The fox spirit is really lucky, she actually managed to escape.
Mia Redgrave dialed Jonathan Redgrave with a gloomy expression. Just as she pressed the call button, a surprised voice came from behind her: "Seraphina Redgrave?"
Mia was stunned for a moment, turned around slowly, and saw Leo Lynch, now in a clean suit, standing behind her, staring blankly at Seraphina Redgrave as if his soul had been captivated by her, completely oblivious to Mia’s presence just a step away.
Leo Lynch.
What a coincidence.
Seraphina Redgrave stood there coldly aligning the person in front of her with her memory, but her expression was blank.
Leo, ecstatic, walked quickly towards her, bypassing Mia, and looked at her with excitement: "Seraphina, Mona and I have been looking for you for three years, where did you go back then?"
"Looking for me?"
Seraphina couldn’t believe it.
Mia had never admitted at school that Seraphina was also part of the Redgrave Family, and thanks to Jonathan’s manipulation, the two of them were never in the same class.
Back in high school, Mia was insanely obsessed with Leo, but to her shock, Leo publicly declared he liked Seraphina.
Because of this, Mia pretended to be a good friend to Seraphina to get closer to Leo, acting as if she were helping him, hoping proximity would make Leo switch his affections to her. But Leo never changed his mind, so Mia had Jonathan send Seraphina to the forbidden zone to block her path.
"Mmm, mmm." Leo excitedly grabbed her hand, "You dropped out without saying anything, and I specifically went to look for your records, only to find out you were forcibly taken away by your family, and even I couldn’t find out the reason as they hid it."
So that’s how it was.
The Redgrave Family wanted her to disappear without a trace.
Mia stood there, watching Leo holding Seraphina’s hand so intimately, completely disregarding her feelings, she was so furious she nearly ground her teeth to dust, wishing she could kick Seraphina away.
She forcibly swallowed her anger, finally squeezing out a smile uglier than a cry, saying to Seraphina, "Yeah, Seraphina, where have you been these three years? Leo and I were so worried about you."
Worried? Mia sure knows how to act.
Seraphina gave Mia a cold glance and withdrew her hand from Leo’s tight grasp: "Sorry, I’m not this Seraphina you’re talking about."
"How could you not be Seraphina?"
Leo anxiously spoke up.
Damn it...
Mia was so angry she could almost see smoke, but her words were still gentle: "Seraphina, why don’t we talk at the cafe?"
"No." Seraphina replied, but Mia grabbed her wrist like a good sister, shaking her arm: "Just for a little while, it won’t take too much of your time."
The three of them walked into the cafe, Mia pulled Seraphina to sit down, then forcibly had Leo sit opposite Seraphina, and she sat next to Leo, secretly sending a text to Jonathan.
[Mia: Daddy, Seraphina has escaped from the forbidden zone! Hurry up and bring the bodyguards to Apex Plaza, we’re at the cafe on the sixth floor, I’ll figure out a way to keep her here.]
After sending the message, Seraphina turned her head to see Leo staring intently at her sitting right across from him, his eyes full of joy, as if an important person had returned.
It’s been three years, and Leo still hasn’t let go of Seraphina.
Mia forced a smile, deliberately leaning her body closer to the man, brushing against his arm, yet putting on an excited face: "Leo, we finally see Seraphina again, I’m so happy."
Leo glanced at Mia, who seemed like she wanted to crawl into his lap, then looked at the indifferent Seraphina across the table, thinking of the youthful past between the three, he couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward: "By the way, Seraphina, Mona and I are dating."
"Yes indeed."
Before Seraphina was sent to the forbidden zone, Mia hadn’t managed to get together with Leo. At this moment, she couldn’t resist flaunting to her longtime rival, quickly wiping the corner of Leo’s mouth, smiling as she looked at Seraphina: "Leo used to like you, but now he’s with me. It’s because you disappeared without a trace these three years, Seraphina. You don’t blame me, do you?"
