Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 68

Seraphina was dining alone with ten elders of the Reynolds family.

Seven years ago, she might have been too scared to even sit at the table in such a situation, but today,

she was eating quite comfortably.

Apart from Bruce, everyone else also talked to her, albeit a bit stiffly, and the topics were all trivial.

But Gloria was the only one who didn’t say a word throughout the meal, just quietly eating her food, not

even bothering to glance more than once at Seraphina.

But Seraphina didn’t mind, she was happily eating and chatting on her own.

After dinner, Bruce directly invited Seraphina to stay over.

“We’ve always had a room prepared for you at home. Now that you’re back, you should stay,” Bruce

said. “The house is spa c ious and comfortable. Why would you want to stay out?”

Bruce always treated her like family, and Seraphina felt his words were sincere, even though she

wasn’t entirely sure if they were all true.

“No, I’m good living outside. This place is too big. I’m afraid I’ll get lost, Seraphina said.

“Getting lost in your own house?” Bruce said, “You’ll have to move back sooner or later.”

Was he seriously treating her as Leandro’s fiancée? Seraphina couldn’t help but want to laugh, “Who

says I have to move in? I don’t want

to.”

As soon as she said this, everyone in the room had their own interpretations, and some started to

worry.

“Given your relationship with Leandro, isn’t it normal for you to move back?” Leonard Reynolds, the

third son of the Reynolds family,

said.

“What relationship do I have with him?” Seraphina laughed, “I can’t afford to aim that high.”

Upon hearing this, Billy Reynolds, the fourth son of the Reynolds family, said: “You grew up in the

Reynolds family. It would be good for you to move back and spend more time with grandpa. He’s

missed you all these years you’ve been away.”

His implication was that she should listen to the elders of the Reynolds family, and stop causing trouble

for them.

Seraphina just laughed and didn’t respond.

Gloria had been watching with cold eyes, and just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden

commotion at the entrance of the hall. Everyone turned to see Leandro walking in from outside.

Upon seeing him, everyone relaxed a bit.

“Oh, this is quite a surprise!” A younger aunt immediately went up to him with a smile, “Leandro, I

haven’t seen you in a long time. What a coincidence today. Look at you, why are you so thin? Don’t

work too hard, rest more.”

Leandro nodded in acknowledgment and went up to greet the elders.

Gloria, who had been expressionless all night, now looked slightly warmer, “What brings you home

today? Have you eaten yet?”

“I ate nearby” Leandro was still cold as ever, “Just thought I’d stop by.”

“You came back at the perfect time.” Bruce said, “Seraphina was about to leave. You should take her

home and spend some time with her.”

The moment he finished speaking, Seraphina saw Gloria’s face darken and she couldn’t help but want

to laugh.

But if she let Leandro take her home, wouldn’t that be like walking into a trap?

“I’m not going back.” Seraphina said, “If Bruce wants me to stay, then I’ll stay! Where’s my room?”

Bruce then laughed, “I’ll have someone show you.”

*Alright.” Seraphina stood up and followed a ser vant to the second floor.

As Seraphina’s figure disappeared up the stairs, Leonard finally turned to Leandro, “Leandro, I don’t

mean to criticize you, but you really let your guard down this time. It’s clear that she’s using you. I never

thought she’d become this tricky. What is she trying to do?”

“Do what?” an aunt chimed in, “Isn’t she just hoping against hope that she can still have a relationship

with Leandro and use it as a way to enter our Reynolds family? Now that she thinks she has some

power, she’s acting all high and mighty in front of us! Once this period passes, we’ll see if she can still

be so smug!”

Bruce frowned at this, “Enough! I was the one who asked her lo come back and stay!”

The Reynolds siblings looked at Bruce, and in the end, they were overpowered by his authority and did

not say anything more. Only the aunt kept muttering. “Everyone knows why you’re partial towards

her…”

Bruce glared at her, and she finally shut up for good.

Gloria’s face turned ashen due to these words. Just when she was about to blow up, Leandro stood up.

“I’m going back first.”

Seeing this, Gloria quickly stood up to stop him, “It’s rare for you to come back, stay at home tonight.

Don’t go back and forth, won’t you

be tired?”

“Valerio has been a bit feverish these past few days.” Leandro said.

Hearing this, Gloria frowned slightly. “Then let Karan bring him over. There are so many of us at home,

we can take care of one child.”

She then took out her phone, “I’ll call her to bring the child over, you go up and take a shower first.”

Leandro only replied when he heard this, and then went upstairs.

On the second floor of Reynolds Vista Retreat, there was a storage room filled with clothes and jewelry

sent regularly by various famous stores for guests’ needs. Seraphina was looking at the room, picking

out clothes. She looked up and saw Leandro standing at the door. Seraphina held up a dress and tried

it on in front of the mirror. As soon as she saw him enter, she immediately started laughing and asked,

‘Do I look good?”

Leandro didn’t answer, but walked in and gestured for the serv ants accompanying Seraphina to leave.

Seraphina watched the ser vant exit and close the door behind him, then innocently asked, “My darling

fiancé, is there something we can’t let others know about?”

Leandro strolled to the center of the room, took a seat on the couch, lit a cigarette, and finally turned to

Seraphina. With a deep voice, he said, “How would you know if the skirt looks good on you if you don’t

try it on?”

“You’re right!” Seraphina played along, quickly starting to remove her own skirt.

Leandro sat still, unfazed.

In front of Leandro, Seraphina didn’t hesitate to take off her skirt, revealing a large patch of skin. Then

she slowly put on the skirt in her hand, walked barefoot to Leandro, and sat directly on his lap.

“Do you think it looks good?” Seraphina asked. “I don’t get to wear designer clothes often.”

While speaking, she placed Leandro’s hand on her back.

“I can’t reach the zipper on the back, could you help me with it?” She batted her eyelashes at him,

pleadingly. “Can you, my darling fiancé?”

Leandro’s hand was right at the zipper, but he didn’t move.

Seraphina didn’t rush him. She nuzzled against him, and when he still showed no reaction, she lowered

her head and gently kissed the corner of his lips. Then, slowly, she covered his lips with hers.

In this intimate moment, Leandro unzipped the dress.
