Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 196

It wasn't until Seraphina and Leandro had left that Magdalen turned to Conway and calmly asked, "What's up?"

Conway had been happily watching the pair leave, but at this question, his smile faded. He turned to Magdalen.

After a moment of silence, he asked the nanny to take the grumpy Valerio away, then turned to Magdalen and said, "I’m not blaming you, but these past few years, Seraphina has been by your side. You didn't even know she had a daughter, let alone that her daughter passed away. Do you still remember you are her mother?"

"She's old enough to have kids. I can't control her," Magdalen replied calmly, "Everyone's their own person. There's no set rule on how parents and kids should interact."

Upon hearing this, Conway suddenly clutched his chest.

Seeing this, Magdalen rushed to support him, "What's wrong? Just a few words and you're all worked up?"

"You know what ticks me off, don't push my buttons," Conway said, "Seraphina has gone through so much, endured so much pain. If you don't care, well, I do!"

Magdalen nodded along, replying, "I'm trying to change. You're bringing up past stuff to blame me... besides, she has your adored grandchild now. I don’t matter to her as much anymore."

After hearing this, Conway couldn't help but sigh, "I just hope Seraphina is truly happy."

Magdalen didn't say anything further.

...

Leandro took Seraphina by the hand and they left. Once in the car, they headed downtown.

"Hey, don't think you can just pop into any jewelry store, buy a ring and call it a proposal," Seraphina turned to Leandro, "There's no effort in that, I won't accept it!"

Leandro turned to her, "Then what would you consider genuine?"

Seraphina thought for a moment, then stretched out two fingers, a sparkle in her eyes, "Two properties in the Ivory Orchid Estate, how's that?"

The Ivory Orchid Estate was practically the highest-end residential area in Sunburst City. Even though it couldn't compare to the Reynolds Vista Retreat designed by Leandro himself, a recent transaction of nearly ten million dollars had been enough to astonish people.

Leandro gave her a cold look.

His confident expression suggested that this wasn't an issue, so Seraphina excitedly asked, "So, are we going to see the properties now?"

Leandro didn't respond.

The car didn't head to the Ivory Orchid Estate, but instead to the most artistic part of downtown, the Aesthetic Avenue.

This was the oldest part of Sunburst City. An entire old-style building was preserved here, making it the most artistic street in Sunburst City. The Sunburst Museum, Sunburst Concert Hall, several auction houses, and many art galleries were all located here.

The car pulled up in front of an old-fashioned grey building. Seraphina leaned out to look around, then turned to Leandro, "Are these places expensive?"

Leandro glanced at her, "they are for rent only."

Seraphina was somewhat dissatisfied, "Then why are we here?"

Leandro got out of the car, then went around to open her door and extended his hand.

It was rare for him to show such gentlemanly manners. Seraphina stared at his hand for a few seconds, but ultimately gave him a smile and took his hand.
