NovelEnglishChapter 47
Even though Seraphina was a real head–turner, Balch was still head over heels for her
That evening Balch personally dropped by the new house Seraphina picked out.
Seraphina was busy planning how to fill up the emply house Balch didn’t interrupt her. Instead, he
strolled around the house before asking “Why’d you pick this place?”
“I heard the surroundings are top–notch Seraphina glanced at him, “Don’t you like it here?”
Balch simply smirked, “As long as you’re happy with it”
Seraphina shot him a look and chuckled, “Of course, it’s my house, so I don’t need to consider your
preferences.”
Balch caught her double entendre and asked with a smile, “What do you mean by that?”
Seraphina, flipping through a furniture catalogue, didn’t even look up when she replied, “You’re not
planning on moving, so I get the final say on the house”
“The house was meant for you.” Balch said, “Of course you yet the final say”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuddenly, Seraphina slammed shut the catalogue, tossed it aside, and looked around the spacious
house, “I think the house is too big. How about you move in with me?
Wanna?”
Balch just stared at her, the smile never leaving his face.
“Say something” Seraphina demanded.
Balch adjusted his glasses and replied, “What do you want me to say? You didn’t really mean to invite
me.”
“Like you’re one to talk Seraphina retorted, “Does giving me a house makes you sincere?”
Balch didn’t respond.
“Forget it, this is pointless. Seraphina stood up, “We haven’t known each other for long. I shouldn’t ask
too much. Take me home.“..
With that, she grabbed her purse and walked out the door.
Batch, being a gentleman, didn’t argue and drove her home as she requested.
When they arrived at Seraphina’s apartment, she was about to step out of the car when she spotted a
figure. Immediately, she plopped back into her seat, visibly irritated.
Following her gaze, Balch saw Karan.
Due to her ties with the Reynolds family. Balch didn’t question Karan’s presence, instead, he asked
Seraphina, “Don’t wanna see her?
“You’re her neighbor, you should know how she can be.” Seraphina replied, “Take me to a hotel.
Balch slowly suggested, “How about my place?”
Seraphina cast another glance at him, remarking, “While it’s often said that the most dangerous place
is the safest, I don’t wish to disrupt your tranquility.”
By this point, Seraphina’s concerns were pretty much laid out in the open, and Balch was certainly not
the one to overlook such signals
“We both have histories,” Balch noted, “You’re aware of that. Why fret?”
“Who doesn’t carry a past?” retorted Seraphina, “But I know to focus on what’s ahead, something you
might not.“.
Balch simply responded with a smile, countering, “How can you be so sure that I don’t?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeraphina fell silent for a moment, decided to drop the subject, and turned to Balch with a smile,
“Nevermind, invite me over when you’re truly ready. I’ll stay in a hotel tonight.”
Balch didn’t respond, but he reached out to smooth Seraphina’s hair.
Suddenly, Seraphina furrowed her brows.
“What’s wrong?” Balch asked.
Seraphina shook her head, “Nothing, just a sudden stomachache.”
“Forgot dinner again, didn’t you?”
Seraphina turned her face away, choosing not to respond.
“TIl take you to the hotel, Balch offered “You can have some light food and take some stomach
medicine.”
Seraphina complained, “Stop treating me like I’m sick, always making me take medicine.”
“Your lifestyle is a mess, and so is your diet.” Balch said, “You’re either having a stomachache or a
headache, you’re practically just like a sick person already” Hearing this, Seraphina leaned closer to
Balch, looked up at him, and asked, “Do you still want me, a sick person?”
Balch just smiled in response.
