Tangled in His Obsession ( Seraphina )

Chapter 399 

At that night, time seemed to stretch on endlessly. 

Seraphina dozed off for a bit, and when she woke up, she found herself alone in the bed. 

The lamp by the bed was dimmed to its lowest setting, casting the room in near darkness. There was clearly no one else in the roorn. 

Rubbing her eyes, Seraphina reached for her phone to check the time: it was already half past two in the morning. 

Could it be that Leandro was still working at this hour? 

After lying in bed for a bit without any sign of Leandro’s return, Seraphina finally got up and put on her robe. 

Just as she was stepping out of their bedroom, she saw Karah coming up the stairs, carrying a steaming plate of pasta. 

Just as she suspected, the light was still on in Leandro’s study. 

Seeing Seraphina, Karan was slightly surprised, then broke into a smile. “Having trouble sleeping without Leandro by your side?” 

Seraphina just glanced at the plate of pasta in Karan’s hands. “He asked you to cook him pasta at this hour? Isn’t that a bit demanding?” 

“No, no,” Karan hurriedly explained. “I couldn’t sleep, and when I saw him working, I asked him if he had eaten anything for dinner. The answer was no. Considering his stomach wasn’t well, I thought I’d cook him some pasta.” 

Hearing this, Seraphina’s expression softened slightly. 

Karan then handed her the bowl of pasta. “Since you’re up, you can take this to him. Make sure he eats it all. Young as he is, he still needs to take care of his health.” 

Seraphina took the plate, nodded, and headed for Leandro’s study. 

Pushing the door open, she found Leandro still deep in his work, not even looking up at the sound of the door opening. 

Seraphina moved closer, placing the pasta next to him. 

Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or perhaps it was her familiar scent, but Leandro suddenly looked up at her. 

“Why are you awake?” he asked. 

Seraphina didn’t answer, just leaned in to peek at the pile of documents in front of him. 

“Are you really that busy?” she asked. “Shouldn’t all this work have been done during the day?” 

Leandro simply replied, “Some other things came up.” 

Seraphina gave him a knowing look. 

She knew that work always came first for Leandro, and the only things that could disrupt his work were the Reynolds family matters. But she and their son Valerio hadn’t caused any trouble, and there didn’t seem to be any issues with Gloria either… 

Seraphina had a feeling that something was weighing on him. 

But she didn’t say anything, just glanced at the pasta. “I want some too.” 

Leandro gave her a quick glance, then put down his work and left the room. 

In a little while, he came back with a fork. 

They shared the pasta, Seraphina taking a small portion of pasta, leaving the rest for Leandro. 

In the quiet early hours of the morning, the two of them, after an intimate encounter, sat in the study, sharing a plate of warm pasta. 

After slowly finishing her portion of pasta, Seraphina looked at Leandro. 

“Karan asked me to make sure you finish all of it, so her effort won’t go to waste,” she said. 

Leandro didn’t say much, just quietly ate the pasta. 

Perhaps Seraphina was watching him too intently, he eventually turned to look at her. “Do you want to ask me something?” 

Seraphina paused for a moment, then slowly shook her head. “No.” 

“Are you sure?” 

Seraphina shrugged innocently. “Really, I’m just here to make sure you eat your pasta 

Leandro didn’t say anything more, just quietly finished his pasta. 

Then Seraphina got up, started cleaning up the dishes, and said, “Oh, I forgot to tell you, I saw Bowen today… I have a feeling he won’t give up his revenge so easily, so be careful.” 

Leandro just gave a nod. 

As Seraphina was about to take the dishes downstairs, Leandro suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms. 

“What about Sandra?” he finally asked. 

Seraphina shook her head calmly. “I don’t care about her.” 

“Not even if she were to disappear from this world completely?” Leandro asked. 

Seraphina was quiet for a moment, then said, “I don’t believe in fate. I believe that everyone chooses their own path. As long as she’s not being forced or murdered… I have no opinion on the path she chooses.” 

Leandro just held onto her hand, not saying a word. 

She had made her stance clear, and set her boundaries. 

And beyond that, there were no more words. 

Leandro knew that she chose not to care. 

She handed all the decision-making power to him, because… was it because she finally trusted him completely? 

She trusted him to consider her feelings, to make the right decisions for her, and never to cross her boundaries. 

Leandro was pondering, while Seraphina suddenly leaned in and said, “So, the only thing I’m concerned about right now is whether or not you’re going to the amusement park with Valerio tomorrow.” 

Leandro looked at her slightly upturned lips and said, “Would you be disappointed if I didn’t go?” 

“You do whatever you want!” Seraphina said, tired of arguing with him. She picked up the empty plate and left the study. 

Watching her retreating figure, Leandro sat in silence for a moment, then a small smile appeared on his lips. 

The next morning, when Seraphina woke up, she was still alone in the bed. 

When her excited son Valerio dragged her out of the room, she found that Leandro was nowhere to be found in the house. 

He had clearly left early in the morning. 

Valerio was a bit disappointed, his eyes drooping slightly. 

“No pouting,” Seraphina said, pinching his cheeks. “If he doesn’t want to go, that’s fine. We can still have a great time, just two of us.” 

Soon, Seraphina was all packed up, leading Valerio out the door. 

But when they arrived at the amusement park, they were greeted with a silent scene. The park, which was normally bustling with laughter and fun, was eerily quiet. 

“Oh no,” Seraphina said, turning to Valerio with a puzzled expression. “Did I get the days mixed up? Could it be Friday instead of Saturday? Did I inadvertently make

Valerio gave her a deadpan look and showed her his wristwatch. 

“It is Saturday,” Seraphina said, “And the park doesn’t mention any special closures for today, why is it so empty?” 

No sooner had she spoken, the manager of the amusement park came bustling out, greeting Seraphina with enthusiasm. “Mrs. Reynolds, Valerio, everything is ready for you. You can go in anytime.” 

Seraphina exchanged a glance with Valerio, “Your dad didn’t go mad, did he? Just the two of us in this huge park, isn’t that a bit creepy?” 

“No, no,” the manager hurriedly explained, “There are also Valerio’s classmates. Today, our amusement park is only open to Valerio and his classmates.” 

At that, Valerio’s eyes lit up. 

Seraphina, however, was still shaking her head, the phrase “mad as a hatter” running through her mind. 

Then she turned to the bodyguards following behind her, “Well, at least with fewer people, your job will be a bit easier… Wait, where’s Abbot?” 

“Madam, the Reynolds Group has important clients visiting these days and requires strict protection, so Abbot has been temporarily reassigned.” 

At this, Seraphina was stunned for a moment before she burst into uncontrollable laughter.
