Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 390

At that time, Leandro never wanted to see Seraphina again.

He didn't want to see what she looked like now, didn't want to know how she was living, and didn't want to know whether she was doing well or not.

In the past year, he had successfully isolated many pointless people and things. Bringing up the past was not his style anymore.

But a living, breathing blood relation was right in front of him and he had no choice but to look into it.

Conveniently, he had a business trip to Moonhaven in a week.

With this opportunity, he could have his subordinates investigate in Velvetwood.

But that trip to Moonhaven was extremely unsuccessful. He hit a wall everywhere, was left to cool his heels by his business partners for a few days, and got nothing done.

Finally, Leandro decided to leave.

On the day he left, it was early spring, the weather was fine, sunny and warm.

The flight took off in the evening, the accompanying staff were given the day off, and everyone was free to do their own thing. He himself drove aimlessly.

This trip was unsuccessful, and he felt frustrated. He drove onto the road absentmindedly, and when he came to his senses, there was a road sign for Velvetwood.

He looked at the name Velvetwood from afar, a name that was both strange and familiar, and suddenly remembered that he had another purpose for this trip.

And at this moment, he was so close to that purpose.

Perhaps he only needed to drive another twenty or thirty minutes to see the person he had been apart from for a whole year.

She was nineteen now.

Maybe she had matured, maybe she had gotten prettier, maybe she had made new friends...

Maybe she had already forgotten him.

Leandro slowly parked the car on the side of the road and lit a cigarette for himself.

When he finished the cigarette, he started the car again, turned around, and left without looking back.

He didn't go to check in person after all.

It was because he thought it was impossible, and also because of the steadfastness in his heart.

After returning to Moonhaven, he sent someone else to investigate, stating clearly that he did not need any information, just a result.

But the person who went to investigate still brought back some information, and reported it without his objection.

After going to Velvetwood, she had reunited with her mother, settled down securely, and was attending a tutoring class. She was currently applying to several universities, including the famous University of Pennsylvania.

She was doing well.

She had never given birth.

This was the result he had anticipated, so he had no reaction.

It wasn't until a long, long time later that he finally understood -

Behind that complete calm and steadfastness, was the unspoken expectation.

It was the same then, and it is the same now.

The only difference is, back then, he never faced or touched this expectation;

And now, after a long period of emptiness and tranquility, all of a sudden, something seemed to pierce through the sky and hit straight to his heart!

His heart, which had been calm before, was now beating violently.

Leandro stretched out his hand and pulled Seraphina into his arms, holding her tightly.

Seraphina's tears had never been as uncontrollable as they were today.

The moment she hit Leandro's shoulder, more tears flowed out.

"Thank you," she said in a damp and hoarse voice when she spoke again, "Thank you for helping me find my child -"

"Our child." Leandro said heavily.

Seraphina bathed Valerio for a long time.

In the more than a year that she had known Valerio, he had always bathed himself from the moment he started living with her.

But this time, Seraphina filled the bathtub with water and washed him thoroughly.
