Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 51

At nine in the evening, the Reynolds Manor was as quiet as a ghost town.

Years had passed and the Reynolds had all packed up and left, but surprisingly, Reynolds Manor remained as it was, exactly like seven years ago. It was perfectly preserved, just without any inhabitants, making it feel eerily empty.

Balch's car rolled in through the main gate. Seraphina stared at the garden she was all too familiar with, feeling somewhat dazed.

Two cars were parked in front of the main house. One was the same car Conway had driven when he last came to see her, the other belonged to Leandro.

The fact that Conway had fainted, a big deal that even she was notified about, and here was only Leandro's car, the whole thing seemed fishy.

Balch parked the car and accompanied Seraphina into the main house.

The hall was illuminated by dim yellow light, casting a familiar silhouette of the house.

After seven long years, Reynolds Manor hadn't changed a bit.

Seraphina paused in the hall, and Balch turned to look at her.

She pointed to the kitchen with a smile. "When I was hungry in the middle of the night, I used to sneak into the kitchen to find something to eat, and hid there, eating quietly before daring to go upstairs."

Upon hearing this, Balch reached out to hold her hand.

Her palm was a bit cold, but she still smiled at him, "I felt so pitiful back then, but now that I think about it, it was kind of fun."

Just as the words left her mouth, a tall figure appeared on the stairs.

Leandro was coming down the stairs.

He was walking slowly, dressed simply in black trousers and a white shirt, contrasting against the grand and vintage staircase behind him, exuding a sense of elegance.

The moonlight just happened to shine through the window.

Seraphina suddenly remembered a night seven years ago.
