Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 375

When Patrick heard Seraphina’s question, he paused for a moment, but didn’t dodge it.

He just flashed a small smile and said, “I’m guessing the person you’ve been busting your hump to find is about this

age, right?”

Seraphina gently shook her head, “This answer doesn’t make much sense.”

Patrick couldn’t help but chuckle, then said, “Seraphina, trust me on this. You’ve helped me crack cases before and

everything I’m doing is to help you.”

Hearing this, Seraphina silently looked at him.

In a way, Patrick saying this was like admitting something.

“Did you send me that photo?” Seraphina asked.

Patrick probably didn’t expect her to be so blunt, he could only nod helplessly.

Seraphina’s eyes stiffened a bit.

“Why didn’t you just come to me directly, but instead make me come to Moonhaven in this roundabout way?”

Patrick pondered for a moment, then said, “I didn’t want you to misunderstand me, thinking I had ulterior motives.”

This involved Bowen, and Bowen had ties to the Martin family. To Patrick, the Martin family was something special.

Patrick’s words could be understood.

“If you wanted to avoid any misunderstandings, then you shouldn’t have shown up in front of me.” Seraphina said.

Patrick slowly nodded, showing a helpless smile, “I know, but I just want to help you. I know it’s the right thing to

do.”

Seraphina pondered for a while and said, “You’ve indeed helped me a lot. Can you tell me now the whole story

behind this photo?”

“The photo was taken unintentionally by one of my guys. Bowen is not a nobody in my book, so they snapped it.”

Patrick explained, “I only realized the girl in the photo might be important to you when I saw the news about your

charity auction.”

Hearing this, Seraphina’s body stiffened involuntarily.

Since receiving that photo, she had never admitted that the person in it was Sandra.

The reason she was so eager to investigate was just to see who the woman in the photo was, and why she looked

so much like Sandra.

She dared not to think about the possibility that Sandra’s still alive, because she didn’t want to give herself false

hope.

But now, with Patrick directly stating that the person in the photo might be important to her, Seraphina felt a pang.

This sting even made her a bit angry.

“I want to know who the person in the photo is, but that doesn’t mean she’s important to me,” Seraphina said.

Patrick seemed to understand her feelings, hearing her emotional words, he just nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll help

you investigate who the woman in the photo is.”

Seraphina didn’t refuse.

The identity of the woman in the photo had become her main concern now. If she could utilize Patrick’s connections

to quickly find out this woman’s information, it wouldn’t hurt.

The answer to this question appeared in Patrick’s hands the next day.

Seraphina saw the woman’s passport information on Patrick’s computer.

The woman’s name was Leilani Sawyer, from Riverside Haven, born in ’90. Aside from her face, which was almost

identical to Sandra’s, her personal information didn’t overlap with Sandra’s at all.

However, she appeared next to Bowen, and over a month ago, left Starhaven with him.

Seraphina stared at the passport information for quite a while.

Seeing her silence, Patrick finally asked, “Any thoughts?”

Seraphina scoffed, “What can I think? I won’t make any judgments until I see this woman with my own eyes.”

“I thought your style was to hypothesize boldly and verify cautiously,” Patrick looked at her and said slowly.

Seraphina bit her lip tightly and didn’t answer.

Actually, Patrick wasn’t entirely right, her usual approach was to hypothesize boldly and then verify in an

exaggerated way.

But this situation didn’t even give her the courage to hypothesize.

She didn’t want to assume that she never lost Sandra; she also didn’t want to assume that after the car accident,

pain and death, Sandra was living in this world in such a completely lost way.

Because once such assumptions formed in her mind, she might lose herself,

By then, she would lose her reason and would go crazy looking for Sandra.

What problems that might cause, she couldn’t predict.

“So, are you planning to go back to Sunburst City to find her?” Patrick asked again.

Seraphina nodded, “Yes. Since she’s already left Starhaven, I’ll go find her. If I can’t find her in Sunburst City, I’ll go

to Riverside Haven, turn every stone, I’ll find this Leilani.”

Patrick fell silent for a moment, then asked, “When are you planning to go back?”

“The sooner the better,” Seraphina answered, but the next moment, she suddenly stopped.

What about Gloria’s problem if she just left like this?

Seeing her momentary confusion, Patrick asked softly, “Anything wrong?”

“Nothing.” Seraphina took a deep breath, “I have to go back eventually, the rest will take care of itself.”

Patrick didn’t ask what her “other problems” were, just smiled and said, “Well, perfect timing, we can go back

together.”

Seraphina looked at him.

Patrick said, “I was planning to go back to Sunburst City in a few days anyway. Now that you’re going back too, it all

works out.”

Seraphina accepted his help, smiling as she said, “Sure.”

The news that Seraphina was coming back reached Leandro at seven in the morning.

The call was from Abbot, probably made at this time so as not to disturb Leandro’s rest. He informed Leandro that

Seraphina had arrived at the airport, and Patrick

was with her.

It happened to be the weekend, so Leandro had the day off. He got up early and had a chat with Gloria, then

headed back to Reynolds Manor.

He had originally planned to spend the day with Valerio, but didn’t expect Seraphina to return on the same day.

Everything seemed to fall into place perfectly.

When Leandro got back to Reynolds Manor, he was surprised to see Bruce.

It had been a while since Gloria’s suicide, and Bruce had never visited her. Leandro didn’t expect to bump into him

here.

Bruce was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a world encyclopedia with Valerio.

When he saw Leandro, he just gave a faint smile and said, “You’re back.”

Leandro didn’t respond, just wondering what the heck was going on today.

Soon, he recalled a similar date from his memory – the day Magdalen joined the Reynolds family.

So that’s why Bruce suddenly showed up.

Leandro slightly lowered his head, a hint of sarcastic smile playing on his lips.
