Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 45

Although she had a hunch, Seraphina was still taken aback by Valerio’s sudden appearance. The fact that he came alone, without anyone with him, was a real shocker.

"How did you get here?" Seraphina squatted down to ask Valerio. "Where's your family?"

Valerio didn't answer, just kept staring at her.

So, left with no other option, Seraphina took Valerio into the house.

Upon entering the room, they found Conway seated comfortably on the sofa. Valerio's eyes widened in surprise as they darted first to Conway and then to Seraphina.

Conway mirrored his gaze, first looking at Valerio, then turning his attention to Seraphina.

After a moment, both Valerio and Conway found seats on separate sofas flanking Seraphina, observing her while she was engrossed in a phone call.

On the other end of the line was Karan, reporting that Valerio had slipped away unnoticed and she was now desperately searching for him.

As she listened to the phone call, Seraphina rubbed her temples and cast a helpless look towards Valerio and Conway, who were seated right in front of her.

After hanging up, Seraphina looked at Conway seriously, "Grandpa, your great-grandson dared to run away from home at such a young age. Aren't you going to discipline him?"

Conway casually took a sip of water from the cup in front of him and said, "He came to find you. Besides, before he met you, he never did anything like this, so you should be the one to discipline him."

Seraphina bit her lip and laughed, "That's not my job. If you're not going to discipline him, then if he gets lost, that's a problem for the Reynolds family."

"The Reynolds family?" Conway repeated.

"Grandpa, although I see you as my own grandpa, I'm not a part of the Reynolds family after all!"

Conway sneered and furrowed his brows.

Seraphina felt a headache coming on.

She couldn't shake off the little guy, and the old guy was becoming more and more stubborn. Who had she pissed off to deserve this?

As Seraphina was thinking about how to discipline Valerio, the doorbell rang again.

The moment she opened the door, Seraphina thought that she should move to a bigger house. How could such a small single room accommodate three people from the Reynolds family?

Leandro, dressed in a dark suit, looked at her coldly with furrowed brows.

"Mr. Reynolds, what a coincidence." Seraphina stepped aside, "Your family's old man and little guy are waiting for you to pick them up."

Leandro entered the room, his face devoid of any emotion. He called out "grandpa," and then his attention shifted to Valerio.

Valerio recoiled and quickly stood up, rushing over to Seraphina and clutching her leg tightly. He bowed his head and remained silent.

Leandro didn't say much, just a simple command, "Valerio, come out."

Valerio clung tightly to Seraphina's leg, refusing to budge even when she tried to move. His grip only tightened.

"Ten seconds." Leandro's voice remained cold and hard, leaving no room for negotiation.

Though Seraphina wasn't intimidated by Leandro, she could still feel the intense chill emanating from him. Valerio, who was clinging to her leg, seemed to feel it too. He trembled slightly but still held onto her tightly.

"Hey!" Seraphina called out helplessly, "Kid, your dad is calling you!"

Only then did Valerio lift his head and look at Seraphina.

His eyes were full of hope and longing. It was clear as day, but she had never given him anything.

While Seraphina was still in a daze, Valerio suddenly lifted a piece of paper and handed it to her.

When she saw what was written on the paper, her heart clenched.

It read: Are you my mom?
