Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 280

Seraphina spent all day at home with Valerio, successfully cheering up the grumpy Valerio, who had been mad because of her recent busyness.

At five in the afternoon, Leandro came home, just as Seraphina was getting ready to take Valerio out.

The two of them had just changed and were coming down the stairs when they ran into Leandro who had just walked in.

Upon seeing Leandro, Valerio stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Seraphina.

Seraphina just shrugged, not giving a clear indication.

“Where are you guys going?” Leandro asked.

“Dinner, then a movie,” Seraphina replied, before asking, “You’re home so early today?”

Leandro grunted in response, then came over to straighten Valerio’s already neat little suit, casually asking, “What movie are you guys seeing?”

Valerio turned to Seraphina again, and so did, Leandro.

Suddenly, Seraphina felt cornered.

Were this father and son duo both waiting for her to invite Leandro along?

But the more she felt this way, the less she wanted to speak. She walked forward, took Valerio’s hand, and smiled at Leandro, saying, “Well, see you later then.”

With that, she started to walk out with Valerio, but Leandro’s face fell and he reached out to grab her.

Seraphina turned to look at him, and Leandro simply said, “Wait for me.”

Then he went upstairs. Seraphina and Valerio shared a look, and Valerio grinned.

In a short while, Leandro came down the stairs in different clothes, joini

Since it was still early, the three of them went to see a movie first.

for their date.

Since it was Saturday, they watched a cartoon movie. The cinema was filled with kids, most of whom were giggling and playing around. And in their theater, more than half of the audience were children.

Most kids love to find resonance when watching a drama, especially when surrounded by peers, so the whole theater was noisy with kids loudly discussing the plot, especially the two behind them, who were the loudest.

In the darkness, Seraphina sneakily glanced at Leandro and saw him slightly o

watching the big screen intently.

Looking at Valerio sitting in between them, he was in the same pose, with the same expression, watching the big screen. They were exactly the same.

Just as Seraphina was about to look away, Leandro suddenly turned to look at her.

Seraphina thought for a moment, then leaned in closer to him, whispering in his ear over Valerio, “Kids can be a real headache, right?”

Leandro just glanced at her and replied, “I don’t think so.”.

At his response, Seraphina couldn’t help but pout, and Leandro turned his gaze back to the big screen.

After the movie, to soothe the headache caused by the kids, Seraphina deliberately chose the most expensive restaurant in town for dinner. Her reasoning was that Valerio wanted fries and burgers, which a fast-food joint certainly wouldn’t satisfy Mr. Reynolds’ palate.

Leandro had no objections to this decision.

By the time they arrived at the restaurant, it was dinner time. Usually, at this time, it’s hard to find a seat in this restaurant without a reservation. But when the manager saw Leandro, he immediately greeted them and swiftly arranged a relatively private table for them.

Seraphina enjoyed this convenience and didn’t say much. Just as she was happily browsing the menu, she suddenly heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice calling them, “Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Reynolds.”

Leandro glanced at the person, his face expressionless. Seraphina looked up and saw Tania.

Tania’s’ voice sounded unfamiliar because it was somewhat different from the usual Tania, as was the person standing before them.

The always arrogant rich girl, now suddenly gentle and docile. Wasn’t that strange?

“Ms. Martin?” Seraphina called out in confusion. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Tania blushed and laughed awkwardly, then said, “I didn’t expect to run into you here. I came to apologize.”

Seraphina raised an eyebrow and waited for her to continue.

“I said some unpleasant things to you because of some misunderstandings. I hope you can forgive me,” Tania said.

Considering her previous words, mostly directed at Seraphina, this apology was mainly for her.

After hearing this, Seraphina smiled slightly, “Ms. Martin, you seem different today.”

Tania still maintained her docile demeanor, “I was immature before. Your deep love for each other wouldn’t be affected by my unreasonable words. But regardless, I still hope to have your forgiveness.”

Seraphina and Leandro exchanged a look, then she said, “Alright, I’m not a petty person. Since you’ve apologized, we won’t hold a grudge.”

Upon hearing this, Tania immediately laughed, “Thank you. I won’t disturb your dinner then.”

With that, she waved at Seraphina and briskly walked in another direction.

Suddenly, Seraphina stood up, “I need to go to the restroom.”

With that, she turned and walked in the direction Tania had left.

After a few steps, around a corner, Seraphina saw by the floor-to-ceiling window of the restaurant, the table where Tania had returned, there was another person, Bowen Smith.

After sitting down, Tania seemed to be filling Bowen in on what had just happened, putting on her best good-girl act and seemingly waiting for his praise.

Bowen just quietly listened to her and then gave a small smile and a squeeze of her hand.

The next moment, Bowen spotted Seraphina.

But he didn’t look surprised nor panicked. Instead, he raised his drink in a toast to Seraphina.

Following his gaze, Tania also saw Seraphina and waved at her with a smile.

Seraphina responded with a grin and then made a beeline for the restroom.

She should’ve known. Who else but Bowen could have brought about such a change in Tania?

Bowen used to treat Tania poorly, but he just had to wave his hand and Tania would come running back, even groveling with an apology

to please him. Seraphina, who was skilled in handling relationships, couldn’t help but be impressed by such tactics.

When she stepped out of the restroom again, Seraphina didn’t even glance their way and just went back to her own table.

“Why do you think Tania came to apologize?” Seraphina asked Leandro.

Leandro was busy scanning the menu. Without even lifting his head, he replied, “Because of Bowen.”
