Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 289

In a tender moment, Leandro couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

All night, he had been a jumble of emotions. Feeling empty yet anxious, he realized he had been waiting for this moment.

Just when he thought the night was a lost cause, there she was, appearing on his bed like a guardian angel.

From provocation and soothing to now surprise, when did this woman gain total control over his emotions? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

In his arms, she still looked so innocent as if he had intruded into her world uninvited.

“Leandro,” she said lazily, looking at him with gentle curiosity. “What are you doing? It’s late, shouldn’t we be sleeping?”

Should they?

Leandro reached out and gently pinched her chin. “Should we?”

Seraphina held his gaze for a moment before breaking into laughter, pushing him away, “Then I’ll take a shower first.”

As she tried to get up, Leandro pulled her back into his arms before she could even reach the edge of the bed.

Ever since Sandra’s incident, Seraphina seemed calm on the outside, but her emotions were far from settled.

Even though they tried their best to return to normal life, there was always this heavy stone weighing on their hearts, making it unbearable.

Not until last night, when a key figure in the crime group finally showed up, did they feel a bit relieved and had a chance to breathe.

They had waited for this moment for a long time.

So, their midnight intimacy was particularly intense and unrestrained.

It wasn’t until dawn was about to break that Seraphina fell asleep in Leandro’s arms. Despite knowing that he didn’t have much time to rest, Leandro too fell asleep to the rhythm of her steady, long breaths.

The joy of release after prolonged suppression left them overwhelmingly tired.

Even someone as disciplined as Leandro couldn’t escape this exhaustion..

Or perhaps, he had already let himself go.

In the morning, Conway and Valerio were surprised to find Leandro absent from the breakfast table.

Usually, Leandro was the first to leave the house, but it was past his usual time and he was still upstairs.

Soon, his driver was seen looking around at the front door. Seeing this, Conway called him in.

“What happened?” Conway asked.

“Mr. Keen called me to say he couldn’t reach Mr. Reynolds’s phone. He asked me to remind Mr. Reynolds that there’s an important meeting this morning,” the driver glanced at his watch, “There’s not much time left.”

Conway turned to Valerio, “Valerio, go wake your dad.”

Valerio nodded and dashed upstairs.

In this house, Leandro was not accustomed to locking his bedroom door, so Valerio pushed it open easily.

The room was visible in its entirety. Inside, Leandro was holding Seraphina, and she was half-lying in his arms, sound asleep.

Valerio stood at the door for a moment before walking quietly towards them.

He stood by the bed, gazing at Seraphina’s face for a long time.

When Leandro suddenly opened his eyes without warning, Valerio immediately straightened up, locking eyes with Leandro.

Leandro woke up instantly, his first reaction was to pull the blanket over Seraphina.

She was actually quite warm and didn’t appreciate this. She was furious and glared at Leandro, “What are you doing?”

Leandro just glanced at the spot next to the bed, and Seraphina turned to see Valerio’s innocent eyes and quickly retreated further into the blanket.

Even though she wasn’t shy, she still needed to keep a good image in front of Valerio.

“What are you doing here?” Seraphina asked in exasperation from inside the blanket.

Valerio pointed at his watch and then looked at Leandro.

Leandro had overslept and knew what he meant. He quickly got out of bed, then turned to Seraphina, “You can sleep a little longer.”

“No.” Seraphina sat up, wrapped in the blanket, and glared at Leandro. “How can I sleep in your bed? Besides, I’ve got things to do today.”

After saying this, she pinched Valerio’s cheek, “Alright, we’re getting up now, you go to school.”

Valerio nodded, and as he reached the door, he turned back and looked thoughtfully at Seraphina and Leandro before leaving.

That day, everyone was busy.

Herman sorted through all the cases Naylor had handled over the years, identifying several key ones, including: Mervin’s armed assault case fifteen years ago, the arson at Sunburst University’s physics laboratory thirteen years ago, the car accident that killed Keeley’s parents ten years ago, and some other cases that were labeled as accidents.

When Seraphina had found the connection between Mervin, Maddox, and Keeley, he had wondered what common point could possibly link these three seemingly unrelated people. But he had never imagined that the person who connected them would be Naylor.

Because of these documents, Herman spent the whole day in the archives, and Seraphina, after receivin the entire day outside.

the relevant documents, spent

She met with people related to the car accident that killed Keeley’s parents, including Keeley’s long- departed relatives, friends and colleagues of Keeley’s parents when they were alive, and eyewitnesses to the accident.

After running around all day, Seraphina met with more than twenty people. Although she didn’t get any results, it was enough for Seraphina.

She hadn’t worked this hard in a long time, and by the time she got home that night, her feet were swollen.

Once she got home, Seraphina didn’t feel like eating. She kicked off her shoes and sat on the massage chair.

Valerio was in the middle of a meal, but he immediately dropped his utensils and rushed over to help Seraphina turn on the massage.

chair, hoping to butter her up.

Seraphina, sitting on the couch and watching him, couldn’t help but chuckle. “Valerio, did you learn to take care of your family from school?”

Valerio didn’t quite understand why he had to learn these things from school, so he kept silent. Later, he heard that she wanted to rest, he immediately took her upstairs to his bedroom, pointed to his bed, and asked her to lay down and rest.

Seraphina was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly remembered what had happened in the morning.

So, the kid wanted to sleep with her, huh?

Seraphina couldn’t help but burst into laughter, happily accepting Valerio’s invitation.
