Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 414

When Seraphina woke the next morning, at her usual time, Leandro had already showered and was drying his hair as he emerged from the bathroom.

Seeing Seraphina halfway between sleep and wakefulness, Leandro approached the bed, sat down next to her and pressed a kiss on her forehead. “You can sleep in a bit longer, I'll take Valerio to school.”

At this moment, Seraphina could feel every ache in her body, and hearing his voice only irritated her more. She opened her eyes to glare at him, "He only likes it when I take him to school, understand?"

Leandro simply smiled at her response. “Are you sure you want to get up?”

After a moment of struggle, Seraphina finally sat up, the pain in her back flaring even more. She leaned onto Leandro, biting him hard on the shoulder.

“Jerk! You're shameless!”

The pleasure from last night's escapades had left her feeling the consequences in the morning. Add to that her grogginess, and she found herself directing all her irritation towards Leandro, who merely let her bite him, then responded, “I told you I'd handle taking Valerio to school, but you insisted.”

Seraphina released her hold on him, looking up at him with a glare. "Valerio has suffered enough in the past few years. From now on, whatever he wants, I'll give him. I won't let him be disappointed, not even a tiny bit."

Both she and Leandro had had less perfect childhoods. She was determined not to let this repeat with Valerio.

By the time Seraphina had freshened up and descended the stairs, Leandro, Valerio, and Conway were already seated at the dining table, having breakfast.

Valerio seemed to have no issues with his solo sleeping arrangement from the night before. When he saw Seraphina, he gave her a cheerful grin.

"What are you smiling about?" Seraphina asked, sensing something amiss. She ruffled his hair, "Did you do something naughty?"

Valerio shook his head in response, showing his innocence.

"Grandpa asked him if he wanted a little brother or sister." Leandro explained on behalf of Valerio, "He said he wants a sister."

So that was what they were discussing while she was away.

Seraphina looked at Valerio, "Dummy! Why do you need a sister? Isn't it good that your mom and dad only love you?"

Valerio shook his head, making a mouth shape, "Want—sis—ter."

"That's Valerio's wish, Sera. You should grant it." Conway chimed in.

Valerio's wish?

Seraphina immediately turned to Leandro, pointing a fork at him, "Did you put him up to this?"

She'd just promised to fulfill all of Valerio's wishes, and now he was asking for a younger sister. She couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Leandro set down his coffee mug and answered her, "I didn't."

Seraphina met his gaze for a moment, then put down her fork and looked back at Valerio, "There won't be a younger sister for now. You have all those girls at school who are always fawning over you, aren't you tired of them? And now you want a younger sister?"
