Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 274

Seraphina was somewhat dazed due to a series of long dreams she had. It was only when she heard his voice that she seemed to wake up a bit.

She had been overly tired in the past few days, and her sleep had been very restless. When she sensed the familiar surroundings and smell, she felt a bit relieved, but increasingly she just wanted to lay down and not move at all.

Leandro was lying next to her, and she felt a warmth from where he was, so she couldn't help but snuggle up to him.

Leandro opened his arms to welcome her.

There were no lights on in the room. Seraphina lay quietly for a while before asking, "What time is it now?"

"Half past ten," Leandro replied.

Seraphina was a bit puzzled, "p.m.?"

"Yes."

Seraphina did a quick calculation. Had she slept... thirteen hours in total?

Even so, at this moment, she still didn't want to move, let alone get up.

But once awake, there's always something pressing on the mind. After a while, she whispered again, "Leandro, Sandra... Sandra’s cremation is tomorrow."

There was no emotion in her voice as she said this. But after saying it, she involuntarily leaned into Leandro.

Leandro held her, silent for a while, then slowly said, "I'll go with you to say goodbye to her tomorrow."

Seraphina lay in his arms with her eyes closed, silent for a long time.

Feeling her stillness, Leandro pulled the blanket over her and said, "Go back to sleep."

Seraphina didn't respond, but there was no further movement.

It was quite a while before Leandro realized that she had fallen asleep again.

She was clinging to him as if he was her pillar, quietly lying in his arms. Her breathing gradually steadied.

Leandro lowered his head and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.

In the pitch-black room, listening to her gentle and even breathing, Leandro lay quietly for a long time, eventually falling asleep.

The next morning, Seraphina woke up before Leandro.

She had slept for too long, and she had plans for the day, so she was awake before the sky was fully lit.

There was a faint morning light in the room. With this light, Seraphina could see the person in front of her clearly.

Leandro... the sleeping Leandro?

She was a bit puzzled and began to wonder if she was still dreaming.

In her memory, she had never seen Leandro asleep. It was only now that she realized that his often furrowed brow would relax when he was asleep.

Perhaps only when he was sleeping could he truly relax. So at this time, his usual guarded and tense state was gone, his face was not as serious as usual, and he even looked a few years younger, a bit like... the him in his twenties that she knew.

Seraphina quietly looked at him and couldn't help but reach out her hand, slowly moving it towards his face.

But before her fingers touched his skin, Leandro slowly opened his eyes under her gaze. In an instant, his eyes were clear again.

Seraphina's hand was hanging in the air between them, and she forgot to retract it in the moment.

Okay, she had to give up the idea of "he relaxes when he sleeps" - he was still on guard.
