Chapter 43
After listening to Seraphina, Conway stared at her in silence for a while before slowly saying. “You’ve grown up, you’re not the same little Seraphina anymore. You’ve changed, both in looks and personality. I can’t even tell if what you’re saying is true or not.”
Conway ended on a slightly melancholic note.
“Grandpa” Seraphina knew what he meant, but still sat down next to Conway, ‘I might lie to anyone, but I’d never lie to you!”
After hearing this, Conway remained silent for a while before asking. “Have you met Valerio?”
Seraphina was surprised by his sudden mention of Valerio, hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yes, he’s Leandro’s son, quite handsome, but a man of few words.”
“Could you accept Valerio?”
Seraphina was taken aback, “What does this have to do with what we were talking about?”
“Grandpa!” She quickly clarified, “I have nothing going on with Leandro, why would I need to accept his con?”
“No relationship? Conway narrowed his eyes, “You used to have a crush on him”
Seraphina couldn’t resist the urge to cover her face and put on a cute act. “Oh my, that was ages ago! I was young and naive back then, but I’ve matured since!”
Conway asked directly. “So you don’t like him now that you’ve grown up?”
Seraphina replied with equal frankness, “Yes, I don’t like him anymore, and it’s been that way for a long time.”
Upon hearing this, Conway let out a sigh
Seraphina took Conway’s arm and asked, “Grandpa, why the sigh? Do you really want me to be your great–grandson’s stepmom?”
“Hmm” Conway looked at her, “Tve got my heart set on you”
“You haven’t seen me for so many years, do you even know what I’m like now?” Seraphina looked at him, “Would you still want me if I were a bad woman?”
“Even if you were a bad woman, I’d still want you” Conway said slowly, “I’d love to see you marry Leandro.”
Seraphina laughed mockingly, “So you care about me just so I could be your granddaughter–in–law!
“Would you be willing?”
Seraphina laughed, “I already said, I don’t like your grandson anymore, besides, I already have someone in my heart…”
Conway didn’t ask who she was in love with, he just sat there quietly, slightly lifting his chin in a somewhat haughty manner.
Seraphina could only continue. “There are so many wonderful girls in Sunburst City, anyone would be better than me, many would be willing to be Valerio’s stepmom.”
“There indeed are many, just none that he approves of Conway said.
It took Seraphina a while to understand that Conway was saying that Leandro didn’t approve of those girls, “Even those wonderful girls aren’t good enough for your grandson, let alone me. Stop trying to play matchmaker!”
In the middle of their conversation, Seraphina suddenly remembered something and asked, “Grandpa, why are you looking for a stepmother for Valerio? Who is his biological mother?”
Conway glanced at her, “I don’t know either”
“You don’t know either?” Seraphina was surprised, “How could Leandro not tell you something like this?”
“He indeed wouldn’t hide anything from me…” Conway said, then suddenly sighed.
Seraphina was stunned, then it dawned on her. Could it be that Leandro himself didn’t know who the child’s mother was? How was that possible?
“So how did this child come into being?” Seraphina curiously asked, “Was he trapped?”
