Tangled in His Obsession ( Seraphina )
Chapter 28

Chapter 28 

After leaving Enchanted Petals Club, Seraphina bolted straight home. 

The open–plan one–bedroom cottage was neat and tidy, certainly not her usual style–it was clear Sandra had come over to clean up the place for her 

again. 

That lady from the ritzy family sure is quite the housewife. 

Seraphina sighed deep down, casually unfastened her bra, tossed it onto the coffee table, and sank into the couch. 

The first thing she did when she plonked down was to boot up her computer, then took out her voice recorder, and started to sort out the recording from that night. 

Having dinner with Terrell was just a smoke screen for the evening, the ultimate goal was to get Terrell and Balch in the same room, hence the recording in the restroom was the key. 

However, when she got to the part in the restroom, Seraphina started to get a bit of a headache. 

Terrell and Balch hardly said a word to each other after their encounter, and she had to painstakingly sift through the segments filled with her flirtatious exchanges with Leandro. 

After a few minutes of focused listening, she couldn’t help but rip off her headphones and toss them aside. 

Her ears were filled with the close calls she had with Leandro, making her feel strangely hot and bothered. 

Seraphina got up and went to the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water and took a few big gulps. 

But she couldn’t stop her mind from replaying the scenes–what was Leandro’s reaction to her? Was he usually good at hiding it, or was it just a one-off, surprise? 

Lost in thought, Seraphina was jolted back to reality by the sound of the doorbell. 

She absentmindedly opened the door without breaking away from her train of thought. 

Karan was standing at the door, looking at her with a cold gaze. 

Seraphina snapped back to reality and saw Valerio, being led by Karan. 

Valerio, with a big backpack on his back, quickly glanced at Seraphina and then deliberately looked away 

“Uh…” Seraphina hesitated for a moment, “Karan, what’s the deal here?”

“My daughter is sick and in the hospital, I need to go take care of her for a while.” Karan said flatly, then pushed Valerio toward Seraphina, “This kid is your problem for now.” 

Upon hearing this, Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “Karan, what’s that got to do with me?” 

“Didn’t you tell someone you were a nanny?” Karan retorted. 

Seraphina suddenly remembered what she told Leandro’s date, and was caught off guard. 

“Besides, you lived here when you were a kid, and this family took care of you for so many years, but now you can’t even look after this kid for a few days?” Karan said, “If it weren’t for this kid making a fuss these past few days, do you think anyone would trust you to look after him?” 

Listening to Karan’s incessant complaints, Seraphina couldn’t help but get a headache again. She quickly reached out to grab Valerio, “Alright, alright, no problem, I’ll take care of him, for as long as it takes, is that okay now?” 

Karan glared at Seraphina again before dragging out a small suitcase from behind him, “This is his stuff, take good care of him, don’t cause any trouble! 

After seeing Karan off and closing the door, Seraphina was still a bit stunned. What a tough cookie! she had no way to deal with someone like Karan, otherwise she wouldn’t have ended up with a kid in her apartment after just a few sentences! 

Seraphina looked down at the child next to her, but the child’s gaze was on the coffee table. 

Spotting her bra casually thrown on the coffee table, Seraphina quickly picked it up and stashed it in the closet. She then turned around and looked at Valerio helplessly 

Valerio had already taken off his backpack and sat down on the couch. He picked up the headphones Seraphina had thrown aside and curiously tried to put them on 

“Wait!” Seraphina ffoze, rushed over and snatched the headphones, hastily shut down the computer, then squatted down in front of Valerio and looked at him suspiciously. “Did your dad send you here to torment me?”
