Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 167

At 24, Leandro was a year away from taking the reins of the family business. Back then, he was the quintessential heir involved in the company yet with ample leisure time. His days were filled with socializing and indulgences, with little concern for family matters.

One day, while leaving the office for a gathering, he unexpectedly spotted Seraphina on the street. She was 16, navigating the challenges of adolescence and high school. Engrossed in a heated argument with a boy, both in school uniforms, they were a conspicuous sight.

Without hesitation, Leandro pulled over. His relationship with Seraphina was distant at the time. She was the young girl taken in by the Reynolds family, doted on like a granddaughter by Conway. Though she was expected to address Leandro as “brother” like other family children, she never did.

Like all kids who depend on others for their livelihood, Seraphina had a sensitive and fragile ego which she carefully guarded. Most of the time, she went about her life practically invisible.

Even though they weren’t close, they were still family. Leandro pulled over, looked at the arguing pair and called out, “Hey, need a hand?”

Seraphina looked up and saw him, ran towards his car like he was her knight in shining armor, opened the door and got in.

The boy, however, didn’t give up so easily. He ran a few steps towards the car but stopped when he saw Leandro. He looked at Seraphina and asked, “Seraphina, who is he? Why are you getting in his car?”

“That’s none of your business.” Seraphina clutched her backpack, not looking at the boy, and said through gritted teeth, “Stop following me!”

Leandro didn’t want to get involved with the boy any further. He hit the gas and drove away.

Seraphina remained silent, clutching her backpack and staring at her lap for a long time before she finally whispered, “Thank you”
