Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 323

Seraphina took a sip of her milk, and seemingly choked on Conway's words. Then, as if remembering something, she wiped her mouth and chuckled, "Yeah, grandpa, I got home late yesterday and didn't get a chance to tell you... Um, I'm actually not mom and dad's child."

Even though Conway was mentally prepared, hearing her casually drop this bombshell left him stunned.

Valerio was young, but he seemed to grasp what Seraphina was saying.

He didn't fully understand the emotional complexities yet, but he looked at Seraphina with concern in his eyes.

Seraphina glanced at him, quickly ruffled his hair reassuringly, and whispered, "It's all good."

Then she looked at Conway, "Grandpa, I've already discussed this with my mom. She had been torturing herself thinking I was dad's child with another woman. But now that she knows the truth, she should be able to forgive the past."

After hearing this, Conway fell silent for a long time, then sighed, "How did this happen?"

"I don't know the truth about this yet." Seraphina said, "But the most important thing right now is to alleviate mom's distress. We can figure out the rest later."

Conway stayed silent for a bit, then said, "Sera, if anything's bothering you, you can talk to me."

"Grandpa, I'm fine." Seraphina slowly said, "Honestly, I'm kinda happy... I've spent many years wondering why mom treated me the way she did, but now I've found the reason, and I feel a lot better."

Hearing this, Conway let out another sigh.

Seraphina turned to Valerio as if nothing had happened, "You're still home this late, you're gonna be late for school. I'll drop you off and explain to your teacher."

Upon hearing that, Valerio immediately nodded and smiled.

Seraphina hurriedly finished her breakfast, then left with Valerio.

Just as Seraphina left the house, Terrence's car hastily pulled up into the Reynolds family's driveway.

After parking, Terrence quickly got out of the car and headed straight for the house.

Conway was sitting in the living room. Seeing Terrence, he immediately had a hunch.

"Mister." Terrence rushed in, asking straight away, "Is Magdalen here?"

Conway slowly shook his head.

Terrence, usually calm and composed, looked flustered, "Then do you know where she went?"

"Sit down first." Conway told him, "Take your time."

Terrence obediently sat down, took a deep breath, and pulled out a ring box from his pocket. Inside was a huge diamond ring.

"This morning, Magdalen had this ring sent back to me." Terrence slowly said, "She only had the messenger say 'thank you' and nothing else. I went to her hotel and they told me she had checked out, her phone is off, and she's not here either. Where on earth did she go?"

Conway, after hearing this, let out a gentle sigh, "You should understand what Magdalen means."

"I understand, but I don't get why!" Terrence said, "She was fine yesterday, and today she suddenly changed... Sera went to see her last night, did she say something to her? Where is Sera?"

"This has nothing to do with Sera." Conway calmly said, "Magdalen just... found herself again. She had been lost for too long."
