Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 407

That gentle "can't let go" felt like it carried the weight of the world, landing heavily on Leandro's heart.

He lowered his gaze, observing Seraphina in silence for a long time before finally asking, "Can you say that again?"

But Seraphina refused, pushing him away instead. "Hurry up, Valerio will be home soon, he'll be worried if he can't find me…"

Yet Leandro wouldn't budge, turning the conversation back to her words over and over again, insisting she repeat what she had just said.

Left with no choice, Seraphina finally reached up to rest her hand on his shoulder, gasping slightly before speaking. "How could I possibly let such a great man like Mr. Reynolds be taken by another woman? I won't let you go, not in this lifetime—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she kissed him, stopping his words.

Leandro was taken aback.

Her words were a mix of truth and falsehood, making it impossible to discern whether she truly meant it, or if she was just trying to appease him.

Leandro was not one to be easily swayed by words, but with her, he desperately wanted to hear something that would satisfy him. It seemed impossible.

But now, her willingness to say such things was more than enough for him.

Next moment, he pulled her into his embrace, sinking into the quilts.

...

When everything finally calmed down, the sky had darkened.

After Seraphina finished her shower and emerged from the bathroom, Leandro had already changed into fresh clothes, clearly ready to head out again.

"Where are you going?" Seraphina asked him casually. She was concerned about Valerio and wanting to spend time with him.

As he adjusted his cufflinks, Leandro replied nonchalantly, "Some friends are hosting a dinner party. They plan to put in a good word for Bowen, so I thought I'd show up."

Seraphina, who was already halfway out the door, spun around and walked back to him. "They're speaking up for Bowen? Will he be there?"

Leandro glanced at her and replied, "Probably."

"You're going to such an exciting event and you weren't going to invite me?" Seraphina asked, already heading for their closet to choose her outfit and start getting ready.

"Weren't you going to stay with Valerio?" Leandro asked.

"How dare you even mention that!" Seraphina retorted. "If it wasn't for you... do you think I wouldn't have time to spend with him?"

Seeing her determination to go, Leandro didn't stop her. He let her take her time getting ready while he went downstairs first.

By the time Seraphina was ready and made her way downstairs, Leandro had managed to pacify Valerio. Seeing his mother getting ready to leave, Valerio didn't seem too upset, only bargaining for a weekend outing in return.

Seraphina readily agreed, kissing him and saying, "Of course, we'll go out this weekend. Not just on the weekend, whenever you're on holiday, all my time is yours."

Valerio seemed satisfied with this and finally smiled, glancing at Leandro as if to challenge him.

Ever since he had accepted Seraphina back, the little boy seemed to be getting bolder.
