Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 145

It wasn't until Seraphina left that the penny dropped for Keen. He immediately became restless, regretting his hasty decision to hand the key to Seraphina.

Yasmina was really put off by his behavior, and impatiently asked him, "What did Mr. Reynolds say to you when you went in?"

"He didn't say anything." Keen sighed in response.

"Well then, there's no issue, right?" Yasmina said, "If Mr. Reynolds really didn't want to see Ms. Bennett, he would've kicked her out a long time ago, knowing his personality. Why can't you just be a bit smarter?"

Keen mulled over her words for a moment, finding some truth in them.

As he was deep in thought, Yasmina's phone on the desk suddenly rang. She quickly answered, "Mr. Reynolds."

"Have HR send out two warning letters," Leandro's cold voice came through the phone, "one for you and one for Keen."

Yasmina was speechless.

Keen clenched his fists, wishing he could strangle her!

Leandro's new apartment was situated in the most bustling part of the city, boasting a view of the city's hustle and bustle and tranquility. It was a two-story building with high ceilings and a large area. The massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooked the iconic building of Sunburst City. It was luxurious no matter how you looked at it.

Seraphina didn't have time to take it all in, she quickly took a shower, changed her clothes, and was out the door again.

By the time she arrived at the nursing home, it was almost eleven o'clock. Conway's secretary Lacy was overjoyed to see her, "Ms. Bennett, you're finally back! Conway has been thinking about you!"

"How's Grandpa been lately?" Seraphina asked as they walked.

Lacy's expression instantly turned serious, "Not so good. He's been having trouble sleeping at night and napping sporadically during the day. He's not in good spirits."

Seraphina felt a pang of sadness at this news.

As she walked into Conway's room, sure enough, he was asleep.

Seraphina suddenly felt a wave of guilt.

When she was with Conway, he was in good spirits. But now, after she left, Conway had visibly aged and his complexion was poor.

Feeling guilty, Seraphina stopped in her tracks, turned to leave and not disturb him.

However, Conway seemed to hear her footsteps and suddenly woke up.

Hearing the noise, Seraphina quickly turned around, walked to the bedside and smiled at Conway, "Grandpa, I'm back!"

Just waking up, Conway took a few labored breaths before recognizing her, then gently scolded, "You little rascal, you finally decided to come back!"

Seraphina sat down on the bed, leaning on Conway's quilt, "How could I not come back to a Sunburst City that has you in it!"

Conway just gently scolded her.

Seraphina stayed with Conway all day, not leaving until five in the afternoon to fulfill her promise to Valerio - to pick him up from school.

When Conway heard that Seraphina was leaving, he was initially upset. But when he heard she was going to pick up Valerio, he happily let her go.

After picking up Valerio, Seraphina headed straight back to Leandro's new apartment.

"Have you been here before?" Seraphina asked Valerio as they entered the apartment.

Valerio nodded.

"Why don't you live here?"

Valerio wrote down his answer in his notebook, "Karan doesn't like it here."

Seraphina thought about it and found it understandable. Older people are accustomed to their living environment and don't like to change easily.

"Do you like it here?" Seraphina asked again.
