Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 332

Sure, when she first got back to Sunburst City, she really loathed Leandro. But ever since the whole Betty incident came to light, her hatred just didn’t seem to have a place anymore.

She saw firsthand that Leandro could also feel pain, regret, and guilt for inadvertently hurting her, and hurting her deeply.

Then, he seemed to want to make it up to her with the whole world.

He helped her recover her father’s lost paintings, and set up Carney Artful Reverie;

He took her back to the streets in Velvetwood where she used to live, to heal her old wounds;

He let her use him to investigate cases, even though he would obviously get mad, he chose to bottle it up;

He took her to the restaurant they agreed on eight years ago and watched the movie they didn’t get to see back then;

He fully supported her investigation into the truth about Sandra, saying that if money could solve all her pain, he would use all his wealth;

He went from not being able to share a bed with anyone to not being able to sleep without her,

He quit smoking for her, after having smoked for over ten years, without her even knowing;

He was a hot-tempered strict boss, but because of her, he became so gentle that it surprised all the executives in the company;

He always wanted to be by her side, but would leave if she wanted some alone time;

He arranged her old home for her, let Valerio stay by her side, and told her to go back when she was rested.

She thought she was indifferent, like a calm lake, but it turns out she could still be moved by him, time and time again.

After all, this was Leandro, the Leandro she dreamt of when she was young.

How could she have ever thought, past or present, that Leandro would become this?

“He’s given me so much,” Seraphina said, “Pretty much whatever I want, he gives me. Even things I didn’t think of, he gives. I’m not cold-hearted. How could I not be moved?”

“If a man is willing to do this for a woman, basically, you could say he’s worth entrusting yourself to, right?” Andrea said.

Seraphina couldn’t help laughing, “So I married him.”

“So, have you thought about forever?” Andrea asked.

Seraphina was silent for a moment, then said, “Every couple says ‘forever’ when they get married, but how many really make it to the end? So, let’s not think too far ahead, just go with the flow.”

Andrea listened, quietly watching her for a while, then finally said, “Since you put it that way, we’ll just have to take it slow.”

Their conversation ended there. Andrea wanted to know more about Seraphina, but didn’t dare say too much.

After all, Seraphina was recovering now, and Leandro wanted her to relax, which is why she was staying in Summitville.

Any topic that would make Seraphina feel stressed or unhappy, Andrea didn’t plan to bring it up at this time.

Andrea stayed in Summitville for two days. When she met Seraphina, they spent most of their time reminiscing about their childhood or discussing food and drink, not mentioning anything else.

Andrea originally planned to stay with Seraphina longer, but upon hearing that Leandro was coming to visit, she left immediately.

She knew Leandro was a tough man to deal with. If she stayed, she might become an unnecessary obstacle between them, which could cause her a lot of trouble.

Seraphina tried to keep her, but she was determined to leave.

Seraphina found it funny. She originally planned to discuss this with Leandro when he arrived, but in the end only Keen showed up.

Although Keen came empty-handed, he brought many gifts for Seraphina’s neighbors, everyday items for Seraphina and Valerio, and even brought some hot soup.

As she sipped her soup, Seraphina casually asked, “Didn’t Leandro say he was coming?”

“Yes,” Keen replied, “But he had something come up last minute, so he couldn’t make it. He asked me to bring some things over.”

Recalling how Leandro had hurriedly left last time, Seraphina asked, “Is the Reynolds Group really busy these days?”

“Yes,” Keen replied, “We’ve been busy for the past two months, and recently it’s been even more hectic.”

“What are you guys busy with?” Seraphina asked.

Keen paused for a moment, then said, “Nothing much, just some routine work.”

Seraphina felt he was acting a bit weird, “Is there something that I shouldn’t know about? Tell me, what happened?”

*No, no, Keen hurriedly said, “There’s really nothing special…”

As he was saying this, he was about to leave, but Seraphina stopped him.

“Twant to know now, Seraphina said, “No matter how boring or ordinary, you have to tell me about Leandro’s recent schedule.”

Keen hesitated for a moment, then finally said, “Mr. Reynolds doesn’t want these things to bother you.”

If you don’t tell me, I’ll worry even more, won’t be able to eat or sleep,” Seraphina glared at him, “Can you take responsibility for my anxiety?”

Keen looked at her helplessly, and finally said, “Recently many company projects and development directions have been sabotaged, so the whole company is busy. Mr. Reynolds didn’t have time to come over.

Seraphina was taken aback, “Who dared to mess with the Reynolds Group?”

The Martin Group, Keen answered.

Seraphina asked in surprise, “The Martin Group?”

“On the surface, it’s the Martin Group.” Keen said, “However, according to the information we have received, behind these incidents, the Smith Group is mainly operating, and the Martin Group is only

used by the Smith Group. Bowen Smith is the fiance of the Martin Group, so it’s not surprising.” Seraphina was taken aback, “Bowen?”

“Yep.” Keen continued, “It’s kind of weird. The Smith Group never really had any beef with the Reynolds Group, but ever since they hooked up with the Martin Group, they’ve been butting heads with the Reynolds Group nonstop. Maybe he’s trying to flex his muscles in front of the Martin Group?”

Suddenly, Seraphina felt that perhaps she had rested too easily, and her brain was not processing the information quickly enough.

Bowen used the Martin Group to attack the Reynolds Group. What did he really want? If he’s just trying to show his ability, he’s got much better options. Why pick on the Reynolds Group?

Regardless of the strength of the Reynolds Group, even out of respect for Sandra, he should try to avoid conflicts with the Reynolds Group, but instead, he kept targeting the Reynolds Group. Was it his decision, or was someone behind it? If it’s him, what’s his real agenda?

Seeing Seraphina lost in thought, Keen hurriedly added, “Mrs. Reynolds, you don’t need to sweat it. Judging by their current moves, they’re not really a threat to the Reynolds Group. Mr. Reynolds still has everything under control,”

On hearing this, Seraphina immediately turned to him, “After you head back, if Bowen makes any move, you have to let me know.”

“Mrs. Reynolds…”

“Don’t worry.” Seraphina cut him off, “I’m not planning to meddle. I just want to figure out Bowen’s real game plan.”Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
