Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 263

Obviously, this wasn't the response Leandro was expecting.

"Is that enough?" Leandro asked.

Seraphina's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't it? Maybe you didn't do the math and don't realize how valuable these things are?"

"Did you do the math?" Leandro asked.

"Yes, I did." Seraphina nodded earnestly, "They're worth a lot."

Leandro stared at her for a moment before slowly saying, "You could ask for more."

Seraphina's eyes twinkled as she looked up at him and laughed, "Do you think I'd keep my mouth shut when I need something from you? I'm not that stupid…"

She wasn't lying.

But by her definition of getting things from him, she meant using him for publicity, generating some public attention, and there was hardly anything she actively asked him to do.

As Seraphina spoke, she moved closer to him and continued, "But, whenever I needed your help, I've never been polite to you, have I? I just hope you won't be stingy when the time comes."

Leandro quietly listened to her, then bent down to kiss her.

Seraphina paused for a moment, accepted his kiss, but she no longer had the playful mood she used to have with him.

Leandro knew, but still gently stroked her face, kissing her slowly and tenderly again and again, as if he wanted to savor every flavor of her lips and her heart.

Seraphina seemed to sense something, slowly opened her eyes to look at him, then gently kissed him back.

……

Back at home, after two days of hard work, Seraphina went straight into the bathroom.

Seeing her go in without taking anything, Leandro personally found a set of underwear and pajamas and placed them at the bathroom door.

Then he left the room and went downstairs to call Abbot.

Abbot came in and reported Seraphina's itinerary and condition in detail to Leandro.

After listening, Leandro's expression became serious.

He wasn't sure what Seraphina would do next, but he had a good understanding of her personality and way of doing things.

Next, she might choose what she does best - taking risks.

Leandro sat quietly, not saying a word for a while.

Abbot waited for a long time without clear instructions, and couldn't help but call out, "Mr. Reynolds?"

Leandro looked up and said slowly, "From now on, I need you to arrange more people to protect her, always stay alert, and not let her be in any danger."

Abbot responded, then said, "Mr. Reynolds, if Mrs. Reynolds is doing something dangerous, can we try to stop her…"

After a moment of silence, Leandro simply said, "Just do what she says."

Abbot didn't expect Leandro to say that, but nodded immediately.

The next morning, when Leandro woke up, Seraphina was also awake.

He thought he had woken her up, so he turned to her and said, "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

But Seraphina was already sitting up, fixing her hair, and replied, "I've had enough sleep. I have things to do today."

Leandro looked at her, "What things?"

Seraphina glanced at him, gave a small smile, and slowly said, "I'm going to university, improving myself."

She said she was going to university, but she spent a lot of time getting ready, putting on lipstick and a flowing dress, looking quite eye-catching.

Valerio, who was early, was taken aback when he saw her.

"Do I look good?" Seraphina asked.

Valerio hesitated, then nodded.

Seraphina happily pinched his face.

Leandro knew her intentions weren't so simple, but he didn't say anything, just gave Abbot a longer look when they were leaving.

Abbot understood his meaning and nodded at him.

They both left, with Seraphina in her car reviewing some documents. After looking up a few times, she suddenly noticed something - the car in front of them seemed to have been there all along?

"What's with the car in front?" Seraphina asked.

Abbot, sitting in the passenger seat, reassured her, "Don't worry, it's one of ours."

Seraphina looked again and saw her bodyguard's car following behind.

So, instead of the usual one car, now there were two cars, one in front and one behind, protecting her.

"What happened?" Seraphina laughed lightly, "It's as if we're at war."

"It's Mr. Reynolds' instructions," Abbot said, "We're just following orders."

Hearing this, Seraphina paused, then softly said, "That's fine."

The three cars drove into Sunburst University's Physics Department one after the other. The conspicuous convoy, coupled with Seraphina's grandeur and her bodyguards paving the way, drew everyone's attention.

Even after she entered a lecture hall, many eyes were still on her.

The students already sitting in the hall, those walking in, and those following her in all had their eyes on her.

Seraphina found a seat by the side, glanced up at all the eyes on her, and just gave a small smile.

With two minutes left before the lecture started, the teacher, Maddox, walked in.

He was a tall, thin man with a gentlemanly demeanor. Despite it being a regular lecture, he was still neatly dressed in a suit, radiating an elite aura.

Upon entering the lecture hall, Maddox immediately sensed a different atmosphere.

He saw that most of the students were whispering, their eyes all focused in one direction.

Following their gaze, Maddox immediately spotted Seraphina.

She was quietly sitting in the corner and waiting for the lecture to begin. When Maddox's gaze landed on her, she cracked a small smile.

Maddox, on the other hand, only gave Seraphina a quick glance before he swiftly moved his gaze elsewhere. He walked straight to the podium and started to prepare for the class, just as he always did.
