Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 346

The charity auction wrapped up and Bowen was without a doubt the man of the hour.

As the interview session kicked off, the majority of the reporters swarmed Bowen, grilling him about his big spender donations that night, leaving only a handful of them around Seraphina and Leandro.

Seraphina was chuffed to bits about the fundraising results and was all smiles during the interview.

Leandro usually gave reporters the silent treatment but with Seraphina playfully nudging him from time to time, he surprisingly answered a few questions.

In contrast to Seraphina and Leandro's easy banter, the vibe between Bowen and Tania was seriously awkward.

Despite Bowen being the top donor of the night, putting Tania in the limelight, Bowen’s strange reaction left Tania feeling down in the dumps. She had no mood to bask in the attention and just stood quietly next to Bowen, giving curt responses when reporters occasionally asked her a question.

Facing the interview cameras, Bowen's smile finally returned and he patiently answered the reporter's questions.

Since he confessed that the girl in the painting Romance in Bloom was his sister, a reporter asked, "Mr. Smith, we're very sorry to hear about your sister. As she's the protagonist of Romance in Bloom, could you share some stories about her?"

At that question, Tania's face shifted slightly, and she carefully observed Bowen's reaction.

Unexpectedly, Bowen just smiled, not showing any emotional turbulence and said, "My sister was just an ordinary girl. She's passed away, and her stories are pretty ordinary too. It's not worth everyone's excessive attention. I also don't want her soul to be disturbed."

"Mrs. Reynolds stated that the watch and ring were left by her deceased friend. Is your sister this friend of Mrs. Reynolds? Did you bid for the watch and ring because they belonged to your sister?"

At that question, Tania hesitated.

She hadn't thought of this before — who else could Seraphina's deceased female friend be?

Even though she knew little about Seraphina, her mind immediately jumped to Sandra.

A wave of mixed emotions welled up in her heart and she looked at Bowen.

Bowen simply said, "I'm not sure who Mrs. Reynolds' friend is. I bid for the watch and ring simply because I liked them."

After the interview, Bowen took Tania over to Leandro and Seraphina.

Seeing him, Seraphina immediately broke into a grin, "Mr. Smith, you were really generous tonight."

Bowen replied casually, "I just bid on a few items I wanted. I wouldn't call that generous."

"You're right." Seraphina said, "So I must express my gratitude for your generosity."

"Actually, it's your selection of auction items that were amazing." Bowen said, "You really have a knack for this industry."

Seraphina laughed and said, "But it also requires someone who appreciates it. Mr. Smith, you and I have the same taste. Although I didn't get the painting in the end, I'm still very satisfied. Thank you."

Bowen just smiled lightly at that.

Seraphina took a look at Tania standing next to Bowen, lost in thought, and then started laughing, "I guess you bought the watch to save me from embarrassment, and as for the ruby ring, you must have planned to give it to Ms. Martin, right?"
