Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 9

Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle. It had been years since she’d been turned down by a man. But, since this man was Leandro, she had seen this coming.

Leandro slowly said, “You don’t owe me anything. Now that you’re sober, Ms. Bennett, you can leave.”

His hint for her to leave was too obvious, but Seraphina didn’t feel awkward. Instead, she comfortably sat on the sofa, “I can’t find my purse, Mr. Reynolds, have you seen it?”

Leandro looked at Karan, “Karan, check the car for Ms. Bennett’s purse.”

Karan shot Seraphina a glance, then got up and walked out.

Seraphina gave Karan a smile, then glanced at Valerio, who was happily eating at the dining table, then said, “I haven’t seen you for years, Mr. Reynolds. Your son is so big now, should I congratulate you!”

Leandro finally put down what he was holding, looked up at her, his eyes deep, “Thanks.”

Seraphina looked at him, slowly wiped the smile off her face, and changed to a comfortable position on the sofa, “Never mind, I know you don’t like me, I’ll just grab my purse and go, don’t want to be a sore sight.”

Karan had already brought back Seraphina’s purse and tossed it onto the sofa where Seraphina was sitting. Seraphina sighed, picked up her purse, and took out her cell phone.
