A few days later, in Sunburst City.
That day, the Reynolds family was back at it again, bickering after enjoying a few days of peace. When Leandro got home late at night, the servants were still cleaning up the mess in the living room.
Karan was just coming downstairs. She sighed seeing him.
"What happened this time?" Leandro asked.
Karan replied, "Your father went to Starhaven a couple of days ago. Your mother found out today that he went to see Magdalen, so…"
Upon hearing the name "Magdalen", Leandro slightly furrowed his brows, then asked, "Where are they now?"
"After the fight, your father left. Your mother is upstairs crying." Karan said, "I'm going to get her a glass of water. You should go check on her."
Leandro turned and headed upstairs. As soon as he reached the second floor, he could hear Gloria's crying mixed with curses.
Over the years, whenever there was a situation like this, it was always because of the women around Bruce. For Gloria, these women were all taboos, and Magdalen was the most annoying one. Every time her name was mentioned, it caused Gloria immense pain.
Their marriage had become more than just a sham. There wasn’t even basic respect between them.
Bruce's nature was hard to change, and Gloria couldn't change him but also refused to let go, leading to the situation today.
Leandro arrived at Gloria's bedroom door. Gloria's voice suddenly became clear. Her sharp voice mixed with offensive curses sounded like a deranged madwoman.
Leandro was not indifferent to her pain. However, the more he sympathized with her, the more his heart grew numb.
After all, she didn't have to endure this pain, but she refused to make a change.
It was not only them torturing each other, but also Gloria torturing herself.
When Karan came up with a glass of water, she saw Leandro still standing at the door.
"Why don't you go in?" She whispered, approaching him.
Leandro suddenly turned around.
"You can stay with her. I'm going back to Valerio."
After saying this, he headed towards the stairs.
"Leandro! Leandro!" Karan called out in a low voice. Seeing that he didn't turn back, she felt a bit irritated.
She turned her head towards the room. Gloria was still cursing.
Karan hesitated for a moment, sighed, and then pushed the door open.
……
Leandro sat in the black Bentley, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed.
The driver was concentrating on driving to Urban Oasis when Leandro asked, "Where is my grandfather staying recently?"
The driver was taken aback and looked at Leandro in the rear-view mirror. Leandro's eyes were still closed, and his question seemed more like talking to himself. However, the driver quickly replied, "After Ms. Bennett left, Conway thought the Reynolds Manor was too lonely, so he moved to the nursing home."
"Let's go see him." Leandro said.
The driver glanced at the time on the dashboard. It was already half-past eleven, but since Leandro had said so, he naturally didn't object. He quickly turned the car around.
When they arrived at the nursing home, only a few rooms were still lit. One of them was Conway's.
When Leandro entered the room, Conway was sitting under the light fussing with his antique radio.
