Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 368

Why on earth did Bowen set up this trap to keep her from heading back to Sunburst City?

This means, Bowen reckons that if she doesn’t go back to Sunburst City, it might do some harm to Leandro.

But Bowen is clueless about Gloria’s situation, and he doesn’t know that her not returning might actually be the best

thing for Leandro.

So, Bowen just went ahead and tried to make her stay in Velvetwood.

However, what Leandro thinks about this, Seraphina had no idea.

There hadn’t been any extra conversation between them, they were both avoiding the issue.

They were afraid that if they said too much, they might touch upon topics they were both too scared to bring up.

Like right now.

Seraphina knew he was stuck between a rock and a hard place, but she still couldn’t help but bring it up..

Seraphina thought that Leandro might not answer, but Leandro’s voice still clearly reached her ears.

“I hope you come back.” he said.

Seraphina, holding her phone, stayed silent for a long time.

She had been in Velvetwood for a while, and she had been patient enough not to converse too much with him, not

to bring up those awkward topics.

But maybe seeing that figure who looked like Sandra today made her emotions waver a bit, or maybe the deep

silence of the night made her a bit bored, and she suddenly lost control..

After asking, Seraphina wasn’t quite sure how to continue the conversation.

But then, Leandro, on the other end of the phone, spoke again, “A few days ago, I saw Bowen at a party.”

“Uh-huh.” Seraphina finally responded.

Leandro paused for a moment, then said, “I told the Martins about him and Sandra.

This was unexpected for Seraphina, mainly because Leandro didn’t seem to be the type to do this.

It was hard to imagine that a man as proud and cold as him would do such a thing

Seraphina let out a chuckle, “I wish I could have been there. What was the Martins’ reaction?”

“Bowen’s future father-in-law didn’t seem to get it.” Leandro said, “But Simon and Lionel should have. They’re both

smart guys, so they had to keep their cool on the surface, didn’t have any big reaction. But you could tell they didn’t

know about this before.”

After hearing this, Seraphina let out a sigh.

When Sandra had her incident, she had two guesses – the culprit was either someone from the Martin family or it

was Bowen.

Later on, although she had somewhat figured out that Bowen was the mastermind, it was just her own speculation.

Now, according to Leandro’s observation, the Martin family didn’t know about Sandra and Bowen’s relationship

before, so the Martin family wouldn’t have any motive to harm Sandra.

This means, the real culprit must be Bowen.

Even though she had known this for a long time, having it confirmed again still sent chills down her spine.

What pissed her off the most was that Bowen shamelessly used Sandra’s death to attack her!

Seraphina closed her eyes and took a deep breath before continuing, “Why would he think my staying in

Velvetwood would benefit him?”

Leandro looked at Seraphina’s figure on the big screen and took a moment to respond.

Why would Bowen think that?

It might have something to do with that dinner party.

He knew that Leandro and Seraphina were in different places, he knew Leandro missed her, so he tried to make

her stay in Velvetwood, so he could stir up trouble between Leandro and her.

“Because he thinks, if you’re not by my side, I’ll be distracted.” Leandro said, “This would affect my judgement, my

actions and my decisions.”

Seraphina chuckled after hearing this, “Well, he miscalculated then.”

“He didn’t.”

Leandro’s calm voice reached Seraphina’s ears, she lowered her eyes and didn’t respond.

“You’re not here, tem distracted.” Leandro repeated, giving her a clear answer.

Seraphina remained silent for a while, then she just lay quietly on the couch.

After a while, she spoke again, “You know what it means if I go back, right?” After she said this, they both fell into

silence.

But before the silence could shatter, a voice came from upstairs, “Sera…”

Seraphina was startled, she quickly hung up the phone, then sat up and replied, “I’m here.”

Andrea came downstairs when she heard the voice, “Didn’t you say you were going to bed early? Why are you here

drinking?”

“I suddenly woke up.” Seraphina said, “What about you? You haven’t rested since you got off the plane, I thought

you’d sleep till noming and adjust to the time

zone.

I have a stomach-ache. Andrea said, “I need some stomach medicine.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina got up to find the medicine, “Maybe you’re still adapting to the environment here.”

“Maybe.” Andrea looked a bit embarrassed, “I came to visit you and ended up causing you trouble.”

Seraphina she gave her a stare, “Stop talking nonsense.”

She searched around but couldn’t find any stomach medicine, so she rang the bell to call the butler.

The butler was very well-prepared, the stomach medicine was delivered quickly. Seraphina watched as Andrea

swallowed the medicine, her mind finally at ease.

Just as she was about to turn off the lights and head upstairs with Andrea, Seraphina remembered that she’d left

her phone behind. So, she went over to the couch

and found it.

She had hung up on a call that was still going on, not because she didn’t want to hear Leandro’s response but

rather because she thought, “Ah, never mind.”

He’d already said so much tonight, was his answer really that important?

As she thought this and checked her phone, she saw two text messages.

The first one -“I know.”

The second one -“Just come back.”

Seeing these two messages, Seraphina’s first instinct was to look at the webcam on her computer. But as she was

about to turn her head, she stopped herself.

Holding her phone, she quietly climbed the stairs, hooking arms with Andrea as they ascended.

Andrea picked up on something. “What’s up? Who texted you?”

Not until they reached the second floor did Seraphina slowly respond, “Leandro.”-

“And why the long face?” Andrea asked. “Aren’t you always calm when it comes to him?”

Hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle, then slowly said, “I found out a secret. If I keep it to myself, it’ll

eat me up inside. But if I spill the beans, it’ll hurt him. How am I supposed to play it cool?”

After hearing this, Andrea remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, “You’re considering his feelings.”

Seraphina smiled again, “But I can’t always put him first.”

“But you still came to Velvetwood,” Andrea said. “In a way, you’ve already put him first.”
