Herman always thought Leandro's feelings for Seraphina were all about unconditional giving and spoiling, truly cherishing her from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect to hear about their past conflicts today, leaving him a bit bewildered for a moment.
Andrea was even more clueless about what was going on between them. Hearing Seraphina recount her past mental journey, she was quite shocked to imagine what Seraphina had been through.
It turned out, Leandro's current attentiveness and care towards Seraphina might be his way of making up for her unfortunate past.
"What did you chat with Vivian about?" Herman asked again.
What did they chat about?
Actually, they didn't chat about anything.
Back then, she was in so much pain she could barely contain herself. Yet, she couldn't help but sneak peeks. In the end, she couldn't resist showing up in front of Vivian when she was alone on the balcony.
Vivian was originally enjoying the view from the balcony. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and turned her head to see Seraphina, which left her stunned.
In fact, she had noticed Seraphina the moment Leandro led her in.
It couldn't be helped. Young girls always have this kind of mutual curiosity, especially when Seraphina stood on the stairs in a red dress, looking stunning and captivating.
However, Seraphina disappeared soon after, only to reappear now.
"Hello," Vivian said with a smile, "I'm Vivian."
Seraphina simply looked at her quietly, her gaze fixed on her face.
In her eyes, Vivian was not exceptionally beautiful, but she was always smiling. The dimples on the corners of her mouth made her look very cute, and her eyes were bright and lively, clearly a smart and lively girl.
In contrast, Seraphina felt like a piece of wood.
"Hello?" Seeing that she was not responding, Vivian asked again, "Who are you?"
"I..." For a moment, she even lost her voice. She struggled to say her name, "Seraphina Bennett."
Vivian heard this, looked her up and down, and said, "You're not a daughter of the Reynolds family, are you? I thought you were Leandro's sister!"
Hearing Vivian address Leandro as his name, Seraphina's hand clenched tightly behind her back, not even noticing that her nails were digging into her flesh.
Yes, Vivian was his girlfriend, calling him "Leandro" was only natural.
But what about her?
She didn't even have the right to call his name.
Seeing Seraphina spacing out again, Vivian suddenly laughed, then asked, "Hey! Who the hell are you?"
Seraphina didn't know how to answer.
Who was she?
A pitiful, confused orphan living off others' charity, how could she say that out loud?
Seeing that Seraphina was not answering, Vivian slowly walked up to her, circled around her, and then said with a smile, "If you won't talk, let me guess. You're not a daughter or relative of the Reynolds family, but you came down from the second floor, so you might be adopted, or a temporary resident here, right?"
Upon hearing these words, Seraphina suddenly looked at her.
Vivian continued, "You're always staring at me, on guard and sad, which means you don't like me. But I'm Leandro's girlfriend, why don't you like me? Could it be that you like Leandro?"
Upon hearing these words, Seraphina's body stiffened, even breathing became difficult, she wanted to run away.
Vivian laughed again, then slowly said, "It seems I guessed right. But he's my boyfriend now."
This sentence seemed to finally awaken Seraphina, she finally understood the situation.
