Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 6

Seraphina smiled and didn’t seem to care about the people around her, just looking intently at Ike. At first, Ike was somewhat cautious, but seeing Leandro engrossed in conversation with Ira, he gradually relaxed and began to toast Seraphina continuously.
