Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 218

Chapter 218

Leandro dropped his black coat as he walked in, answering at the same time, “Just got back from Reynolds Vista Retreat.”

From Reynolds Vista Retreat?” Seraphina spun around to follow him, “You know grandpa doesn’t like hearing or seeing certain things about that place, why didn’t you come back with him?”

Karan, who was in the kitchen, heard their conversation and came out to ask Leandro if he needed anything to eat. Leandro waved him off and as he was about to head upstairs, responded to Seraphina, “Grandpa’s going to stay at Reynolds Vista Retreat for a while.”

“What?” Seraphina quickly grabbed Leandro’s arm, “Grandpa’s old, he can’t handle all that stress. Do you really think he can be happy there? What if he gets upset again and ends up in the hospital?”

Leandro paused, turning around to look at her, “Grandpa’s been through a lot, he’s not as frail as you think.”

Just as Seraphina was about to say something, Karan interrupted, “Sera, let Leandro go rest, look at him, he’s beat.”

Seraphina then looked closely at Leandro’s face. He was always full of energy, like a never-tiring superman, but now, his eyes were a bit red, clearly he was really tired.

Seraphina was silent for a moment, then asked, “Have you been up for two days straight?”

Considering Gloria’s erratic mood these past two days, he’d been busy with work during the day and taking care of Gloria at Reynolds Vista Retreat at night, it was no wonder he was exhausted.

“Yep.” Leandro responded.

“Then I’ll leave you alone. Seraphina said, “Go take a shower, then get some rest”

She walked Leandro upstairs, saw him to the second floor, then dashed downstairs to call Conway on her cell phone.

Conway picked up quickly

Hearing his calm and steady voice, Seraphina felt slightly relieved, but she still complained about his sudden return to Reynolds Vista Retreat

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Conway said, “I may be old, but in this family, besides you, who dares to neglect me? Even Gloria wouldn’t dare. If I’m here, she’ll consider my feelings a bit more, and her own mood will be more stable.”

“She doesn’t want to see you” Seraphina said, “Your presence there will just annoy her more.”

“So, what should we do? Have Leandro keep vigil there every night?” Conway sighed, “He’s got enough on his plate, I don’t want to see him burning himself out Has he come home?”

“He’s back.” Seraphina replied, “But you’re not planning on coming back, are you?”

Conway said, “Well, Christmas is coming. Might as well spend it here, saves them the trouble of running back and forth. As for you, go wherever you want with Leandro, dont worry about me.”

Seraphina frowned at this, and after a moment said quietly, “We’ll see

After taking a shower, Leandro was checking his messages when Keen called.

“Mr. Reynolds, the missus just asked me to cancel your schedule for today, she wants you to rest. Keen said, I’ve started making the arrangements.

Leandro hadn’t planned on taking the day off, and he paused before responding. ‘Did she reach out to you?”

“Yes,” Keen seemed uncertain about Leandro’s reaction, he continued, “You haven’t rested for two days, today’s schedule isn’t urgent, it could easily be postponed…”

“Alright “Leandro responded, then hung up.

On the other end of the line, Keen was taken aback, holding the phone. The Leandro he knew, who never seemed to tire, was persuaded to put off his work so easily?

This wasn’t the Leandro he knew this wasn’t the Leandro he knew at all…

While Keen was deep in thought on the other end of the line, Leandro casually took off his robe, pulled back the covers and climbed into bed, falling into a deep sleep.

He didn’t sleep forlong, waking up at four in the afternoon.
