Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 458

Considering Leandro’s injuries, Seraphina didn’t dodge or pull away; she simply lay there, letting him kiss her.

But even so, as his lips met hers, Leandro sharply inhaled, pain from his wounds evident.

Seraphina abruptly turned her head and shot him a look, slowly uttering two words, “Serves you.”

“Yeah, serves me right,” Leandro surprisingly admitted, tilting his head to lock eyes with her. “I can’t help but fall for you.”

Those words sounded awfully familiar to Seraphina – they were the exact ones she had repeatedly told Gloria about how much Leandro adored her.

Leandro knew this, which meant Karan must have spilled the beans.

In her fury that day, Seraphina had blurted out more than she intended, and now to think of it made her cringe. Yet here was Leandro, throwing those words back at her!

On the outside, Seraphina’s face was unreadable, but her ears betrayed her, burning up without a sound.

She glared at Leandro, only to see him with a tranquil expression, a trace of feigned innocence that screamed triumph.

Seraphina had meant to storm off in a huff, but she remained pinned under Leandro, motionless. After a moment’s pause, she changed her mind.

The next second, she shifted slightly toward him, careful not to press on his injuries, and leaned down to kiss his lips. This kiss was the epitome of gentleness, of sweetness.

When she took the initiative, she was deliberately seductive, but this time, she was unusually tender and demure, like an innocent girl exploring something new and curious. It was devoid of desire, but irresistibly alluring.

Leandro’s gaze darkened uncontrollably. Oblivious, Seraphina continued her soft, slow kisses.

“That’s enough-” Leandro suddenly turned his face away.

“What’s wrong?” Seraphina looked at him in mild surprise. “Didn’t you say you’re crazy about me? I thought I should reciprocate, right?” she reasoned. With that, she leaned in for another kiss.

Leandro couldn’t move to avoid it and her lips met his once more.

Seraphina thought to herself that shamelessness was indeed a superpower when wielded properly. She was even more determined to push the envelope, especially since she wasn’t the one immobilized.

In the midst of their endless moment, there came a knock on the hospital room door. Leandro heard it, but Seraphina did not.

The next moment, a nurse entered, pushing a cart. “Mr. Reynolds, you have one more medication to take today-”

The couple on the bed froze.

The nurse was stunned, while a blush crept across Seraphina’s cheeks.

Leandro coughed, “Um… Another medication, you say?”

His question seemed to snap both Seraphina and the nurse back to reality. Seraphina quickly sat up beside him, while the nurse handed over Leandro’s medication.

“Once you’ve taken this, Mr. Reynolds, you can rest,” the nurse said, her cheeks tinged with pink.

Regaining her composure, Seraphina took the medication from the nurse and glanced at it before speaking up, “Do you have that kind of medication?”

The nurse blinked, “Which kind?”

“The kind that can silence a person.”

The nurse hesitated, then quickly caught on and said, “Mrs. Reynolds, rest assured, I didn’t see anything, and I won’t say a word…”

As she spoke, she made her way to the door, but couldn’t help turning back to add, “Just remember, Mr. Reynolds just had surgery, and he shouldn’t engage in any strenuous activity. Please be mindful, Mrs. Reynolds… I’ll leave you two alone now.”

As she left, closing the door behind,her, Seraphina was left speechless.

“Did she get the wrong idea?” Seraphina turned to Leandro. “I didn’t say I wanted to silence her.”

Leandro simply responded, then slowly said, “So, who do

Seraphina chuckled mischievously, “Take a guess.”

you want to silence?”

While speaking, she got off the bed to pour water for Leandro to take his medication.

As she brought the pill and water to his lips, Seraphina spoke again, “Darling, time for your medicine.”

Leandro glanced at her and swallowed the medication and water she offered.

“You really trust me enough to take anything I give you.”

“Mhm,” was his confirming reply. “If it’s from you, I’d even swallow poison.”

Seraphina’s grip on the cup weakened slightly.

It seemed her penchant for banter had backfired. She was used to Leandro’s cutting remarks, so when he was this agreeable, she was caught off guard and unsure how to respond.

Leandro glanced at the cup in her hand. “More water, please.”

Seraphina hummed in mock annoyance but still brought the cup back to his lips.

After he took a few sips with her help and placed the cup on the bedside, he asked, “Shall we continue?”

“Continue what?” Seraphina didn’t catch on immediately.

Leandro glanced at the spot on the bed where she had been lying before.

Remembering the earlier awkwardness, Seraphina flared up, “You scoundrel! Shameless!”

“Fine, I’m shameless,” Leandro calmly admitted. “Shall we continue?”

“What do you mean ‘fine”?” Seraphina retorted. “It was clearly you who seduced me first. What’s this ‘fine’?”

Yet Leandro simply agreed, “Alright, it was clearly me. Shall we continue?” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seraphina bit her lip, glowering at him for a long time before once again bending over to press her lips to his.

This time, Leandro’s hand came up to cradle the back of her head.

A deep, tender kiss ensued, lingering and soft.
