Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 329

Due to time constraints, Valerio barely got a chance to settle in before Leandro had to rush off to the airport to get back to Sunburst City. He left Keen in charge of sorting out everything for Seraphina and Valerio.

But to Seraphina's surprise, the accommodation Leandro had arranged for them was the old house from their past.

As soon as they walked in, they noticed a new wooden swing had been added under the old tree.

When Valerio saw the swing, his eyes lit up. He ran over, sat down, and started swinging slowly.

Watching him, Seraphina felt as if she was looking at a younger version of herself.

She stood quietly in front of Valerio, just watching him for a while before Keen's voice broke her reverie, "The rooms Mr. Reynolds arranged for you are over here."

At this, Seraphina just smiled slightly.

Without turning around or asking, she already knew which rooms Leandro had arranged for them.

Sure enough, it was the two rooms on the east side, which had been completely transformed since their last visit. The doors and windows had been replaced, yet the vintage vibe was preserved, harmonizing perfectly with the yard. The floors and walls inside the rooms had also been redone, and the furniture was all brand-new.

"We only did a simple refurbishment because we were worried about the formaldehyde and wanted you to move in quickly," Keen explained. "You'll have to make do with it for now."

After exploring both rooms, Seraphina turned to Keen and said, "You're too modest, Mr. Keen. If this is what you call 'making do', then I don't know where else we could possibly live."

Keen didn't take credit for the work, simply saying, "I just followed Mr. Reynolds' instructions."

At this, Seraphina laughed lightly. "Then you can tell Mr. Reynolds that I'm very satisfied with the arrangements and thank him for me."

Keen blinked in surprise, then laughed. "He'd be much happier to hear that from you."

"Right." Seraphina gave a knowing smile, then left the room to check on Valerio.

As she stepped outside, she bumped into Manley, who was just returning from the market.

"Seraphina, have you moved in?" Manley asked, walking over. "Perfect timing. Tonight, we're making Bolognese lasagna. You used to love it when Mrs. Manley made it. Remember?"

"Of course, I remember," Seraphina replied with a smile. "Now that we've moved in, we might have to trouble you and Mrs. Manley with our meals."

"That's no trouble at all! Cooking for four is no different than cooking for two, and it's always more fun to eat together," Manley assured her. "Besides, Leandro already mentioned it to me. If you ever get hungry, just come on over! By the way, where's Leandro?"

"He's not here," Seraphina replied. "But there's someone else."

As she spoke, she called Valerio over from the swing.

"Who's this?" Manley asked, looking a bit surprised.

Seraphina wrapped her arm around Valerio and replied with a smile, "My son. Does he look like me?"

"Your son is already this big?" Manley exclaimed. "He looks a lot like Leandro, but on closer inspection, he does have a bit of your look too!"

Hearing this, Seraphina laughed.

...

That evening, after dinner at the Manley's, Seraphina supervised Valerio's bath. Just as she was about to take hers, Leandro called on video chat.

"Did you have a good dinner?" Leandro asked.

"I ate well," Seraphina replied, pointing the camera at Valerio. "Look at your son's tummy. He's stuffed!"

Valerio immediately blushed and covered his round tummy with a blanket.

"What about you?" Leandro asked.

"I also ate well," Seraphina replied. "I've always loved Mrs. Manley's lasagna."
