Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 85

Leandro wasn't stingy with his words, he told her, "I know more than you do."

Seraphina bit her lip lightly, sat up to look at him, and asked in a hushed tone, "So, what is it that you know more than me?"

Leandro turned his head to look at her, his gaze deep and indifferent.

Was he implying he had no reason to tell her?

"We've slept together, you know!" Seraphina reached out her hand, lightly pulling at his tie, "What's the harm in telling me?"

Leandro pulled his tie back, looking at Seraphina, "Spending a night with you, wasn't that my loss?"

On hearing this, Seraphina couldn't help but laugh.

These were the words she had intentionally said to him when she called him afterward, who knew he'd use it against her now?

"I was just teasing you then, after all, I never thought you'd take a bullet for me!" Seraphina moved closer to Leandro, looking up at him, "So, what were you thinking when you risked your life to save me?"

Her eyes were bright and lively, as if she was truly expecting him to say something touching.

Leandro looked at her calmly, "I didn't think much when taking the bullet, saving you was just to protect myself."

Seraphina held his gaze silently for a moment, confirming that Leandro was telling the truth.

Regardless of what he had in mind when he stood in front of Balch's room that night, he hadn't expected Fidelia to have a gun, and she just happened to jump out of the window and run into him. When Fidelia started shooting, he shielded her and also protected himself.

If it were any other situation, she'd probably be crying tears of gratitude if he didn't push her away when she was in danger.

Seraphina sighed, "Mr. Reynolds, you saved my life and you don't want anything in return, this makes me feel very guilty."

"I don't need your repayment." Leandro said.

"I was thinking of offering myself to you, Mr. Reynolds, are you really dismissing the idea?"

After hearing her, Leandro gave her a look, "Balch also took a knife for you, but all you can think of is how to prove that he is related to his wife’s death."

Finally, he brought up this topic!

Seraphina let out a sigh of relief, and started to laugh.

Even though she guessed his understanding of her intention from his words and actions, Leandro never directly admitted it. Now they could finally discuss the matter directly.

"If you think what I'm doing is wrong, feel free to expose me." Sitting cross-legged in the spacious back seat, Seraphina looked fearless.

Leandro averted his gaze, "Whether you're right or wrong is none of my business."

"But you ruined my plan." Seraphina looked at him, "If it wasn't for your cop friend that night, things wouldn't have escalated to this point, and I might have found the truth by now."

"True." Leandro glanced at her sarcastically, "The death of a woman with a bad reputation in social circles is indeed much simpler than the death of a popular star."

Seraphina chuckled, "I've always said that I'm not afraid of death. I was fully prepared, and even if I die, the truth will come out."

"So, you want an apology from me?"

"No, of course not." Seeing Leandro's face getting colder, Seraphina quickly laughed, "I just want to know, how did you find out about Balch and his wife's death?"

After hearing this, Leandro calmly closed his eyes and looked out the window.
