Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 474

That night, Bowen should have been the busiest groom alive, bustling with the fervor of the grand reception. Yet, the moment Leandro and Seraphina made their entrance, the smile that once graced his face vanished, never to return.

Even as he occasionally exchanged pleasantries with the arriving guests, his laughter was faint, his eyes betraying a stormy gloom.

Before long, Bowen had slipped away from the entrance of the grand hall.

Simon Martin, mingling among the guests, keenly sensed Bowen's absence. He promptly sent his assistant, Isaac, on a search mission.

Isaac scoured the place without any luck. Eventually, he knocked on the bridal suite, only to find Tania primping in front of a mirror, surrounded by a gaggle of bridesmaids, all immersed in merry banter.

The sudden appearance of Simon's aide startled Tania, "What brings you here? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing at all," Isaac stammered, "I just came to see if you were ready, miss. I won't disturb you ladies further."

Knowing Tania's inability to keep things under wraps, Isaac dared not divulge Bowen's disappearance, fearing the chaos it might unleash. So, with a polite nod, he closed the door and retreated.

Just around the corner, Isaac nearly collided with Andrea. He hesitated for a split second before greeting her, "Miss Martin."

Andrea simply nodded, "What are you doing here?"

Isaac furrowed his brow slightly and decided to speak up, "Miss, have you seen Mr. Smith?"

Andrea shook her head, asking, "He's missing?"

"He was just at the entrance, welcoming guests," explained Isaac. "He seemed to leave the banquet hall, and Mr. Martin sent me looking for him."

Andrea showed little reaction, merely responding, "Carry on, then."

With a quick acknowledgment, Isaac hurried off.

Andrea lingered, but then turned and stepped back into the banquet hall.

Amidst the lavish spread of a hundred tables, Andrea walked straight to the front, where indeed, she found Leandro and Seraphina at the third table.

Seraphina was engaging with those around her, and upon spotting Andrea, she waved her over.

Approaching, Andrea joined her away from the crowd, "Your dress is a hit tonight," Seraphina commented.

But Andrea was hardly concerned with compliments, "Did you see Bowen when you arrived?"

"He was playing doorman, how could I miss him?" Seraphina replied, adjusting her own gown.

"What did you say to him?" Andrea inquired in a low voice, "He's gone missing now."

At this, Seraphina couldn't suppress a giggle, "Really?"

While inquiring, she scanned the room and indeed noticed the Martin family in a state of subtle disarray, a stark contrast to the earlier jovial atmosphere.

Seraphina sighed, "Why all the fuss? He's waited so long for this day; do they really think he'd ditch her at the altar?"

"That depends on what you told him," Andrea retorted.

Seraphina laughed again, eyeing Andrea, "Whatever I said, it wouldn't shake him."

As they spoke, Simon rushed past, accompanied by an assistant. Seraphina nudged Andrea, who followed Simon's lead out the door.

Watching Andrea disappear, Seraphina turned back to Leandro.

Meanwhile, Andrea and Simon arrived at a room guarded by Isaac.

"Miss Martin," Isaac greeted her.
