Seraphina wasn’t expecting him to show up. She was caught off guard, tossed the ruler in her hand aside, and huffed, “Really? Leandro, do you know how hard it is to look after your son?”
Only then did Leandro slowly enter the room.
The traditional house was quite spacious, with the room serving as both a bedroom and a living room. The fine furniture didn’t make it seem cramped.
Leandro walked up to Seraphina, his gaze landed on a sketchbook on the table, casually picking it up and flipping through a few pages.
It was Valerio’s sketchbook. The drawings were quite youthful, but they were colorful and interesting, much livelier than his previous works.
“I think you’ve been doing a good job raising Valerio,” Leandro said.
Seraphina shot him a glance, “Compared to you, I’m definitely doing a good job.”
After saying that, she was about to turn around and leave, but Leandro quickly pulled her into his arms.
Seraphina, used to her carefree life before returning, was taken aback by his familiar yet unfamiliar scent. But the fresh smell was particularly pleasant, and she couldn’t help but take a few deep breaths.
Leandro didn’t notice her reaction, he held her tightly then loosened his grip, concluding after another tight embrace, “You’ve lost weight.”
“No way.” Seraphina said, “I’ve been eating a lot every day.”
When Leandro heard this, he lifted her face again and looked at it carefully. Maybe his gaze was too intense, Seraphina started to feel uneasy. Just as she was about to turn her head away, Leandro leaned down and kissed her.
Her lips, originally soft and warm, instantly heated up upon contact.
Seraphina felt breathless as he pinned her against the wall.
It wasn’t until they heard familiar footsteps outside that Seraphina snapped back to reality and pushed him away.
Leandro gradually moved away from her, but didn’t leave her lips until the very last moment.
It was just a brief kiss, but it was enough to disrupt their breathing.
Seraphina looked at him, slightly out of breath, and asked teasingly, “Miss me much?”
Leandro wiped off the lipstick on his lips and replied calmly, “Yeah.”
Seraphina was surprised by his straightforward admission. Just as she was about to say something, Valerio appeared at the door holding a plate of pies.
When he suddenly saw Leandro, he was stunned then quickly ran over, presenting the plate to Seraphina and Leandro as if it were a treasure.
Leandro took the plate from him with a resigned look.
Seraphina pinched his cheek, “Whose are these? Did another little girl give them to you?”
Valerio nodded.
“Leandro, do you know your son is quite something?” Seraphina said, taking the plate from Leandro. “Three local girls are into him. They’re basically supporting me, I don’t have to worry about meals.
Leandro gave her a glance, “Stop talking nonsense.”
But Seraphina wasn’t joking. Just in time for dinner, Valerio was called away twice by two girls. When he came back, there were an extra beef pie and a serving of meat sauce noodles on the table.
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “See? Dinner’s sorted. And it’s quite a feast since you’re here!”
Leandro had planned to take them out for dinner, but now there was no need. So, Seraphina quickly set up in the small living room and dinner started.
Seraphina claimed to eat a lot every day, but she only had a pie and a few bites of noodles before putting down her fork. Valerio seemed to really enjoy the pasta, he was eating happily.
“Why does your son love the pasta here so much?” Seraphina said, “If he keeps eating like this, he will get fat quickly and his grandpa won’t recognize him when we get back to Sunburst City.”
Valerio wasn’t happy to hear Seraphina making fun of him for gaining weight. Just then, his friends called for him from outside, so he ran out with a piece of unfinished pie.
“Not only has he gained weight, he’s also got a bigger temper!” Seraphina said, “Did you see? He’s even starting to get mad at me!”
Leandro glanced at the yard and said quietly, “He’s become more outgoing here.”
‘He’s just a kid, of course he’s happier with friends around,” Seraphina said, “Being alone all the time, even the happiest kid has limits.”
Hearing this, Leandro looked at her but didn’t speak.
Seraphina quickly changed the subject, “You’re not used to eating this, are you? There’s a decent fast food place nearby. I can go get you something if you want?”
“No need.”
“Don’t be shy. It’s my treat. I can afford it!”
As she was about to get up, Leandro pulled her back, “Sit down. I’m not picky.”
Seraphina stared at him for a moment, “That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard all year.”
But Leandro didn’t make her laugh. He finished all the food on the table.
Seraphina was surprised, “How can you eat more than your son?”
As she was speaking, she began to clear the table. But before she could pick anything up, Leandro pulled her back.

“What’s the rush?” Seraphina said, “I still have to return the plates to the neighbors!”
“Let’s do that later.” Leandro said, “Let me hold you for a while.”
Hearing this, Seraphina first thought he was being impatient, then realized what he meant, “You’re leaving?”
“Hmm.” Leandro replied. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Seraphina didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh, “What are you here for then?”
Had he no qualms about causing such a fuss in just a few hours? Did having an airplane give him the right to act so capriciously?
Leandro didn’t respond, he simply extended an arm in invitation.
Seraphina hesitated for a moment, but eventually sat down beside him, allowing him to pull her into his embrace.
They both fell silent for a while. Seraphina breathed in the scent of his white shirt, and after a while, she spoke again, “Have you been busy lately?”
“Not too bad.”
“Has Yasmina been reminding you to eat on time?”
“Hmm.”
“Has grandpa been overseeing you and making sure you’re not pulling all-nighters?”
“Hmm.”
“Do you feel lonely at night?”
The nature of the questions suddenly changed, leaving Leandro momentarily speechless.
“If you feel lonely, you can call me.” Seraphina said, “I have all kinds of adult videos here, whatever you want, I can find it-”
Leandro suddenly pinched her face.
Sensing danger, Seraphina hurriedly said, “Don’t kiss me, I just ate garlic-”
“You didn’t.”
After saying these words, Leandro once again locked lips with her.
