Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 289

In a tender moment, Leandro couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

All night, he had been a jumble of emotions. Feeling empty yet anxious, he realized he had been waiting for this moment.

Just when he thought the night was a lost cause, there she was, appearing on his bed like a guardian angel.

From provocation and soothing to now surprise, when did this woman gain total control over his emotions?

In his arms, she still looked so innocent as if he had intruded into her world uninvited.

"Leandro," she said lazily, looking at him with gentle curiosity. "What are you doing? It's late, shouldn't we be sleeping?"

Should they?

Leandro reached out and gently pinched her chin. "Should we?"

Seraphina held his gaze for a moment before breaking into laughter, pushing him away, "Then I'll take a shower first."

As she tried to get up, Leandro pulled her back into his arms before she could even reach the edge of the bed.

…

Ever since Sandra's incident, Seraphina seemed calm on the outside, but her emotions were far from settled.

Even though they tried their best to return to normal life, there was always this heavy stone weighing on their hearts, making it unbearable.

Not until last night, when a key figure in the crime group finally showed up, did they feel a bit relieved and had a chance to breathe.

They had waited for this moment for a long time.

So, their midnight intimacy was particularly intense and unrestrained.

It wasn't until dawn was about to break that Seraphina fell asleep in Leandro's arms. Despite knowing that he didn't have much time to rest, Leandro too fell asleep to the rhythm of her steady, long breaths.

The joy of release after prolonged suppression left them overwhelmingly tired.

Even someone as disciplined as Leandro couldn't escape this exhaustion.

Or perhaps, he had already let himself go.

…

In the morning, Conway and Valerio were surprised to find Leandro absent from the breakfast table.

Usually, Leandro was the first to leave the house, but it was past his usual time and he was still upstairs.

Soon, his driver was seen looking around at the front door. Seeing this, Conway called him in.

"What happened?" Conway asked.

"Mr. Keen called me to say he couldn't reach Mr. Reynolds's phone. He asked me to remind Mr. Reynolds that there's an important meeting this morning," the driver glanced at his watch, "There's not much time left."

Conway turned to Valerio, "Valerio, go wake your dad."

Valerio nodded and dashed upstairs.

In this house, Leandro was not accustomed to locking his bedroom door, so Valerio pushed it open easily.
