Capítulo 207: Seraphine: Lesson Learned!

...Did you also kill your husband?"

!!

"Wh—Cough, cough!" Seraphine sputtered, wine spilling over her lips and cascading down her front, staining her skin and clothes in a rivulet of red. Wang Xiao's gaze remained fixed on her, his face a mask of stoic inquiry, as she struggled for air.

"Could you not broach such topics without warning?" Seraphine gasped out, her cheeks burning with a flush from the alcohol and her sudden fit, her eyes darting away in a mix of anger and embarrassment.

Wang Xiao simply shrugged, "I was merely curious."

Seraphine found herself at a loss for words, her frustration growing.

Her mind raced, unable to untangle his line of questioning. With a deep, resigned sigh, she sought solace in the wine, its bitter taste a sharp contrast to her swirling thoughts.

"I'll take that as a yes," Wang Xiao murmured, almost to himself, as he turned his gaze back to the dwindling daylight.
