Valerio looked at her with innocent, clear eyes. Seraphina knew she couldn't get any answers from him and had to accept this sudden arrangement.
"Alright, it's getting late and you have school tomorrow," Seraphina said as she patted Valerio's head. "Go take a bath and get ready for bed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Valerio's stomach growled.
Seraphina squinted her eyes, "You're following me just because you want to get some good grub, aren’t you?"
Valerio just looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Turns out she had attracted a little foodie.
Seraphina sighed and picked up her phone to order takeout for him.
By the time Valerio had eaten his fill and taken a bath, it was already midnight.
"I'll share half of this bed with you, but you can only sleep on your side. If you dare to cross over and touch me, I'll kick you off the bed, got it?" Seraphina half-heartedly threatened Valerio, then proceeded to pat his head gently. "Now close your eyes and go to sleep."
Valerio obediently closed his eyes.
Seraphina went back to the couch and opened her laptop, still dealing with the same headache-inducing recording.
She put on her headphones, and Leandro's deep, sexy voice came through, "Backing down?"
Seraphina bit her lip and leaned back on the sofa.
What on earth was Leandro up to?
The next day, when Sandra came to Seraphina's room and saw Valerio, she was stunned.
