Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 409

The dinner that night was seemingly peaceful, a picture of harmony, until the facade crumbled.

Bowen gazed at Seraphina, his eyes an eerie abyss.

“Sera.” He called her name softly, stating, “In all this, you’ve lost nothing. You’ve found your son again, from now on you can live happily. But you insist on getting involved, don’t you?”

“Nice try, Bowen.” Seraphina scoffed, retorting, “Who dragged me into this? And besides, do you really think our debts end with Valerio?”

Bowen paused, then nodded slowly, “You’re right.. If you insist on being part of this, then our debts are far bigger.”

Seraphina just chuckled coldly.

Sandra – the debt she owed Bowen, and the debt he owed her.

It was time to settle the score. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“I can’t wait to see your next move, Bowen, Seraphina said, “We’ll see who comes out on top.”

With that, Seraphina turned and walked back into the private room, leaving Bowen alone by the window, finishing his cigarette.

Because of Leandro and Seraphina’s late arrival, the party ended later than usual. The guests were about to leave when an unexpected visitor burst into the room.

Tania frowned as she walked in, her face changing instantly when she saw the room full of escort women vying for the attention of the few men there.

“Bowen!” she cried out in exasperation, her voice filled with irritation.

From the back of the room, Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh at Tania’s outburst. In the silence of the room, her laughter was conspicuous. Tania turned to the source of the laughter and spotted Seraphina and Leandro, not knowing how to react

If this party was inappropriate, what was Seraphina doing there?

She turned back to Bowen, but he was just sitting there, not even looking at her. Hanley, however, laughed and said, “Oh, Ms. Martin has come to pick up her fiancé. We better not disturb them, let’s leave.”

Everyone Jéft except for Seraphina and Leandro, who were the last to leave.

As they walked past Tania, Seraphina paused, wanting to say something. But seeing the way Tania was looking at Bowen, she sighed and swallowed her words. Instead, she just smiled at Bowen and said, “Goodnight, Bowen. Sweet dreams.”

Bowen just glanced at her and gave a nonchalant smile, “I’ll take your good wishes!

Leandro said nothing, just helped Seraphina out of the room.

Once they were out of the room, Seraphina couldn’t help but look back.

Leandro noticed her action but didn’t turn back, just asking, “Why did you hold back?

Seraphina laughed helplessly, “Because I know Tania wouldn’t listen, no matter what I said. Women in love, they’re often blinded… but it’s rare to see someone as stubborn as her. Maybe it’s not her fault,

maybe Bowen is just too good at manipulation. He could be a lecturer on mind control.”

Leandro didn’t comment, just listened.

Seeing his attitude, Seraphina raised an eyebrow and said, “Of course, a man like Mr. Reynolds doesn’t care about women. After all, there are too many women rushing to Mr. Reynolds.” If I hadn’t come tonight, the room would have been much more lively, wouldn’t it?”

Leandro knew she was far from jealous over such a thing, so he ignored her.

Seraphina continued, “Ah, I forgot, Mr. Reynolds is a man who doesn’t trust easily, especially strangers. So why not cultivate a few young, naive girls, and when they’re ripe, you can enjoy them. It’s safer to groom them yourself, right?”

As they reached the elevator, the waiter pressed the button for them. He couldn’t help but glance at the two of them after hearing Seraphina’s words.

Leandro noticed the waiter’s curious glance but remained indifferent.

Seraphina went on, “Should I help you pick? I have a good eye for beauty, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

The elevator doors opened in front of them, and Leandro stepped in. He turned back to Seraphina, extending a hand, and said, “No need, I’m already grooming one. That’s enough.”

Seraphina was momentarily stunned, then pulled into the elevator by Leandro and into his arms.

The elevator doors slowly closed as Seraphina glared at him, “Who are you grooming!”

“Not grooming…” Leandro raised his hand, tracing her jawline gently, “But training, from when you were young and naive, right?”

“You’ve got some nerve,” Seraphina huffed, “Shameless! If you hadn’t changed your characters, you’d probably be just like Bowen!”

Leandro pinched her waist gently, hinting that she shouldn’t compare him with Bowen.

Seraphina, remembering the past due to his words, was still not satisfied. She tiptoed up and bit his lip hard.

Meanwhile, in the private dining room left with only two people, Bowen sat quietly, smoking, not looking at Tania.

Tania watched him, realizing he was probably upset. A wave of worry and hurt washed over her, and she murmured, “You said you’d come to see me today…I’ve been waiting all day…”

“And so?” Bowen retorted, “You think something held me up?”

“I know you were busy.” Tania quickly approached, leaning against Bowen as she nestled into his chest, “But I was just worried about you… You didn’t keep in touch, and it scared me…”

Bowen allowed her movements, remaining still.

After a moment of silence, Tania assumed he had cooled down. She looked up at him, “What exactly did you do today? Nothing bad happened, right?”

Bowen looked at her, his gaze dark and brooding, and he said nothing for a long time.

Tania began to worry again and couldn’t help but take his hand, holding it tightly in her own.

Bowen glanced down at their entwined hands, and after a while, he suddenly said, “Tania.”

He hadn’t called her like that in a long time. Tania couldn’t contain her joy, and quickly responded, waiting for him to speak.

“Let’s get married.” Bowen said.

Upon hearing this, Tania was taken aback. As she processed his words, she couldn’t help but tear up. She didn’t stop to think, she just nodded eagerly, leaning in to kiss his lips. Bowen raised a hand to support her back, his eyes never wavering.
