Chapter 42
Seraphina turned around, first catching sight of a cane, then followed it upward to see the person wielding it.
The old man in front of her had white hair but was still full of vigour Without waiting for Seraphina to react, the cane was already swinging towards her again.
“What did you just say?” the old man demanded, swinging his cane as he spoke “You don’t want to see me? Now I want to see you, do you still have the interest?
Dodging a few swings, Seraphina finally managed to grab the cane, “Grandpal”
Conway retrieved his cane, leaning heavily on it, and asked, “So you remember that I’m your grandpa?”
Feeling a bit wronged, Seraphina looked at the old man for a moment, then stepped forward with a smile and held onto Conway’s arm, saying, “Grandpas, you’re my only grandpa‘
“Then why didn’t you come to see me when you came back?” Conway glanced at Seraphina.
“Grandpa, I’ve been busy, haven’t I?” Seraphina pouted, “And it’s not easy for me to go to Reynolds Vista Retreat to see you…”
Conway snorted coldly, “But it was convenient to meet with Leandro?”
Caught off guard by his question, Seraphina quickly changed the subject, “Grandpa, let’s not talk here. I rented an apartment here, would you like to go up and have a chat with me?”
Conway grunted but allowed Seraphina to help him into the apartment.
A video of Seraphina and Leandro had been posted online, attracting a lot of attention. Seraphina had expected someone from the Reynolds family to show up, but she didn’t expect it to be so quick, and that it would be Conway
For Seraphina, her past life in the Reynolds family was like a dream. It was filled with depression, but in that depression, there was warmth both Conway and Leandro’s father Bruce liked her a lot. Conway treated her like his own granddaughter, and Bruce treated her like his own daughter. But back then, Conway and Bruce were both very busy and didn’t spend much time at home, so their care for her was limited. Even so, after seven years, Seraphina could still feel their love and warmth.
She invited Conway into her apartment, then busied herself pouring water for him. Conway took this opportunity to look around the room.
The house is too small.” Conway commented after looking around.
Seraphina brought the water over, “It’s enough for me! Here, Grandpa, have some water.”
Conway took the glass from her, “Did you come back alone?”
Seraphina nodded, then realized what Conway was getting at and explained, “My mom lives in Starhaven, her life is very busy. She has lots of activities and appointments every day so she didn’t have time to come back.”
Conway listened, nodded, then asked, “What are you planning to do now that you’re back?”
Adjusting her hair slightly, Seraphina replied, “I don’t have any special plans. I just came back to attend my ex–boyfriend’s engagement ceremony, catch up with some old friends, and revisit the city where I grew up…”
Conway just watched Seraphina silently, clearly not buying her story.
Seraphina gave a small smile, not elaborating further.
“What’s the deal with the video on the internet?” Conway asked again.
It seems the important question has come sooner than expected, but Seraphina was clearly prepared, “Actually, it was just an accident. Leandro had quite a bit to drink that night. I was just playing around with him. I didn’t expect someone to secretly record it and post it online… Don’t worry, nothing happened between us!”
