Tangled in His Obsession - Season 1 Episode 39

Leandro got home, went straight upstairs, and stopped outside Valerio’s room

He pushed open the door to find Valerio peacefully sleeping in his bed

Leandro stepped in, sat by the bed, and quietly stared at Valeno s face for quite some time.

When noises came from downstairs. Leandro turned his head, tuning in.

Footsteps grew louder as they neared, and soon, Karan appeared at the door.

Upon seeing him, a surprised Karan said, “Oh, you’re home?”

Leandro stood up, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

“Why are you back?” Leandro asked

‘I got a call from Seraphina. She said she can’t take care of Valerio tonight, so she asked me to come back and look after him,” Karan said, somewhat annoyed “I knew I couldn’t count on her

Leandro went downstairs, and after a brief moment of hesitation, Karan followed him

“I heard from my daughter about you and Seraphina: The whole thing is blowing up online. Everyone knows about it, right?” Karan asked.

Leandro showed no reaction to this “You know about it too,” he replied.

“So what if I know?” Karan said, adding “Your mom even called me today to ask if I knew about your situation.”

“What did you tell her?”

Karan shot him a look and said, “What could I possibly tell her? How much of your business would I know? I really can’t figure out what you’re playing at with that girl! You know your mom doesn’t like Seraphina, you should try to upset her less! Hasn’t she suffered enough these past few years?”

Leandro replied emotionlessly. “Don’t worry”

Balch drove Seraphina home. After parking the car, he turned to Seraphina, “I’ll walk you up.”

Seraphina smiled, “No need”

She opened the door to get out, but stopped as soon as she stepped out.

A car was parked under her apartment building. As soon as Seraphina got out, the car door opened, and Peterson stepped out.

Seraphina stood still, waiting for Peterson to come over

Peterson glanced at Balch in the car behind her, then took Seraphina’s hand and led her towards his car.

Seraphina allowed him to lead her a few steps, then calmly said, “Peterson, let go of me.”

“I’ll drive you back to Starhaven, Peterson directly said.

Seraphina couldn’t break free and was dragged to his car. She gripped the car door, refusing to get in, but Peterson, being stronger, almost forced her inside. That’s when Balch grabbed hold of the car door.

Peterson looked at Balach, “Mr. Lawson, this is between my girlfriend and me, you don’t need to interfere.”

“I don’t care what your relationship is with her,” Balch said, “She’s my friend.”

Seraphina leaned against the car door and laughed when she heard these words

Peterson turned to look at Seraphina, his eyes filled with anger, “Have you had your fun?”

Seraphina looked at him, blinked in surprise, and then laughed out loud, “Peterson, you can’t seriously think that I did all this just to piss you off, can you?

“I know I messed up!” Peterson gripped her hand tightly, “Sera, give me a year. In a year, I’ll come to find you, and we can start over!”

Seraphina forcefully pulled her hand away and looked at Peterson with almost pitying eyes, “Why should I give you my time?”
