Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 245

Chapter 245

“Ah, I gotcha” Seraphina instantly showed understanding, but her expression was still relaxed and cheerful, “You mean this? No biggie, don’t sweat it.”

Upon seeing this, Magnolia said seriously, “Mrs. Reynolds, I’m being totally sincere.”

“I’m not fibbing either.” Seraphina raised her hands, got up, and went to the water dispenser to pour Magnolia a glass of ice water, then continued, “I totally get your feelings, after all, this involves someone super important in your life. You definitely want to present your best self to him. Can’t speak for dudes, but us girls can sometimes be a little dumb like that.”

As Seraphina spoke, she put the water in front of Magnolia and gave her a slight smile.

Magnolia’s face didn’t relax a bit. She looked at Seraphina and slowly said, “Mrs. Reynolds, I know you and Mr. Reynolds went through a lot to end up together. I really don’t want to cause any trouble for you.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle, ‘No matter what we’ve been through, it’s all water under the bridge. High society marriages may seem glamorous but the reality… only he and I know.”

“How is that possible? Magnolia said, “Even though I just returned to the country, I’ve been following the news while abroad. I know Mr. Reynolds treats you very well.”

“With his status, keeping up appearances is super important.” Seraphina answered smilingly, then added, “You’ve been abroad for so many years, you probably haven’t seen him much, right?”

Magnolia lowered her head slightly and smiled, “Mr. Reynolds and I… we only met once, six years ago.”

“Just one meeting and he was willing to sponsor your cello studies abroad, you must be pretty special Seraphina said, “Of course, it’s proven that you’re worth it.”

‘That’s just Mr. Reynolds being super generous.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh again, ‘Generous? Depends on who you’re talking about. He might not be so generous to others.”

“Mrs. Reynolds, please don’t get the wrong idea.” Magnolia said, “There’s nothing special between Mr. Reynolds and me.”

“In fact, you don’t need to explain this to me. If he’s good to you, that’s your good fortune” Seraphina was still smiling. “You haven’t seen each other in six years, you must have a lot to say to him, right? Want me to arrange a meeting?”

Upon hearing this, Magnolia’s face changed slightly, “Mrs. Reynolds, I think you might have misunderstood. Mr. Reynolds

and I-”

“You know what?” Seraphina suddenly interrupted her, “That night when he saw you at the concert hall, he was a bit off-kilter when he got home. Such a thing rarely happens to Leandro. It’s quite clear that you’re different to him.”

Magnolia paused, just looking at Seraphina.

“So, you don’t need to rush to clear your name.” Seraphina said, “If you’re wrong, does that make your existence a mistake… why should we apologize for being ourselves?”

Magnolia was silent for a while, then regained her composure, “Mrs. Reynolds, you’re not quite what I imagined.”

“I really admire you, Ms. Magnolia.” Seraphina said, “You’ve achieved so much starting from scratch, it’s really impressive.” “That’s all thanks to Mr. Reynolds’ help.”

Seraphina laughed, “It’s also because you’ve worked your tail off.”

Magnolia fell silent.

Seeing that her eyes seemed to be reminiscing, Seraphina didn’t interrupt her.

Just then, there was a knock at the office door.

Sandy poked her head in, her voice a bit hoarse with excitement, “Mrs. Reynolds, Mr. Reynolds is here.”

Upon hearing this, Magnolia looked at Seraphina with surprise, the rest of her emotions hidden in her calm gaze.
