Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 213

"Are you looking for a job?" Leandro asked.

"Yeah, I am." Seraphina responded candidly.

"Why?"

"Well, you work either for your passion or for the money. The best-case scenario would be a job that satisfies both." Seraphina explained, "And right now, that ideal job is right in front of me."

"I thought you'd see running an art gallery as the ideal situation."

"Running an art gallery is indeed comfortable." Seraphina shrugged nonchalantly, "But if I'm stuck in there all the time, it's not so comfortable anymore."

"You could start painting again."

Seraphina couldn't help but laugh, "I gave up painting a long time ago. All I can do now is write."

Leandro fell silent, and the mood in the car quickly turned dull.

Seraphina didn't mind and continued to search for news on her phone.

The car was heading towards Reynolds Manor. By the time they got home, she had received responses to most of her messages.

After sorting through the information, Seraphina quickly got a handle on Patrick's basic information—

Patrick, from Sunburst City, 36 years old.

Patrick's family used to be a prominent one in Sunburst City, but after marrying into the Martin family, their status took a nosedive until all their assets were taken over by the Martins.

Patrick left his hometown alone when he was young, struggled for many years, and eventually became a media mogul. His return to Sunburst City made him the center of attention in the business world.

As she was sorting through the information, Leandro's phone suddenly rang.

Leandro glanced at his phone and saw a message from Edgar Lamont—

"Why is your wife asking about Patrick? This guy's been abroad for over a decade, he's ruthless and often crosses the line. Keep your wife away from him."

Leandro only took a glance and put his phone back in his pocket.

He knew very well what kind of person Patrick was.

Since Patrick announced his return to Sunburst City, Leandro had been keeping track of his every significant move in recent years and was familiar with his way of doing things. But, no matter how successful Patrick was, Leandro had enough power to look down on him, so he had no intention of getting too involved with Patrick.

What he hadn't anticipated, though, was that Patrick would actively seek out Seraphina.

This forced Leandro to pay even closer attention to Patrick.

Seraphina, clearly intrigued by Patrick, kept checking her phone even during dinner.

After dinner, Leandro went upstairs. Seraphina was watching TV with Conway Reynolds while still typing on her phone.

Finally, Conway couldn't take it anymore and asked, "Are you addicted to your phone?"

"No, grandpa." Seraphina replied, "I just met someone today, heard some things about him, and got curious, that's all."

"Is this person a man?" Conway asked.

Seraphina looked at him, "How did you know?"

Conway scoffed and said, "Your husband's face was so livid. Even a blind man could see that."

Seraphina couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and patted Conway, "Don't worry, I'll go pacify him in his room tonight."

Hearing this, Conway felt even more exasperated—this perfectly matched couple, newlyweds, why on earth were they sleeping in separate rooms?

But Seraphina had her reasons.
