Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

After deciding to move into Balch’s villa, Seraphina took a very serious tour of the house.

The whole house has eight bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, and Seraphina can enter most areas, but there are still two rooms that she can’t open.

She knew very well what was in those two rooms, and she didn’t seem to care much about it. After visiting the remaining rooms, she turned around and bumped into Balch who was coming down the stairs

Seraphina leaned against the hallway wall and watched him, I’ve seen about everything, so which room will be mine?”

“Any room you fancy?” Balch asked

Seraphina shrugged, “they are all the same to me really.”

Balch took a couple of steps forward, gradually getting closer to her.

Seraphina’s breathing subtly tightened.

“If you don’t mind, you could bunk in my room.” Balch dropped his eyes, looking at Seraphina, he slowly said.

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “If I take your room, where are you gonna sleep?”

Balch didn’t answer but reached out and put his hand on Seraphina’s waist.

In this romantic and ambiguous atmosphere, Seraphina’s body stiffened slightly.

Balch easily noticed her reaction, but Seraphina seemed to want to hide it, she took the initiative to move forward and hug his waist.

Balch was quiet for a moment before he smiled slightly. “It’s okay, I’ll wait until you’re ready.”

After hearing this, Seraphina spoke in a somewhat low voice: “I m not-

But Balch just gently patted her on the back, saying: “You’ve been too tense lately. Take some time to rest.”

Seraphina leaned into his arms without moving. After a while, she finally said. “You’re being so nice to me. I might just fall for you…”

Balch couldn’t help but chuckle. Before he could say anything, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

The two exchanged glances, and Balch took Seraphina’s hand and led her downstairs to open the door.

Unsurprisingly, the person standing at the door was Karan, who had just seen their every move.

She saw Balch and Seraphina holding hands, her face suddenly changed, she slapped Seraphina’s hand hard, making Seraphina pull her hand back in pain, she sternly asked, “Seraphina, what on earth are you doing?”

Although Balch didn’t make a big move, he still stepped forward to protect Seraphina. Seraphina rubbed her hand, looking at her somewhat wronged, “Karan, what are you doing?”

“What am I doing? Don’t you know your place?” Karan looked at Seraphina and Balch, “As Leandro’s fiancée, you came here, holding hands with another man, what’s the meaning of this?”

Hearing this, Seraphina glanced at Balch and then slowly said, “Karan, everyone knows that’s just a strategy to salvage the reputation of the Reynolds Group. I’ve been playing along in front of the reporters, isn’t that enough? Or do you want me to totally sell myself out?”

“Even if you’re playing a role, you should play it all the way through” Karan glanced at Balch, What you are doing now? It’s simply shameless!”

“Karan.” Balch finally spoke up to defend Seraphina, “Seraphina is my friend. As for her relationship with Mr. Reynolds, I will talk to him personally. You don’t need to worry”

Hearing this, Karan glared at them for a while, then stormed off.

Seraphina turned to look at Balch and shrugged helplessly.

Balch squeezed her hand, “I’ll take care of it.”

“I don’t really care if you can’t.” Seraphina huffed, saying, “I’m a free woman, not Leandro’s item. It’s not his place to tell me how to live.”

Late at night, Leandro’s car slowly drove into the garage.

When Karan heard the noise in her room, she immediately put on her clothes and went downstairs, just in time to see Leandro come in.

“Why are you only just coming back? Karan rushed up to Leandro, “Do you know, that shameless woman Seraphina, she went home with Balch today!”

Leandro took off his suit and changed his shoes, but only asked, “Oh really?”

“What kind of response is that?” Karan looked at him. “Are you just going to let her run wild?”

As Leandro walked in, he replied, “What else can I do?”

Knowing that his indifference was a sign of his bad mood, Karan lost her temper, “How should I know? If you’re in a good mood, go get her back. If you’re not, find a way to get rid of her!”

Leandro paused, turned to look at her, “You don’t like her, do you? She’s not around me, you should be happy”

Karan rolled her eyes. “Does my opinion matter? Who’s gonna listen to me? Would you? If you did, you wouldn’t have brought her into this house in the first place!

As she spoke, she walked past Leandro and went upstairs, muttering complaints as she went, “She’s always causing trouble!*

Leandro didn’t respond to her complaints, but walked over to the liquor cabinet and got himself a drink.

After finishing his drink, he sat quietly on the couch staring at the rim of the glass for a long time. Then he put down the glass and went upstairs.

From the study on the second floor, the mansion across the street could be seen, lurking in the night, like a beast ready to devour
