Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 423

“What do you mean you don’t care if the Reynolds family falls apart?” Nanette immediately frowned, “What are

you playing at, Seraphina? Did the Reynolds family ever wrong you?”

“The Reynolds family didn’t wrong me,” Seraphina replied, “But if someone in the Reynolds family breaks the law,

they should face legal consequences,”

“Break the law?” Nanette retorted, “Accidentally hurting your son is breaking the law now? Do you think your son is

some sort of precious gem?”

“Aunt Nanette,” Seraphina suddenly addressed her, “You have kids too. The value you place on your son is the

same value I place on mine. Oh no, wait. My son Valerio, being the eldest legitimate grandson of the Reynolds

family, is far more precious than your son, who is not of Reynolds blood!”

“What did you say?” Nanette was so infuriated by Seraphina’s words that she was almost choking, “Who do you

think you are to speak to me in such a manner! Magdalen was an orphan the Reynolds family adopted! And you’re

nothing more than the result of her eloping with someone! Do you really think giving birth to Valerio can…” Nanette

stopped mid-sentence, suddenly locking eyes with Leandro.

Leandro was generally a reserved man, but he maintained a polite demeanor towards his elders. However, at this

moment, his gaze was icy cold, a profound darkness that was unbearable to look at. Even though he didn’t say a

word, it was clear that Nanette’s words had angered him.

Nanette was usually fearless, but she felt a shiver of fear at Leandro’s expression.

Seeing this, Leonard stepped in and pulled Nanette behind him, then spoke, “Sera, I understand that you’re upset

and worried about Valerio’s injury. But you didn’t consider the full picture in this situation. Reporting this to the

police is a big deal, why didn’t you discuss it with us first? Leandro, are you so blinded by your wife and son that you

don’t care about your own mother anymore?”

“Leonard, you really don’t need to blame Leandro for this,” Seraphina cut in before Leandro could respond, “He’s

done much more for his mother than you could ever imagine,”

Leandro looked at Seraphina, his gaze deep. But Seraphina didn’t look at him, instead continuing, “Reporting this to

the police was my idea. If you want to see this incident as a confrontation with the Reynolds family, that’s your

choice. To get justice for my son, I’m willing to do anything. Likewise, you can do your utmost to protect the people

of the Reynolds family and its reputation. The one that’s on the opposing side, is only me.”

After finishing her statement, Seraphina glanced at Leandro, then without waiting for anyone to respond, she

returned to the hospital room and closed

the door.

“You all should go,” Conway finally spoke up, “In this matter, Sera’s actions are not up for criticism, and Leandro will

find a way to protect Gloria. You don’t -need to worry about anything else.”

“Seraphina is clearly trying to put the blame on my sister,” Billy commented, “And Leandro wants to protect his

mother. Won’t this put them at odds from now on?”

Leandro stood with his back to everyone, his figure stern and silent.

Hearing this, Conway couldn’t help but tap his cane heavily, “Did you even listen to what I said?”

Seeing Conway getting angry, Leonard quickly tried to pacify him, “Dad, don’t be angry. We’re just worried about

my sister, that’s all.”

“You can worry all you want,” Conway replied, “But there’s one thing – from now on, you’re not allowed to cause

any trouble in front of Sera and Valerio!”

Conway asserted his authority as the family patriarch, and his children fell silent. Soon, they all left one by one.

Once they were gone, Conway turned to look at Leandro, “You heard what Sera said… she still cares about you.”

Leandro remained silent. He had, of course, heard what Seraphina had said, and he understood the implications.

She had told Leonard and the others that they were free to do whatever they could to protect the Reynolds family

and its reputation. Those words were meant for him.

She was firm in her stance, but she understood his position. However, could two people walking in opposite

directions ever find their way back to each

other?

After a long silence, Leandro finally turned around and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry about us. You should go home

and rest.”

Hearing this, Conway slowly nodded, “Alright, you and Sera… you should have a good talk with her.”

When Leandro returned to the hospital room, Seraphina was already sitting on the bed, holding Valerio in her arms

and watching a video with him.

To keep Valerio entertained, Seraphina explained the video content in the most playful way she could, but Valerio

didn’t seem very interested.

Fortunately, Leandro’s driver soon brought back some food that Valerio wanted, and Seraphina was once again

busy helping Valerio eat.

Valerio was hungry, but the shock of the previous incidents hadn’t worn off, and he didn’t have much of an

appetite. He managed to eat a few small snacks, but then he couldn’t eat anymore.

“Do you want to eat a bit more?” Seraphina asked him cautiously, “Or do you want something else? I can get

anything for you.”

Valerio lowered his eyes and gently shook his head.

“He’s not hungry now, let him be.” Leandro said, “I’ve asked the nanny to prepare a pot of chicken soup, it’ll be

delivered to the hospital later. It’s easier on his stomach.”

Upon hearing this, Seraphina simply responded, “That’ll be good.”

There was still food left on the table that Leandro had specifically bought for her. He glanced at it and said, “You

haven’t eaten much today, have some food. How else will you have the energy to take care of Valerio?”

Seraphina slowly looked up at him, then turned her gaze back to Valerio, who was quietly observing both Seraphina

and Leandro.

Seraphina quickly picked up her fork and started eating. After taking a bite, she immediately got some and held it

up to Leandro’s mouth, “And what about you? Have you eaten yet? Aren’t you hungry?”

Leandro looked at her, his voice deep, “I am hungry now.” Having said that, he opened his mouth and accepted the

food Seraphina offered.

Seraphina hummed in response, and continued to serve him more food. Leandro accepted each bite.

This was an intimacy that had not previously existed between them, yet it unfolded naturally in this moment.

Leandro knew clearly that she was doing this to cheer up Valerio.

Sure enough, seeing the two of them interacting in this way brought a faint smile to Valerio’s face.

Watching Seraphina feeding Leandro, Valerio seemed to regain his appetite. He moved closer, wanting Seraphina

to feed him as well.

Seeing Valerio’s reaction, a genuine smile finally appeared on Seraphina’s face.
