Tangled in His Obsession - Season 2 Episode 43

After leaving Magdalen’s hotel, Seraphina returned to Velvetwood. By the time she got back to her apartment, it was already the middle of the night. She quickly dug out an old SIM card to get her phone back in action. The next morning, Seraphina was woken up by a call from Cooper. “Seraphina” Cooper sounded relieved, “Finally, your phone is back on!” Seraphina knew why he was looking for her, so she set up a lunch date with him. Before meeting Cooper, she swung by the news agency. Leandro had left Starhaven, and she had to go find him in Sunburst City. This meant putting her current case on hold and passing it off to a colleague. She handed over all the case documents to the colleague who had helped her when she first started working, officially transferring the case She also filed for an unpaid leave. Next, she rang up the bar in Everlandia to quit her job. Then, she went to meet Cooper. By the time she got to the restaurant, Cooper was already waiting for her. “You’re here early.” Seraphina said as she sat down. “Had nothing better to do, so I thought I’d come over and wait for you,” Cooper said, studying her face for a moment before he spoke again, “Seraphina, about your mum…” Seraphina cut him off with a smile, “This must be satisfying news for a lot of people, huh?” After all, Magdalen’s actions had long since pis sed off a lot of people. Ignoring her comment, Cooper asked, “There’s something going on with the Reynolds Group, isn’t there?” While munching on some fruit, Seraphina replied, “Yes. The whole thing was initially meant for me, not her.” “Leandro?” She nodded

Cooper fell silent, a furrow appearing on his brow “What’s with the long face?” Seraphina laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.” “Let me help you, Cooper suddenly said. Seraphina was taken aback, “What?” Cooper looked at her, his gaze resolute, “Seraphina, you shouldn’t have to deal with this. I can’t stand watching you go through this. I can protect you… He reached out and gently took her hand. Looking at their intertwined hands, Seraphina fell silent for a moment before smiling. “Cooper, I appreciate your kindness. But the issues between Leandro and me aren’t that simple,” she said, “I have to face it myself.” Cooper fell silent again After all these years, he finally had the chance to express his feelings, only to be rejected. Luckily, he had men tally prepared for this scenario countless times. He quickly managed a small smile, withdrew his hand, and said, “Alright, just let me know if you ever need my help.” Seraphina looked at him, smiling, “Of course.” Two days later, Seraphina returned to Sunburst City. Her plane landed at five in the afternoon, and she was stuck in traffic all the way to the city. It was past eight when she finally arrived at the Reynolds Group building She called Keen as soon as she got out of the taxi, When Keen picked up, sounding both surprised and resigned, his tone screamed-I knew this was going to happen, why did you still do it? “Mr. Reynolds is tied up with some matters and will probably be busy till late,” Keen said, “He probably won’t be returning to the office today, so there’s no need for you to wait there.” “Alright “Seraphina responded, “So, can I wait for him at his place?” With that, she hung up, hopped back into a cab, and headed for Urban Oasis. But when she reached the entrance of the residential area, she was politely stopped by the security guard. noveldrama

Previously, Seraphina had always been greeted with a friendly smile from the guards. This was the first time such a thing had happened. “I’m sorry, Ms. Bennett.” The guard said, “Without the Mr. Reynolds’ permission, we can’t let you in” Seraphina was cooperative, “Alright, I’ll just wait outside then” If Leandro wanted to make her suffer, she’d let him So, Seraphina leaned against the exterior wall of the compound, sitting on her suitcase, quietly waiting for Leandro to return. She waited the entire night. But Leandro never showed up The next morning, when Karan was driving Valerio to school. Valerio suddenly bolted to the window and started knocking on it furiously. The driver was shocked and hit the brakes immediately Karan followed Valerio’s gaze and saw Seraphina Hearing the commotion, Seraphina looked up to meet Valerio’s eyes, filled with surprise and confusion. Karan sat next to Valerio, her gaze on Seraphina was full of helplessness. Seraphina stretched her stiff body, then walked over to the car window to pat Valerio’s head, “You’re off to school so early?” Valerio looked at her, his brows furrowing as if he was scolding her “What’s the matter?” Seraphina asked, “Aren’t you happy to see me back?” Valerio glanced at her, then lowered his head. “Fine then, I’m leaving Seraphina sighed, turning to walk away. As expected, Valerio lifted his head and grabbed her hand. Seraphina immediately broke into a smile, reaching out to pinch Valerio’s cheek, “I knew you wouldn’t bare to be cold to me.” Watching the two of them, Karan finally asked, “What are you doing here?” “I’m waiting for someone Seraphina replied, “But he didn’t show up. So I’m about to head to the Reynolds Group now. Can you give me a lift?”

Karan shot her a glance and didn’t refuse. In no time, the driver was out of the car, loading Seraphina’s luggage in the trunk. And, as if it was the most natural thing in the world, Seraphina settled herself in the car. All the way, she was chatting with Valerio, until they reached the front gate of Valerio’s school. Only then did she manage to cheer up this obviously upset little guy After Valerio was sent into school, the driver then restarted the car and headed towards the Reynolds Group. Only then did Karan start to ask, “What did you do?” “What are you talking about?” Seraphina replied with a laugh. Karan gave her a cold glance. “Ever since Leandro came back from Starhaven, he has been acting differently. Even though he didn’t show it, I’ve been taking care of him since he was little, so I know his mood swings like the back of my hand. You must have done something to pi ss him off.” Upon hearing this, Seraphina heaved a sigh, “Once Leandro is angry, the whole world blames me. I must be a big sinner!” “Seraphina!” Karan clearly didn’t have the patience to argue with her, “I’ve always noticed Leandro’s attitude towards you, why can’t you be more grateful?” Seraphina pouted, “I am grateful. I came back this time with the full intention of wholeheartedly committing to marrying him!”
