Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 290

Chapter 290

Deep into the night, Reynolds Manor had fallen silent, and Leandro’s car finally pulled up at theentrance.

In the past, he often worked late into the night, which was normal for him. You could even say he got offwork early today.

But he didn’t know when he started to feel out of sync with this lifestyle. Every time he didn’t returnhome late at night, he felt a bit uneasy.

He knew Seraphina had come home early today. The house was quiet, she must’ve been asleep.

Leandro returned to his bedroom, didn’t see Seraphina, but he didn’t mind. After showering, he headedstraight to Seraphina’s bedroom. However, when he opened the door to Seraphina’s room, with themoonlight streaming in from the window, he found the room empty. Leandro felt a bit puzzled andglanced back at the empty corridor.

No one was downstairs, no one in the corridor, no one in his room, no one in her room either. Wherethe hell was Seraphina?

He walked a few more steps to Conway’s door, ready to open it, but found no light seeping from underthe door. Which meant Conway had gone to bed, Seraphina couldn’t be in his room.

Leandro retracted his hand, went to Valerio’s room. He hadn’t thought much about it, but the image ofValerio appearing in his room in the morning flashed across his mind.

After standing still for two seconds, Leandro reached out, trying to open the door.

However, when his hand gripped the doorknob, trying to turn it, he found the doorknob wouldn’t budge.

He’d never encountered such resistance on Valerio’s door before. He was a bit puzzled, tried again,and then realized the door was locked.

Valerio usually didn’t lock his door when he slept.

Leandro retracted his hand, glanced at the closed door, then returned to his own bedroom.novelbin

The next morning, Leandro got up at his usual time. After breakfast, neither Seraphina nor Valerio hadshown up.

When it was time for him to leave, Leandro went upstairs again. This time, Valerio’s door finallyopened.

In the room, Seraphina was tying a tie for Valerio, and Valerio, with his hands behind his back, wasletting her fuss over him, looking very pleased.

His pleased expression disappeared as soon as he spotted Leandro standing at the door. He blinkedand tried to regain his composed. demeanor.

Following his gaze, Seraphina turned around, nearly bursting into laughter.

Although Leandro’s face didn’t show anything, seeing him standing there made Seraphina find it funny.

“Did you sleep well last night?” Seraphina asked.

Leandro didn’t answer her question, but asked instead, “Why were you sleeping here last night?”.

“He invited me.” Seraphina immediately pointed at Valerio. “He said his bed was comfortable and Iwould definitely sleep well, at least… better than in your bed. I thought, why not give it a try, didn’texpect it to be so comfy.”

Valerio, hearing this, couldn’t help but smile, looking rather smug.

Leandro glanced at his smug face, and directly signaled him to come over, “Come here.”

Valerio, clueless about what was about to happen, walked over to Leandro, looking at him obedientlyand innocently.

Leandro stared at him for a moment, and finally said, “Go downstairs for breakfast, I’ll take you toschool today.”

Valerio hadn’t had this kind of treatment in a long time. He looked at Leandro in surprise, then quicklynodded and obediently went downstairs.

Leandro, however, was still standing at the doorway, watching Seraphina.

Seraphina walked up to him, glanced at Valerio’s retreating figure, then turned to Leandro, saying,“That’s your own son, don’t be too

harsh.”

“If you had this concern, why didn’t you think about it yesterday?” Leandro asked calmly.

Seraphina looked down, her face innocent, while she reached out to adjust his tie, saying, “I washelpless, I had to meet the kid’s request, you know. Valerio has been lacking love since he was a child,if I refused him, he’d be hurt…”

As she fumbled with Leandro’s neat tie, he caught her hand and said slowly, “So would I.”

Seraphina was taken aback, “What?”

Leandro looked at her, and said slowly, “If you refuse me, I’d be hurt too.”

For a moment, Seraphina was speechless.

She was a bit unaccustomed to Leandro saying such things, but then remembered that Leandro was aplayboy eight years ago, so it wasn’t strange for him to say such things.

It was just that his serious demeanor now was a bit disconcerting.

Seraphina snorted, didn’t say anything, pulled back her hand, pushed Leandro away, and walked backto her own room

That day, Seraphina visited around as usual.

At noon, she visited one of Keeley’s distant relatives, chatted for just over ten minutes and then left.

As soon as she stepped out of the building, a familiar motorcycle drove up from afar and stopped rightin front of her.

Seraphina glanced at it, didn’t stop, and walked straight to her own car.

She got in the car, and as the bodyguard was about to close the door, Keeley quickly approached,pulling the car door open.

Just as a conflict was about to erupt, Seraphina signaled the bodyguard to back off a bit, while sheremained in the car, lazily glanced at Keeley and asked, “What’s up?”

“Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that?” Keeley stared at her coldly, “What are you up to? What moredo you want to dig up about me?”

Seraphina almost burst out laughing at his question, “You? You think too highly of yourself. You’re just aminion who’s kept and obeys his master’s commands. What’s there about you that’s worth digging?”

Hearing this, Keeley let out a sarcastic chuckle, “Really? Do you think I don’t know about all therelatives and friends of mine you’ve been snooping around with yesterday and today? If you want to

know something, just come and ask me. Why bother wasting so much time and effort?”

“Ask you?” Seraphina looked at him with utter contempt, even a hint of pity, “Do you really think you’rethat important? Honestly, knowing there are others behind you, even if I wanted to personally avengemy friend, I wouldn’t want to spare you another glance. Keeley, you’re not only stupid and ridiculous,but also pathetic… I’ve never seen anyone more pathetic than you in my entire life!”

With that, Seraphina signaled the driver to start the car. The bodyguard immediately stepped up, pulledKeeley away, and shut the car door for her.

Keeley stood rigidly on the spot, watching as Seraphina’s car drove away. He stood quietly for amoment, then turned around and walked into the building that Seraphina had previously been in andout of.
