Everything about Sandra was a mystery to Seraphina.
Life had been simple and satisfying for Seraphina since she had gotten back into Valerio's life. She had no other worries, her days were filled with being there for Valerio. She would drop him off and pick him up from school, spend the weekends with him at his various hobby classes.
Whether it was drawing classes or soccer practice, Seraphina was always right beside Valerio, never leaving his side.
As for everyone else, they were mostly ignored by her, even Andrea, who could only meet her when Valerio was at school.
Andrea hadn't seen her for nearly a month, and upon seeing her now, she noticed how much Seraphina had changed.
Compared to before, Seraphina looked radiant, better than she ever had.
When she sat down, Seraphina was engrossed in watching a video of Valerio on her phone. Even by herself, she couldn't help but beam proudly.
As Andrea sat down, she couldn't help but sigh, "You're with him every minute of the day, and yet in these few hours of absence, you need to watch videos of him?"
Seraphina put away her phone and replied, "What are you talking about? His teacher sent this video. I just received it, so I opened it to watch."
"Just admit you miss him." Andrea said, "I won't laugh at you. After all these years of being apart, it's understandable that you want to make up for lost time."
Seraphina looked at her, "You're not jealous, are you?"
Andrea glanced at her, "I'm not that idle."
Andrea handed Seraphina a bag from her side, "I made two new outfits for Valerio, consider it a gift from his loving aunt."
"Well, on his behalf, thank you, Aunt Andrea." Seraphina accepted the bag with a smile. After having a look inside, an idea popped into her head, "Hey, when you have time, make us matching outfits. I want to wear the same clothes as him when we go out—"
"Are you sure?" Andrea glanced at her outfit, "Matching clothes don't really seem like your style."
"I can switch up my style, didn't you know?" Seraphina retorted.
Seeing her beaming smile, Andrea shook her head and sighed, "Right now, you're like— a die-hard fan of your son."
"I won't deny that." Seraphina admitted, "After all, my son is far more handsome than the celebrities."
As she kept bringing up Valerio, Andrea chose to remain silent and took a sip of her water.
As she lifted her gaze, Andrea's eyes landed on the restaurant entrance. Her expression changed slightly and she glanced at Seraphina.
Seraphina noticed and quickly turned to look as well.
Walking through the door was none other than Bowen.
Seraphina immediately averted her gaze, refusing to look at him.
However, Bowen didn't stop. Instead, he headed straight towards them.
Despite the awkwardness, Bowen maintained the demeanor of a suave gentleman. With a slight smile, he asked, "May I join you?"
"You're not welcome here." Seraphina responded without even looking at him.
Ignoring her response, Bowen pulled up a chair and sat down, "Sera, I didn't take you for someone so petty."
Seeing this, Andrea stood up, "I'm going to the restroom."
After she left, only Seraphina and Bowen were left at the table.
Seraphina crossed her arms and looked at Bowen coldly. Bowen's gaze lingered on Andrea for a while before turning back to Seraphina, "You and Andrea are so close now, Sandra would be jealous if she saw this."
Seraphina only stared at him coldly without responding.
"You've always been the most important person to her." Bowen continued, "That's never changed."
Seraphina gave a small smile, still not responding.
