Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464

Since Leandro had been injured, Seraphina found herself softening towards him more and more lately, and each time she did, it seemed to come with a price-

Especially when dealing with someone who was injured, when she had to take the initiative for most of their interactions, this kind of yielding was particularly exhausting.

Seraphina lay beside Leandro, being careful not to press on his wounds while also trying to pamper him-it was like she was a glutton for punishment.

It took all her patience until Leandro finally scrapped the idea of going out. The moment he did, Seraphina’s demeanor flipped, and she abruptly pushed him away, turning over to sleep.

But then Leandro snuggled up behind her again, wrapping an arm around her and inhaling the scent of her perfume and shampoo, murmuring, “I’m serious, we can let go of Valerio’s tutors.”

“Why?” Seraphina asked, turning to glance at him.

“He was a late talker, already an outsider to the world around him. Now that he’s finally speaking, of course he should integrate into school life, get used to the new world quickly,” Leandro replied.

“I know that,” Seraphina said, “but if he enrolls here and then we go back to Summitville, he’ll have to start all over again. That’s going to be hard on him.”

Hearing this, Leandro suddenly looked at her, “Back to Summitville?”

“Of course.” Seraphina raised her eyebrows, “We stayed in Sunburst City because of your hospitalization. But now you’re

discharged, and your wounds are healing. It’s time for us to go back to Summitville, don’t you think?”

After a moment’s gaze, Leandro slowly nodded in agreement, “Summitville is indeed a great place for recovery.”

Seraphina pulled back slightly, studying him closely, “What are you talking about? You’re coming back to Summitville with us?” “Can’t I?” Leandro countered.

“No,” Seraphina replied, “What if you discover the other man I’ve been keeping?”

Leandro gently caressed her face, “By then, you’ll realize you’ve been wasting your time.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but burst into laughter, “With the shape you’re in now? Dream on!”

After a round of teasing and laughter, Seraphina looked at Leandro again, “Are you really coming to Summitville with us?”

“What’s the problem?” Leandro asked..

“Aren’t you worried about leaving all the people and things behind in Sunburst City?” Seraphina pressed.

Leandro said, “What people and things do I have left to worry about?”

Seraphina hummed softly, turning away, “Just don’t go getting all homesick for Sunburst City once we’re in Summitville.”

Leandro twirled a strand of Seraphina’s hair in his fingers, falling silent for a moment.

After a brief stillness, Seraphina turned back to him, “I knew it! You didn’t mean it! Forget it, men are unreliable! My son and I can only rely on ourselves!”

“Hmm?” Leandro asked with interest, “And how do you plan to do that?”

Seraphina glared at him, “By getting him to adapt to Sunburst City all over again! What else?”

Leandro chuckled at her response, “Changed your mind?”

“Stop laughing,” Seraphina huffed, “It’s not for you, but for the safety of my other man!”

Leandro didn’t say anything more, just laughed softly, and then leaned in to kiss her.

As it turned out, even though Leandro had temporarily stepped back from the Reynolds Group’s affairs, he was still unable to leave Sunburst City behind so easily.

Gloria’s case had entered the trial phase, and he had much to do before the court date.

Seraphina didn’t pry into his business, watching as Keen, the lawyers, and others came and went from the house, while she focused on caring for Valerio./

A month later, the case went to court.

Suddenly, something seemed to strike Gloria, “Valerio… I told Karan to pick up a gift for Valerio. I wonder if she actually got it… I can’t bear to face him again, but getting a little something for him is the least I can do…”

“I’m certain that Karen took care of the task you entrusted her with.” Leandro responded.

As the car made its way to the airport, sure enough, Karan was already there waiting in the terminal. Upon seeing Gloria, she rushed over, grasping Gloria’s hands and bursting into tears.

“Enough with the tears,” Gloria chided. “I’m right here, aren’t I? In one piece.”

Karan, trying to regain composure, replied through her tears, “I’m just so relieved, that’s all.”

“Did you manage to get the gift I asked for?” Gloria inquired further.

Karan nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes, I got everything you asked for. It’s all at the house. Leandro, don’t forget to pick it up when you head back.”

Leandro nodded, then slowly said, “Karan, I’m entrusting my mom to your care.”

“Don’t worry,” Karan assured him. “I’ll be right by her side. The South is great; the air is clear, the climate’s mild, and the people are kind. It’s perfect for us-”

Gloria nodded, then turned to Leandro, “It’s getting late. You should head back.”

Leandro acknowledged but remained rooted to the spot.

Gloria didn’t hesitate. She pulled along the luggage that Karan had prepared earlier, strode towards the security checkpoint with Karan in tow.

Karan looked back repeatedly, but Gloria only glanced over her shoulder once before entering the checkpoint, offering a faint wave before disappearing from Leandro’s/view.

Leandro lingered in the airport for a long while, only leaving after the announcement that their flight had taken off without a hitch.
