Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 102

On that day, Yasmina was burning the midnight oil al The Reynolds Group

She was sitting at her desk, looking beat. “I really admire Mr. Reynolds,” she said, “He’s working late every day and every night. It’s like he never gets tired… If this keeps up, I might have to put marriage and kids on the back burner..

Keen, sitting next to Yasmina, had a worried look on his face

He had been feeling ansious ever since he watched Seraphina’s interview video why did he feel like something was about to hit the fan?

He was racking his brains, trying to figure it out, when suddenly the door to the CEO’s office opened and Leandro walked out

They both perked up instantly, but Leandro only said, “Off work,” and then headed for the elevator

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Yasmina turned to Keen and asked, “Do you think Mr. Reynolds saw that interview video?”

Keen replied half–heartedly, “What do you think?”

Yasmina said, “Mr. Reynolds is always so mysterious. I can’t read his mind.”

Keen just sighed

The interview was clearly a mess Seraphina had cooked up on purpose. If Leandro hadn’t seen it, wouldn’t her effort have been for nothing?

That woman wouldn’t do something that didn’t yield results!

Indeed, Leandro had viewed the interview video, and not just once

The video had amassed a significant number of views. He had come across it several times from various sources. The comment section was buzzing with fervor and diverse perspectives

But, in reality, it was simply Seraphina playing her games.

He had no desire to descend to her antics.

Leandro slid into the car, lightly pressed his forehead, and refrained from specifying his destination.

Observing his state, the driver voluntarily shared some news. “Mr. Conway was discharged from the hospital today. He didn’t relocate to the nursing home but returned to his own residence. Ms Seraphina accompanied him.”

Leandro responded with nonchalance, “Alright.”

“Are we heading home? inquired the driver as he began to steer away from The Reynolds Group

Leandro remained silent for a moment before responding. “Yes.”

Hearing this, the driver knew he meant Urban Oasis, so he didn’t ask any more questions.

When they arrived at Urban Oasis, it was already 1 a m. Leandro took a short rest in the car. When it stopped, he immediately opened his eyes, clearly looking ahead, and got

out of the car

Back in his room, everything was as usual.

Leandro went upstairs and first checked on Valerio.

Valerio was already asleep, with the blanket only covering half of his body.

Leandro checked his temperature, then tucked him in. He sat by the bed for a while before leaving

Back in his own room, as soon as he entered the living room, Leandro immediately noticed something off.

Even though he hadn’t been home for two days, he quickly picked up on the changes

Nevertheless, Leandro didn’t show any reaction. He simply undressed and went straight into the bathroom to wash up.

When he got into bed and turned off the lights, there was a rustling in the darkness

After a slight trembling by the side of the bed, someone joined him under the covers

She didn’t avoid him. From the beginning, there was direct physical contact until he lifted her out of the bed. Then she laughed, lying on his chest, asking, “Surprised?”

In the pitch–black bedroom, all sounds became especially clear. However, Leandro’s breathing was exceptionally low, making it hard to discern his emotions

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Seraphina reached out to hug him, softly kissing his chin. “What’s wrong? Why are you ignoring me?”

“Are you mad at me? Seraphina mumbled while kissing him, “I was just blowing off steam this morning. Why won’t you say anything?”

As she was talking, she suddenly laughed. “Your beard smells so good with this perfume, what brand is it?”

In the dark, Leandro still seemed to have no reactionContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Seraphina was quiet for a moment, then suddenly sighed, “Alright then, seems like you’re not too fond of me today. I’ll leave first, darling-”

She deliberately leaned close to his ear, and the next second, Leandro suddenly held her waist tightly

Seraphina laughed, and was promptly pinned down under him.

“All the sweet nothings I said to you, you ignored But when I call you ‘darling, you…” she cooed, “Do you want to keep your distance from me or not?”

“Seraphina” Leandro suddenly called her name in a low voice, his emotions indistinguishable

“Hmm?” She responded, waiting for his next words

But Leandro didn’t speak, he simply kissed her

In the pitch black room, they began to get intimate and make love

Seraphina wasn’t certain when she succumbed to sleep. When she was roused by Leandro’s movement, she checked the time and found it to be only 6 am.

He had likely slept for a mere three hours. Seraphina couldn’t fathom why he was rising so early. She yearned to stay with him a while longer, but exhaustionovypowerad. her She closed her eyes and slipped back into slumber.

Leandro, now dressed, approached the bedside to retrieve the watch he had removed the previous night. Seraphina was unconsciously curled up in the blanket, encasing herself snugly.

Leandro observed her for a moment, then adjusted the air conditioning a few degrees warmer before exiting the room.

Upon descending the stairs, he found Karan had already laid out his breakfast and tablet.

As he perused the news on his tablet during breakfast, Karan presented him with a cup of black coffee, placing it next to him before stating. “Your room’s window was njar last night”

In other words, the sounds from his room had reached her. Leandro didn’t evade the matter, responding simply. “Did I cause a disturbance?

“No one can stop you from doing what you want, Karan said with a frown, “But you should consider your mother’s feelings.”

“Don’t worry, I got this. Leandro replied

Just as Karan was about to leave, he turned back, seemingly unable to resist asking. “No matter how I look at Seraphina, she seems pretty cunning. Do you know what the

hell she’s up to?”

Leandro’s gaze deepened at the question.

Because it was indeed true

But what was she really up to?

Shed just had a bit of a tiff with him, trying to see who’d come out on top. That was all.

Why wouldn’t he give her a chance?

Several hours later, when Seraphina roused, she was greeted with Karan’s customary frosty glare.

Fortuitously, she had become accustomed to such treatment and proceeded to the kitchen in search of sustenance.

As she was nibbling on a slice of bread, a young boy appeared at the kitchen threshold, quietly observing her.

On noticing him, Seraphina nearly choked on her bread. Checking the date, she realized it was the weekend.

Valerio gazed at her expectantly. Seraphina motioned him closer, then squatted to his level, “I’ve inquired about your mom, but there’s no news as of yet.”

Valerio silently regarded her, his eyes mirroring palpable disappointment.

“However, I’ll continue the search for your mom, Seraphina lightly brushed his head, bestowed a tender smile upon him and reassured, “Even if your dad and I part ways in the future, I’ll still assist you in finding her.”

Valerio seemed slightly perplexed as he looked at her, but his eyes remained as lucid as ever.

Suddenly, Seraphina averted her gaze, no longer meeting his.
