Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 29

Valerio looked at her with innocent, clear eyes. Seraphina knew she couldn’t get any answers from him and had to accept this sudden arrangement. “Alright, it’s getting late and you have school tomorrow, Seraphina said as she patted Valerio’s head. “Go take a bath and get ready for bed.”

As soon as she finished speaking. Valerio’s stomach growled.

Seraphina squinted her eyes, You’re following me just because you want to get some good grub, aren’t you?”

Valerio just looked at her quietly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Turns out she had attracted a little foodie.

Seraphina sighed and picked up her phone to order takeout for him.

By the time Valerio had eaten his fill and taken a bath, it was already midnight.

Tll share half of this bed with you, but you can only sleep on your side. If you dare to cross over and touch me, I’ll kick you off the bed, got it?” Seraphina half–heartedly threatened Valerio, then proceeded to pat his head gently. “Now close your eyes and go to sleep.” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Valerio obediently closed his eyes.

Seraphina went back to the couch and opened her laptop, still dealing with the same headache– inducing recording.

She put on her headphones, and Leandro’s deep, sexy voice came through. “Backing down?”

Seraphina bit her lip and leaned back on the sofa.

What on earth was Leandro up to?

The next day, when Sandra came to Seraphina’s room and saw Valerio, she was stunned.

Valerio was sitting quietly at the table doing his homework. Sandra pulled Seraphina aside.

“What the heck is going on?” Sandra asked, “Weren’t you done wasting time on Leandro? Why are you babysitting his kid now?”

Seraphina decided to keep the events from the previous night to herself, fearing Sandra would lose her mind.

“To be precise, the reason this child is here has little to do with his father, Seraphina remarked, “Blame it on my lack of restraint, attracting a little foodie.” Sandra bit her lip. “But he is Leandro’s child!”

“No, he’s just a child,” Seraphina glanced at the quiet Valerio, “A somewhat unfortunate child:

“Don’t let your kindness cloud your judgment! Have you forgotten…” Sandra’s words almost slipped out, but she suddenly paused and then continued slowly, “What exactly did Leandro do to you…”

Seraphina ran her fingers through her thick hair, then said casually and seductively, “I remember it all. That’s why I know exactly how to handle him.”

Seeing Seraphina’s attitude, Sandra had no choice but to leave with worry and anger.

As Sandra’s car left the neighborhood, a black Bentley drove in from the night, slowly entering the complex.

When the doorbell rang, Seraphina was in the shower, so she called out to Valerio, “The takeaway’s here, open the door! And be alert, don’t get tricked by strangers!*

Valerio, who was doing his homework at the table, rolled his eyes, got up and opened the door.

After finishing her shower, Seraphina walked out of the bathroom in a nightgown that barely covered her thighs, her hair still damp. She immediately sensed the change in the atmosphere.

Valerio was still working at his desk.

And on her sofa sat a silent, aloof man….
