Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 363

In the video, Leandro was saying a few words to Valerio, while Seraphina was sitting on the sofa, head down, engrossed in her phone.

Valerio nodded after hearing Leandro's words, then handed the tablet to Seraphina.

Seraphina looked up and her gaze directly met Leandro's in the video.

There was a moment of silence, then Seraphina said, "We just arrived, I’m feeling a bit wiped out, we still need to adjust to the time difference. We plan to stay home and rest today, and I will sort out stuff with the lawyer tomorrow."

"Alright," said Leandro, "Take it easy."

"You too," Seraphina replied.

With that, she handed the tablet back to Valerio.

"I'm gonna hit the shower, don’t glue your eyes to the tablet for too long, okay?" Seraphina said, ruffling Valerio's hair before heading upstairs.

Valerio watched her go up, then turned to the video and gave a small smile.

Leandro on the other end of the video also smiled.

After Seraphina had her shower, she took Valerio for his, then they both went to bed.

Valerio was claiming he couldn't sleep, but was out like a light in less than twenty minutes.

Listening to his steady breathing, Seraphina couldn't help but tweak his nose.

Valerio was sleeping soundly, but she was wide awake.

These quiet moments, just lying in bed and letting her thoughts wander, were relaxing in their own way.

Seraphina lay awake for three hours. Seeing no signs of Valerio waking up, she decided to head downstairs and watch TV.

Leandro's housekeeper only showed up when needed, so the house was quiet with just Seraphina and Valerio.

After going downstairs, Seraphina first had a drink of water in the kitchen, then sat in the living room. Just as she was about to switch on the TV, she noticed the computer on the desk was on.

She guessed Valerio probably turned it on when he was bored, so she went over to shut it down.

A few programs were running on the computer. After closing each one, the video call interface appeared.

In the video, her body occupied most of the screen, with a small corner in the upper right unclear.

After switching between a couple of screens, Seraphina finally saw that on the other end was what seemed to be the ceiling of Leandro's office.

From the angle, it looked like Leandro's phone was placed on his office desk, with the video call still connected.

Seraphina was slightly taken aback, then put on her headphones.

No one was visible in the video, and the voices outside the frame were distant and noisy, but Seraphina could still make out Leandro's voice, and Keen's, along with two or three other top executives from the Reynolds Group. They were discussing a project in Europe.

Everyone was having a meeting a bit far from the phone, likely not noticing the small sounds coming from it.

Seraphina glanced at the ceiling in the screen, then at her own webcam, and a light bulb went off.
