Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 195

When Seraphina finally went back to her room for a bath, Conway popped into Leandro’s study.

Leandro was back at work, and didn’t even look up from his papers when Conway came in Conway sat

across from him and asked slowly, “Has Sera forgiven you?”

Leandro paused a bit with his writing when he heard the question, and then replied, “Perhaps.”

What do you mean perhaps? You haven’t asked her what she thinks?” asked Conway.

Leandro finally put down his pen and looked at Conway, “Grandpa, you should know that sometimes

too much talk can make things more complicated”

Leandro knew perfectly well that the past with Seraphina wouldn’t just disappear easily. Even if she

really had completely forgotten about it, she was still at the very beginning of starting over.

The fact that she was willing to move forward was a surprise in itself.

He didn’t want to dig deeper into the reasons behind it.

They had plenty of time, and he couldn’t be asking too much of her now.

Conway was taken aback by his words and sighed, “Well, what’s the plan then? The wedding

preparations are still going on, and the wedding is just a few days away Should we tell everyone to

cancel? That’s a big decision.”

“What’s the big deal?” Leandro went back to his papers. “Just a word is enough.“”

He always did things his own way and didn’t care about social etiquette. Conway knew his personality

and knew there was no point in arguing, so he just sighed.

The next morning, Seraphina had just woken up when her maid knocked on her door, “Sera, are you

up?”

She sat up groggily and mumbled an answer.

“Your mom is here,” the maid said, “You should get up and come down for breakfast.”

At the sound of that, Seraphina was instantly awake.

Magdalen, who had always lived a carefree life, returned to Sunburst City with nothing after being

swindled out of all her assets at Velvetwood. However, she still lived a carefree life and had gone on a

trip a few days later. She had been gone for a few days and was just back now.

She got up slowly, freshened up a bit, and then went downstairs.

Magdalen was sitting with Conway at the breakfast table. Surprisingly, Leandro, who usually left before

seven–thirty, was still there, watching Valerio eat. breakfast

When she saw Seraphina coming over, Leandro pulled out the chair next to him for her.

It was a natural gesture, but Magdalen couldn’t help but take a second look.

Seraphina sat next to Leandro and then looked at Magdalen, giving her a small smile, “Mom, you’re

back?”

“Yep,” Magdalen replied nonchalantly, not saying much.

A lot had happened in the less than two weeks she had been gone. For instance, it had been revealed

that Seraphina had a child out of wedlock and Leandro had declared his love for her in a handwritten

letter. Magdalen hadn’t known about Seraphina having a child and raising that child until the child was

three, and now that she knew, she didn’t seem to react much or ask any questions.

Conway clearly didn’t want to bring up these issues in front of Seraphina, so he didn’t say anything and

just chatted with Magdalen about her trip. Seraphina didn’t have much of an appetite and only asked

for a couple of slices of toast Hearing this, Leandro said, “Give her a cup of warm milk.” Seraphina was

not pleased with her breakfast being arranged for her and glared at Leandro. She then looked at

Valerio and saw him trying to hide a

smile

Clearly, his breakfast had been arranged too, and he was happy to see Seraphina receiving the same

treatment.

She glared at Valerio as well, “You’re going to help me drink half of it later”

Valerio immediately turned serious and quietly ate his breakfast.

Seraphina turned her gaze back to the coffee next to Leandro and reached out to grab it, but Leandro

swatted her hand away and said, “Don’t drink coffee on an empty stomach”

Seraphina had just woken up and her mood hadn’t completely recovered yet. She snorted and said,

“Old people are always so concerned about their

health.”

Leandro glanced at her but didn’t reply.

Magdalen watched quietly for a while and then said slowly. “How are the wedding preparations going?”

There was a sudden silence at the table

Magdalen seemed to sense something and turned to look at Conway.

After the silence, Seraphina looked up and asked Conway. “The preparations should still be going

smoothly, right, grandpa?”

Conway immediately put down his utensils and looked at Seraphina seriously, “However you want it,

that’s how I’ll arrange it.”

Then I guess I won’t marry him after all, Seraphina said.

Disappointment flickered in Conway’s eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, “True, the preparations

were a bit rushed, and some things were not well thought out. A wedding is a once–in–a–lifetime event,

it has to be perfect. Waiting a bit longer is fine too”

“Marriage is inevitable sooner or later, wasting resources is not a good thing, I don’t approve,”

Seraphina propped up her chin and grinned, “The problem is, no one’s ever proposed to me. Just

vaguely marrying myself off to him like that, I’m not willing to.”

With that, she turned to look at Leandro.

The meaning of her words was clear

The wedding was already half prepared, and when she said she didn’t want to waste resources, it

meant she had no objections to the wedding proceeding as planned But she was bothered about not

getting proposed.

Conway almost burst out laughing when he heard this, quickly turning his gaze to Leandro, “Leandro!”

Leandro looked at Seraphina’s mischievous eyes, but only said slowly, “Do you care about these

things?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” Seraphina responded, “If I didn’t care, we could just go get married today. We

wouldn’t need a church ceremony or a big banquet, just something simple, right?”

“Leandro” Conway interjected immediately, “Seraphina has made her wishes clear. Why aren’t you

saying anything?”

Leandro of course understood this was Seraphina making her stance known, but such a declaration

wasn’t exactly a cause for celebration.

“All I have to do is propose?” Leandro finally spoke.

Seraphina had already averted her gaze, her expression cooling slightly, “If you don’t want to, forget it.

I’m not forcing you!”

As she laid down her napkin, preparing to leave, Leandro suddenly grabbed her hand and headed for

the door.
