Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 367

Seraphina was holding her phone, murmuring a soft "hello," but there was no response from the other end.

This was undeniably weird. Seraphina snapped back to reality, sat quietly for a moment, then gently tapped on her phone.

Still, no response.

Seraphina decisively hung up, then dialed back.

The call went through, but no matter how long the ringtone went on, no one picked up.

After hanging up, Seraphina found she couldn't sleep anymore.

A late-night call from an unknown number with no sound at the other end - wasn't that ripped straight out of a horror movie?

She'd been living in this house for so many days, was she about to star in her own horror story?

Seraphina found this somewhat amusing, but after the laughter, she suddenly recalled the figure she saw at the supermarket today.

In the day, a figure that looked a lot like Sandra Smith appeared in her line of sight;

At night, a soundless call came through to her phone.

Was this a coincidence? If not, what did these two events mean?

Seraphina was momentarily baffled. She got up, pacing barefoot on the floor, trying to clear her head with the coolness of the ground.

Before she knew it, she walked downstairs to the living room, stopped by the liquor cabinet and got herself a glass of wine.

As the red liquid slowly filled the glass, Seraphina's mind was still occupied with the silent phone call. Just as she was deep in thought, her phone rang again.

Seraphina almost jumped, promptly set down the wine bottle, picked up the phone and saw a domestic number displayed on the screen.

She glanced instinctively at her computer in the living room, then answered the call.

The other end was still eerily silent until Seraphina softly said, "hello".

"It's almost two, you’re still up?" Leandro's voice was deep and calm, as always.

Seraphina glanced at the clock in the living room, paused for a moment, then replied, "Hmm, I can't sleep."

She picked up her wine glass, walked over to the couch, and sat down. After taking a sip, she asked, "Guess what I saw today?"

The two of them hadn't had a normal conversation in a long time.

Apart from the computer in the living room, which was always on video calls, occasionally Valerio would also video chat with Leandro. Most of the time, Seraphina was just there, they would chat casually, asking about each other's well-being, avoiding other topics.

Now, Leandro was sitting in his office, looking at Seraphina's figure on the large screen, when he heard her question, his nerves that had been tense for many days relaxed a bit.

He loosened his tie and asked, "What did you see?"

"I saw a woman... who looks a lot like Sandra." Seraphina replied, "But when I went to find her, she had disappeared."

Hearing this, Leandro couldn't help but frown.

"Do you think there are really ghosts in the world?" Seraphina asked out of the blue.

"No, I don't believe in that." Leandro's reply came without hesitation.

Seraphina smiled faintly, and said slowly, "But I just got a silent call."

Leandro's expression darkened slightly. "Who was it?"
