Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 183

Everyone in the room turned their heads, looking upstairs to the second floor, their gaze landing squarely on Conway Reynolds, standing at the top of the stairs.

Conway, leaning on his cane, stood quietly, his eyes on Seraphina, a look of anguish in his eyes.

Suddenly, Seraphina turned around, rushed upstairs, and grabbed Conway's arm. “Grandpa.”

She opened her mouth to explain something, but Conway merely patted her hand gently.

"Grandpa," Seraphina smiled, "please don't be mad. I was just speaking out of turn."

Conway nodded slowly and said, "I'm not mad. Come, accompany me back to my room."

Seraphina's hand was cold as she assisted Conway back to his bedroom.

Downstairs, Leandro stood quietly, his gaze fixated on Seraphina.

Ferne snapped back to reality, glanced at Leandro, then suddenly turned and dashed for the door, hurrying out of the place.

Walt remained in place, looking at Leandro, awaiting his orders.

Upon hearing Ferne's hasty footsteps, Leandro's face immediately darkened. Without turning his head, he said, "Have Keen book a flight for Ms. Reynolds to the Bahamas. She leaves tomorrow."

Part of the Reynolds Group's business was in the Bahamas, but it had been struggling in recent years. For the vast Reynolds Group, this was a negligible portion, easily abandoned.

Sending Ferne was a clear sign of banishment, and it was done with determination.

Walt knew Leandro was genuinely angry this time. He didn't dare delay and immediately set about executing the order.

Inside Conway's bedroom, Seraphina was filled with worries. She had a nurse hook up some monitoring equipment for Conway, and seeing that all the readings were within normal ranges, she finally relaxed a bit. Sitting by Conway's bed, she whined, "You've already had your rest; why are you up and about again? You're making me worry!"

The two often teased each other. After she spoke, she waited for Conway's rebuttal, but instead, she heard Conway sigh, "I was wrong."

"Grandpa," Seraphina squinted at him, "what are you talking about?"

Conway looked at her and said, "I wanted you and Leandro to be together, hoping you would be happy. But I didn't realize that you were thinking about me."

Seraphina shook her head, opened her mouth to say something, but then stopped.

At this point, she knew she couldn’t hide it anymore, and anything she said would be pointless.

"What's the big deal?" Seraphina finally said, "People have to get married, and Leandro was your choice for me. I know him well. How could I not trust you?"

She started laughing as she spoke, but Conway suddenly raised his hand, gently touching her face, and whispered, "Sera, if you want to cry, just let it out."

Seraphina was laughing, but at Conway's words, tears suddenly welled up.

She didn't cry out loud; she just held Conway's hand, murmuring, "Grandpa, I'm sorry, don't be mad."
