Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 419

Even though Valerio's mood was back to its usual cheerful self, allowing their vacation to proceed as planned, there was an undeniable tension between Seraphina and Leandro in the next few days.

While Valerio was too young to understand, Seraphina and Leandro were well aware that some things weren't so easily brushed aside.

During these days, Leandro was out early and back late, and the housekeeper finally sensed the discord between the two adults.

"What's going on with you and Mr. Leandro, my lady?" the housekeeper asked Seraphina the night before their departure. "You're leaving for your vacation tomorrow, right? Have you two had a fight?"

Valerio, who had been sitting next to Seraphina, immediately looked at her upon hearing the question.

Seraphina met his gaze and smiled gently, "Of course not."

Valerio visibly relaxed.

"So, the trip is still on for tomorrow?" the housekeeper ventured.

"Of course it is," Seraphina replied, pulling Valerio into her arms. "Our little Valerio has been looking forward to it for days. We can't possibly cancel now."

That night, Leandro returned home late as usual. Knowing they had a long flight the next day, Seraphina and Valerio had gone to bed early. Leandro stood outside Valerio's room for a moment, listening to the silence, before retreating to his own room.

The next morning, Valerio woke up earlier than usual, instantly rousing Seraphina. His excitement soon spread throughout the house, and everyone was up and about earlier than usual.

Seraphina, who hadn't slept well, was lethargic and not in the mood for conversation. The housekeeper, noticing the tension between her and Leandro, exchanged a worried look with Conway Reynolds.

Conway, however, seemed indifferent. The family was about to be on a trip, and there would be plenty of time for them to sort out their issues. He was confident there would be no long-lasting disputes between them.

After breakfast, before the trio left for their flight, Conway left with his personal assistant, and the housekeeper went out to do some grocery shopping.

While Leandro worked in his study, Seraphina sat with Valerio, watching a science program on TV. Valerio, although excited about the trip, was engrossed in the show.

During this time, a delivery arrived at the house. It was the two coats Seraphina had ordered from a boutique during their shopping trip. She had forgotten about them until they arrived, just in time for their trip.

Seraphina gave the coats to Valerio, told him to deliver them to Leandro as a surprise. Valerio, engrossed in the TV program, simply handed them back to her, asking her to do it.
