Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 339

Andrea had just hung up the phone when she bumped into Simon who was just coming downstairs as she was entering the Martin family's mansion.

Seeing Simon at home at this hour was a rare sight due to his busy schedule, so Andrea was slightly surprised. "Dad, you're home so early today?"

"Yep." Simon replied, then asked, "Where have you been?"

"I had dinner at a friend's place." Andrea answered with a smile.

Simon plonked down on the couch and beckoned Andrea to sit next to him.

Following his command obediently, Andrea quickly took a seat.

"You've never been one for many friends." Simon commented, "But I've noticed you've been going out quite a bit recently."

Andrea paused for a moment, shrugged, and said with a grin, "Yeah, I met Leandro's wife at Tania's engagement party and we hit it off, so we've been hanging out a lot lately."

Simon didn't seem surprised by this, which meant he already knew.

After a brief pause, he then looked at Andrea, "You already know, don't you?"

Andrea looked at Simon quietly for a moment, then slowly said, "Dad, are you talking about... the fact that Seraphina is mom's biological daughter?"

Simon's eyes dimmed noticeably at her words. After a few seconds, he responded quietly, "Yep."

Seeing his reaction, Andrea knew that her suspicion had been correct.

Simon had always thought Seraphina was Adelina and another man’s child, and his interest in Seraphina was purely based on that.

Andrea took a deep breath, and casually responded, "Ah, I had my suspicions after that meeting. She did too, so... now we both know."

Simon silently lit a cigarette, listened to Andrea's words, then looked at her for a moment before saying, "Well, that's good. You've always been a loner, now you have a sister, that must make you happy, right?"

Andrea slowly nodded.

Simon gave a faint smile and didn't say anything more.

After a moment of silence, Andrea spoke again, "Dad, mom betrayed you, so do you blame her?"

Simon lightly tapped the ash off his cigarette, and said calmly, "Your mother passed away when I found out, there's no point in bringing it up now."

"Dad, when did you find out about Seraphina's existence?" Andrea asked.

"Long time ago." Simon said faintly, "More than a decade ago, I ran into her when I went to Summitville to visit your mom's grave."

"Did you suspect it then?"

Simon gave a faint smile, "She was the spitting image of your mother, I couldn't help but wonder."

"So you found out she was actually mom's child with another man?" Andrea asked tentatively.

"Yep." Simon took a puff on his cigarette, his expression shrouded by the white smoke, making it hard to read.

Andrea fell silent, deep in thought about the implications of the whole situation.

Just as Simon had said, he had noticed Seraphina's existence more than a decade ago.

Due to her striking resemblance to Adelina, he had his suspicions and ordered an investigation into her background.

The results were unexpected, Seraphina turned out to be the child of Adelina and another man.

Clearly, somebody had manipulated the situation to skew the results.

Only two people cared about revealing Seraphina's true parentage—
