Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 40

Seraphina's gaze drilled deep into Peterson, causing him both stimulation and pain.

He stared back at her, asking, "Can you repeat that?"

Seraphina glanced at him, not repeating her previous words, "Since you know you screwed up, back off a bit, don't give me the creeps!"

Peterson's face froze instantly, "Seraphina!"

Seraphina squinted her eyes, leisurely watching him, "Anything else?"

Peterson locked eyes with her. After a while, he obviously calmed down, his voice dropping, "Could you stop torturing me, please?"

Upon hearing this, Seraphina slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, then looked at him and smiled, "You're the one who betrayed me. If you feel guilty, then any pain, you should bear it!"

After saying this, she tried to push him away, but Peterson stood his ground, "I feel guilty because I love you! What about you? After two years together, did you ever care about me?"

Seraphina slightly turned her head to look at him.

Peterson once again grabbed her hand, "After we broke up, did you feel even a tiny bit sad?"

"Before you asked, you should know, the betrayer was you," Seraphina pointed at his chest with her slender finger, "Given that, you have no right to question whether I was sad."

Peterson looked down at her finger on his chest, his body stiffening.

As Seraphina finally managed to push him away, she turned to Balch, "Mr. Lawson, this is the third time you've walked me home. I should probably invite you in for a coffee."

Saying this, she didn't wait for Balch's response and turned to walk upstairs.

Balch glanced at Peterson, then casually followed.
