Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 174

Chapter 174

Eight o’clock in the evening at Reynolds Group.

Keen and Yasmina, who hadn’t knocked off yet, sat quietly at their desks. Keen was engrossed inwriting a work report, and Yasmina was looking a bit

bored.

Leandro had been leaving early these past few days, so Yasmina was a bit thrown off by the need towork overtime now.

“When the hell does Mr. Reynolds finish work… There doesn’t seem to be anything that requires us towork overtime today!” Yasmina muttered quietly. Keen shot her a glance, “You think there’s nothing todo? You don’t think that big issue counts as something?”

“We cant solve that problem from inside the office, can we?” Yasmina retorted, “If Mr. Reynolds reallywants to solve that issue, he should’ve left work early to find Ms. Bennett. Whether it’s to confront heror to comfort her, that’s the right way to handle it!”

As she spoke, Yasmina opened her phone to browse the web, but suddenly she jumped up.

Seeing her reaction, Keen knew something must’ve happened.

Sure enough.

Two minutes ago, Leandro had posted a handwritten letter on his private social media account.

This private account had been around for several years. Although it had many followers, he neverfollowed anyone. The only thing he had ever posted was a news article he shared when Reynolds

Group went public.

In other words, this handwritten letter was his second post.

Leandro’s handwriting was clear and firm. The letter began with “Dear Seraphina“.

Dear Seraphina,

I’ve led a lonely life, often keeping company with alcohol and using it to help me sleep.

In my dreams, I often see shadows of the past.

In 2002, you first joined the Reynolds family, and you were only ten then, lonely and confused,

In 2003, you had your first birthday in the Reynolds family. Staring at the birthday cake, you cried youreyes out,

In 2005, you entered middle school and had a conflict with someone right after, making your familyworried. From then on, you became quiet and

obedient,

In 2008, we bumped into each other several times, and I realized my only regret was not meeting yousooner,

In 2009, I had countless sleepless nights, only you stood by my side, accompanying me,

In 2010, something forced you to leave, you went far away, and I was left feeling empty, thinking we’dnever meet again,

In the following years, I didn’t dare to recall you.

Now that you’re back, I hope to spend the rest of my life with you.

This life was my aspiration.

Leandro.

After reading the letter, Yasmina covered her mouth in surprise, and Keen had finished reading as well.

“Oh my god…” Yasmina’s heart was racing. “Mr. Reynolds wrote this. He really wrote this!”

Keen didn’t answer. He just looked in the direction of the officenovelbin

Leandro had been in his office all afternoon. Concerning Seraphina’s situation, he only ordered thereporters to stop harassing her and didn’t give any

other instructions.

Keen had imagined countless ways this incident would be resolved, but he never expected thatLeandro would publicly post a love letter to Seraphina on social media.

“I can’t help but want to cry, and I really can’t imagine how he wrote these words… Yasmina was in astate of emotion, and then she noticed something. “Wait a minute! Mr. Reynolds said in the letter thatMs. Bennett left the Reynolds family in 2010, but according to the news this morning, Ms. Bennett hada child in February 2011. Does this mean that the child might be Mr. Reynolds’s?”

“Can’t you see that?” Keen replied, “It’s not just likely. The intention of Mr. Reynolds’s letter is to telleveryone that the child is his.”

As for Nanette’s question, Seraphina didn’t plan to answer. However, Nanette didn’t plan to let her offthe hook, and she continued to press, “If you were pregnant at that time, why didn’t you tell us? We all

didn’t know about this, suddenly you said you had a child, and then suddenly said the child is Leandro’sHow do you expect us to believe everything you say?”

‘Nanette!” As soon as Nanette finished speaking, Conway’s angry voice came from upstairs

Seraphina immediately looked up, saw Conway, and quickly went upstairs to support him at thestaircase.

Downstairs, Celeste Reynolds also held onto Nanette, whispering, “Dad said this isn’t our business, sostop asking”

“Who am I speaking for?” Nanette defended herself, I’m speaking for the Reynolds family! TheReynolds family has had a lot of issues over the years. Finally it was peaceful for two years, and assoon as she comes back, problems start popping up one after another! Who knows if she’s doing thison purpose!”

“Stop talking!” Celeste quickly said. “Do you want to upset Dad to death?”

Hearing this, Nanette looked up at Conway again and saw Conway looking down at Seraphina by hisside; she immediately got angry, didn’t want to see anymore, and ran out.

The others didn’t know what to say. They all tried to comfort Conway. Conway didn’t want to hearanymore and waved his hand to dismiss everyone. Seraphina helped Conway back to his room, andonly then did Conway say happily. “Did you see the letter Leandro wrote you?”

“No.” Seraphina answered, “What did he write?”

Conway immediately took the tablet from the bedside, opened it, and handed it to Seraphinal

Seraphina sat on the edge of the bed, slowly reading through the letter.

“How is it?” Conway looked at her, “Are you moved?”

Seraphina cracked a smile, commenting. “Only he can write a love letter so cool and collected.”

“You say that, but you’re kinda tickled pink on the inside, aren’t you?” Conway studied her face as iftrying to read something of it.

Seraphina scoffed, putting down her tablet, I’m done talking. Gonna hit the showers.”

Conway figured she was just shy and needed some time alone to mull over the letter, so he didn’t stopher. He just watched her leave with a smile.

Not long after Seraphina left, Leandro, who just got off work, barged into Conway’s room.

Upon seeing him, Conway burst into laughter, “Did you manage to dodge the paparazzi?”

“Nope,” Leandro answered nonchalantly, then moved to check out Conway’s daily health data.

..

“You handled this round pretty well. Not only did you dismiss public doubts, but you also managed toexpress your feelings to Sera, Conway looked pleased. He paused, then said, “I can’t ask Sera directly,so I’m asking you. Is the kid really yours?”

On hearing this, Leandro dropped his gaze a bit, took a moment, then slowly said, “I’m not sure.”

Conway frowned at his response, “Not sure? How could you be so clueless?”

“You know what was going on back then,” Leandro said, “I was at parties every night gettinghammered, so I really can’t remember if anything happened…”

Unable to contain himself, Conway let out a sigh, “There must be no mistake. Sera was so smitten withyou back then, and there’s no way she could’ve been with anyone else. It’s just such a damn shame…such a lovely girl, why did she have to die…
