Tangled in His Obsession (Seraphina)

Chapter 209

On the last day of his wedding leave, Leandro finally found time to throw a party for his friends who

supported him at his wedding.

Upon hearing the news of the party, Seraphina, who had been bedridden for two days due to

gastroenteritis, immediately sprang to life. She grabbed Leandros arm and said, “What’s the point of

you guys sitting around chatting and drinking? I’ll find some hot chicks to spice things up!

Leandro didn’t react much to her suggestion.

Though unfamiliar with many in Sunburst City, she had a select few acquaintances. While Leandro

wasn’t particularly fond of mingling with unfamiliar faces, he didn’t protest her plans

However, as they entered “Enchanted Petals Club, Leandro quickly realized he had misjudged the

extent of Seraphina’s connections. Among the invitees were Una and her entertainment industry

colleagues, as well as gallery directors, fashion stylists, wedding coordinators, and even Conway’s

former nurse. The only expected face missing was Sandra’s

What Leandro had envisioned as an intimate meetup had been transformed by Seraphina into a grand

celebration. In truth, his intention for this gathering was to express gratitude to those who had

supported their wedding, turning it into a post-wedding festivity. So, in essence, the larger, vibrant affair

was fitting

However, facing a room full of people, Leandro wasn’t in the best of moods, just chatting and drinking

with Victor in a corner.

Seraphina, who hadn’t attended such a gathering in a long time, was in high spirits and skillfully got

everyone in the party mood.

Herman arrived late, walked in to see Edgar and Hal having a blast among a group of women, went

pale, then quickly made his way over to Leandro and Victor upon spotting them in the corner.

“What’s going on here? Herman asked, “I thought it was just going to be us guys!”

Leandro took a drag of his cigarette but didn’t answer

Victor glanced at Seraphina in the crowd and chuckled, “What can you do? Seraphina loves a good

party, and Leandro lets her have her way.”

At this, Herman Inoked at Seraphina in the crowd and frowned slightly

In the middle of the conversation, Hal managed to escape the crowd and came back, took a big gulp of

wine from the table, then finally let out a sigh of relief. “Leandro, your wife sure knows how to party.

Even Edgar can’t keep up with her.”

Upon hearing this, Leandro also looked at Seraphina in the crowd

She was the center of attention, playing drinking games with Edgar, all smiles, Edgar was no match for

her.

“Who would’ve thought he’d end up marrying someone like her Victor laughed. The guy who loves

peace and quiet the most, marrying the woman who

loves to party the most.”

That’s a pretty good match, a balance.” Hal said, “I like your wife’s spirit, you should bring her out more

often!”

After saying that, he went back to the lively crowd to join in the fun.

Victor then looked back at Leandro, “You probably didn’t expect her to turn out this way, did you?”

“No matter what, she’s still her.” Leandro gently knocked off the ash from his cigarette and answered

nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Victor chuckled, “As long as you’re not bound by the past. Let bygones be bygones.”

Leandro, on hearing this, turned to look at him but didn’t say anything.

Herman, who had rushed over straight from work, was starving. He quickly ate something, then looked

up at the two and asked, “What past are you guys talking about?’

Victor looked at him with a fond expression, like looking at a child who never grows up, and only said:

“Just eat your food””

Herman gave him a glare, then remembered something and asked Leandro, “About her kidnapping, do

you have any new leads?

Upon hearing this, Leandro’s expression became slightly heavier, “No.”

“It’s really weird,”Herman said, “Who would want to test your relationship?”

“In all these years, he’s been working hard in the business world, he’s upset a lot of people. Victor said,

“Knowing such people exist, it’s best to be on guard. Even if you investigate one by one, you won’t find

anything, after all, you’re in the open and they’re hiding in the dark.”

Upon hearing this, Leandro said slowly, “1 certainly won’t bother with people I can’t see”

Herman nodded slightly at this, then looked up and suddenly met eyes with Seraphina in the crowd.

He immediately fell nervous, and sure enough, Seraphina walked over from the lively crowd.

“Herman, why are you so late?” Sitting next to Leandro, Seraphina asked straight away. “Where’s my

good friend?”

Herman chuckled awkwardly. “She’s your friend, why are you asking me?”

“You two were on a date.” Seraphina replied, “I can’t find her, so of course I have to ask you.”

At this, both Leandro and Victor turned to look at Herman.

Heiman spread his hands in resignation, “Does having a meal together count as a date?”

Since Seraphina had made a big effort to have him and Sandra get to know each other before the

wedding, out of politeness, he had driven Sandra home

on the wedding day The next day, Sandra invited him to dinner to thank him, and he accepted.

“Now she’s disappeared after having dinner with you. Seraphina said, “Who else am I supposed to

ask?”

Recalling the events of that day, Herman paused, then smiled. As her best friend, you should know

who to ask, right?”

Seraphina instantly picked up on something from Herman’s words, What happened on the day you two

had dinner?”

“Nothing much.” Herman leaned back on the couch and said, “Just as we finished eating, a man

showed up and took her away”

After hearing this, Seraphina had a hunch but still asked, Didn’t you try to stop him?”

“She claimed that was her brother, who am I to stop her? Herman retorted.

Seraphina and Herman locked eyes silently for a moment. Herman didn’t look away, even cracked a

small smile at her, a hint of comfort hidden within.

Indeed, as a cop. Herman couldn’t possibly be oblivious to his surroundings.

But that wasn’t the situation Seraphina hoped for

She felt a pang of discomfort and reached for a glass of wine subconsciously.

Just as she was about to take a sip, she heard Leandro’s icy voice, Dare to take another sip!”

Seraphina looked at him with wide-eyed innocence I just wanted a sip.”

Without changing his demeanor, Leandro replied, “Go ahead. The cold undertone in his words made

the room tense Victor and Herman quickly averted their gaze

With a hint of resignation, Seraphina offered the wine glass to him. Then you drink it

To everyone’s surprise, Leandro accepted the glass, emptying its contents in a single swallow. Before

he could set the glass down, Seraphina impulsively pressed her lips to his. The room fell silent, all eyes

transfixed on the unexpected display

Pulling away, she playfully chastised him, “Leandro, you’re well aware I have gastritis, yet you’d let me

drink? What’s your angle?”

The room remained stunned into silence.

After a brief silence. Leandro stood up pulling Seraphina with him Surprised, she asked, “What are you

doing?”

I’m giving you a chance to punish me Leandro calmly replied, then took Seraphina and walked out.

Everyone in the room clearly heard his words, and cries of surprise broke out

But amidst the screams, Seraphina was already being pulled away by Leandro

Herman was somewhat stunned, and after a couple of chuckles, Victor sighed, “Well, this isnt bad”

“What’s not bad?” Herman asked

“Seraphina’s personality changed, as did Leandro’s,” Victor said, “having her around can at least make

Leandro a bit more normal.”

Seraphina was laughing all the way as Leandro pulled her towards the ext

Leandro, we’re the hosts of the party today we can’t just leave, can we?”

“Leandro, it’s rude to leave like this!”

“Leandro, everyone will know what we’re up to if we leave like this, dont you feel embarrassed?”

She grumbled along the way. Upon hearing the last sentence, Leandro finally stopped, turned around

and looked at her

Before Seraphina could say anything, he bent down and kissed her.

This was a public corridor, with various private rooms on the side. Although there were no other guests

in the corridor, each room’s entrance was manned by a server, with a manager trailing behind them –

The situation seemed a bit over the top.

But Seraphina didnt mind the exaggeration Instead, she wrapped her arms around Leandros neck and

passionately kissed him back.

After a while, Leandro finally let her go, looked at her and asked. “Still feel embarrassed?”

Seraphina savoured the wine tasting kiss and smiled beautifully. “Let’s go home?”

Leandro then took her hand and continued walking Just as they turned a corner, they ran into a few

people.

The man walking in front was clearly a VIP with everyone else standing slightly behind him, and a

manager attending to hmm.

Seraphina gave him a brief look. He appeared to be in has mid thirties, poised with a perpetual smile

and a hint of mischief on his eyes. She quickly realized side recognize tim

Yet upon spotting Leandro, the man approached and greeted with a reserved smile. Leandro, it’s been
