Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 154

Seraphina originally thought that her words would send Leandro into a rage, but when she looked at

him, his expression was still calm. He just stared at her quietly, hiding all his emotions behind those

deep eyes, impossible to read.

She didn’t have the interest to probe his thoughts, quickly averted her gaze and said, “I’ve given you

my answer, can I go home now? Valerio might still be waiting for me at home.”

As she stood up to leave, Leandro suddenly called out her name, “Seraphina.”

She turned her head to look at him, “Anything else you want to say, Mr. Reynolds?”

Leandro just looked at her calmly and asked one question, “Who is Betty?”

Seraphina, who was originally all smiles, suddenly froze when she heard Leandro’s question. She then

asked, “Who?”

Her voice obviously became hoarser at the question.

Leandro still looked at her calmly. “Don’t you know who I’m asking about?”

Seraphina’s face returned to its calm state, but it looked somewhat pale.

She replied, “I don’t know.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for Leandro and turned to leave the office.

Leandro just sat in his chair, quietly watching her leave, not doing anything

When Seraphina got downstairs, the driver was waiting for her at the entrance. Seeing her come out

alone, he seemed a bit surprised, “Ms. Bennett, why are you alone? Where’s Mr. Reynolds?”

The driver opened the car door for Seraphina. She was about to get in when she realized, “You’re

waiting for Mr. Reynolds, aren’t you? Then I’ll just call a cab.”

She took out her phone to call a cab. The driver noticed that her hands were trembling as she entered

the address. He also noticed her pale face and immediately asked with concern, “Ms. Bennett, are you

okay?”

Tm fine.” Before she could call a cab, Seraphina suddenly put away her phone, “It’s hard to catch a cab

here, I’ll go wait by the roadside.”

She walked straight towards the road. The driver, a bit worried, followed her for a bit, trying to persuade

her to get in the car, but Seraphina seemed not to hear him and kept walking

The driver couldn’t leave the car for too long. Seeing that Seraphina really wasn’t going to get in his

car, he could only stop and watch her leave, then quickly returned to the car.

Seraphina waited by the roadside for an hour before she finally saw an empty cab. The temperature

dropped sharply at night, and she felt cold all over. After getting in the car, she seemed to snap back to

reality.

The driver asked her where she wanted to go three times. It was only on the third time that Seraphina

heard him. When she was about to answer, she

found that her mind was blank and she couldn’t think of where to go.

She sat quietly in the car for a while, then took out her phone and dialed Sandra’s number.

No one answered the first time, nor the second time. The third time, Sandra picked up the phone, her

voice rushed, “Sera, what’s up? I was just in the

shower…”

Seraphina’s mind was filled with messy thoughts. It took her a while to sort them out. Then she said,

“Sandra, he just asked me, who is Betty…

On the other end of the phone, Sandra suddenly sat up on the bed, “Who? Leandro?”

Then, Seraphina chuckled on the phone, “What do you think, should I tell him who Betty is?”

But before Sandra could answer, she said softly, “No, I won’t tell him.”

After saying that, Seraphina just hung up.

Sandra listened to the disconnected phone, feeling anxious. She immediately called back, but

Seraphina didn’t pick up again.

She was about to call again when a man’s hand suddenly reached out and took her phone. He asked

calmly. “What happened?”

Sandra turned her head and saw Bowen lying next to her.

He was lying there, bare–chested, looking at her with a satisfied expression.

But Sandra had completely detached herself from their previous sex. All she could think about was

Seraphina’s call.

“Leandro he overheard our conversation today.” Sandra said, “He asked Sera, who is Betty…”

Upon hearing this, Bowen pulled her into his arms and said casually, “Then let him know”

Sandra lay on his chest, her eyes blank. After a while, she slowly shook her head.

When Seraphina got back to the apartment, it was already past midnight.

As soon as she opened the door, someone rushed up to hug her leg. Seraphina looked down to see it

was Valerio.

She quickly pushed his hand away and squatted down to look at him, “Why are you still up? What time

is it?”

Valerio looked at her with puppy dog eyes, his bright eyes filled with grievance.

Seraphina knew he must have been waiting for her. She sighed, took his hand, and accompanied him

upstairs, Tm not going to disappear, why were you waiting here for me?”

When they reached the second floor and passed by Leandro’s bedroom, Seraphina asked again, “Your

dad hasn’t come back yet?”

Valerio nodded.

Seraphina then took him back to his room and urged him to get into bed.

His feet were bare and now they were icy cold.

Seeing this, Seraphina went into the bathroom and got a hot towel, lifted his little feet, and wiped them

a few times before wrapping them up in the towel to warm them up Only after his feet were warm did

she put them back under the blanket, “Sleep now.”

Valerio lay in bed, still staring at her with wide eyes.

Seraphina stared back at him for a while, then leaned down to kiss his forehead lightly, whispering, “get

some sleep.”

Valerio seemed to be soothed by her kiss, even showing a shy smile. After a while, he finally closed his

eyes.

Seraphina kept watch over him until he fell asleep. She still sat by the bed, quietly watching him.

The next morning, at the hotel.

When Sandra woke up, she had a bit of a headache.

She spent the night at the hotel last night, not quite comfortable with the unfamiliar environment. Plus,

with Seraphina’s call, she had a rough night and didn’t sleep well. So, she ordered a cup of black

coffee to perk up as soon as she walked into the restaurant.

What surprised her was, just after she had ordered her meal, before her coffee even arrived, someone

suddenly appeared in front of her, “Ms. Sandra,

hello”

Sandra looked up and saw a strange man’s face.

He handed her a business card, Tm Keen, Leandro Reynold’s personal assistant. Mr. Reynolds would

like to have a word with you

As Keen spoke, he pointed to a spot by the window

In the early morning, the hotel’s restaurant was almost empty, and the row of seats by the window

seemed extraordinarily quiet and vacant.

Sandra saw Leandro sitting in the middle and couldn’t help but bite her lip.

She just met this man yesterday, and she didn’t expect to bump into him so quickly for the second time.

Sandra thought for a moment, then got up and walked over, sitting down in front of Leandro.
