary student miss his first day of school?”
Hearing this, remembering her conversation with Valerio the night before, Andrea couldn’t help but laugh.
“Alright.” Andrea said, “For the sake of this elementary school kid, you should go back.”
Seraphina glanced at him, stood up, and decisively said, “Let’s eat!”
Once the decision to go back to Sunburst City was made, those boring days seemed to have a new purpose, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAndrea’s time here became short and precious. In these last few days, Seraphina took Valerio with her,
accompanying Andrea to sightsee nearby for a few days.
After that day, Leandro never called Seraphina again. He occasionally saw her when he was video chatting with
Valerio, but he never brought up the topic from that night again.
Seraphina knew that he didn’t want to pressure her, so she didn’t say much, just waiting to discuss it when she got
back.
The day before departure, all three of them went shopping.
Valério was very thoughtful. Since it was only him and Seraphina traveling abroad this time, he wanted to bring a
gift back for everyone in the family. As a result, he spent most of the day picking out satisfactory gifts due to his
high standards.
Seraphina and Andrea accompanied him shopping for the entire day. By nightfall, they were almost exhausted.
When they got back to their house, all three of them collapsed onto the couch, just in time for the butler to
unexpectedly knock on the door and walk in.
“Madam.” The butler held an envelope in his hand and said to Seraphina, “Someone delivered this while you were
out, saying it was for you.”
Seraphina looked at the envelope and frowned slightly, then slowly reached out and took it.
The envelope was a regular one, very thin. The thing inside was a bit hard. As soon as Seraphina touched it, she
knew it was a photo.
What could it be this time?
As she pondered, she started to open the envelope.
The moment she held the photo from inside in her hand, Seraphina froze.
The photo was a shot of a regular restaurant. Most of the seats were empty, but in the corner sat two people, a
man and a woman.
The man’s face was clearly visible. It was Bowen in casual wear.
And the woman next to him was wearing a baseball cap, obscuring her eyes and eyebrows, only revealing the lower
half of her face.
Even though only the nose and mouth were visible, the contours of that face were too familiar to Seraphina.
For a moment, many questions flooded her mind, and Seraphina was somewhat at a loss.
When was this photo taken?
Why would someone send this photo to her?
What was the purpose?
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Andrea called out to her, “Sera, what is it?”
Seraphina came to and handed the photo in her hand to Andrea.
Andrea took it and glanced at it, quickly recognizing the man, “Bowen?”
Seraphina nodded.
Andrea asked again, “And who’s this girl next to him?”
Looks like Sandra.” Seraphina said.
Hearing this, Andrea gave her a look, “How could that be?”
“Why not?” Seraphina rubbed her temples and said, “Who knows when this photo was taken.”
“This photo couldn’t have been taken in the past.” Andrea laid the photo in front of Seraphina and pointed to
Bowen, “Because this outfit Bowen is wearing is this
summer’s new release.”
Hearing this, Seraphina looked up at her sharply, then picked up the photo and looked at it closely a few more times
before speaking again, “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” After Andrea confidently answered, she quickly picked up the tablet next to her and under Seraphina’s
gaze, found the brand’s official website and searched for the top that Bowen was wearing in the photo.
Seraphina took the tablet and carefully compared the two.
In theory, Andrea was in the fashion industry and Seraphina should trust her judgement. But for something this
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmimportant, Seraphina didn’t want to make a rash
conclusion.
She scanned the received photo into the computer, enlarged it, and carefully compared it with the image on the
brand’s official website.
The result confirmed that the top Bowen was wearing in the photo was indeed this summer’s new release.
Which means that this photo was taken during this summer. It could have been two months ago, a month ago, or
even just a few days ago –
But how could that be possible?
Seraphina kept looking at the lower half of the woman’s face in the photo.
Sandra died in early April. How could she appear in a recently taken photo?
“If the woman in the photo isn’t her, then who the heck could it be?
Could there really be another girl in this world who’s a dead ringer for Sandra, so much so that even Seraphina
could get them mixed up?
Suddenly, Seraphina was filled with doubts, making it hard for her to catch her breath,
Andrea stared at the photo, her insides a mess of confusion, but she was at a loss for words.
Even if it was a question Seraphina herself didn’t have the answer to, no matter how much she puzzled over it, it
would just be a waste of time.
Seraphina sat quietly in front of the computer, motionless for a long time.
Valerio wanted to go over and cheer her up, but Andrea stopped him.
Just as Andrea was about to tell Valerio to take a breather, Seraphina, who had been slumped over, suddenly sat up
and began examining the photo on the computer screen carefully.
She zoomed in on every single detail in the photo, taking note of each one.
“Sera?” Andrea called to her softly.
Seraphina was totally engrossed in annotating the details in the photo. When she finally spoke, her voice was a bit
frosty, “If we want to figure out what’s going on, then let’s start from square one. I’ll look up which-restaurant this
is and where it’s located. One step at a time, we’ll get to the bottom of this.”
