Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 114
In the early morning, he returned from Seashore Haven and quickly went back to his office after freshening up. After grinding all
day, he realized he hasn’t slept for two days straight
Yet under such circumstances, he found himself wide awake half an hour after he dozed off.
He didn’t have any dreams, and nothing was physically wrong. He just woke up, out of the blue
After a moment of silence, Leandro got up, got dressed and went downstairs
Unexpectedly, the living room was still lit, with Karan watching TV on the sofa
Hearing his footsteps, Karan turned to look at him, frowned and asked, “Didn’t you just go to bed? Why are you up again?”
“Can’t sleep, thought I’d have a drink Leandro walked over to the liquor cabinet, got himself a drink, and then asked her, “Why
are you still up?”
Karan exhaled “Tm getting old, don’t need as much sleep. I can’t sleep either, so I’m watching TV
Leandro settled down on the couch with his drink, taking sips while watching the lively family drama on TV
Karan looked at him and asked, “Does the drink help?”
“A bit,” Leandro replied.
After a while, Karan said again, “You’re putting too much pressure on yourself. You don’t have to handle everything personally.
Don’t your employees do anything?”
Leandro didn’t answer, just swirled his drink
“Didn’t the company run just fine when you were away at Seashore Haven for a few days? You don’t have to take everything on
yourself. The Reynolds Group of today isn’t the Reynolds Group before. Although I don’t know the specifics of the company, its
foundations are solid. It’s not going to crumble easily. Why are you working yourself to the bone?” Karan paused, then said, “You
need to move on from the past”
Leandro finished his drink and put down the glass

“Take some time to relax, live a normal life. Spend more time with Valerio, or... try dating” Karan suggested.
She hesitated a bit at the end.
Leandro looked at her, “What’s up with you?”
“I know if you were to date, you’d choose someone I wouldn’t like,” Karan said, “But if you really like her, who can stop you?”
After a moment, Leandro softly said, “That’s not happening”
‘Don’t bullshit me! Karan looked at him, “I watched you grow up. You’ve become more reserved these years, so I might not
understand you as well as before, but I can still tell some things In all these years, which woman has had the freedom to come
and go from your house like she does?”
Leandro didnt speak, just listened quietly.
Karan turned back to the TV, slowly saying, “Actually, I sometimes think it’s nice when she’s here. At least since she returned...
you’ve been more like a normal person.”
After she finished, they both fell silent.
Leandro sat on the sofa, finishing an episode of the drama with her, before he got up and returned to his bedroom.
He lay back down on his bed The room was as quiet as usual.
But there was no one to sneak out from under his covers anymore, no warm presence or sweet scent to accompany him to
sleep.
Before Seraphina visited the Adams family Nadine not only prepared a gift for her but also arranged for her own driver to take
her there.
At the Adams family home, Seraphina only met Melisa Adams. When Melisa saw her, she frowned, “You are...”
‘Melisa, it’s me, Seraphina My mom is Magdalen, Seraphina greeted with a smile
Melisa seemed taken aback, then realization dawned, and she laughed, “Ah, you’re Seraphina! You don’t look quite like the
pictures I’ve seen-”

“What pictures?” Seraphina asked.
“Never mind. Come sit down,” Melisa ushered her in while ordering the servants, “Go call Cooper Adams!
Seraphina knew why Melisa was so friendly, but she just smiled.
Once they were inside, Seraphina said. “I know my mom’s situation has been difficult to you, so I came to express my gratitude”
“Don’t mention it,” Melisa said, We’re from the same hometown. We should help each other It’s no big deal to me.”
“It might be a small thing for you, but it’s a huge favor to my mom,” Seraphina said, “So I really appreciate it.”
Melisa looked at hef smiling satisfactorily, “You’re a well mannered child.”
At that moment, there was a sound from the entrance Seraphina turned to see Cooper in his wheelchair
It had been years, but Cooper looked the same. His features were calm and he was thin. Even in a wheelchair, one could tell he
used to be tall.
Seeing Seraphina, he was taken aback, “Sera?”
“Cooper, it’s been so long”
Cooper was her senior in college back in Starhaven. They often met at gatherings for people from their hometown. Not long after
graduation, Cooper was in a car accident and couldn’t walk anymore. He started living a reclusive life and they lost contact
“Why are you here?” Cooper looked surprised. He glanced at Melisa
Melisa laughed, “Don’t you two know each other? Since you’re friends, what’s the harm in inviting her over? Cooper, have a chat
with Seraphina. Till go make some afternoon
tea
Meksa got up to leave, leaving Seraphina and Cooper alone
But when she left, their conversation halted until Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “why are you not saying anything? Not happy
to see me?”

Not that Cooper looked up at Seraphina, “We haven’t seen each other for three years. You’ve changed.”
Seraphina smiled, “That’s because you never come out. If you saw me more, you wouldn’t think I’ve changed”
Cooper Just gave a quiet chuckle, then asked, “What brings you here?”
“Something about my mom. You know about it, don’t you?‘ Seraphina asked
Upon hearing this, Cooper just casually nodded, “Yeah”
Suddenly, Seraphina leaned in closer. “Do you know what happened when she was rescued? What exactly did those people do
to her?”
Cooper quickly caught on to her question, replying. As far as I know, she just got roughed up for a bit, nothing more than that.
You don’t have to worry”
Upon hearing this, Seraphina nodded, feeling slightly more at ease.
“Why are you asking my family about such a thing?” Cooper said, “Shouldn’t you be asking your mom?”
Seraphina broke into a laugh, saying. There are things you just can’t blurt out to the person involved. Like... I had no idea you
had a thing for me.”
