Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 506

Seraphina pressed her lips together, a hint of amusement in her voice as she said, “I'd actually be more worried if he turned out to be just some ordinary guy.”

She was fearless by nature, seemingly drawn to danger like a moth to a flame. The more treacherous the foe, the more she relished the challenge.

Even after reconnecting with Valerio, she had deliberately steered clear of some risky characters and situations, but when push came to shove, her heart still raced with excitement.

How could Leandro not understand what was going through her mind?

He reached out, his hand gently stroking her back, his voice a soft murmur, “With Simon looking out for you, Lionel wouldn't dare touch you. But remember, Simon isn't one to be trifled with either – he won't tolerate everything.”

“I'm actually quite curious to see where his limits are,” Seraphina replied.

Leandro fell silent, not responding immediately.

After a moment, Seraphina looked up at him again and asked, “What about you? Will you stand by me, no matter what I do?”

Leandro glanced down at her.

Continuing, Seraphina pressed, “Even if I were to, let's say, step out of line?”

After a brief pause, Leandro finally spoke, “What exactly do you think you could do that would force me to choose sides?”

“Oh, the list could be endless!” Seraphina started confidently but found herself at a loss for words. After all, Leandro, with his cool and calculated demeanor, had trusted her with Valerio from the get-go, even before he had fully grasped her current temperament. This unwavering trust was evident from the beginning. Otherwise, none of what followed would have happened.

Seraphina fell silent for a moment before asking, “What if I cheat on you?”

Leandro's reply came slowly, “Then you're welcome to try.”

Seraphina chuckled mischievously and agreed, “Alright.”

Halfway through their drive, they passed by the hospital where Lorenzo worked. Seraphina immediately instructed the driver to turn into the hospital parking lot.

She had already contacted Lorenzo and knowing that Leandro was on the night shift, she decided to pop over for some answers.

Upon arriving, Seraphina got out of the car and then turned to Leandro, “Are you coming with me?”

Leandro, clearly uninterested in the hospital visit, waved her off, “I need to make a call.”

That suited Seraphina just fine. She turned and strode into the hospital with a spring in her step.

Lorenzo was attending to a teenage girl who had come in for a late-night consultation. The girl, flush with embarrassment, was accompanied by a friend who was trying to stifle her giggles, especially whenever she glanced at Lorenzo's handsome, stoic face.

Unaffected by the girls' reactions, Lorenzo completed the examination with clinical detachment, prescribed the necessary medication, and sent them on their way.

Only then did Seraphina enter his office, slumping into the chair across from him with an exaggerated groan, “Lory, I'm feeling terrible. Give me a check-up, will you?”

Lorenzo didn't even lift his eyes from his computer screen, responding flatly, “You're fine. Go home and maybe a good scolding from your husband will do the trick.”
