Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 243

Seraphina ate her breakfast without distraction.

Leandro quickly averted his gaze, gave Valerio a glance, and tapped gently on the table in front of him.

Valerio snapped back to reality, hastily finished off the remaining milk in his cup.

The three sat at the dining table, not uttering a word, like strangers sharing a meal.

The silence was broken when Seraphina's phone suddenly rang a few times.

Seraphina put down her cutlery, checked her phone, then turned to Valerio, asking, "Done eating?"

Valerio nodded.

"Go upstairs and read then," Seraphina said.

Despite some dissatisfaction, Valerio left the dining table as she suggested and headed upstairs.

Then, Seraphina slowly opened the message she had received earlier.

The message was from Terrell, a few pictures and a voice message.

Seraphina opened the voice message without any hesitation.

From her phone, Terrell's voice came out, clear enough for Leandro to hear, "Pictures of your husband and Magnolia are out, have a look and pick one."

Leandro glanced at her again, while Seraphina had already opened the pictures, studying them meticulously.

Different angles, but all taken at last night's concert. Magnolia on stage, Leandro in the audience, perfectly stitched together, looking like an intimate exchange of gazes.

Seraphina looked through the pictures and then sent a voice message, "Only these? Send more, I'll pick."

Terrell quickly replied, "What's wrong with you? Why are you examining pictures of your husband with another woman so closely? You just need to stir up some controversy, just pick any!"

As soon as he finished, a string of pictures came through again.

Seraphina didn't immediately look at the pictures, instead, she replied, "What do you mean stir up controversy? We're reporting facts, aren't we? Which part is fake?"

"I've never met a woman like you, getting all worked up over topics about your husband and other women," Terrell said.

"You don't understand," Seraphina continued to voice message, "This Ms. Magnolia is no ordinary woman, she's important to Mr. Reynolds. Me, Mrs. Reynolds, might have to step aside for her one day."

Afterwards, she reopened the pictures sent by Terrell, examining each one carefully.

"This Ms. Magnolia, truly a combination of talent and beauty," Seraphina said as she looked at the pictures, "Each photo is so stunning, it's breathtaking…"

She casually glanced at Leandro after she said that.

From the moment she started the conversation with Terrell, Leandro had put down whatever he had in his hand, leaned back in his chair, silently observing her.

Seraphina continued to peruse the pictures on her phone, and upon seeing a picture of Magnolia with teary eyes looking at the stage, she chuckled and turned the phone towards Leandro.

Leandro glanced at the picture on her phone, his expression unchanged.

Seraphina smirked, "This is when she was looking at you, right? It really looks like… she likes you a lot. Even I'm getting butterflies!"

After she finished, she flipped to the next picture, a shot of Leandro gazing at the stage.

Then she showed the picture to Leandro, "This is a good picture of you. Can I interview you? Were you particularly moved, particularly proud, when you were watching her on stage?"
