Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 326

Late at night, Herman stepped out of his room, planning to head downstairs to the convenience store for some stuff.

Little did he expect, as soon as he stepped out of his room, Seraphina's room across the hall was wide open.

Herman's room was next to Seraphina's for the convenience of looking out for each other. He couldn't help but wander over and peek into the open room.

He saw Leandro sitting alone by the window, a bottle and a glass on the small table in front of him. The bottle was already more than half-empty.

"Leandro?" Herman was taken aback.

Today's events had left Seraphina in a state that had everyone worried, and Herman was no exception.

But with Leandro around, he could somewhat let his guard down. After all, Leandro was the closest person to Seraphina, if anything, they could console each other, and it was none of his business.

He was waiting in his room until this hour, only to find Leandro in a room across from Seraphina's when he stepped out?

Herman glanced at Seraphina's room, the door was still firmly shut. He stepped into Leandro's room, "Why aren't you in Seraphina's room?"

Leandro, gripping his glass, a stern look on his face, casually replied after hearing his question, "Didn't you say she wanted to be alone?"

"But you..." Herman was about to say he thought Leandro would be the exception, but seeing the look on Leandro's face, he swallowed his words.

It seemed, if Leandro could be that exception, he wouldn't be in this state right now.

Herman paused, then asked, "I'm heading to the convenience store, need me to grab you anything?"

"Cigarettes." Leandro said.

Herman was taken aback, "Didn't you quit smoking?"

"Get some just in case." Leandro replied.

Herman hesitated for a while but eventually didn't say anything and headed out the door.

When he came back to the room, the door across was still shut, and the bottle of liquor in front of Leandro was empty.

Herman pulled out the cigarettes from the bag and handed them to Leandro.

Leandro took them, swiftly ripped the pack open, and took one out.

He was very proficient at this, but when it came to the last step, lighting the cigarette, he stopped—

Leandro didn't have a lighter, he couldn't light the cigarette.

Herman quietly watched, feeling the lighter in his pocket suddenly seemed to heat up.

But to his surprise, Leandro didn't ask for a lighter, instead, he crushed the cigarette in his hand and continued to drink.

"Leandro." Herman spoke again, "Why don't you ask the hotel for an extra room card, go check on her? After all, something big happened, she's alone in there, what if..."

"It's fine." Leandro slowly said, "She'll come around."

As he said, she had lost so much in the past, people around her leaving one by one, she made it through all that.

Moreover, Magdalen's departure this time wasn't out of the blue, didn't cause any pain, even could be considered a relief.

With Seraphina's intellect and personality, she could understand this.

Hearing him say this, Herman was slightly taken aback, "Then you..."
