Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 372

Seraphina wasn’t sure if it was luck or someone’s doing, but the apartment was conveniently up forrent.

So, she got in touch with the real estate agent, asked to meet the landlord and managed to do so withinthe apartment.

The apartment was an old-fashioned building, three bedrooms, a living room, furnished, but comparedto the age of the apartment, the furniture in the room was clearly new, obviously recently replaced.

“Is all this fumiture new?” Seraphina asked, walking around the room.

“Yes.” The landlord replied, “These were all replaced when the last tenant moved in, but they didn’t staylong, probably only about three months, so everything is still very new.”

“They?” Seraphina responded casually, “How many people lived in such a big house?”

“I’m not sure.” The landlord said, “The lease was signed with a man.”

Seraphina didn’t ask further, just nodded and casually asked, “Was he from Sunburst City?”.

The landlord was surprised, “How did you know?”

Seraphina glanced at the room’s layout and smiled, “The arrangement of these furniture shows theliving habits, not like a Moonhaven people’s habit, but more like a Sunburst City resident.”

So, the landlord gave Seraphina a thumbs up.

“When did they move out?” Seraphina asked again.

The landlord replied, “They left about a month ago, but the lease didn’t end until last week, so we juststarted re-renting.”

“Has anyone moved in after they left?”

“No.” The landlord said, “Even though they gave me the keys when they left, I didn’t give the keys toanyone before the lease ended.”

After listening, Seraphina did some mental calculation.

The landlord said the lease was terminated last week, and she received the call from this room a fewdays ago, which means that after the landlord was preparing to re-rent the house, someone called herfrom this room.

In addition to the landlord, the keys to the house should also be held by the agency.

People who view the house through the agency will probably leave personal information, but thisperson who lured her here in such a complicated way may not have left useful information for her.

Seraphina took a deep breath, preparing to be in for a long investigation.

“What do you think?” The landlord asked her when she was almost finished looking around, “Are yousatisfied?”

“Very satisfied, extremely satisfied.” Seraphina replied, “We can sign the contract right away, I want tomove in immediately.”

Seeing her so straightforward, the landlord was naturally very pleased, so he immediately signed a six-month lease.

The decision to rent and move in was made within a day, Seraphina naturally didn’t have too muchluggage, but she believed the process of moving was very important, so she asked Abbot to go to thesupermarket to buy a large number of daily necessities.

The purchased goods were stacked in boxes downstairs in the apartment, Seraphina was not in a hurryto move these items upstairs, but took advantage of this time to wander around nearby.

The building where the apartment was located was a bit old, part of the old city area, the surroundingstreets were full of life. Seraphina wandered aimlessly around the neighborhood for a while, but didn’tleave any deep impressions. The only thing that caught her attention was Mercy LifeCare Hospital shesaw in the distance. She didn’t walk to the hospital, roughly estimated, from the apartment to thehospital, it would take about three to five minutes by car, very close.

Seraphina stood quietly on the street, staring at the white hospital building for a long time.

During this time, she could have thought about many things, but she didn’t want to.

Not until it was getting dark did Seraphina turn around to go back.

On the way back, she passed a wine shop, so she pushed the door and went in, planning to pick up acouple of bottles of wine to take back.

She didn’t have much professional knowledge about wine, but Leandro was an expert, and under hisinfluence, Seraphina also learned a bit.

Seraphina was looking closely at the label on a bottle of wine when she heard a low laugh behind her,followed by a familiar voice, “This one is so-so, if you are drinking it yourself, I suggest you try this one.”

With that, another bottle of wine was handed to Seraphina.

Following the wine, Seraphina looked at the person behind her and suddenly laughed.

Then, she took the wine, looked down at it for a moment, then looked up at the other person, “Since Mr.Gray recommends it, I must give it a try.”

Behind her, Patrick Gray was dressed in a black suit, elegant and composed.

Then, he picked up another bottle of wine and handed it to Seraphina, “This one is also good.”

“I’m willing to try all of Mr. Gray’s recommendations.” After Seraphina finished speaking, she reachedout to take the bottle of wine.

Patrick just smiled and said, “Since it’s my recommendation, I’ll pay.”

Hearing this, Seraphina just smiled, “Thank you, I appreciated it.”

“Maybe it’s destiny that we run into each other.” After Patrick finished speaking, he took two bottles ofwine and walked towards the cashier.

“Hello, Mr. Gray.” The shop owner saw him and immediately came over to greet him, then said, “Thetwo cases of wine you ordered have arrived, I was just about to send them to you.”

Patrick gave a slight smile and said, “I was just passing by today, so I came to pick it up myself, didn’texpect to run into an old friend here.”

Hearing this, the shop owner enthusiastically greeted Seraphina.

Then, Seraphina watched as the shop owner brought out the two cases of wine Patrick ordered, andfor a moment, she didn’t know how to feel.

“So, it really is a coincidence.” Seraphina said, “When did you come back to Starhaven?”

“Over two months ago.” Patrick answered, “How about you? When did you get here?”

“Moonhaven?” Seraphina said, “I just got here today.”

Patrick heard this and looked at Seraphina’s bodyguard, then said, “Did you come alone?”

Seraphina nodded.

“So…” Patrick chuckled, “How about I treat you to dinner?”

Seraphina, however, shook her head with a smile, “I can’t today!

“Got a date?”novelbin

“No.” Seraphina answered honestly, “I’m moving.”

Hearing this, Patrick raised his eyebrows slightly, “Moving? Need any help?”

“It’s really no biggie, I wouldn’t dare to disturb your precious time, Mr. Gray.” Seraphina laughed, “I’vegot people to help, I can handle it.” Alright then.” Seeing this, Patrick didn’t say much. He just said, “Ifit’s not convenient for you today, let’s schedule another day.”

Seraphina agreed with a smile.

After leaving the wine shop, they went in different directions.

Abbot followed behind Seraphina, watching Patrick’s car disappear into the traffic before murmuring,“Running into him here, what are the odds?” Hearing this, Seraphina exhaled softly, “It’s hard to say.But once we find the previous tenant of that apartment, everything should become clear.”
