Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 433

Herman couldn't shake the feeling that he was onto the truth of the matter, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let it go.

"Could you just ask her for me? See what she says," Herman pondered aloud after mulling it over, "She might say something different to you than she would to me."

Seraphina could hardly contain her amusement at his obsessive behavior, "And if it really is her, what do you plan to do? Step up and take responsibility? Become her boyfriend? Marry her?"

Herman was taken aback at the suggestion.

He had been so focused on confirming whether Andrea was indeed the girl from seven years ago, he hadn't considered Seraphina's implications at all.

"At the very least... I could have a chance to explain things to her, and, well, apologize," Herman said finally.

Seraphina sighed softly and said, "Believe me, after something like that, no woman cares about your apology."

"I know..." Herman paused, then continued slowly, "But to me, it matters a lot."

Seraphina looked up, meeting his gaze for a moment before finally nodding.

"Alright, I'll ask her for you," Seraphina conceded, "But I can't promise you what the outcome will be."

Herman fell silent upon hearing this, not responding further.

As dusk settled, Andrea arrived at Seraphina’s place for another meeting with Seraphina, having been invited once again.

Seraphina had brought home a few takeout dishes from a local diner, creating a simple but decent dinner spread.

Upon entering, Andrea's gaze seemed to wander, as if searching for something.

"Don't worry," Seraphina assured her, "Herman was chased away by me earlier. He's not here."

Andrea gave her a deep look and settled down to chat with little Valerio.

However, Seraphina quickly sent Valerio off to find his friends and play.

"Isn't he eating?" Andrea inquired.

"With all the snacks those kids bring him daily, he's hardly ever hungry," Seraphina chuckled, "Don't worry about him. Just take care of yourself."

Andrea glanced at her before quietly starting her meal.

"You know, I heard a fairy tale this afternoon. Would you like to hear it?"

"Not really," Andrea responded without looking up.

"Well, I want to tell it," Seraphina insisted, and began recounting the story Herman had shared with her that afternoon.

Andrea continued eating as she listened, her expression unchanged even after the story ended.

"He's been carrying guilt and remorse for seven years, which is hard enough," Seraphina commented, "Wanting to know who he hurt is understandable, right?"

Andrea nodded calmly, "Yes."
