Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 234

Seraphina washed her hands, looked at herself in the mirror and chuckled, "You didn't use to say that."

Sandra replied, "I only knew him through your words, and he was pretty awful to you back then... But now, I've seen him with my own eyes."

"So, you reckon he's not too bad?" Seraphina asked.

"He's way better than I imagined," Sandra paused before continuing, "Sera, did you know? When he was asking me about Betty, he tried to blackmail me using my brother's situation."

Seraphina raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Although he didn't say it outright, I could tell. That's the kind of person he is," Sandra said, "But in the end, he didn't do it. I think it was because of you."

Seraphina was quiet for a moment, then slowly nodded, "Ever since he found out about Betty, he's... changed."

After finding out about Betty, the old Leandro, who was dominant and had his way, disappeared. He started to accommodate her, be considerate of her. Sometimes he couldn't control his true nature, but when he was with her, he was really restrained.

"You're the one who's with him." Sandra said, "You should know better than anyone how he treats you."

Seraphina smiled and replied, "Of course."

"So, how are things between you two now?"

"He's been spoiling me rotten, treating me like a queen. Anything I say goes." Seraphina said, "What more can I say about a guy like that?"

Sandra let out a small sigh, "He's trying to make up for his past mistakes."

"Yeah."

Upon hearing this, Sandra looked seriously at Seraphina, "So, have you... fallen back in love with him?"

Seraphina dried her hands, applied hand cream, and then casually said, "I'm enjoying the good treatment."

"And then?"

"And then," Seraphina winked at her, "we'll both be happy... stop asking me whether I love him or not, love is a tricky word to define. Let's leave it at that, I feel pretty good."

Sandra, somewhat confused, listened.

But ultimately, someone was genuinely good to Seraphina, and she was willing to accept it. That was a step in the right direction, right?

Regardless, she now had a home, someone to rely on, and someone to care about.

Wasn't this the Seraphina she'd always hoped to see?

She used to hope fervently that Seraphina would sever ties with Leandro, but now, she genuinely wanted Seraphina to find happiness with him.

After all, he was genuinely good to her.

When they returned to the dining table, Leandro was chatting with Bowen.

They were both businessmen, so naturally, their conversation was filled with dull economic topics.

Leandro was not usually sociable with strangers, but his attitude towards Bowen, though still distant, was unusually patient and courteous.

Bowen, on the other hand, was much more relaxed, talking about Betty and occasionally teasing Valerio.

When Seraphina and Sandra returned, the atmosphere at the table eased significantly. Even if Leandro didn't speak, it wouldn't be awkward.

In fact, after Seraphina sat down, Leandro didn't speak much. Most of the time, Seraphina and Bowen were chatting, while Leandro was just casually listening, occasionally looking at Valerio, not seeming to put much thought into it.

But Sandra could tell that, despite Leandro's distant demeanor, his attention was mostly on Seraphina.

For example, when Seraphina accidentally knocked over her wine glass, he was apparently looking at his phone, but within a second, he handed her a napkin from the table to wipe it off.

Sandra noticed these details very carefully.

Perhaps because she was so focused on Leandro, she didn't talk much that night. It wasn't until everyone was about to leave that Bowen turned to her and asked, "What's wrong? You didn't eat much tonight and you didn't talk."
