Chapter 252
Sandra was sitting across from Seraphina, watching her chat with Leandro. Seraphina’s tone was both calm and cute, which got Sandra thinking.
Sandy saw this and realized that Magnolia’s issue was probably sorted. She was also itching to share some fresh gossip with her colleagues. So after giving Sandra a nod, she excitedly went out first.
Sandra kept her eyes on Seraphina until she ended her call, then slowly asked, “Leandro’s asking Magnolia for the money back, is it his way of showing you his feelings?”
Seraphina looked at the check in her hand, and smiled faintly, “Maybe.”
“Do you accept this gesture of his?” Sandra asked, her brows furrowed, her eyes fixed on Seraphina.
She remembered the last time they talked, Seraphina wasn’t too pleased. But now, she seemed to have forgotten all about it
Seraphina was acting even more natural than before. It was as if Magnolia wasn’t a hurdle in her relationship with Leandro, but rather made them closer?
“A man like Leandro, he knows asking for money back isn’t the most gentlemanly thing to do, yet he still did it. This act alone should tell you how he feels, shouldn’t it?” Seraphina said.
“But Leandro and Magnolia, although it was in the past, but it did happen.” Sandra said, “Seraphina, did he…did he sweet-talk you again, is that why you can’t think straight?”
Hearing that, Seraphina looked at her in surprise, then laughed. “What’s gotten into you? You weren’t acting like this when you were dealing with him.”
Sandra, who once was hostile towards Leandro along with her, was actually the first to warm up towards him.
“I’m afraid Magnolia’s only the beginning Sandra said, ‘His past is so complicated, with you and possibly others. If more women like Magnolia show up…can you handle that?”
Seraphina shrugged, “We’ll see, If I can handle it, I’ll stay. If not, Ill leave him.”
Sandra stopped in her tracks and slowly said, “Are you sure you can take another hit like that?”
Seraphina looked at her, ‘Am I that fragile in your eyes?”
Sandra lowered her head and let out a sigh.
Just as Seraphina was about to say something, her phone rang.
She picked up her phone and saw a video sent by Valerio’s teacher.
In the video, a bunch of kids were performing in a small play. Some were animals, some were insects, and some were plants.
And Valerio was playing a tree. Although he was just a part of the backdrop, he was standing behind the kids, his eyes sparkling, and he was even smiling from time to time.
After watching the video, Seraphina opened a voice message from the teacher.
“Mrs. Reynolds, we had a little show today, Valerio was very enthusiastic. I think his mood has improved a lot recently, I believe he will make more progress and start talking one day”
Seraphina couldn’t help but smile, and showed the video to Sandra.
After watching the video, Sandra’s thoughts were even more confused, “If his mother shows up in the future, how are you going to handle it?”
“What can I do?” Seraphina answered, “I’m not the one making decisions, am 1?”
“Do you really have no clue who his mother is?” Sandra asked again, ‘Does Leandro really not know, or is he just not telling you?”
Seraphina just smiled faintly. “He wouldn’t keep me in the dark about something like this, after all, the kid’s right here, what’s the point of lying?”
She paused for a bit, then said, “I’m guessing, he was probably set up, but the appearance of this child is indeed very strange-he just found this kid on the street, and it turns out this kid is his own son…”
“Found him on the street?” Sandra asked in surprise.
“Didn’t I tell you?” Seraphina opened the video again, “He found this kid on the street by chance, and after bringing him home, his family had a paternity test done, and it turns out that the kid is he’s his own son.”
“This… Sandra took a deep breath, “This is unbelievable…”
“If it’s a coincidence, then maybe the person who set him up again, so he happened to run into this kid.” Seraphina shrugged, “When you think about it, it’s like it was meant to be, isn’t it?”

“When did he find this kid?” Sandra asked.
“At the end of this month.” Seraphina answered.
“This month?” Sandra asked in surprise.
“On March 28th, he brought the kid home, so we decided to make that his birthday.” Seraphina said, “It’s coming up, come to think of it, I haven’t gotten a gift yet. The little guy’s been getting more and more temperamental. He’ll throw a fit at me. If I don’t get him a good gift, he might stay mad for a while.”
As she talked, Seraphina opened her shopping website bookmarks to look for some gift suggestions she’d saved before.
“Seriously, kids this age don’t lack anything, I really don’t know what to get him.”
As she browsed and talked, she looked up to see Sandra looking a bit dazed, and a bit pale.
“Sandra?” She called Sandra, who suddenly looked up at her, looking even worse.
Seraphina frowned slightly, pointing at her face, ‘What’s wrong with you?”
Sandra reached a hand to her face, looking a bit zapped, merely muttered, “… must’ve eaten something bad. I’m having stomach-ache, I need to use the washroom…”
“Are you okay?” Seraphina looked at her, “Do you need me to take you to the hospital?”
“it’s okay,” Sandra replied, “I just need to use the washroom, I might feel better after.”
Seraphina just nodded, not saying anything more.
Sandra left her office and headed straight for the bathroom.
As soon as she entered, she bolted to the sink, turned on the faucet, letting the cold water splash onto her face.
The chilly water seeped into her collar, but she didn’t notice, just staring at herself in the mirror.
Her mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, as if many things were clear, yet many things were also incomprehensible.
She tried to keep her cool, taking deep breaths, washing her face with cold water, and at last, she finally started to calm down.
After a while, with her now freezing hands, she took out her phone from her bag, and dialed Bowen’s number.
There was a delay before he answered, unclear what he was doing, he sounded a bit winded, “Sandra?”
“Bowen… She suddenly felt a chill running through her veins, only managed to call him once, then fell silent.
After a moment, Bowen finally spoke again, “What’s up?”
“Come pick me up. I need to see you,” Sandra said.
“Now?” Bowen asked, “I can’t really make it over right now.”
