Chapter 366
A few days later, Seraphina welcomed her first guest at her home in Velvetwood.
The only person who’d travel all this way to see her in Velvetwood, of course, was Andrea.
Seraphina and Valerio went to the airport to pick up Andrea. Valerio was quite fond of Andrea, so he was in high spirits.
This time, with Leandro absent and the house being so big, Andrea naturally moved in with Seraphina and Valerio.
After Seraphina showed Andrea around the house and let her choose a room, she said, “Feel free to do whatever you want here. I guess you won’t be shy about it. But be careful when you go down to the living room, just in case someone sees you, you might get hurt.”
Andrea frowned at this, “Is there someone peeping across the street?”
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh and nodded, “Yeah, there’s one.”
After they finished unpacking Andrea’s luggage, the two adults and the kid went out for shopping and lunch..
Andrea herself didn’t care about the details, so she wasn’t particular about buying daily necessities. But she saw Seraphina being meticulous about what to buy and what not to, just like a housewife.
“When did you become so good at this?” Andrea asked, bemused.
Seraphina scoffed at this, “Is there anything I can’t do well? I just didn’t have time before. Once I settle down, I can be whatever I want.”
Andrea watched as she put some of Valerio’s health food into the shopping cart, paused before saying, “Looks like you’ve really settled down?”
“What else?” Seraphina replied, “No work, no assignments, no annoying people and things, it’s hard for me not to settle down.”
“Annoying people and things… including Leandro?”
Seraphina was reading product labels, upon hearing this, she didn’t look up, just chuckled and said, “Of course, he’s included.”
Andrea wasn’t sure if she was serious or just joking, after a moment of thought she said, “A few days ago, Dad had dinner with Leandro.” Hearing this, Seraphina looked at her in surprise, “They made up?”
Andrea nodded, continued, “Probably because Bowen’s intention to use the Martin Group was too obvious, dad and the others realized it. Plus Leandro’s mad revenge, so dad didn’t want things to get worse.”
Seraphina was silent for a while, then said, “Bowen indeed has a hold on Leandro’s weakness, but Leandro’s weakness is also his defense line, anyone who touches this line will surely get hit.”
Andrea didn’t understand this and didn’t comment, only asked, “Now that Bowen’s issue is temporarily resolved, when are you planning to return to Sunburst City?”
“I haven’t thought about it.” Seraphina said, “I didn’t plan this. And you just got here, how could I leave right away? That’s not right, is it?”
“I don’t have anything important.” Andrea said, “I’m free, and I can go wherever I want. The key is whether you want to go back or not.”
Seraphina turned to look at her, then slowly said, “Maybe I should never have gone back in the first place.”
Hearing this, Andrea glanced at Valerio, who was playing with toys by the shelf, and whispered, “If you hadn’t gone back, how would you have met him?” Seraphina looked at Valerio, smiled softly, and said, “He’s my responsibility. I didn’t have any responsibilities before, but now…”
Her grandfather was her responsibility, so was Valerio, even…
“Having no responsibilities is not a good thing.” Andrea softly said, “Having no responsibilities means you’re alone. Such a life may not necessarily be easier.” Seraphina was silent for a while, didn’t say anything.
Andrea snapped out of her thoughts, asked, “What about Leandro? You’ve been here for so long, hasn’t he urged you to come back?”
Hearing this, Seraphina chuckled, “He might not want me to return…”
Just as she finished speaking, she looked up and saw a figure moving through the shelves out of the corner of her eye, and she froze.
The next moment, she let go of the shopping cart and walked towards where the figure disappeared.
Andrea and Valerio were surprised to see her suddenly walk away.
Andrea didn’t think much of it, she grabbed Valerio and chased after Seraphina.
After passing through a dozen shelves, they found Seraphina.
She stood among the large shelves, looking lost.
“Sera.” Andrea quickly grabbed her hand, which was cold, “What’s wrong? Did you see someone?”
Seraphina was breathing fast, looking a bit pale, she looked at Andrea for a moment, then slowly shook her head.
“I just spaced out, I thought I saw… Sandra.” said Seraphina.
Just now, that figure flashed past her, with long hair down to her shoulders, slightly curly at the ends, wearing a ginger-colored dress. Sandra had one too, and she loved it very much.
From the outfit to the silhouette, it looked a lot like Sandra.
Andrea knew Sandra, and she was surprised to hear Seraphina say this.
She was about to comfort Seraphina, who had already regained her composure, took a deep breath, and said, “How could that be? I must have seen it wrong.
“Don’t overthink it.” Andrea said, “Is there anything else we need to buy? Let’s finish shopping and head back to rest
Seraphina took a deep breath, then started laughing, “No problem, we rarely go shopping, so let’s take our time and head back when we’re done.*
Andrea knew that Seraphina was pretty good at keeping her cool, so when she saw her calming down, she didn’t push it any further.
The three of them hit the supermarket until it was dinner time, then they ate at the most popular restaurant nearby before heading home.
After the little incident at the supermarket, Seraphina seemed to bounce back pretty quickly, but Andrea couldn’t shake the feeling that she was quieter than usual,
Luckily, Andrea had just landed and was planning on going to bed pretty early, with no other plans for the night. After watching Valerio head off to bed, Seraphina also decided to rest early.
Seraphina slept like a log, deep in dreamland.
However, in the middle of the night, her phone suddenly rang.
Startled out of her deep sleep, Seraphina picked up her phone in a daze and noticed it was a strange local number.
Checking the time, it was already past one in the morning. She was initially planning to ignore it, but for some reason, she picked up.
The call was connected, but the other end was quiet, completely silent. It was like talking to a ghost.
