Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 327

Chapter 327

The house still has people living in it. The house they were looking at used to be the small home of Seraphina and her family. Now, it has new residents.

The door was tightly shut. Only a corner of the curtains allowed a peek inside.

Seraphina pressed her face against the window for a long time before finally turning around and whispered, “Everything’s changed.”

Seraphina turned around and sat down on the steps in front of the house. She looked past Leandro, quietly observing the courtyard.

“Mom used to wash her hair in that corner… In the summer, we would have dinner in the yard… Mom tried to learn how to cook from the lady next door once, but she got burnt from the get-go. Dad couldn’t bear to see her work so he continued cooking… But sometimes dad would forget to eat or sleep when he was painting, mom would take me out for meals, at that place in the alley, it’s still there after all these years…”

Seraphina propped her chin up and slowly recounted the memories of the past, getting lost in them as she spoke.

Leandro stood quietly in front of her, always maintaining his silence.

Until suddenly a resident walked into the courtyard from the outside. Seeing the two of them, he couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you? This is not open for visits!”

Seraphina snapped back to reality, looked up and her eyes instantly lit up, “Mr. Manley?”

Called out like this, Manley was taken aback. He looked at her carefully but still didn’t r

t recognize her,

Seraphina immediately stood up and pointed at the house behind her, “I’m Seraphina.”

“Who are you?”

“Seraphina?” Manley recalled for a moment, then started laughing in realization, “Oh my, it’s you, the little missy. You’ve grown so big, so beautiful, I didn’t recognize you! It’s been so many years, why are you just coming back now?”

Seraphina walked up smiling, turned to Leandro and introduced him, “This is Mr. Manley, our neighbor. He took care of me a lot when I was a kid. When my parents weren’t around, I would eat at their house.”

Leandro extended his hand to Manley, “Mr. Manley, hello, I’m Leandro.”

“Is this… your boyfriend?” Manley asked with a smile, looking at Leandro.

Seraphina glanced at Leandro and shrugged, “He’s my husband.

“You’re married?” Manley laughed even harder, “Great, a handsome and beautiful young couple, perfect for each other… By the way, how are your parents? They haven’t been back for so many years, no word at all.”

Hearing this question, Leandro’s eyes darkened, looking at Seraphina.

Seraphina dropped her eyes, smiling faintly, “My dad… passed away over a decade ago…”

Manley’s smile froze on his face, “How could this happen?”

“Not long after we moved, my dad was admitted to the hospital.” Seraphina said, “I was too young back then, I don’t remember what illness he had… All I knew was that his health was deteriorating day by day, and he passed away not long after…”

Manley sighed with regret upon hearing this, “How about your mom?”

Hearing this, Seraphina’s eyes reddened, but she still smiled, “My mom also passed away, just yesterday.”

Manley’s face turned serious immediately.

Leandro reached out and held Seraphina close.

Manley looked at Seraphina with pity, and after a while, he said, “You have to be strong.”
