Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 426

Hearing Seraphina’s words, Leandro’s gaze fell on her face and lingered there.

Seraphina seemed to sense something. She looked up and met his gaze, chuckling lightly, “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?”

“I just think that there’s something else you want to say,” Leandro replied.

Seraphina paused for a moment, then she laughed again, “Is that how little faith you have in me? I finally show some concern for you and you are suspecting me.”

“If there’s really nothing else, then I accept it,” Leandro said and pulled her back into his arms, holding her tightly.

Seraphina was taken aback for a moment, then obediently leaned against his shoulder.

The dawn was still a ways off and the sky was dark. The two of them, who had not slept all night, leaned against each other in silence.

After a while, realizing that Leandro was just resting his eyes and not actually asleep, Seraphina spoke again in a low voice, “Valerio made a sound yesterday…”

Leandro heard this and slowly opened his eyes, looking at Valerio who was lying on the hospital bed, and responded with a low hum.

“I originally wanted to try and test him yesterday,” Seraphina continued, still leaning against his shoulder, “but I was afraid he would remember the incident, so I didn’t say anything.”

Hearing this, Leandro was silent for a moment before saying, “He has been practicing a lot to be able to call you ‘mom’. By now, he should be able to make a sound.”

At this, Seraphina paused, then lifted her head to look at the small figure lying on the bed.

As if sensing their gazes, Valerio moved slightly on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. The moment he woke up, he started looking for Seraphina. Upon seeing Leandro and Seraphina sitting on the couch, he rubbed his eyes, looked confused for a moment, then began to smile.

The sight of his smile warmed Seraphina’s heart.
