Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 428



Chapter 428
Leonard suddenly furrowed his brows, “Leandro, we’re all trying to do what’s best here. How can you speak to your elders like
that?”
“If you’re here to express your opinions, well, I’ve heard them,” Leandro responded, “You may leave now.” With that, he stood up,
preparing to ascend the staircase.
“Leandro!” Leonard also rose, saying, “In the past, you called the shots at home and in the company. Everyone listened to you.
But with the current economic climate and family troubles, if you continue to act so independently, you risk ruining the entire
Reynolds family.”
Leandro slowly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Leonard, “And who, in your opinion, should be in control to prevent the
Reynolds family from falling apart?”
“I don’t want to take your place!” Leonard retorted, “I just think you can’t make all decisions on your own!”
Nanette, seeing an argument brewing between the uncle and nephew, quickly moved to sit next to Conway. “Dad, you need to
talk to Leandro...”
As soon as she said it, all eyes fell on Conway.
Conway and Leandro exchanged looks before Conway slowly spoke, “Eight years ago, I personally handed over the Reynolds
Group and this family to Leandro. So far, his stewardship has been commendable. I have nothing negative to say.”
“Dad!” Nanette’s face slightly changed, “So you think he should handle his mother in the same way?”
Conway heavily tapped his cane on the floor, replying in a deep voice, I’ve said it before. Since I handed this family over to
Leandro, he makes the decisions. If anyone is dissatisfied with that, then they can choose to no longer be part of the Reynolds
family!”
With that, Conway also rose, leaning on his cane as he made his way upstairs.

Leandro reached out to assist Conway, slowly climbing the stairs with him.

The living room was left with Leonard and his sisters, each lost in their own thoughts, exchanging glances.
Once they reached the second floor, Conway spoke in a low voice, “Did you see what they’re thinking?”
At this, Leandro chuckled lightly, replying, “Once the company stabilized, the true intentions of some began to reveal
themselves... I saw, this coming a long time ago.”
Although the Reynolds Group had grown significantly since he took over, it was still a large family with many people, especially
elders It was impossible for them to accept him, a younger member, holding all the power.
The fact that this situation had only arisen now was actually later than he had anticipated.
Unfortunately for them, their attempts to usurp him were far from successful given the current state of the company.
“You don’t need to get upset over this,” Leandro reassured, “I’ll handle it.”
Conway simply grunted in response, then added, “Right now, this isn’t the most important issue. The main concern is your
mother, Sera and Valerio-”
“I know,” Leandro responded, before falling silent.
After escorting Conway to his room, Leandro made his way to Valerio’s room.
Upon opening the door, he found Valerio sitting cross-legged on the bed, a pile of toys in front of him that had previously excited
him. However, his face now betrayed no hint of excitement.
Seraphina was trying to engage him with the toys, but he remained uninterested.
“What’s wrong?” Leandro asked as he walked in and sat at the edge of the bed, picking up a children’s book, “Didn’t you like
these toys just a while ago?”
Seraphina chuckled softly, “He heard some noise from downstairs and thought it was an argument. It scared him a little.”
Leandro looked at her, understanding that Valerio hadn’t yet recovered from the previous day’s fright.
“There was no argument,” Leandro assured Valerio, “Just my uncles wanted to talk to me about some things. It got a bit loud
because it was like in school when everyone wants to answer the teacher’s question.”

Valerio seemed to accept this explanation, nodding a little.
Leandro handed the children’s book to him again, and this time, Valerio reached out to take it.
Seraphina leaned against the door, watching this scene with thoughtful eyes.
It wasn’t until the evening that Valerio’s mood began to stabilize. After having a glass of milk and brushing his teeth, he climbed
into bed with Seraphina’s help.
Leandro had to leave. After saying goodnight to Valerio, he gave Seraphina a look, dimmed the lights for them, and exited the
room.
Chapter 428
Seraphina held Valerio close, humming softly, listening to the sound of Leandro’s departure.
Leandro was gone for almost five hours, not returning to Reynolds Manor until around three in the morning.
At this hour, everyone in the Manor should have been asleep. However, as Leandro ascended the staircase to the second floor,
he found Seraphina sitting in the small living room.
An old movie was playing on the TV. Seraphina, wrapped in a thin blanket, was curled up on the sofa, engrossed in the nearly
silent film.
Leandro quietly approached, and Seraphina didn’t turn around. When he took a seat behind her, she naturally leaned back into
his arms. Neither of them spoke. In the silence of the night, the two of them sat in the unlit room, watching the old movie
together.
Seraphina, who had been watching from the beginning, was engrossed
Leandro, on the other hand, had no interest in these kinds of movies and hadn’t seen the beginning. Despite trying to get into it,
he remained clueless about the plot.
As the movie credits rolled, Seraphina let out a long sigh, delivering a brief verdict, “A terrible movie.”
Leandro was silent for a moment before he replied, “You knew it was bad but you watched it so attentively.”

“I have to focus on taking care of Valerio in the future,” Seraphina said. “If I don’t seize the time now, I’m afraid I won’t even have
time to watch terrible movies later.”
Leandro didn’t respond to that, and Seraphina, after finishing the movie, made no move to leave the room. She seemed to have
no intention of going back to her room.
Leandro knew very well what she was waiting for.
“You’re thinking of taking Valerio away, aren’t you?” Leandro asked.
Seraphina stared at the TV screen in front of her, but her attention was focused on the man behind her.
Taking Valerio away, far from Gloria, far from the drama of the Reynolds family, was indeed a part of her plan.
She had also thought about under what circumstances she would bring this up to Leandro.
She assumed that Leandro would be very angry, that he would disagree, and that they might even have a big fight over it. But
none of those things happened.
On this peaceful, quiet night, she nestled in his arms, and they talked about this thing.
After a moment of silence, Seraphina answered, “In my view, nothing is more important than Valerio growing up safe and happy.”
