Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 290

Deep into the night, Reynolds Manor had fallen silent, and Leandro's car finally pulled up at the entrance.

In the past, he often worked late into the night, which was normal for him. You could even say he got off work early today.

But he didn't know when he started to feel out of sync with this lifestyle. Every time he didn't return home late at night, he felt a bit uneasy.

He knew Seraphina had come home early today. The house was quiet, she must've been asleep.

Leandro returned to his bedroom, didn't see Seraphina, but he didn't mind. After showering, he headed straight to Seraphina's bedroom.

However, when he opened the door to Seraphina's room, with the moonlight streaming in from the window, he found the room empty.

Leandro felt a bit puzzled and glanced back at the empty corridor.

No one was downstairs, no one in the corridor, no one in his room, no one in her room either. Where the hell was Seraphina?

He walked a few more steps to Conway's door, ready to open it, but found no light seeping from under the door. Which meant Conway had gone to bed, Seraphina couldn't be in his room.

Leandro retracted his hand, went to Valerio's room. He hadn't thought much about it, but the image of Valerio appearing in his room in the morning flashed across his mind.

After standing still for two seconds, Leandro reached out, trying to open the door.

However, when his hand gripped the doorknob, trying to turn it, he found the doorknob wouldn't budge.

He'd never encountered such resistance on Valerio's door before. He was a bit puzzled, tried again, and then realized the door was locked.

Valerio usually didn't lock his door when he slept.

Leandro retracted his hand, glanced at the closed door, then returned to his own bedroom.

...

The next morning, Leandro got up at his usual time. After breakfast, neither Seraphina nor Valerio had shown up.

When it was time for him to leave, Leandro went upstairs again. This time, Valerio's door finally opened.

In the room, Seraphina was tying a tie for Valerio, and Valerio, with his hands behind his back, was letting her fuss over him, looking very pleased.

His pleased expression disappeared as soon as he spotted Leandro standing at the door. He blinked and tried to regain his composed demeanor.

Following his gaze, Seraphina turned around, nearly bursting into laughter.

Although Leandro's face didn't show anything, seeing him standing there made Seraphina find it funny.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Seraphina asked.

Leandro didn't answer her question, but asked instead, "Why were you sleeping here last night?"

"He invited me." Seraphina immediately pointed at Valerio. "He said his bed was comfortable and I would definitely sleep well, at least... better than in your bed. I thought, why not give it a try, didn't expect it to be so comfy."

Valerio, hearing this, couldn't help but smile, looking rather smug.

Leandro glanced at his smug face, and directly signaled him to come over, "Come here."
