Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 8

Karan and that boy named Valerio Reynolds both turned to her at the same time.

Blowing on her fingers and giving her earlobe a pinch, Seraphina then turned to Karan and apologized in a distracted manner, "Sorry, Karan, the soup was too hot and I just couldn't hold it."

Karan gave her a displeased side-eye and took the bowl of soup to the kitchen.

Rubbing her earlobe, Seraphina then turned to the boy opposite her. Valerio was already eating, his eyes lowered as he chewed elegantly and quietly. Seraphina hadn't noticed before, but now she found him somewhat familiar. The more she looked at him, the more he reminded her of Leandro.

Karan brought out another bowl of soup and placed it before Seraphina.

"Thanks, Karan." Seraphina kept her smile, her gaze drifting over to the boy across from her from time to time.

Karan seemed to have had enough of her, "Have you had your fill?"

"I'm just curious." Seraphina replied, "It's interesting that Leandro has such a big son."

"Interesting?" Karan asked her, "You find it interesting, or does it make you uncomfortable?"

Feigning surprise, Seraphina looked at Karan, "Karan, why would you think that of me?"

Karan scoffed, "You know best."

Seraphina sighed, "Karan, if you keep talking about me like this, I won't be able to eat."

With that, she put down her cutlery and focused entirely on Valerio, then suddenly asked, "Who's your mom?"

Valerio lifted his head abruptly and gave her a look, his gaze was as calm as before and he didn't answer Seraphina's question. Karan was already angry and put down her cutlery, grabbed Seraphina and was about to push her out, "Go, go, go! We don't need you here! You're still the same old Seraphina from seven years ago!"

As she spoke, she dragged Seraphina to the front door, opened it and shoved her out. The shove sent Seraphina straight into the arms of the person outside.

Seraphina caught a whiff of a familiar scent of mint mixed with tobacco. She looked up slightly and saw Leandro. He was dressed in a light camel-colored cashmere sweater, looking comfortable but still emanating a strong aura.

Seraphina was in his arms, he looked down at her, his deep gaze unflinching. Seraphina started laughing at the sight of him. Despite not wearing makeup, her eyes were still sparkling, filled with emotion.

Leandro's hand suddenly rested on her waist.
