Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 313

That day, Seraphina ran into Andrea at noon, and unexpectedly, she bumped into Patrick in the afternoon.

Patrick popped up in the gallery out of the blue and Seraphina was taken aback, “Are you in the country? Why didn’t I see you at Tania’s engagement party last night?”

At this, Patrick just smirked, “I just got back today.”

“Oh?” Seraphina raised an eyebrow, “Tania’s engagement was yesterday, but you chose to come back today. Was this intentional or just a coincidence?”

Patrick just threw a casual smile, “Nobody would care whether I attend a Martin family event or not, so I’d rather spend my time doing my own thing. I’ve got a gift for you.”

“For me?” Seraphina asked, puzzled, “Why are you giving me a gift?”

“You’ve thoroughly investigated the Jones family case and even took down a crime syndicate, avenging my friend and countless others who were wronged. Yet, you refused the job offer I made.” Patrick replied, “So, I can only give you a small token of my gratitude.”

With that, Patrick made a “please” gesture. “You’ve already paid me a hefty reward and bonus. You don’t owe me anything.” Seraphina followed him towards the gallery entrance as she spoke.

At this moment, Patrick’s assistant walked in carrying something. Seraphina could tell from its shape that it was a painting.

“I stumbled upon this painting overseas and thought you’d like it.” Patrick said.

Seraphina approached and unwrapped the packaging on the frame. She was stunned.

It was a painting by Carney. The brushwork and style were unmistakably his. However, she had never seen this Jasmine painting before.

“This….” Seraphina stared at the painting in silence for a long while before speaking, “This must be one of my father’s early works. I’ve never seen it.”

Hearing this, Patrick chuckled, “Looks like I didn’t pick the wrong gift.”

Seraphina smiled slowly, stood up and said, “Thank you. I love this gift.”

With that, she carefully packed up the painting and invited Patrick upstairs.
