Chapter 389
Leandro was dumbstruck looking at Seraphina like this.
In that moment, he seemed to realize something, but the feeling was too vague and unreal, so he didn’t grasp it.
Seraphina cried for a long time holding Valerio, his tears gradually stopped, but Seraphina still couldn’t control her emotions.
The nanny tried to comfort Seraphina, but retreated back to the room after seeing Leandro shake his head.
It wasn’t until Valerio slowly recovered, reaching out to touch Seraphina’s face, that her crying gradually stopped. But when she looked at Valerio, she still couldn’t
control her tears.
Valerio still looked upset. Seraphina tenderly pulled his hand over, kissed it, then cradled his face, showering him with kisses.
Seeing this, the feeling that Leandro couldn’t grasp before became clearer and clearer.
He turned his head to look at Abbot standing not far away.
Abbot seemed to notice his gaze and quickly looked over. Seeing Leandro’s gaze, he shook his head with some difficulty, indicating he didn’t know what was going
1.
Leandro didn’t expect an answer from him.
He just looked back at Seraphina, who was holding Valerio tightly, and he knew in his heart what was going on.
By the time Valerio was led by Seraphina into the room, Conway had been waiting on the sofa for a long time, and the nanny was standing by, watching Seraphina
with concern.
But all of Seraphina’s attention was on Valerio. This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
She pulled Valerio into her arms, not caring about her own tears, just continually asking him “Does your hand still hurt? Really not hurting? What about your knee? Does it hurt?”
After Valerio answered each question, Seraphina held him in her arms again, uncontrollably kissing his head and hands. Then, she suddenly realized something and nervously asked Valerio, “Why are you sweating so much? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
The nanny quickly said, “He’s been crying so long, of course he’s sweating! He’s fine. I’ll take him upstairs to have a bath to prevent him from getting sick.”
“No, I’ll take him to bathe,” Seraphina said softly.
Then, touching Valerio’s face, she gently said, “Mummy will give you a bath.”
Valerio nodded and obediently followed Seraphina upstairs.
From beginning to end, the other three people in the room were ignored.
It wasn’t until then that Conway sensed something.
Previously, although Valerio had started regarding Seraphina as his “mummy”, and the other people in the house had started referring to her as his mummy, Seraphina had never called herself his mummy in
front of Valerio. Even when Valerio called her, she would respond happily, but calling herself Valerio’s mummy like today was the first time.
Unable to resist, Conway looked at Leandro and asked, “What happened?”
Leandro had an answer in his heart, but it still needed to be confirmed.
He glanced at Conway, didn’t respond, and just turned and went upstairs.
After Seraphina led Valerio into his room, she said to him, “I’ve prepared the clothes for you to change into after your bath.”
Valerio stood obediently, looking a bit surprised.
In the past, Seraphina might have let him pick up his own clothes, fill the tub himself, and then wash himself…
But now…
Valerio was thinking at the foot of the bed and turned to see. Leandro standing at the door.
Leandro signaled him, and Valerio obediently went out.
“Valerio!” Seeing Valerio leave, Seraphina wanted to stop him immediately, but then saw Leandro come in and gently close the door.
Seraphina looked anxious, “Where did you take Valerio? I still have to give him a bath! He’ll get sick!”
While speaking, she tried to get past Leandro to find Valerio, as if afraid Valerio would disappear.
Her state was indeed very different from before.
Leandro stood still, just calmly said, “Valerio’s just outside the door. First tell me, what did Sandra do?”
She had gone to see Sandra today, and after she had seen Sandra, her entire state had become like this.
All the possibilities Leandro could think of were related to Sandra.
Hearing Sandra’s name, Seraphina’s expression changed slightly and she became a little downcast.
She turned her face away, avoiding Leandro’s gaze, and after a while, she said in a low voice, “Guess what she did?”
Leandro’s eyes flickered, he asked quietly, “About Valeno?”

Seraphina didn’t respond, but as soon as she heard this name, tears uncontrollably flowed down again.
Seven years, Valerio was already seven years old.
For the past seven years, he had been lonely and silent, longing for his mother;
And she, after three years of busy time, was plunged into endless pain, lost and wasting her life.
He was supposed to be with her.
Even in the early years, she might not have been a good mother, but he was always with her.
He would make her laugh, cry, be with her from his first steps to learning to speak, he could call her “mummy” over and over again…
All of this should not have turned out like it is today.
And all of this was caused by the person she trusted the most.
All these years, all the warmth. and care of that person, at this moment, all turned into painful memories.
Seraphina felt like she was a joke.
”
In the past few years, she always thought she was clever and observant, but in the end, she couldn’t truly understand the people around her, missing out on these seven years with Valerio.
Sandra, the culprit, still hoped to be forgiven!
Seraphina cleaned the tears off her face, then looked at Leandro again, saying, “I can’t cry anymore. If I do, it’ll scare the bejesus out of Valerio…”
The moment her tears fell, Leandro knew what his heart was telling him.”
Over the years, his heart had been as steady as a rock.
Only the thought of Betty would stir something in him.
Yet now, he got a significant piece of info, but there was no ripple in his heart.
Just like seven years ago.
Seven years ago, when he first discovered Valerio’s identity, he had his doubts too.
He investigated many people, including some he’d only met once.
In the end, his thoughts unwillingly drifted to Seraphina.
It had been a long time since he had thought of Seraphina.
Her bright eyes, filled with a shy laughter, suddenly flashed in his mind, but his heart didn’t budge.
However, a sudden emptiness was felt somewhere deep down.
This emptiness was suffocating, leaving no room for any emotional turmoil.
The last person he wanted to investigate about Valerio’s identity, was Seraphina.
