Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 120

Leandro walked straight into the venue while listening to Keen's explanation about Cooper's identity.

Then Seraphina gently wheeled Cooper out of the elevator. Watching Leandro's back, Cooper finally couldn't help but ask, "Sera, who's that guy?"

"Leandro Reynolds," Seraphina replied, "the head honcho of the Reynolds family in Sunburst City."

"And how do you two know each other?"

Seraphina gave a small smile, "That's a long story."

Hearing this, Cooper wanted to ask more, but the crowd around them was getting more, so he had to hold his tongue.

Since Cooper hadn't shown his face in a long while, almost no one recognized him outside the venue. Only after a staff member confirmed his identity did they usher them into the venue.

Inside, the venue was brightly lit and already packed with guests.

Seraphina noticed that from the moment they entered the venue, Cooper had become a bit tense.

He hadn't attended such an event in many years, and especially not in this condition. His emotions were inevitably fluctuating.

Seraphina bent slightly towards him and said with a smile, "I came here hoping to meet some big shots. You've got to introduce me around, okay?"

Cooper gave a small laugh and said, "Sure."

Today was a big day for the Adams Group. Many of the guests were old friends of the Adams family. Even though Cooper hadn't seen them in a long time, he still remembered them.

Seraphina pushed him around the venue for a bit, attracting quite a few looks. Without Cooper initiating, many people came up to greet him.

At first, Cooper was a bit uncomfortable, but he'd grown up in this environment, so he quickly adapted. Seeing him so at ease, Seraphina felt reassured.

From a distance, Melisa saw this and excitedly walked over to her husband Nathan Adams. Ignoring that Nathan was talking to a guest, she tugged at his sleeve, exclaiming, "Nathan, look, that's Seraphina. Look how happy Cooper seems with her around!"

Nathan glanced in the direction she pointed, then quickly averted his eyes. He muttered, "Melisa, I'm talking to a guest. It’s rude to disturb us like this."

Melisa just then realized her rudeness. She looked at the person in front of Nathan and laughed awkwardly.

"This is Mr. Leandro of the Reynolds Group in Sunburst City," Nathan introduced, "This is my wife, Melisa. I apologize for her rudeness just now."

Leandro nodded slightly, saying calmly, "Melisa is quite straightforward."

Melisa burst into laughter, telling her husband, "See, Mr. Reynolds doesn't mind at all. The more I see of Seraphina, the more I like her. Let's observe a while longer, and if we think it's right, let's allow her and Cooper to make their relationship official, okay? Cooper's been sweet on her for years. My boy has good taste."

Nathan was somewhat helpless in the face of his wife's enthusiasm, but hearing her words, he couldn't help but take another look at Cooper and Seraphina.

Though Cooper was in a wheelchair, just by appearances, they seemed well-matched.

Keen, who was standing behind Leandro, heard Melisa's words and couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead, then looked at Leandro's back. He thought to himself that the Adams family probably didn't know about Leandro and Seraphina's relationship. Judging by their current behavior, they clearly wanted to snatch Seraphina away!

As he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Leandro ask, "Melisa, have you set your sights on Seraphina?"

The Adams couple were both somewhat surprised at this.

"Mr. Reynolds, do you know Ms. Bennett?" Nathan asked.

Leandro glanced at Seraphina in the crowd, then said calmly, "It's quite a coincidence that someone from the Reynolds family has caught your fancy."
