Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 111

Upon hearing that, Seraphina finally began to move slowly, sidling up to the drinks cabinet and casting

a sideways glance at him.

Leandro didn’t look at her, instead getting himself a shot of tequila.

Seraphina let out a soft chuckle “Im not trying to avoid you I just don’t want you to be bothered by my

presence”

But since they’d already bumped into each other, it didn’t matter anyway.

Seraphina put down the bottle of red wine she was holding, eyeing Leandro’s tequila Seeing him pour

half a shot, she reached out to grab the glass. 1s it good?”

Without a word, she brought the glass to her lips.

Leandro lifted his hand, pinching the base of the glass and effortlessly wrenching it out of her grasp

“What, I can’t even have a sip Seraphina asked, staring at him. “So stingy”

Leandro turned and headed upstairs

Seraphina paused for a moment before following him.

This was their first encounter since returning from Crystal Waters Island, and the atmosphere was

somewhat strange

Seraphina followed him up the stairs, all the way to the door of his study. When Leandro stopped

abruptly, she bumped straight into him.

Only then did Leandro turn to look at her. Seraphina rubbed her nose, looking up at him. “Ouch”

“What do you want? Leandro asked, his expression unreadable

“I want to talk to you, Seraphina replied.

Leandro swung open the door to his study, responding without turning back I don’t have time”

Seraphina peered into the study. The computer screen was flickering, and a pile of documents was

stacked nearby

It was clear that in order to come home for dinner, he had to push all his work back.

Seraphina finally withdrew her gaze, looking at him for a moment before breaking into a smile

Seeing her smile, Leandro slowly closed his eyes.

“Doesn’t tonight feel a bit like déjà vu?” Seraphina asked.

As soon as she spoke, Leandro understood her implication.

Seven years ago,

after Vivian’s incident, she hid in her room out of fear until he came home the next day. Only then did

she muster the courage to stand before him.

She only wanted to proclaim her innocence and confess her love for him. But he didn’t want to hear it.

Her confession of love was met with nothing but mockery

What they once thought was a distant past suddenly reappeared before their eyes.

There was a moment of distraction for Seraphina, but she quickly collected herself. “You didn’t want to

hear what I had to say back then, and you still don’t, do you?”

“I’ve already told you why Leandro replied “And besides, I’m really not interested in what you have to

say

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh again Was he still blaming her for not speaking properly?

“How would you know what I’m going to say if you don’t listen? Seraphina looked at him. “You’re busy

now, right? I’ll wait until you’re free, no matter how late it is.”

After saying this, Seraphina gave him another glance before turning to head to her room.

Leandro watched her retreating figure, then turned and walked into his study. He sat down at his desk,

facing the half–read documents, and didn’t move for a long time.

He couldn’t help but reach out to press his temples, downing the rest of his drink to help him

concentrate

Late into the night, his phone suddenly rang

Leandro snapped back to reality and picked up the call. Keen’s voice came through from the other end.

“Mr. Reynolds, we just got a message from Seashore Haven. Mr. Quincy is critically ill

Leandro’s expression hardened

Danus Quincy, the head of the Quincy family, was his mentor.

When he first took over the Reynolds Group, things were shaky it was Darius who helped him get to

where he is today

Leandro respected Darius immensely. Just a few days ago, when he passed by Seashore Haven, he

had made a special visit. Mr. Quincy’s health wasn’t good then, but Leandro didn’t expect this day to

come so soon

“Mr Quincy’s lawyer said that Mr. Quincy hopes you can hurry over. He fears he won’t rest in peace

otherwise”

Leandro slowly closed his eyes

Half of Danus’s life was dedicated to building the family business, but his children were all incompetent,

often fighting over the family assets. Mr. Quincy trusted him the most and had asked him to look after

the Quincy Group when he died.

“Arrange a plarfe and prepare everything” Leandro said “Ill probably have to stay in Seashore Haven

for a few days.”

Half an hour after hanging up, Leandro was ready to leave home

Knowing the urgency. Keen was quick When Leandro came downstairs, he was already waiting in front

of the house, with the car ready

Leandro handed his luggage to him. After putting it away, Keen noticed that Leandro hadn’t gotten into

the car instead, he was looking at a particular spot of the main building

“Mi Reynolds? Keen called out softly

Leandro snapped back to reality and got into the car

The car slowly pulled away from the Reynolds Vista Retreat, leaving behind the brightly lit window of

Seraphina’s room.

She had said she would wait for him, no matter how late

Early the next morning. Danus passed away

Upon his death, the Quincy family fell into chaos.

Leandro had been at Seashore Haven for three days, completing the tasks Mr. Quincy had left him,

busying himself with Mr Quincy’s funeral arrangements, temporarily smoothing out the squabbles

between the Quincy siblings, and electing a new chairman for the Quincy Group Each task was a real

headache, even for Keen, who was helping out, felt utterly drained, let alone Leandro

On the flight back, Keen couldn’t help but dore off. He was jolted awake as they were about to land,

only to see that Leandro was still sitting there calmly, seemingly having been reading documents the

entire flight

“Mr. Reynolds, you didn’t sleep at all last night. You should take a rest, Keen couldn’t help but suggest

Leandro turned his head, looking at the gradually clearer city skyline outside the window.

He’s never been one to sleep on planes, and this time was no exception.

Even though he was exhausted to the extreme, the closer they got to Sunburst City, the more awake

he became

After landing Leandro went straight back to Urban Oasis.

Karan was cleaning the room. Seeing him, she immediately rushed over with concern, “You’re back?

You must be exhausted. I’ll run a bath for you. Take a good rest after.”

Leandro went upstairs but didn’t see Valerio.

“Where’s Valerio?”

“He’s with Conway,” Karan said. “Conway’s been in a bad mood these past few days and moved back

to the sanatorium. He had Valerio fetched over, probably to cheer him

up”

Leandro suddenly sensed something was off. His hand paused as he was loosening his tie, and he

looked at her, “What happened?”

“Oh, don’t you know that?” Karan began to help Leandro tidy up his clothes, speaking as she did,

“Seraphina finally took off back to Starhaven. She took a morning flight, should be landing any minute

now”
