Chapter 378
Herman was about to call Leandro when he saw Leandro’s car drive through the gate. He initially thought Leandro
and Seraphina might have had a fight, but seeing Leandro rushing over in a shirt, he thought otherwise.
Leandro’s style was always meticulous, even if there was a slight wrinkle on his suit, he would change it, not to
mention the slight water stain on the shirt he just put on.
Herman was a bit puzzled. He wanted to follow in to see what was happening, but didn’t want to disturb them at
this time, so he went to the corner to
smoke.
He had just taken a few puffs when he saw Andrea coming out of the gate, standing under the eaves.
Herman hid in the shadows, carefully observing the woman.
He had once warned Seraphina that this woman had feelings for Leandro, but Seraphina seemed to trust this
woman too much.
The women of the Martin family… The thought of it sent shivers down Herman’s spine.
What kind of daughters could the Martin family raise? Tania was a perfect example.
And Andrea, although ordinary on the surface, was probably even more terrifying.
As Herman watched Tania’s back, he pondered.
As he was deep in thought, a familiar song suddenly played from the office building’s entrance-
“The long night, the stars will never stop, I ask why people cannot exist forever, I hope we leave a light to illuminate
the dark night…”
Herman heard the sound, looked at Andrea, and saw her take out her phone from her bag and answer it.
Herman instantly became alert.
The call was from Simon. After Andrea answered the call, she said, “Dad.”
Simon asked about the situation on the other end of the phone. After Andrea truthfully answered, she finally said,
/Dad, my uncles Lionel and Teague are here, I can’t help much here.”
Simon didn’t say much, just said, “Then you go back and rest early.”
Andrea responded, quickly hung up the phone.
But as soon as she put down her phone, she heard a snicker from behind.
Andrea turned her head and saw Herman coming out of the shadows.
Herman, with a cigarette in his hand, squinted at her and said, “You won’t even help your own cousin. You’re really
fair.”

other/motives for getting close to Seraphina. No matter what I do, I will be criticized. I don’t need to care about
what others think.”
After saying this, she made a goodbye gesture to Herman-and turned to walk towards the gate.
“Wait!” Seeing her ready to leave, Herman suddenly called her.
Andrea stopped, but didn’t look back.
Looking at her back, Herman seemed a bit hesitant, but finally asked, “When did you start using that ringtone?”
Hearing this question, Andrea’s gaze wavered slightly. The next moment, she chuckled, turned to look at Herman, “I
heard this song in your car that day and thought it was nice, so I set it as my ringtone. The copyright of the song
doesn’t belong to you, so even if you mind, I’m not planning to change it.” Hearing her say this, Herman’s face
instantly became serious and he turned and went into the office.
Andrea watched his figure disappear from view, stood quietly for a moment, then slowly turned and left.
When Herman returned to the office, Leandro was about to leave with Seraphina.
Just as they were about to leave, Lionel suddenly came out.
“Mr. Reynolds, Lionel called to Leandro, “Mrs. Reynolds was frightened tonight, I’m very sorry. Can I explain what
happened?”
Hearing his words, Leandro didn’t look back at him, but turned to look at Seraphina who was standing next to him.
Seraphina slightly lifted her chin and glanced at him.
“My wife is the victim,” Leandro slowly said, “I have no intention of accepting any explanations.”
Hearing his response, Seraphina gave a satisfied smile.

Lionel clenched his teeth secretly, once again approached Seraphina, “Mrs. Reynolds, can I explain to you?”
At this point, Seraphina suddenly put on a scared look and shrunk back behind Leandro.
Leandro immediately stepped forward to protect Seraphina.
Séraphina was about to speak when the door of the interrogation room suddenly opened and Tania was brought out
by the police. Tania, who had just come out, saw Seraphina and immediately rushed towards her, but was stopped
by the police officer next to her. Tanja!” Teague followed closely behind, grabbed Tania and sternly said, “Stop
making a scene!”
Unlike her usual sweet and gentle appearance, Tania now looked disheveled, her eyes red and swollen, looking very
haggard.
She stared at Seraphina, her tears suddenly falling.
Seraphina watched coldly, without any reaction.
“Where’s Bowen?” Tania finally spoke up, her voice hoarse, “Tell me where he is, please, tell me—”
Seraphina was suddenly filled with rage.
Because when Tania asked this question, there was no anger, but full of sadness and sorrow, and her tone was
begging humbly.
“You’re chasing me and bumping into me just to know where Bowen is?” Seraphina asked.
Mentioning Bowen, Tania was already crying uncontrollably, but she still kept asking Seraphina, “Tell me, please tell
me…”
“Mrs. Reynolds, you see, Tania is just young and impulsive, why make a big deal out of this?” Lionel quickly said.
Seraphina ignored him and walked straight up to Tania.
Tania looked at Seraphina with tear-filled eyes and a face full of hope.
Seraphina only looked at her pitifully. “If you want to know his whereabouts to get back at him, I’d totally help you
track him down.”
Tania was instantly dumbfounded.
Herman on the side couldn’t help but cough a little, signaling Seraphina to watch her mouth.
“Too bad that’s not why you want to know.” Seraphina sighed, “So, I can’t help you.”
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Tania started to cry, holding her face in extreme sadness.
Just as Seraphina left the office, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and picked up the call, “Mr. Gray.”
“Sera.” Patrick’s voice came through the speaker, “I heard you had a little accident there, just checking in to make
sure you’re okay.”
Seraphina let out a small breath, “You’re not just worried about me, are you? You want to plead for your niece,
don’t you?”
Patrick paused slightly, “If you think that’s my intention, I wouldn’t deny it.”
“Don’t you also despise the Martin family?” Seraphina couldn’t help but say.
“Sera, Tania is my sister’s daughter.” Patrick said, “I care about her, but I’m not here begging for your forgiveness. I
know your character well enough.”
“Right.” Seraphina said, “So no matter whether you call or not, my decision won’t change. But thanks for your
concern.
Patrick chuckled helplessly, “Okay, as long as you’re fine.”
After hanging up, Seraphina let out a breath, turned around, and saw Herman with a worried look.
Herman gave her a look, and-only then did Seraphina notice Leandro standing next to her.
Leandro’s eyes were deep. He watched her finish the call, then looked at her and blandly asked, “Ready to go
home?”
“Hold on.” Seraphina turned to Herman and the cop beside him, “Let’s drop it.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Seraphina’s words fell, Leandro’s gaze deepened even more.
“Ms. Martin might have lost her mind because of love.” Seraphina said, “If I fuss about it, I’d look just as irrational.”
The cop nodded, quickly turning around to handle the situation.
Herman glanced at Leandro’s back and whispered to Seraphina, “Are we really just letting it go?”
“What else can we do?” Seraphina glanced, towards the office, “An irrational woman who didn’t really cause any
real harm.”
Herman looked in Leandro’s direction again.
Suddenly Seraphina remembered something and turned to Leandro, “Wait, she wrecked our car!”
Leandro finally turned around and looked at her.
Seraphina walked up to him, “Make them pay for it! At the highest rate! They better replace it with a new one! All
the parts must be replaced according to the original standard, not a bit less!”

car.
Both Conway and Valerio were asleep. Seraphina first tiptoed to check on Conway, then walked into Valerio’s room.
There were tear stains on Valerio’s sleeping face, as if he was sad that he couldn’t wait for her.
Seraphina gently touched his little face, tucked him in, turned off the light, and walked out.
As soon as she entered the door, Leandro came over.
“Which side do you want to sleep on?” Leandro asked.
Seraphina replied, “Either is fine.”
Then, Leandro took her hand and led her to his bedroom.
Once in the bedroom and with the door closed, Seraphina walked to the wardrobe, opened the door and looked for
her pajamas.
Since they usually stayed in her room, the wardrobe space in this bedroom was limited. The maid had put

Seraphina tiptoed to try to get her clothes, but she couldn’t reach it.
Leandro came over and handed her a red silk nightgown.
“I’m not used to wearing this one.” Seraphina said, “I’ll get something else.”
As she was about to turn around and leave, Leandro stopped her.
“If you’re not comfortable wearing it, then don’t wear anything.” Leandro said.
