Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 194

After resting at home for three days, Leandro just returned to the office today. Given his work habits, he usually worked late into the night. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Seraphina was caught totally off guard. She didn’t expect he’d come home so early, or that Conway and Valerio were not at home, let alone that the lock. of her room would be changed by him

But after giving it a moment, it didn’t seem all that surprising

Leandro was leaning on the other end of the corridor, quietly looking at her Seraphina quickly gave up trying to unlock her own door and turned her gaze.

to him.

“Where’s grandpa?” Seraphina asked.

“He’s at the hospital for a check–up.”

“And Valerio?”

“He’s at an after–school activity”

Glancing at the clock, it was almost seven. It was surprising that Conway would have a check–up at the hospital this late, and that Valerio, a kid who hasn’t even started school, would have an after–school activity that ran so late.

“So..” Seraphina touched her door, “where’s my key?”

A key appeared in Leandro’s hand, spinning skillfully between his fingers, as if to lure her over.

Seraphina walked over to him and reached out to take the key.

Leandro didn’t give her a hard time and let her take it easily.

Holding the little key in her hand, Seraphina smiled and said, “This doesn’t seem like your style.”

“Using such childish tactics to avoid me doesn’t seem like your style either,” Leandro retorted.

Seraphina tilted her head slightly to look at him, “Have you finally accepted that I’m not the old Seraphina?”

Leandro’s eyes suddenly deepened. He took a step forward while Seraphina stepped back, until she hit the wall.

Reaching out, Leandro gently cradled her face.

“From the first day you came back, I knew you weren’t the old Seraphina, Leandro said, “Do you still think I’m expecting the old you?”

Seraphina looked at him and laughed, “So you’re not?”

Leandro suddenly leaned down to kiss her, as his answer.

Seraphina didnt resist, quietly accepting his kiss.

As the atmosphere heated up, Seraphina suddenly spoke.

This time, Leandro noticed immediately, pulling away from her lips almost as soon as she opened her mouth.

His reaction was surprisingly quick The sudden separation leaving them both a bit dazed.

However, Seraphina quickly recovered, laughing again.

“You see,” Seraphina said, “even though you trust me a lot, I can’t give you a sense of security”

‘Security should be something I give you” Leandro said slowly

Seraphina paused for a moment, then lowered her head and smiled faintly, “I don’t need that”

“Really?” Leandro reached out to wrap his arm around her waist, pulling her closer, “Do you want it?”

Seraphina lifted her head again, looking at the man in front of her

He actually asked if she wanted it, instead of forcing it on her?

In the past, she always thought he was so persistent because he missed the old her. His unwillingness to accept her changes often angered her.

But now, he had changed?

This change began when he appeared in Starhaven, and now, he seemed to have fully accepted the current her.

And because of the seven years he had lost, he was now deeply immersed in his emotions

A sigh involuntarily escaped from Seraphina’s heart.

Based on this progression, she knew clearly how things would unfold. Although there might be some uncertainties, they didn’t seem important at the

moment.

Perhaps one day Leandro might also lose himself because of her. The Seraphina from seven years ago, if she knew this, would probably be moved to

tears, wouldn’t she?

-Caught off guard for a moment, Leandro had already pulled her into his arms again.

“Will you let me say no?” Seraphina countered.

“I will let you say no, Leandro replied

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh.

No matter what she said, he would still do what he needed to do.

All of this was within her expectations.

So why bother struggling?

Seraphina reached out and began to unbutton his shirt, and then she said only one thing-

I want to be on top.”

Leandro looked deep into her eyes, silently meeting her gaze for a moment, then he scooped her up and walked into his bedroom, shutting the door behind them.

After they were done. Leandro held Seraphina in his arms, his large hand gently stroking her back, bending down slightly to lose himself in another passionate kiss

This time, Seraphina seized the opportunity and bit him.

Leandro was still on guard. Although he moved quickly to avoid her, he was still bitten.

Seraphina laughed, sitting up from his embrace, grabbing his robe from the bedside and wrapping it around herself, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Leandro grabbed her hand. “Shower here”

Seraphina pulled her hand back, tying the belt of the robe as she replied, “Shower here, and then what? Sleep here?”

She turned to look at the shirtless man sitting on the bed, and gave a slight smile, “If I sleep here, where will you sleep? Can you sleep well in the study?”

A flicker crossed Leandro’s brow

She actually knew.

“Of course I know, Seraphina seemed to hear his thoughts, “Every time we share a bed, you’re always awake. You say you trust me, but in reality, you don’t even have the courage to share a bed with me. Are you afraid I’ll smother you with a pillow in the middle of the night?”

Leandro watched her quietly, not replying.

In truth, his inability to fall asleep in the same bed had nothing to do with her. It was a result of the alertness he’d developed over the past seven years, which made it hard for him to sleep soundly with someone else nearby, whether it was her or anyone else.

She obviously understood this, and was only saying these things to provoke him.

But he was in a good mood today, and wouldn’t let her get a rise out of him.

Seraphina wasn’t about to let it go. When Leandro didn’t respond, she took the initiative and said, “You’re right to be on guard against me because maybe one night, I’ll really make my move. You best

be on guard”

With that, she suddenly stood up and bolted out the door before Leandro could reach out and grab her.

Just as she reached the stairwell, she bumped into Conway, who was escorting Valerio upstairs.

An old man, a child, and Seraphina, clad in Leandro’s bathrobe, meeting at the stairwell, seemed to freeze the air for a few seconds.

Seraphina quickly regained her composure and glared at them coldly, “Neither of you two look like good people, coming home this late. You don’t act like good people at all!”

Having said that, she turned around and headed for her room. It was only when she reached her door that she remembered the lock had been changed. and she didn’t have the key to open it.

Seraphina stood at her door for a moment, then silently turned around and gracefully walked past the old man and the child once again, heading back to Leandro’s room with determination.

Valerio looked utterly lost, while Conway, who had regained his senses, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
