Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 247

After meeting up with Leandro, Seraphina headed to the restroom and then straight to the exit.

It was already evening, and the gallery was about to close. A few young employees were just hanging out by the door when they saw Seraphina walking out and they were all gobsmacked. It's rare to see these three main characters of the scandal showing up at the same place, but Seraphina chose to leave by herself.

Leandro and a woman named Magnolia were left alone inside. What's going on here? Although it's a private matter between Seraphina and her husband Leandro, ever since Seraphina took over the gallery, she'd won everyone over with her cheerful and witty personality and her superb work skills, so everyone's rooting for her and they feel upset on her behalf.

"Mrs. Reynolds, why are you leaving?" Sandy stepped up and asked, "Where's Mr. Reynolds?"

Seraphina shrugged and pointed behind her. "He's inside."

"That woman doesn't look like good news, how could you leave her alone with Mr. Reynolds?" Everyone was freaking out. "Aren't you just giving them a chance?"

"You guys need to get this straight, if a man can be stolen by someone else, he was never your man to begin with." Seraphina arched her eyebrows, "I'm kinda hungry, I'm gonna grab some food. You guys should clock out if it's time, don't wait around for me." With that, she turned around and left.

The remaining employees exchanged glances and couldn't help but sigh with worry.

Seraphina walked to a fast food joint a few hundred meters away and got herself some fried chicken and fries. She was just munching away at the door when a familiar figure showed up.

That unique aura, she didn't need to look to know who it was.

"What are you doing?" Keeley casually picked up her untouched iced Americano and took a sip, leaning against the wall next to her. "so pathetic."

Seraphina didn't say anything, just kept eating her fried chicken. "Do I look miserable to you?"

"Your husband is in your gallery alone with another woman, and you're here eating fried chicken." Keeley looked at her sideways. "Don't you think you're a bit pitiful?"

Seraphina finally turned to look at him, "And you? What are you doing here?"

"I'm here to see how miserable you are." Keeley said, "After all, you're the woman who betrayed me. The more miserable you are, the happier I am."

Seraphina chuckled, "This is your idea of misery? When I was in my worst days, you weren't even around! So, I'm sorry, but you're a little late."

Keeley stared at her for a moment, then slowly said, "So you've been through so much, what can't you let go of?"

"Because I don't care." Seraphina replied, "Isn't that love between men and women? Whether a woman you can have can compare to one you can't, if the one you can't be with is actually more precious, all these answers depend on a man's thoughts. I've come to terms with it long ago."

"So..." Keeley sneered, "Are you giving up on yourself?"

"No, I'm just choosing a different lifestyle."

Keeley snorted, "This lifestyle doesn't seem to suit you."

"Is that so?" Seraphina looked at him with amusement, "And what lifestyle would suit me?"

Keeley looked back at her, his gaze slowly drifting off into the distance, a small smile on his lips. "No place to call home, full of passion, doing the most thrilling things, living the freest life."

Seraphina looked at him, "Sounds like your life."

"So..." Keeley moved closer, "I'm a better match for you."

Seraphina laughed again, "Is this your idea of revenge?"

Keeley lifted his chin, looking confidently at the sky, "If you're with me, I'll forgive you."

"Is that your attempt at sincerity?" Seraphina asked.

"I have plenty of sincerity." Keeley replied, "You want some, I've got some."
