Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 52

Conway was sound asleep. After Seraphina had stayed by his side for a while, she turned to Balch, "I'm sorry, I really wanted to introduce you to my grandpa."

Balch gently patted her shoulder, whispering, "It's alright, there will be plenty of chances in the future."

Hearing this, Seraphina looked worriedly at the sleeping Conway.

Seeing her expression, Balch said, "You stay here with your grandpa, I'll go downstairs. Call me if anything happens."

Seraphina nodded without turning around. Balch then headed downstairs.

Downstairs, Leandro was lounging on the sofa, puffing away at a cigarette with a glass of whisky on the table in front of him.

He had his eyes closed, but opened them slowly when he heard footsteps. He saw Balch.

"Looks like Conway’s condition is stable now," Balch approached, "You don't need to worry too much, Mr. Reynolds."

"Thank you, Mr. Lawson. Care for a drink?"

Balch smiled, "No thanks, I drove here."

Leandro took a sip of his whisky and resumed his quiet smoking.

Seeing Leandro's obvious irritation, Balch didn't linger for further conversation. Instead, he headed outside.

Once under the eaves, Balch lit up a cigarette, quietly taking in the view of the manor.

This was where she grew up. It was indeed hard to let go.

Before he finished his cigarette, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from the company. There had been some mishaps with a project in Europe that required his personal attention.

Why did it happen at this time?
