Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 384

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the van zipped away.

Despite the property management and security guards trying to chase and stop it, their efforts were futile.

Una exhaled softly, turning to look at Seraphina, ready to ask for compliments about her performance, but found

Seraphina walking straight towards Abbot.

Though Seraphina’s face was calm and composed, she bent over to look at Abbot in the car, asking him, “You

okay?”

Abbot replied, “I’m fine.” Noticing Seraphina’s facial expression, he didn’t say more.

He had been by Seraphina’s side for a long time, traveling to many places.

At this moment, Seraphina’s expression was calm, without a ripple, even her eyes lost their usual luster. Such a

situation could only mean that she was troubled.

Meanwhile, the van turned the corner and was about to disappear. The driver képt his eyes on the rearview mirror.

Seeing no abnormalities, he turned his eyes back and focused on driving out of the residential area.

Una quickly sent the property management and security guards away.

Seraphina watched as they left and glanced at the exit of the housing estate.

The van was gone.

After Abbot parked the car, he walked over to Seraphina and asked in a low voice, “Ma’am, is something off?”

Seraphina clearly heard his question, but there was no change in her expression and she didn’t answer him.

Una then came over and asked curiously, “So, how did it go? Are we continuing tonight?”

“No need.” Seraphina replied, “You’ve been bothered for two days, that’s enough.”

Upon hearing this, Una immediately asked out of curiosity, “So where are you going to investigate next? Need my

help?” Seraphina smiled at her and replied, “I’m going home.”

At half past eleven in the evening, the Reynolds family’s driver pulled up at the villa door to pick up Seraphina.

Seraphina and Abbot got in the car and the driver slowly drove towards Reynolds Manor.

The road was wide and clear at night. The traffic wasn’t heavy, but it wasn’t light either. The cars flowed smoothly

like clouds and water on the streets.

How many of the bright lights were shining on their car?

Seraphina calmly looked out the window, remaining silent, until they returned to Reynolds Manor.

After getting out of the car, Seraphina went straight into the house..

The driver also noticed Seraphina’s odd behavior. After she entered the house, he couldn’t help but quietly ask

Abbot, “What’s wrong with the missus?”

Abbot shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.

At this time, Conway and Valerio were already asleep, and Seraphina had asked Leandro for a week of free time, so

Leandro might not be back today.

Seraphina went straight upstairs to her bedroom, didn’t turn on the lights. After closing the door, she walked in the

dark to the bed, took off her shoes and got into

bed.

She didn’t change her clothes, but just sat on the bed wrapped in a blanket, quietly thinking about what just

happened.

Things happened so fast that she didn’t even have time to react before it was over.

Now, she finally had time to rethink the whole situation again.

She had an excellent memory and was very good at reviewing what she had seen.

So, starting from when the van drove into the residential area, the scenes played out in her mind like a movie,

frame by frame.

Until that moment.

In front of her, the moment the car window curtain was pulled open.

The scene in Seraphina’s mind stopped.

In that scene, she saw a face, a face of someone who had already passed away, a face that shouldn’t appear in this

world again.

It was a complete, clear face.

Unlike the blurry photo, this time the face was unobstructed, which could be seen clearly.

She could say the name directly, but that name was like stuck in her chest, circling around, unable to escape.

Late at night, a light flashed outside the window.

Not long after, Seraphina heard the familiar footsteps in the hallway.

The steady and calm footsteps gradually approached, finally stopping at her room door.

The door was opened from the outside. Seraphina was sitting on the bed with her knees up, not looking, not

moving.

The orange light from the corridor shone into the room, revealing her solitary figure hidden in the dark.

Leandro walked into the room and closed the door.

He didn’t turn on the light either, just sat down on the bed, reached out and held one of Seraphina’s hands in his.

When she touched his warm and strong palm, Seraphina came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and then

asked, “Why are you back?”

T

Leandro didn’t answer. After a while, he also sat on the bed, next to Seraphina.

After a moment of silence, Seraphina suddenly leaned on Leandro’s shoulder.

In the hazy moonlight outside the window, Leandro turned his head, able to see the shadow of her facial contours.

She rarely showed such emotions, it seemed like a big problem had come up.

How could he not come back at a time like this?

“Leandro,” after a while, Seraphina asked quietly, “do you believe… in resurrection?”

“If you believe, so do I,” Leandro said.

Upon hearing this, Seraphina turned to look at him.

She had been sitting for a long time, her eyes had adapted to the darkness, so even though the room was dimly lit,

she could still see his face clearly.

In the darkness, his eyes were firm and calm, even deeper than before.

Seraphina suddenly thought back to when she first returned to Sunburst City.

She was completely different from her past self back then, completely beyond his expectations.

This change obviously made him very angry and annoyed, but he still gave her full trust – he didn’t even know what

she had gone through in the past seven years, what kind of woman she had become, yet he unreservedly let her

raise Valerio.

In fact, he had completely trusted her from that moment’ on.

To this day, his trust in her had almost become an instinct.

This kind of instinct was something you just couldn’t dodge.

After a moment of silence, Seraphina suddenly reached out and hugged Leandro tightly.

Resting her head on his shoulder, she chuckled softly and said, “I’m really envious of you, being able to trust

someone like that.”

Leandro didn’t respond. It was only after a while that he asked, “What about you?”

They had discussed the topic of “trust” before. That time, he asked her the same question, but she didn’t answer.

“Do you trust me?” Leandro, being the stubborn guy he is, eventually brought up the question again.

Seraphina nuzzled his neck gently, then fell silent for quite a while.

She had been through so much, people in her life coming and going, to the point where she could barely trust

herself.

But this man, he was consistent.

Even with time stretching out in front of them and the future filled with uncertainties, at least for now…

“I do.” She whispered.
