Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Valerio was quietly sitting in Bruce’s lap reading a book, but as soon as he saw Leandro, he dropped the book and ran over to him, looking at him expectantly.
Leandro could tell from Valerio’s expression that he hadn’t talked to Seraphina today, which was probably why he looked down and his eyes lacked sparkle.
Leandro reached out and patted Valerio’s head, saying in a deep voice, “You’ll see your mom tonight.”
Valerio’s eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this.
Bruce, hearing this, also broke into a smile, “Seraphina is coming back tonight? Perfect, we can all sit down for a family dinner.”
Leandro didn’t react much to this, just patted Valerio’s head again, “You need a haircut, I’ll take you to the barbershop later.”
Valerio was already very excited about the news of Seraphina’s return, so he nodded quickly to whatever Leandro said.
Soon, Leandro took Valerio out the door. When Conway came downstairs, only Bruce was left sitting in the living room.
“Didn’t Leandro come back?” Conway asked, “Where did he go?”
Bruce chuckled and said, “He seems a bit mad at me, didn’t want to see me, so he took Valerio out.”
Conway frowned when he heard this, glanced at Bruce, and went back upstairs.
Bruce seemed used to this kind of situation and didn’t mind it at all. He shrugged, picked up the glass of water in front of him, and drank quietly.
Leandro took Valerio to the barbershop he often went to. The barber, Fabian, was an old man who laughed when he saw Valerio, “Oh, you’re getting ready to go back to school, thinking about a new hairstyle?”
Valerio shook his head vigorously at the mention of a new hairstyle.
Fabian couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re just like your dad-got it, got it, no new hairstyle, I’ll just trim it a bit.”
Only then did Valerio sit down in the barber chair with a smile of relief.
Fabian was arranging his tools and looked at Leandro who was sitting on the couch looking at his phone, and asked, “You haven’t been here for a while, have you been busy?”
Leandro looked up slowly when he heard this and looked at himself in the mirror.
According to his habit, he should come once a month, but he had been too busy lately and hadn’t come for more than a month.
And today was a good time.
“I’ll get a haircut too after Valerio’s done.” Leandro replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Valerio secretly laughing in the mirror.
Leandro pretended not to see it and lowered his head to look at his phone again.
At nine o’clock in the evening, the plane carrying Patrick and Seraphina landed in Sunburst City on time.
As soon as they got off the plane, they saw that the car to pick up Patrick was already waiting, but Seraphina didn’t see who was coming to pick her up.. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Patrick seemed happy about this situation, he turned to Seraphina and said, “How about I give you a ride?”
Before Seraphina could answer, she saw a familiar car driving over from the corner of her eye.
The car quickly stopped, but only the driver got out in a hurry.
“Ma’am.” The driver came over and looked apologetic when he saw Seraphina, “I’m sorry, I’m late. Mr. Reynolds was going to bring the young master to pick you up, but he got a call and had to go back to Reynolds Vista Retreat, he really couldn’t leave…”
Seraphina nodded, then turned to Patrick, “My ride is here, no need to bother you, Mr. Gray.”
Patrick smiled slightly, nodded, and said, “If you need anything, feel free to call me.”
Seraphina simply nodded and got into the car.
Patrick didn’t get into his car until he saw Seraphina’s car drive away. He left the airport on the same route.
It wasn’t until the driver was alone with her that Seraphina spoke, “Did something happen to Leandro’s mother again?”
The driver hesitated a bit before nodding and saying, “It’s said that his mother wouldn’t take her medicine and threw a tantrum, that’s why Mr. Reynolds had to rush back.”
Seraphina looked a bit heavy when she heard this, “Isn’t his mother’s condition stable yet?”
“Not really…” the driver replied, “It’s just… today Mr. Reynolds’ father went to Reynolds Manor to mourn Ms. Magdalen…
“So his mother was upset?” Seraphina asked.
The driver silently nodded.
Seraphina didn’t say anything more and turned to look out the window.
After a while, she turned her gaze back and looked at her phone.
She unconsciously clicked on her phone a few times and somehow ended up in her conversation with Leandro,
Their chat record was still at the last place.
Leandro said: Just come back.
Seraphina stared at these words for a long time without speaking.
It wasn’t until a sudden “bang” came from behind and the car shook that everyone’s attention was drawn to it.
From behind, a white SUV hit their car hard.
Abbot immediately protected Seraphina and turned to look at the back.
After the two cars collided, the white SUV backed off a bit, but then charged forward again.
The driver was about to stop the car thinking it was a normal rear-end collision, but Abbot anxiously said, “Keep driving! Maintain a steady speed!”
The driver, realizing that something had happened, didn’t dare to be negligent and concentrated all his attention on driving the car smoothly.
The car body has been reinforced and even the glass is special bulletproof glass, so ordinary collisions won’t cause much impact to the people inside.
Seraphina snapped back to reality and looked back, “What’s happening?”
“Madam, don’t worry.” As Abbot was dialing up reinforcements, he assured her, “That car won’t harm us.”
Despite his reassurance, Seraphina couldn’t take her eyes off the relentless pursuer behind them.
That car looked familiar, like the car Tania Martin used to drive.
Blinded by the strong headlights from the car tailing them, Seraphina turned around. After a deep breath, she stopped Abbot who was in the middle of a call and commanded coldly, “Skip the reinforcements, call the cops directly.”
Before Abbot could react, Seraphina had ordered the driver, “Pull over and let her ram into us!”
The driver exclaimed in surprise, “Madam!”
Seraphina chuckled coldly, “I’m already in a bad mood. If she wants to provoke me, why shouldn’t I play along?”
The driver nervously brought the car to a stop. As expected, Tania’s car crazily charged forward and slammed into them again.
The car shuddered slightly, but to Seraphina, it felt like a gentle caress.
No wonder Leandro had a soft spot for this car. After the modifications, its safety rating was top-notch.
Behind them, Tania’s car was starting to crumple up. Even the airbags had deployed, but she still kept reversing and charging forward, ramming into Seraphina’s car again and again, until the police arrived.
Seraphina never once left the car. She drove directly into the police station with it.
