Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 68

Chapter 68
Seraphina was dining alone with ten elders of the Reynolds family.
Seven years ago, she might have been too scared to even sit at the table in such a situation, but today, she was eating quite comfortably.
Apart from Bruce, everyone else also talked to her, albeit a bit stiffly, and the topics were all trivial.
But Gloria was the only one who didn’t say a word throughout the meal, just quietly eating her food, not even bothering to glance more than once at Seraphina.
But Seraphina didn’t mind, she was happily eating and chatting on her own.
After dinner, Bruce directly invited Seraphina to stay over.
“We’ve always had a room prepared for you at home. Now that you’re back, you should stay,” Bruce said. “The house is spa c ious and comfortable. Why would you want to stay out?”
Bruce always treated her like family, and Seraphina felt his words were sincere, even though she wasn’t entirely sure if they were all true.
“No, I’m good living outside. This place is too big. I’m afraid I’ll get lost, Seraphina said.
“Getting lost in your own house?” Bruce said, “You’ll have to move back sooner or later.”
Was he seriously treating her as Leandro’s fiancée? Seraphina couldn’t help but want to laugh, “Who says I have to move in? I don’t want
to.”
As soon as she said this, everyone in the room had their own interpretations, and some started to worry.
“Given your relationship with Leandro, isn’t it normal for you to move back?” Leonard Reynolds, the third son of the Reynolds family,

said.
“What relationship do I have with him?” Seraphina laughed, “I can’t afford to aim that high.”
Upon hearing this, Billy Reynolds, the fourth son of the Reynolds family, said: “You grew up in the Reynolds family. It would be good for you to move back and spend more time with grandpa. He’s missed you all these years you’ve been away.”
His implication was that she should listen to the elders of the Reynolds family, and stop causing trouble for them.
Seraphina just laughed and didn’t respond.
Gloria had been watching with cold eyes, and just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the hall. Everyone turned to see Leandro walking in from outside.
Upon seeing him, everyone relaxed a bit.
“Oh, this is quite a surprise!” A younger aunt immediately went up to him with a smile, “Leandro, I haven’t seen you in a long time. What a coincidence today. Look at you, why are you so thin? Don’t work too hard, rest more.”
Leandro nodded in acknowledgment and went up to greet the elders.
Gloria, who had been expressionless all night, now looked slightly warmer, “What brings you home today? Have you eaten yet?”
“I ate nearby” Leandro was still cold as ever, “Just thought I’d stop by.”
“You came back at the perfect time.” Bruce said, “Seraphina was about to leave. You should take her home and spend some time with her.”
The moment he finished speaking, Seraphina saw Gloria’s face darken and she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
But if she let Leandro take her home, wouldn’t that be like walking into a trap?
“I’m not going back.” Seraphina said, “If Bruce wants me to stay, then I’ll stay! Where’s my room?”
Bruce then laughed, “I’ll have someone show you.”
*Alright.” Seraphina stood up and followed a ser vant to the second floor.
As Seraphina’s figure disappeared up the stairs, Leonard finally turned to Leandro, “Leandro, I don’t mean to criticize you, but you really let your guard down this time. It’s clear that she’s using you. I never thought she’d become this tricky. What is she trying to do?”
“Do what?” an aunt chimed in, “Isn’t she just hoping against hope that she can still have a relationship with Leandro and use it as a way to enter our Reynolds family? Now that she thinks she has some power, she’s acting all high and mighty in front of us! Once this period passes, we’ll see if she can still be so smug!”
Bruce frowned at this, “Enough! I was the one who asked her lo come back and stay!”
The Reynolds siblings looked at Bruce, and in the end, they were overpowered by his authority and did not say anything more. Only the aunt kept muttering. “Everyone knows why you’re partial towards her…”
Bruce glared at her, and she finally shut up for good.
Gloria’s face turned ashen due to these words. Just when she was about to blow up, Leandro stood up. “I’m going back first.”
Seeing this, Gloria quickly stood up to stop him, “It’s rare for you to come back, stay at home tonight. Don’t go back and forth, won’t you
be tired?”
