Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 410

The coming Saturday, with Leandro caught up in work, Seraphina postponed their planned outing to Sunday. Instead, she invited Andrea over for dinner.

With Conway visiting friends and the nanny on her day off, the house was left to Seraphina, her son Valerio, and their guest, Andrea.

Since Seraphina had once expressed her wish to try a meal cooked by Valerio, the young boy was filled with ambition to cook for his mother and aunt, following a recipe he had found.

Seraphina, however, couldn't bear to let him into the kitchen alone and decided to be his assistant.

The result was, of course, a complete mess. Unable to bear the sight, Andrea ushered the two out of the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves to prepare a simple meal of three dishes and a soup.

"Wow," Seraphina was pleasantly surprised. "I didn't know you could cook."

Andrea gave her a sidelong glance, "I'm actually pretty good at surviving, you know?"

"Son, in the future, you need to stick with your aunt more. Learn her survival skills so you can take care of me, okay?" Seraphina told Valerio.

To everyone's surprise, the young boy actually nodded in agreement.

Andrea looked at Seraphina, at a loss for words. "I thought you said you were going to take care of him?"

"I take care of him, or he takes care of me. There's no difference," Seraphina explained. "My son is so brilliant; why should I be worried? If anything, he should be the one looking after me."

"Alright, alright," Andrea hastily interrupted, "We get it. You have a wonderful son. Now quit gloating."

Seraphina couldn't help but laugh. She teased Valerio, "Your aunt is just jealous of us."

Andrea simply rolled her eyes and continued eating.

Seraphina, on the other hand, didn't give up. "Come to think of it, all these years, besides Leandro, have you ever met anyone you thought you could spend the rest of your life with?"

Caught off guard, Andrea nearly choked on her food. She looked at Seraphina, "Do we really need to discuss this in front of the kid?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Seraphina was unfazed. "My son is exceptionally intelligent. There's nothing he can't handle."

With a light sigh, Andrea finally answered, "No."

"That's impossible." Seraphina retorted, "There are so many eligible bachelors in Sunburst City. Aside from their family business, there should be plenty who are better than Leandro."

Andrea put down her utensils to serve herself some soup before responding, "That's if they're interested in me."

"Don't tell me you've set your standards too high?" Seraphina joked, before suddenly remembering something, "By the way, what do you think of Herman Garcia?"

Upon hearing the name, Andrea's attention sharpened. "Stop kidding around, Seraphina. You know his background. What chance do we have?"

"Why not?" Seraphina insisted. "As long as you two like each other, anything is possible."

Andrea simply shrugged, "That's too bad then, because the chance of us liking each other is zero. Isn't it?"

Seraphina thought of Herman's temperament and sighed, "Herman is actually a reliable guy. He's just a bit too straightforward. Can't seem to take a hint."
