Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 380

At 5 AM, Valerio woke up, immediately got out of bed and headed straight for Seraphina's bedroom.

But once he opened the door, the room's empty.

Valerio immediately turned and ran to Leandro's bedroom and tried to open the door, only to find it locked. Convinced that Seraphina had returned, Valerio began banging on the door. Inside, Seraphina, who just managed to doze off, was jolted awake by the racket. Her heart started racing.

When she looked at Leandro, though, he's as wide awake as if he'd had a full night's sleep.

Seeing her awake, Leandro threw her a glance and said, "Valerio's up."

Then he threw back the covers and got out of bed, ready to open the door. As Seraphina watched him, still dazed, she suddenly became alert when she spotted something.

She quickly threw on her nightgown, hollering, "Leandro!"

Leandro, who'd reached the foot of the bed, turned to look at her.

Seraphina gestured to the floor. It's a complete mess.

Leandro usually kept things tidy, but sometimes, in certain situations, he let things slide.

This was one of those special situations. "If you open the door now...I swear, I'll jump out the window," Seraphina said through gritted teeth.

Leandro looked at her, then picked up a towel from the foot of the bed. "You think you're the only one who doesn't know how to explain this?" he said.

Then the CEO of the Reynolds Group bent down to start cleaning up the mess.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Seraphina watched him. After a while, she cracked a small, satisfied smile.

Amidst Valerio's pounding, Leandro finished tidying up, then walked over and opened the door.

By now, Valerio's clearly antsy, his face full of confusion and a hint of anger towards Leandro.

Before Seraphina came along, Valerio had never shown Leandro this side of him, let alone challenged him.

But with Seraphina's backing, things had clearly changed.

Before Leandro could even respond, Valerio squeezed past him and darted into the room, jumping onto the bed and into Seraphina's arms.

Leandro watched them for a moment, closed the door, and headed for the bathroom.

Seraphina breathed a sigh of relief, pinched Valerio's cheek, and said, "You're causing such a ruckus first thing in the morning, disrupting our sleep!"

Valerio pouted, clearly not bothered by the details. He just held Seraphina tighter.

Looking down at him, Seraphina suddenly said, "You got a haircut too? With your dad?"

Valerio nodded.

His haircut was similar to Leandro's, since they both went to the same barber. So, Valerio now looked like a carbon copy of his dad.

Seraphina watched him quietly. When she heard the toilet flush, she told Valerio, "It's still early. Go back to sleep."

Valerio readily accepted and quickly burrowed into Seraphina's covers.

By the time Leandro came out of the bathroom, Seraphina was already holding Valerio, eyes closed, leaning against the pillow.
