Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 214

She kept stressing that she put him first, but it didn't seem to make Leandro a happy camper.

Leandro just sat there for a while, watching her. Suddenly, he put down what he was doing, scooped Seraphina up in his arms and stood up.

"Hey!" Seraphina squeaked, clinging onto him. "What are you doing? Isn't this what you wanted me to choose?"

Leandro didn't respond. He carried her back to the bedroom and laid her on the bed.

Sure, he had wanted her to choose this, but when she actually did, he didn't feel content. He felt uneasy instead.

This sense of unease, although slight, got his bones and he couldn't shake it off.

The only thing he could do was to keep reaffirming that she was his.

So Leandro kept reaffirming for a long time, until Seraphina was worn out and didn't want to indulge him any longer. She turned her head away and fell into a deep sleep, as if she were dead to the world…

When she woke up, it was already the next morning.

Leandro was already gone by the time Seraphina opened her eyes. But when she went downstairs, she found Valerio Reynolds still at home.

She had been too caught up in her work lately to pay him any attention. Seeing him at home, she was taken aback, "Why are you still home? Don't you have school today?"

Valerio was holding a cup of milk, looking at Seraphina expectantly.

Conway Reynolds, sitting next to him, explained, "His school has an end-of-term event today, so he can go in a bit later."

"Oh, I see," Seraphina remembered. She reached out and pinched Valerio's face, "Time flies, huh? You'll be on Christmas break soon. Are you excited?"

At her words, Valerio suddenly jumped down from his high chair, ran to the couch and picked something up. He put it in front of Seraphina.

"What's this?" she asked, bending down to take a look.

Valerio eagerly opened the document for her.

Upon closer inspection, it was winter study tour information. It detailed the benefits and importance of study tours and recommended several routes.

Seraphina lightly patted Valerio's head, "You little rascal, already thinking about playing before the holidays even start!"

Valerio looked serious and kept his gaze on Seraphina. Then, he pointed emphatically at the word "study tour" on the document, as if to stress that he wasn't going to play, he was going to study.

"Oh, come on," Seraphina gave him a look, "You're too young to learn anything from a trip. Besides, if you want to go abroad, your dad could take you anytime. Do you really need a study tour?"

Valerio looked at Seraphina with disappointment in his eyes. Seraphina took another look at him, then asked, "Do you really want to go?"

At this question, hope flickered in Valerio's eyes again. He reached out to hold onto Seraphina's sleeve.

He made it clear that he wanted to go with her.

Seraphina hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Conway interjected, "Since Christmas and Thanksgiving Day are just around the corner, and the art exhibition here has already had its successful opening, there's nothing important keeping you busy. Why don't you take him out?"

"The itinerary for this plan lasts more than half a month," said Seraphina, "I have other things to do."
