Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 395

Chapter 395

Valerio’s bedroom was quiet, the only illumination coming from a small bedside lamp casting a soft glow on Seraphina’s slumbering face.

Leandro stood in the doorway, momentarily stunned as he took in the sight. It had been so long since he had last seen her sleep peacefully.

Quietly, he made his way to the bed and settled himself on the edge.

As soon as he sat down, Seraphina moved, her eyes fluttering open.

At the sight of him, her expression was dazed, slowly giving way to clarity. Yet she remained in bed, lazily mumbling, “Oh, it’s you…”

Her tone was languid, devoid of any emotion, yet for some reason, Leandro found himself asking, “Disappointed?”

Seraphina glanced at him, still half-asleep, before muttering, “What’s there to be disappointed about? I saw it coming.”

“What did you see coming?”

“Your son,” she replied. “He’s been acting strange lately. I knew he was up to something, that little rascal.”

Leandro paused before responding, “And you didn’t stop him?”

“I didn’t have the energy, Seraphina confessed, burrowing deeper into the covers. “Leandro, do you know how exhausting it is to look after a child all day?

I thought I had plenty of energy, but compared to him, I feel old… I can’t keep up…”.

With a yawn, she closed her eyes once more, appearing ready to return to sleep.

Leandro remained seated on the bed, silently watching her for a while.

It was a long time before Seraphina moved again, her eyes remaining closed as if she had fallen back asleep.

Leandro finally stood up, his hand gently brushing her hair away from her face before he turned to leave.
