Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

What happened that night had been haunting Magnolia in her dreams, refusing to leave her alone.

In her eyes, it was the most humiliating night of her life, but also the most lucky one.

The humiliation came from the fact that she had always been proud of her talent, but due to her family’s sudden financial downfall, she was forced to use her body for trade.

The good fortune, however, was because of the man she met – Leandro Reynolds.

She had mentally prepared herself to endure even if the

The tall man was sitting alone in the private room, young, handsome, with a face full of depth and solitude.

At that moment, all her self-abandonment and despair evaporated. She was still nervous and uneasy, but perhaps at that moment, a hint of joy that she didn’t even notice herself flashed in her heart.

Meeting such an outstanding man far exceeded her expectations, let alone his attitude later.

He seemed to be waiting for someone, sitting on the couch alone, smoking calmly.

Hearing the sound, he looked up at her and there was a flash of annoyance in his eyes.

“You’re in the wrong place,” he said.

She stood at the door of the private room, one hand tightly holding the door handle, but her body didn’t move.

She knew she wasn’t in the wrong place.

She heard the conversation of his friends who asked her to come.

They said his behavior had been increasingly abnormal, his mood drastically changed, he even stopped attending gatherings and social

activities

They all knew about the changes in his family, but they didn’t want to see their friend, who they had grown up with, turn into this.

So, they arranged for her to be there.

Both suffering from family changes, both bearing everything alone, at that moment, she let go of the door handle and quietly replied, “I don’t think so. sir

He looked at her, his eyes devoid of any emotion, and asked, “Who sent you?”

“Mr. Lamont,” she said.

He seemed to understand something when he heard this, and a cold smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth.

“Then suit yourself, he said.

After that, he ignored her, smoking, drinking, checking his phone, making calls, completely disregarding her.

She sat rigidly on the couch next to him for a long time, always keeping a distance of at least two people between them.

Late at night, he put down his phone and leaned back on the couch to rest for a while.

She couldn’t resist sneaking a few glances at him.

He had drunk a lot that night, and under the effect of alcohol, was he already a bit dazed?

What should she do?

Just as she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.

In the quiet space, this sound was abrupt, and she took out her phone in a bit of panic, only to see a message from Mr. Lamont: [Did you finish your job?]

The brief message was likely probing the situation.

As for ‘finish your job”, as long as she didn’t reply, they probably thought it was “done”, right?

But should she reply now?

As she held the phone tightly in her hand, unsure of what to do next, his cold voice came from the side, “You can leave now, and I still pay you”

He only needed to mention it slightly, and she could recall the scene of that night in great detail.

“I remember,” Magnolia said, ‘Every word you said, I remember.”

Leandro suddenly looked at her again, his gaze cold as he said, “So what if you remember it?”

Magnolia finally heard some deeper implications in his cold words.

But… how could this be?

Every day of living and studying music abroad, she was looking forward to seeing him again, she imagined what it would be like the day she saw him again. She had been imagining for six full years.

The day had finally come, but why… why was it like this?

Magnolia didn’t understand why.

Before all this, Seraphina even told her that he had been in a complex mood since the night he saw her return, so why now that they were face to face, did he adopt such a cold attitude?

Could it be… that he was blaming her, blaming her for seeing Seraphina?

“I’m sorry” Magnolia was silent for a while, then started speaking again, “I know I shouldn’t have bothered you, but I really didn’t mean anything by it. You know, my thoughts have always been simple, you should understand what I mean…”

“My idea is pretty straightforward, Leandro cut her off before she could finish. “I don’t want any unrelated people or matters to affect me and my wife

Magnolia’s face suddenly changed, her disappointment was as clear as day.

“What… what do you mean?” She whispered, clearly thrown off.

Leandro couldn’t even be bothered to lift an eyelid, “How much clearer do I need to be, Ms. Magnolia?”

“I don’t get it…” Magnolia looked at him, utterly lost. “I don’t understand… why would you say something like this to me?”

This wasn’t Leandro, not the one she’d been missing and waiting for over the past six years.
