Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 147

Bowen came home just to change his clothes. He quickly gave Seraphina a brief hello before heading upstairs. Sandra watched his retreating back with a stern expression.

"What happened?" Seraphina picked up on her mood. "Did you guys have a fight?"

Sandra scoffed. "He hasn't been home for ages, how could I fight with him?"

"You sound like you're feeling hard done by?" Seraphina asked.

Sandra shot her a look. "Let's not talk about him. Go do your cooking thing."

After a while, Bowen came down, all dressed. He stopped by the kitchen to greet Seraphina: "Seraphina, I've got things to do today. I won't be able to hang out with you guys. Have fun with Sandra. We'll properly host you some other time."

Seraphina offered him a smile, "Alright, go do your thing."

Bowen ruffled Sandra's hair. "Take care of your friend. Gotta run."

Sandra swatted his hand away and moved to stand next to Seraphina.

Bowen shrugged at Seraphina, gave a quick wave and left.

As Seraphina was learning how to wash vegetables from the Smith family's maid, she glanced at the gloomy Sandra, "All because he's not home?"

Sandra listened to the sound of the car driving away outside and murmured, "Actually I have a brother, but he didn’t care about me at all."

Back when they were in high school, the Smiths parents passed away, leaving only Sandra and Bowen. Sandra was actually quite lonely, which is probably why she and Seraphina were so close.

Seraphina thought about Bowen's actions earlier and chuckled, "Even if he's not around, he still cares about you. You two seem to get along well."

Sandra heard this and her mood plunged.

Sandra had a brother who didn’t care about her, and Seraphina had a mother who didn’t love her at all, but as Seraphina said, at least she and Bowen got along well. As for Seraphina's mother...

Sandra didn't dare to broach the topic. She just stood there watching Seraphina learn how to cook.

You really couldn't learn much in one afternoon and Seraphina wasn't really concentrating on the cooking lesson. After the lesson, she took the food prepared by the Smith family's maid and left.

After leaving the Smiths, she picked up Valerio and headed straight to the Reynolds Group.

Keen had been driven to distraction by Seraphina and was on high alert. But since she brought Valerio, he couldn't leave the boy downstairs, so he quickly went down to bring them up.

While reporting to Leandro, he only mentioned Valerio's arrival, not Seraphina. Leandro didn't comment.

So, Seraphina, strutting as if she owned the place, walked into Leandro's office with Valerio.

Leandro was working. When they entered, he just glanced up at them.

Seraphina greeted him with a smile, then took Valerio to the guest area, unpacking the food she brought and arranging it on the table.

Leandro was engrossed in the documents in his hand when suddenly, someone was tugging at his arm, "It's time to eat!"

Leandro pulled his hand back and returned to his documents.

Seraphina leaned over his desk to watch him, "When was the last time you had a meal with Valerio? He's here today and I've prepared the food. Are you sure you don't want to have lunch with him?"
