Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 279

Leandro didn’t say anything and was enjoying the moment.

Seraphina, tucked in his embrace, was flipping through a report she knew like the back of her hand, acting like she was hooked on it. She even searched for more articles once she finished one, even though every report was about the same and there wasn’t any useful info, she was still totally into it.

“Is it that interesting?” Leandro asked.

Seraphina looked back at him, “Of course.”

As she said that, the corners of her mouth curled up in a joyful expression.

It had been a while since she had genuinely smiled since the incident with Sandra.

“Are

you that happy?” Leandro asked slowly.

“Not really.” Seraphina said, “I will only be happy when they all get what they deserved.”

Leandro didn’t say anything after hearing that.

Seraphina finished reading another piece of article and suddenly looked back at him, “Why, do you think I’m cold-blooded and cruel?” Leandro silently locked eyes with her for a moment, then slowly said, “I don’t think so.”

Hearing that, Seraphina looked away, after a moment of silence, she laid more comfortably into his embrace, continuing to read the news on her tablet.

Leandro fully opened his arms to let her lean against him, her head resting on his chest, allowing him to smell the scent of her hair every time he lowered his head.

Just as Herman walked in, he caught them in this intimate position in the living room, with Leandro kissing Seraphina’s hair. Herman immediately felt awkward and didn’t know what to do, luckily, Leandro heard the noise and looked up to see him.

“Leandro.” Herman said awkwardly as he walked up, “Sorry, I’m late.”

“No worries.” Seraphina put down her tablet and looked behind him, “There’s someone who’s even more late than you, we can have a midnight snack together.”

Herman turned around and saw Terrell following him in.

“I don’t know how late our meeting will go.” Terrell said calmly to Seraphina, not overly polite, “I had to wait until my wife took her medication and went to sleep before I could come.”

“Okay.” Seraphina stood up, “There are not many men who cherish their wives these days, for the sake of your wife, I forgive you.”

Hearing her words, Leandro’s eyes deepened.

When everyone finally arrived, dinner began.

Seraphina hadn’t been hungry these past few days, but was particularly hungry today, she started to eat as soon as she sat down, then looked at Herman, “So, any leads on Mervin’s case?”

“There are many suspicions.” Herman said, “But without finding the car that hit him, nothing can be confirmed.”

“Is there a chance of finding it?”

Herman shrugged, “We can only confirm that it was a black car because of the paint on Mervin’s body. That road is a secluded suburban road, no cameras, and plenty of blind spots and intersections, it’s virtually impossible to investigate.”

After hearing this, Seraphina was silent for a while, then slowly said, “How ruthless. They used to at least create accidents to make the case seem flawless, but now they’re opting for this crude and direct method… seems like they’re really eager to silence someone.”

Herman then asked, “Any news on your end?”

Seraphina glanced at Terrell.

Terrell took a sip of his drink, then said, “I haven’t appeared directly in front of Maddox, just been tailing him. He’s usually very cautious and doesn’t make any moves, but today he was acting differently, he accidentally bumped into one of his students after class, he almost couldn’t control his emotions.”

Seems like he’s starting to get nervous.” Herman said, “In that case, he’s our breakthrough. What about that guy named Keeley?”

“As for him…” Seraphina sighed, “He doesn’t seem scared, on the contrary, he’s more angry at me. He told me clearly that he’s not afraid of death, and even if he dies, he won’t reveal any information to me.”

Hearing this, Terrell scoffed and said, “Why did you show him your true colors so early? That kid was so smitten with you, if you keep pretending that you don’t know much and continue seeing him, he might’ve confessed everything.”
