Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 192

A lot of past events, Seraphina had purposely stashed away in the back of her mind.

And those forgotten memories, without exception, were all linked to this man.

Just like this tin box right in front of her.

In the tin box were dozens of drawings, each one of them she had drawn herself.

Some were on blank paper, some on notebooks, and others on textbooks.

When she saw these drawings again, she suddenly remembered her once passionate love for this man.

Every time she saw him, she would completely lose herself, and when she didn't see him, she would draw him as she remembered him in her heart.

So these drawings, some were made at home, some at school, some late at night, and some during class.

When her longing reached its peak, she would pick up her pencil, each drawing was of him.

What flowed from the tip of her pencil, the uncontrollable and undeniable emotions, was all her past love for him.

So, when she was forced to leave the Reynolds family and prepare to go to Starhaven, while packing her luggage, what she had the most of were not clothes or shoes, not books or toys, but these drawings.

However, with just a quick rummage, she found so many, and there must be even more that she didn't find.

But, what could she do with these drawings?

In her most desperate moments, she would cry on her bed, then she found this tin box and put all these drawings in it.

Even though her heart still held hope, her sense told her that she should give up these drawings, just like the person who didn't belong to her.

She carried the tin box to the garden and buried it under a Jacaranda tree.

After she finished burying it, she sat under the tree for a long time and unknowingly fell asleep. When she woke up, she was covered with flower petals.

Beautiful dreams always wake up easily, and beautiful flowers always wither easily.

Her dreams about him, were ultimately going to wake up.

After she buried this box, she never thought of digging it up again, so when she came back to this house, she had forgotten that she had once buried something in the garden.

This box should still be under the Jacaranda tree, but now it was in Leandro's study.

He had once abandoned her, but her past was in his study.

Did he care about that past?

Leandro stood still for a while, finally turned his head to look at her, and slowly said, "The past doesn't matter to me."

Seraphina looked into his eyes for a while, then slowly began to smile, "I thought you would say that you cared, that you drove me away to protect me, that you actually liked me a lot, missed me a lot. Why didn't you lie to me?"

Leandro just quietly looked at her, "What's the point?"

"You are right." Seraphina softly responded, then turned her gaze back to the box, "then, what's the point of the stuff in the box?"

Although the box had rusted and peeled, the things inside were preserved very well, not at all like they had been buried underground for a long time. In other words, they must have been dug up soon after she had buried them, or right after she had buried them.

She wasn't sure how he found out, but she knew that he had kept this box for a long time.

How could he be so heartless?

Thinking of this, Seraphina suddenly smiled, "Maybe we should just throw it away for good."

After saying that, she tried to go around Leandro to get the box. Leandro reached out to stop her, and Seraphina ran into his arm, then she was pulled into his arms and held tightly.

The pose was a bit awkward, but Leandro didn't seem to have any intention of letting her go.
