Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 338

Perhaps Herman’s defensiveness was too obvious, Seraphina and Andrea were drawn to it. Seraphina greeted him

with a smile, while Andrea, who wasn’t too familiar with him, simply flashed a subtle smile, not showing too much

emotion.

Herman’s mood didn’t improve any.

At the dinner prep stage, Seraphina went into the kitchen, handing over some local products from Summitville to

the servants. To her surprise, as soon as she went into the kitchen, Herman followed.

Seraphina had a hunch he had something to say, so she wasn’t surprised to see him come in.

Sure enough, Herman walked into the kitchen and went straight to the point, “What’s the deal with you and

Andrea?”

Seraphina found his question amusing, looking up at him, “Seems like you have a beef with her. Did she cross you?”

“Didn’t I tell you, she had a thing for Leandro back in the day. How come you’re not on guard?” Herman said

seriously, “Plus, she’s from the Martin family.”

Seraphina wiped her hands with a paper towel, speaking slowly, “Yeah, she’s from the Martin family, but I don’t

think she’s a problem.”

“She’s from the Martin family, and you don’t think that’s a problem?” Herman seemed incredulous.

“The Martin family is problematic.” Seraphina said, “But that doesn’t mean everyone from the Martin family is,

right?”

Herman couldn’t argue with that, continuing, “What about her past with Leandro? Doesn’t that bother you?”

“Nothing really happened between them, why should I care?” Seraphina countered.

Herman suddenly folded his arms, scrutinizing Seraphina, “From what you’re saying, are you planning to be friends

with her?”

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle, then nodded, “Yep, that’s the plan.”

Hearing this, Herman smirked, a look of disbelief and helplessness on his face. Seraphina figured she must look like

a fool to him right now.

“Time will tell.” Seraphina said, “Who’s right, you or me, we’ll see.”

“You better think it through.” Herman seemed helpless, and with that, he turned around and walked out of the

kitchen.

The house rarely had guests, but today they had two, plus Seraphina and Valerio were home, making it quite lively.

Unfortunately, throughout all the bustle, Herman never really looked at Andrea.

Andrea, however, didn’t seem to mind. She maintained a calm expression throughout, politely responding to

Conway, calmly chatting with Seraphina, and occasionally attending to Valerio beside her.

During the after-dinner chitchat, Herman and Andrea each talked about their own stuff, not responding to each

other’s topics.

Leandro didn’t care about all this, and Seraphina didn’t seem to mind either. It wasn’t until they were about to leave

when Seraphina said to Herman, “Mr. Herman, could you give Andrea a ride home?”

Hearing this, Herman froze, “Why?”

“You’re a man, and she’s a single woman.” Seraphina said, “Why not be a gentleman?”

Andrea smiled a little, saying, “It’s okay, I can get home by myself.”

“It’s late, I’d rather have someone take you home.” Seraphina said, then turned to Herman.

Even though Herman didn’t like Andrea, as a rich boy, he was able to show some class when it mattered. So, he

quickly opened his car door, saying, “Get in.”

Andrea didn’t refuse again. After saying goodbye to Seraphina and Leandro, she got into Herman’s car.

Herman turned around, gave Seraphina a look, then got in the car and drove off.

Seraphina waved with a smile, watching the car leave the courtyard. Only then did she turn around.

When she turned around, Leandro was looking at her with a serious face, asking, “Are you trying to play

matchmaker?”

“Why not?” Seraphina didn’t deny it, “Although Herman can be a bit blunt, I still think he’s a trustworthy guy and

comes from a good family. I want to introduce him to my sister.”

Leandro made no comment.

“What?” Seraphina walked up to him, asking, “You think it’s impossible?”

“I didn’t say that.”

Seraphina smiled, then said, “Herman doesn’t like her because she’s from the Martin family, and he always tells me

to stay away from her. If they end up together, I’ll have something to tease him about for the rest of his life.”

Leandro didn’t comment on her wicked sense of humor, just took her hand and went back into the house.

“What do you think about her being from the Martin family?” Seraphina asked Leandro.

From his current attitude, Seraphina could tell he trusted Andrea, but she wanted a more definitive answer.

“I had her investigated.” Leandro replied.

Sure enough.

Seraphina asked again, “And what did you find?”

“She’s cold, a bit aloof.” Leandro said, “But there’s nothing suspicious about her.”

Hearing this, Seraphina fell silent for a moment.

“What?”

Seraphina sighed, then said slowly, “She must be pretty lonely too:

She’s the lady of the Martin family on the surface, but in reality, she’s an illegitimate child;

Simon Martin was knee-deep in running the Martin Group, spending most of her time with a mom who had no blood

ties with her.

Being born into the Martin Group family, she saw all the drawbacks of the Martin Group quite clearly and logically

wanted out…

So, when she figured out her relationship with Seraphina, she didn’t hesitate to accept Seraphina.

Maybe it’s because… she had been alone for way too long.

In Herman’s car, driving Andrea home, there was a long stretch of silence even after they’d been on the road for a

while.

Andrea didn’t seem to mind, just quietly looking at the road ahead.

Herman, on the other hand, seemed a bit uneasy. Finally, he couldn’t keep it to himself anymore, “Do you mind if I

put on some music?”

“Not at all.” Andrea replied.

Soon music filled the car. Hearing the intro, Andrea looked towards the central control screen.

“In the dead of night, gazing at the stars alone, the stars remain constant every night, shining brightly…”

Andreà chuckled lightly, “This is an old song.”

Herman glanced at her, “As long as it sounds good, right?”

Andrea just smiled faintly, not saying anything else.

Herman didn’t want to say more either. He just listened to the music and focused on driving.

When he got Andrea to her front door, he paused a bit, got out of the car, and opened the door for her.

“Thanks,” Andrea didn’t say much, “I’ll get out of your hair now, bye.”

With that, she turned and walked towards the villa.

Herman got back in the car, watched her go inside, then started the car again and drove away.

Just as Andrea got inside, her phone rang-

“In the dead of night, gazing at the stars alone, the stars remain constant every night, shining brightly…”

Hearing this familiar, tune, Andrea paused a bit before picking up the call.

“Dad, yeah, I’m home now…”
