Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 106

Hearing this, John just gave a slight smile, his gaze shifting towards a table a few meters away. He casually glanced over and then retracted his gaze.

Being quite the observant one, Seraphina followed his gaze and quickly identified who he was looking at.

It's not that she could pick out who John was looking at from dozens of people, but she had seen one of them in John's profile before - Olive Reed, John's ex-wife.

They were college classmates, but they divorced after only a year of marriage. The real reason for the divorce was unknown, and they publicly claimed it was due to incompatible personalities.

Seraphina didn't expect to run into her here, but thinking about it, it didn't seem that strange.

Only John kept glancing at Olive, while Olive was chatting with the person next to her, never once glancing this way.

Seeing this, Seraphina found it quite amusing, and for a while, she even forgot about Leandro and focused her attention on John.

As they chatted about trivial matters, they laughed and appeared very close.

Soon, the wedding officially started, and everyone's attention was on the bride and groom.

"I haven't been to a wedding in quite some time," Seraphina murmured to John. "When did you last attend one?"

Upon hearing this, John offered a slight smile, "On the day of my own wedding."

Hearing his response, Seraphina regarded him with surprise, "I hope I didn't touch upon a sensitive topic."

John glanced at her, flashing a reassuring smile, "Nothing of the sort."

Having said that, his gaze meandered back in the previous direction.

Observing this, Seraphina couldn't help but chuckle. She lifted her glass for a sip, then turned her head only to find that Leandro and Georgina had vacated their table.

Seraphina withdrew her gaze and ceased her survey of the room.

The wedding proceeded as scheduled, with all the segments lasting about an hour. As the banquet commenced, the hall instantly buzzed with life. The guests were engaged in conversation, fostering a lively atmosphere.

As Seraphina was chatting with two ladies she just met, talking about entertainment, John came over and said to her, "I need to step out for a while."

"Okay," Seraphina replied, "I'll be here chatting, you go do your thing."

John gave a slight smile, then stood up and left.

It was only then that Seraphina glanced in Olive's direction and realized she was no longer there.

There's too much going on tonight. Seraphina thought, who should I keep tabs on?

……

Olive walked into the elevator alone, pressed the floor button, watched the elevator doors close in front of her, then watched them reopen.

John was standing outside the elevator, his gaze landing on her face.

Olive slightly furrowed her brows, then said, "What a coincidence."

"Indeed," John replied, stepping into the elevator. He glanced at the floor Olive had pressed and didn't press any other buttons.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Olive glanced at him, "You're staying on this floor too?"

"No," John answered.

After a few seconds of silence, Olive spoke again, "I saw your date. She's very pretty, really stole the show."

"Your date doesn't seem to be all that," John retorted.

Luckily, the elevator stopped. As soon as the doors opened, Olive quickly walked out, with John leisurely trailing behind her.
