Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 347

Seraphina just dropped the one question that Tania was dying to know.

How much Bowen spent tonight wasn’t what bothered her, but his attitude did.

As they were leaving, the staff delivered Bowen’s purchases to the car, and Tania’s gaze was glued to the ruby ring.

However, until the car left Cedarcrest Chateau and had gone some distance, Bowen still didn’t say a word.

Tania had been holding it in all night, and now she couldn’t take it anymore. She sharply reached out and knocked

on the driver’s seat, “Stop the car!”

The driver was flustered, “Ms. Martin…”

“I told you to stop!” Tania snapped, “Are you deaf?”

Left with no choice, the driver slowly pulled over.

Only then did Bowen speak, “What are you doing?”

“I didn’t do anything!” Tania snapped, “I don’t want to ride in your car! I’ll walk back myself!”

Just as she was about to open the door, Bowen reached out and grabbed her.

“Let go of me!” Tania struggled.

Bowen turned to the driver, “You go wait outside the car for a bit.”

The driver quickly got out, closing the door behind him and giving them some privacy.

Bowen turned back

Tania, “Everything was fine, why are you suddenly mad?”

Tania scoffed, “You can throw a tantrum, but I can’t?”

Hearing this, Bowen sighed, “I know I was off tonight, you should’ve told me earlier if you were upset.”

“Tell you?” Tania’s eyes welled up, “Didn’t you see how scary your face was! How could I dare to tell you? I didn’t

even dare to speak to you!”

Bowen held her in his arms and gave her a quick peck, “Was it really that scary?”

Tania shoved him away, turning her head to avoid answering.

“Then I apologize.” Bowen said, “I was wrong. It won’t happen again, okay?”

Tania still didn’t respond after hearing this.

Bowen was silent for a moment, then sighed again, “The watch and the ruby ring, they were both Sandra’s.”

Hearing this, Tania quickly turned to look at him, “They were hers? Then why did you tell the reporters earlier that

you didn’t know who they belonged to?”

“Those items were all tied to my relationship with Sandra.” Bowen said, “If I told the reporters the truth, it would be

the same as letting them dig up Sandra’s past. Sandra’s gone now. I don’t want her to be bothered by this.”

Tania paused, then asked, “So, why did Seraphina have those items?”

“Can’t you see that this charity auction tonight was specifically arranged by Seraphina for me?” Bowen said, “The

three items she brought out were all related to Sandra, she did it to provoke me…”

Tania suddenly grabbed his sleeve, “Why?”

“Recently, Leandro and I have been competing a lot in business. The Martin Group has successfully won over many

long-term partners of the Reynolds Group. Naturally, they would harbor resentment towards me.” Bowen said,

“This is clearly… their declaration of war against me.”

Tania frowned, “Business competitions are common, how could they use such methods to influence you?”

After hearing this, Bowen leaned down and kissed her again. This time, Tania didn’t avoid him.

“They did influence me a bit.” he said, “That’s why you got dragged into this… I’m sorry, can you forgive me?”

Tania was silent for a moment, then hummed in response, still looking a bit upset.

“Still angry?” Bowen asked, “Do you want to hit me or bite me?”

Tania lifted her hand and pinched him hard, then asked, “Who are you planning on giving the ring you bought back

at the auction to?”

Upon hearing this, Bowen replied quietly, “That belonged to Sandra, so I can’t give it to you.”

Even though Tania had prepared herself for his answer, she couldn’t control her anger when she heard him say it

out loud. Just as she was about to argue, she saw Bowen reach into the storage compartment and pull out a large

blue velvet box.

Her eyes widened in surprise as she stared at the box, only breaking her stare when Bowen opened it in front of

her.

Inside was a full set of emerald jewelry.

Tania suddenly covered her mouth, but couldn’t help laughing.

“Isn’t this better than that ring?” Bowen asked, “Are you still angry now?”

“You did this on-purpose!” Tania grabbed his tie, “You jerk, why didn’t you bring it out earlier?”

Bowen looked at her and slowly started to smile, “A gift like this should be given when you’re the angriest, right?

That’s when it’s most effective, right?”

Tania huffed again, then threw her arms around him.

Bowen lightly wrapped his arms around her waist, feeling her tight grip on him, his eyes slowly darkened.

After the auction was over, there was still a lot of work to be done on site.

Especially the payment part, it had to be settled and recorded under the supervision of a notary public, and

Seraphina had to be present.

“It might take a while here, why don’t you go back and rest?” Seraphina asked Leandro.

“No need.” Leandro replied, “You do your thing, I can chat with Spencer.”

Knowing that the owner of Cedarcrest Chateau, Spencer, was an important figure, Seraphina agreed. It was a rare

opportunity to interact with someone of his caliber, “Go ahead.”

By the time she finished all her work, it was already late into the night.

Seraphina walked into the garden from the hall, only to see Leandro sitting alone at a stone table in the garden,

accompanied by his bodyguard. There were two teacups on the table, but the tea inside had already gone cold.

“Where’s Spencer?” Seraphina asked.

Leandro slowly stood up, slipped off his suit jacket and put it around her.

“Look at the time, Spencer is not getting any younger. How could his people let him stay up late?”

Seraphina looked up at him, I sense some grudge in your voice.”

Leandro didn’t respond, just held her hand and walked out.

After a few steps, Seraphina said, “Here’s the thing, you’ve spent quite a lot of energy and money tonight. To show

my gratitude, I’ll give you a gift. Just name it.”

Upon hearing this, Leandro gave a slight smile, “That’s quite a thoughtful gift.”

Seraphina grumbled a bit, “Well, it’s the thought that counts. If you can’t think of anything, it will save me the

trouble.”

Leandro looked at her, but didn’t respond for a moment.

Seraphina thought that would be it, until they arrived back at Reynolds Manor, back to her room, back to her bed-

The moment Leandro laid on top of her, he asked a question, “Are you on your safe period?”
