Seraphina looked incredulously at him, asking, "Are you seriously trying to negotiate terms with me?"
Leandro, with unapologetic audacity, nodded, "Yes."
Seraphina gritted her teeth, saying, "What do you want to negotiate?"
Leandro bent down slightly, ensnaring her within his arms, "What do you think?"
Seraphina locked eyes with him for a moment, then resignedly lay back on the bed, "Fine, go ahead."
"What are you doing?" Leandro frowned slightly at her defiant posture.
Seraphina knew he was playing dumb. She immediately hopped off the bed, "Forget it. I don't care that much about those pictures anyway."
She was about to leave when Leandro pulled her back into his arms, pinning her back on the bed. Leandro gently lifted her chin, whispering, "How could I resist when you're in the mood?"
"You pervert!" Seraphina accused without hesitation, "Shameless!"
Leandro let her rant until she was done, then finally leaned down to silence her with a kiss.
After a few rounds of intimacy moments, Seraphina lay exhausted in his arms, not moving a muscle.
Because of the presence of Valerio, their intimacy felt stolen and therefore all the more precious.
Leandro cradled her in his arms, kissing her forehead before murmuring, "On the coming holiday, let's take Valerio somewhere."
Seraphina, who was drifting off to sleep, bolted awake at his words, "Valerio has a break, but do you?"
"I'll make time." Leandro replied.
Seraphina huffed, "Don't make promises you can't keep. You'll only disappoint Valerio."
Leandro gently stroked her back, simply saying, "I won't."
Seraphina gave a small nod of agreement, not saying anything more. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep in his arms.
Upon learning of the upcoming vacation and the planned trip, Valerio was ecstatic. His eyes were bright with anticipation for several days.
Since they decided to visit Scandinavia, Seraphina worried about Valerio handling the cold. Therefore, she started shopping for winter clothes in advance.
They initially only intended to buy a few outfits for Valerio, but they got carried away while shopping. They ended up with a heap of new clothes.
Seraphina was pleased and Valerio was happy to go along with it. They spent an entire evening trying on outfits, each one earning Seraphina's approval.
While Valerio was thrilled with his new clothes, he didn't forget his parents. He picked out a few items for both Seraphina and Leandro.
Seraphina trusted her son's taste and bought a few outfits in the style that Valerio liked.
As for the coats that Valerio picked out for Leandro, they had to be brought in from another city, so Leandro couldn't see them yet.
