Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 286

Chapter 286

Seraphina and Leandro were still standing on the balcony, watching Herman in the room looking all flustered. Seeing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but smirk.

She shot Leandro a glance, saying, “I really thought he was reliable before, but who knew he’d just run away when trouble comes. He’s even worse than me, I can’t believe he’s a cop.”

Leandro looked at her and slowly asked, “So, you wanna be a cop now?”

“Nope,” Seraphina responded flatly.

Leandro leaned against the balcony railing, silently looking at her, waiting for her to explain.

Seraphina flopped down on the balcony, right next to him, looking out at the night, and slowly explained, “I’m reckless, I have no boundaries, their line of work isn’t for me.”

Hearing her words, Leandro paused a bit, then pulled her into his arms.

Realizing what she had just said, Seraphina raised her eyebrows nervously.

Leandro quietly looked at her, finally just calmly saying, “Could you maybe think about the consequences a little bit more in the future?” Seraphina blinked, and after a moment of silence, she obediently responded, “Alright, I’ll be more cautious.”

Leandro clearly wasn’t satisfied with this answer, but didn’t say anything else. After a pause, he asked, “If one day, you were up against me, what would you do?”

Hearing this, Seraphina slowly repeated, “I[?”

“If.”

“So, you’re just asking hypothetically, not that you’ve actually done anything illegal, right?” Seraphiná asked back.

Leandro thought for a moment, then responded, “I suppose so.”

Seraphina, hearing his uncertain tone, wasn’t sure if he was serious or pretending. She tiptoed up to look at him, then after a moment, she scoffed and said, “Either way, the answer’s the same. Leandro, if there ever comes a day when you’re in such a situation, I won’t hesitate to expose everything.”

Hearing this, Leandro didn’t seem surprised, but he asked, “No hesitation at all?”

“None.”

“You won’t even have a moment of doubt?”.

“Nope.”

Leandro quietly nodded, not saying anything else.

Seeing his reaction, Seraphina didn’t want the conversation to just end like this.

“Got any other questions?”

“Nope.”

“Don’t you have anything to say?”

“Your decision is the right one, I have nothing to add,” Leandro replied.

Satisfied, Seraphina nodded and said, “So, better be wise and don’t mess up. If I find out, I won’t show any mercy.”

Leandro didn’t reply for a moment.

Seraphina suddenly pulled on him, “Say something.”

After looking at her for a moment, Leandro finally responded, “Okay.”

While they were talking, Herman had finished his phone call and came back out.

“I’ve already sent people to look into it,” he said. “Should have a response soon.”

Seraphina simply acknowledged him with a hum, saying nothing else. Leandro didn’t say anything either, instead turning to look out at the balcony.

The house was handpicked by Herman’s mother, who thought that he needed a comforting place to live due to his stressful work. Thus, Herman’s balcony was quite spacious and comfortable. But at that moment, the usually spacious and comfortable balcony suddenly felt awkward and tense.

Already anxious, Herman was a bit slow to notice the awkwardness. It was only when he was lighting his cigarette that he realized. something was off. He looked up at the two people standing next to him, “What’s up?”

Leandro didn’t turn around, but Seraphina answered, “I’m hungry. This is my first time at your place and I can’t even get a meal, how
