Chapter 50
In Seraphina’s eyes, Balch was a guy who liked to keep things simple.
Throughout the time together, Balch had never crossed a line
He was always swamped with work, and she frequently suffered from headaches and stomachaches. The only thing Balch ever gave her was understanding god patience.
At this moment they were sitting side by side on the couch watching a movie Balch was just holding her hand on his lap, without any further moverherts.
Seraphina was fully immersed in the movie. After half an hour had passed, she finally glanced at Balch ‘Dont you like this movie?” she asked
It was a romance film, featuring a gentle plot and beautiful scenic locations.
Tlike it Balch replied in a somewhat flat tone
Observing his expression for a moment, Seraphina teased. “You didn’t react at all, I thought you fell asleep!”
Batch looked down at her with a smile, explaining. “That’s just how I am when I’m focused”
“Well, I hope you can be that focused on me in the future, Seraphina said with a playful smile. Her diamond earring was swinging, sparkling under the light
Seeing this. Balch bent down and kissed her earlobe
Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “What happened to being focused?”
However, Balch didn’t turn back to the movie. He was just looking at Seraphina, “I was focused, but you diverted my attention”
Seraphina hooked her arm around his neck and said slowly, “This movie is highly rated. I’m honored to have diverted your attention from it
She laughed lightly charming and seductive Her eyes sparkled, making her especially captivating under the dim light.
Balch brushed a strand of hair off her shoulder and leaned in closer
As his face neared, Seraphina closed her eyes.
But at that moment, a shrill ringtone echoed in the room.
Startled, Seraphina opened her eyes and grabbed her phone, annoyed. It was an unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, she hung up and tossed her phone aside.
“Not answering?” Balch asked.
“Nope Seraphina was a bit irritated
Balch chuckled and stroked her hair, and she snuggled back into his arm.
But the phone had to ring again at the worst time. It was the same number. She was resolved not to answer, but the moment she hung up, it rang again.
Seraphina glanced at Balch and reluctantly answered the call, “Who is this?”
“Ms. Bennett, hello, I’m Lacy, Conway Reynolds‘ secretary. We met downstairs at your place before,” a male voice came from the other end.
Hearing this, Seraphina flicked her hair, “What’s up?”
“Conway wants to see you”
“I’m busy” Seraphina cut him off, “Tell him I’ll invite him for a meal another day.”
“Conway fainted two hours ago, Ms. Bennett. It would be best if you could come.”
Seraphina instantly stood up, “What did you say? My grandpa fainted?”
She walked to the side to ask for more details, but Lacy seemed to have called in a hurry and hung up after leaving an address.
Seraphina walked back to the couch with her phone. Balch had already stood up. Without asking further, he simply said, “Shall I take you there?”
Seraphina looked at him for a moment before saying, “No, come with me.”
