Chapter 130
Late at night, Seraphina was getting quieter and quieter.
She really wanted to hear Leandro’s breathing, but it didn’t come. Instead, she fell asleep first,
regardless of whether Leandro was asleep or not.
In the morning, she was awakened by the sound of Leandro getting up. Looked at the bedside clock,
sure enough, on time six o ‘clock. She began to question if Leandro was even human….
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a hand on her forehead, warm.
Seraphina opened her eyes and glanced at him.
Leandro looked at her, didn’t say a word, just felt her ternperature was normal and then turned and
went into the bathroom.
With that, Seraphina didn’t feel like sleeping anymore, just lying in bed listening to the sound of water in
the bathroom.
The moment the water stopped, another sound suddenly came from the room, Seraphina was stunned
for a moment, before she realized it was her phone ringing.
She picked up the phone and saw a strange number, hesitated for a moment, but answered the call.
“Hello, Ms. Bennett?” A middle–aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “I’m a police
officer, do you know a woman named Magdalen?”
Seraphina immediately sat up.
Leandro came out of the bathroom and saw her listening to the phone attentively.
Forty minutes later, Leandro accompanied Seraphina to the police station that had just called her.
Magdalen was sitting in the police station office, her arms crossed, smoking a cigarette, her hair was a
bit messy, and her clothes. were wrinkled. When Seraphina and Leandro came in, she just glanced at
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthem and continued to smoke.
Sitting next to her was a man in his forties, very strong, but he looked fierce. Especially the three nail
scratches on his face made him look even more terrifying.
The policeman who called her described that the two had been drinking together last night, then had a
one–night stand, and when they woke up in the morning, Magdalen flatly denied their relationship,
leading to a heated argument. The man tried to avoid conflict, but Magdalen scratched his face with her
nails.
Seraphina showed no expression and turned her head to ask the police about the relevant procedures.
Leandro took a call, and when he hung up, Magdalen had just finished a cigarette. She looked at
Leandro and said, “You came with her, which means you live together, right?”
“What’s it to you?” Leandro countered.
Magdalen smirked, “I don’t care about that. I just think that compared to Seraphina, you are more
capable of getting me out of
here sooner.”
Just as she finished speaking, Leandro’s phone rang again. He glanced at her and walked away to
answer the call.
On the side, after Seraphina finished understanding the process, she turned around and returned to the
room, stood in front of Magdalen, “Are you sure you want to accuse that man of sexually assaulting
you?”
Upon hearing this, Magdalen glanced at the man next to her.
The man was a foreigner, and though he couldn’t understand their conversation, he was clearly
angered by Magdalen’s look, stood up suddenly, and shouted, “You disgusting woman! I never forced
you! You were the one who initiated it last night!”
His emotions were so intense that it was almost like a roar, but Magdalen maintained a cool and proud
attitude, and Seraphina was equally calm, looking at the angry man without any expression on her
face.
“Forget it.” After a while, Magdalen said, “I want to puke just looking at him. I just want to get out of
here as soon as possible.” Hearing this, Seraphina showed no emotion on her face. She went to the
man and directly began to discuss a solution with him. The man was clearly convinced that he was
innocent. Now that Magdalen said she wouldn’t pursue it, he was still upset about the scars on his face
and wasn’t willing to let it go so easily.
Leandro hung up the phone and saw Seraphina’s thin figure standing in front of the man, her face pale,
but still resolutely negotiating with the man. His face darkened.
Leandro stepped forward, pulled Seraphina behind him, “You go out first, I’ll talk to him.”
Upon hearing this, Seraphina turned around and left the office.
She walked straight to the entrance of the police station, took a breath of the outside air, then stopped
and quietly leaned there. After a while, Magdalen came out, apparently having reached a settlement
and was free to leave.
She walked out of the office building and saw Seraphina, she hesitated slightly.
Seraphina leaned against the wall, calmly looking at her, “I’m surprised you thought of asking me to
handle sormething like this.”
Magdalen looked at her coldly. “If you think it’s a hassle, consider it the last thing you’ll do for me. From
now on, we have nothing to do with each other, are you satisfied?”
Seraphina’s gaze fell on her face, she didn’t answer.
Magdalen apparently didn’t plan to wait for her answer, turned around and left.
Seraphina quietly watched her receding figure, turned her head, and met Leandro who had just walked
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmout.
Facing him, she quickly showed a smile, “Did you get it sorted out? Thanks.”
Leandro looked at her, reached out and touched her at the corner of her eye.
Despite the situation, her expression was still as usual, her eyes didn’t even turn red, and she even
smiled at him.
This was not how the old Seraphina would react.
But her calm demeanor made her seem too weak, unable to hide her frailty.
She was still somewhat similar to before, even if only a little.
Leandro quietly looked at her, couldn’t help but lower his head.
Seraphina smiled again..
“Mr. Reynolds, we haven’t even left the police station yet.” she said, “You’re not planning to make
another scandal, are you?”
After hearing her words, Leandro paused for a moment, and then kissed her anyway.
This kiss had no lustful undertones, it seemed like he just wanted to taste, to see just how deep her
bitterness ran.
But he didn’t get a taste.
She opened her mouth and gently bit him, as sweet and tender as ever.
After leaving the police station, the driver first dropped Leandro off at the office, then took Seraphina
back to her apartment to
rest.
As soon as Leandro got to the office, he went straight into a meeting room. The meeting had been
delayed waiting for him, so it went on until two in the afternoon.
When Keen brought the ordered lunch to Leandro’s office, Leandro was already on a video call with a
colleague from Europe.
Keen was about to leave after setting down the lunch, but Leandro suddenly hit the mute button,
glanced up at him, and said, “Give Laura a call. Ask her to arrange a doctor to give Seraphina a health
checkup.”
