Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 385

When Leandro heard her response, he seemed to pause for a moment.

Then, as if he finally got it, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Do you really trust me?” Leandro asked quietly.

Seraphina looked up into his eyes and gave him a soft smile, “Why wouldn’t I?”

Leandro didn’t move, nor did he respond.

He watched her silently for quite a while, then leaned down and kissed her.

The moment, the situation, it all felt a bit surreal to Leandro.

He needed the reality of touch and warmth to prove what was happening was real.

But just as he was leaning in for the kiss, Seraphina’s phone suddenly rang.

Seraphina immediately pushed him off and reached for her phone, after a glance, she picked up the call.

In the darkness, both of their faces were slightly lit up by the phone screen. Leandro could see that Seraphina’s expression didn’t look too good.

Seraphina didn’t notice, listening to the call with full attention, then turned on the bedside lamp and got up from the bed.

The sudden brightness made Leandro squint. He watched as Seraphina walked towards the bathroom.

“Who was it?” Leandro asked.

Without turning around, Seraphina replied, “Terrell. I asked him for a favor.”

Today, the van suddenly appeared, Seraphina didn’t have time to prepare, she just followed it. But she was worried about attracting unnecessary attention, so she had Abbot tail the van.

Seeing the face in the van was an unexpected bonus, but regardless of this surprise, Terrell’s people were already prepared and discreetly followed the van as soon as it left the neighborhood.

The message Seraphina just received was the last known location of the van-

The van had circled around the city, then took several detours, finally stopping at an inconspicuous apartment building.

According to the information that Seraphina had, Bowen didn’t own any property in that building, so it was likely rented or purchased temporarily.

His cautious behavior only served to highlight the problem.

Seraphina went into the bathroom, splashed cold water on her face, then looked at herself in the mirror for a while, the conclusion that she’d been too afraid to make was slowly forming in her mind.

After drying her face, Seraphina walked out of the bathroom.

Leandro was still by the bed, watching her calmly.

Seraphina took a deep breath, then told him her conclusion, “Sandra isn’t dead.”

Leandro didn’t seem too surprised.

Although he hadn’t directly asked her what she was investigating, her associates were his people, so he knew some things.

Sandra was important to her, so when things related to Sandra came up, she would get anxious, but kept reminding herself to be careful. It took her a long time to come to this conclusion.

Unlike her, Leandro could look at the issue of Sandra rationally.

So, when the uncertain information reached him, he was actually sure of many things.

“We saw her dying at the hospital, being cremated and buried. From beginning to end, we never saw her… body.” Seraphina gritted her teeth and slowly said, “Bowen deceived me.”

“Hmm. Seeing that she could finally calmly discuss this fact, Leandro responded lowly.

Seraphina chuckled coldly, then said, “That damn bastard, I won’t let him go!” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

As she finished speaking, she went to the closet, picked out a darker set of clothes, and changed right in front of Leandro.

“I have to find Sandra and save her.” As Seraphina changed, she said, “No matter where Bowen is hiding her, I will find her-”

She finished changing and tidying up, grabbed her bag, and was about to leave when she turned to Leandro and said, “I’m going out!”

Leandro watched her silently and nodded.

Seraphina walked out and closed the door behind her.

Leandro stayed where he was, not moving.

After Seraphina closed the door and was about to go downstairs, she suddenly realized something.

Was the atmosphere just now a bit off?

So, she paused at the top of the stairs, standing still.

Inside the bedroom, Leandro was about to get up from the bed when the door was pushed open again.

Seraphina had returned.

Unlike before when she completely ignored him, this time her gaze was on him.

Leandro stopped what he was doing and just waited for her to speak.

“Uh…” Seraphina hesitated for a moment before saying, “You were planning to stay at Reynolds Vista Retreat tonight, right?”

Leandro nodded.

“You knew I was coming home, so you came back from there, right?” Seraphina asked again.

Leandro nodded again.

Seraphina paused, then slowly walked to the bed and sat down. “I didn’t expect you to come back just for me. I wasn’t planning on staying home tonight…”

Leandro slowly said, “I know now.”

He’d originally promised to give her a week, but it had only been two days.

He’d thought too highly of himself, overestimated his importance.

In front of him, Seraphina was always sharp and eloquent, but now, she was unsure how to comfort this disappointed and wronged man.

Just as she was hesitating, Leandro suddenly held her chin, leaned forward, gave her a quick kiss, then whispered, “Go.”

Seraphina froze, wondering if she’d heard him wrong.

Though Leandro was always at her beck and call, he had never been this agreeable before.

“You serious?” Seraphina asked tentatively.

Leandro muttered softly, “Or it could be a lie.”

Seraphina abruptly stood up, as if fearing that she would be caught in his bed in the next second.

Leandro watched her movement, his eyes slightly narrowing.

Seeing his expression, Seraphina finally confirmed that Leandro was indeed planning to let her go.

All along, he had never truly stopped her from doing what she wanted to do.

Seraphina felt a bit ernotional. When she spoke again, she said, “If you really can’t sleep, I could get a couple of hot chicks to keep you company. Those actresses

from Una’s new drama, their noses are very straight, their filled cheeks are quite stiff, and their faces are really bizarre – super thrilling=”

Before she could finish, Leandro strode off the bed, pressing her directly against the wardrobe door and deeply kissed her.

Seraphina gripped his shirt, offering no resistance.

That passionate kiss was intoxicating.

Just when he was about to lose control, Leandro finally let her go, whispering, “If you don’t leave now, you won’t be able to.”

Seraphina pushed him away fiercely, turning around and running faster than a rabbit,

This time, she didn’t stop or look back.

Listening to her gradually fading footsteps on the stairs, a faint smile crept onto Leandro’s face.
