Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 39

Leandro got home, went straight upstairs, and stopped outside Valerio's room.

He pushed open the door to find Valerio peacefully sleeping in his bed.

Leandro stepped in, sat by the bed, and quietly stared at Valerio's face for quite some time.

When noises came from downstairs, Leandro turned his head, tuning in.

Footsteps grew louder as they neared, and soon, Karan appeared at the door.

Upon seeing him, a surprised Karan said, "Oh, you're home?"

Leandro stood up, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

"Why are you back?" Leandro asked.

"I got a call from Seraphina. She said she can't take care of Valerio tonight, so she asked me to come back and look after him," Karan said, somewhat annoyed. "I knew I couldn't count on her."

Leandro went downstairs, and after a brief moment of hesitation, Karan followed him.

"I heard from my daughter about you and Seraphina. The whole thing is blowing up online. Everyone knows about it, right?" Karan asked.

Leandro showed no reaction to this. "You know about it too," he replied.

"So what if I know?" Karan said, adding, "Your mom even called me today to ask if I knew about your situation."

"What did you tell her?"

Karan shot him a look and said, "What could I possibly tell her? How much of your business would I know? I really can't figure out what you're playing at with that girl! You know your mom doesn't like Seraphina, you should try to upset her less! Hasn't she suffered enough these past few years?"

Leandro replied emotionlessly, "Don't worry."
