Even though she didn't utter a word, there seemed to be an unspoken understanding between them.
Regarding Gloria, her silence was undoubtedly the greatest concession she could offer him.
A concession he never dared to dream of.
Where did such understanding come from?
Thinking about her trust in him handling Sandra's situation made Leandro's heart flutter.
Without thinking, he reached out, pulling Seraphina into his embrace.
The scattered staff around them couldn't help but cast glances their way.
Seraphina made no move to resist, allowing him to hold her for a moment before she finally spoke. "Done yet? If you don't go and join our son, he's going to get anxious..."
As soon as she finished speaking, sure enough, they saw Valerio running towards them, his brow sweaty.
Seeing his unreliable parents sitting here cuddling instead of joining him, Valerio was both angry and jealous, his gaze filled with sorrow as he looked at the two.
Seraphina cleared her throat, raising her hand to indicate her innocence, then sneakily pointed at Leandro, implying it was all his fault.
When Leandro turned his head, he saw her finger that she hadn't had the time to pull back yet.
Seraphina quickly retracted her hand. Realizing her own folly, she chuckled and whispered, "I've been away from him for so many years. I can only play the role of a loving mother. As the role of strict father, I'll leave to you."
As she finished speaking, Seraphina quickly got up from her chair, grabbed Valerio's hand and ran off, shouting, "Let's go have fun!"
Valerio instantly brightened up, and as they ran off, he waved to Leandro to join them.
Watching the two figures, one big and one small, Leandro finally rose and followed.
Because Valerio and his classmates were still young, most of the day was spent on family-friendly activities. The children naturally had fun, and for the parents, their main goal was to accompany their kids, putting their entertainment needs first.
Sitting in a little boat floating in a fairy-tale world, Seraphina couldn't help but ask Leandro, "I heard from Grandpa this morning that you've been to almost all the fun amusement parks in the world, right?"
"If you're referring to the ones that were popular years ago, then yes," Leandro replied.
Seraphina could have guessed as much.
Before he became the man in this moment, he loved to have fun. From the moment she joined the Reynolds family, she remembered that for the first few years, he was never home during the holidays. He was always off vacationing somewhere.
Being the heir of the Reynolds family, he naturally had the means.
If someone had told her ten years ago that Leandro would turn out like this, who would have believed it?
