Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 417

Prior to this, Seraphina had believed that Valerio’s emotional state had stabilized when it came to dealing with Gloria.

Even if his silence was due to Gloria, he had, after all, been able to face her afterwards. Even when Leandro took him back to Reynolds Vista Retreat, he didn’t show excessive restlessness. But what Seraphina didn’t expect was that an unexpected encounter with Gloria today would cause such him almost a panic attack.

Seraphina thought that probably Valerio had developed an excessive dependence on her after her constant presence.

Because before he turned six, Valerio had never enjoyed the feeling of relying on someone so much. After Seraphina appeared, especially after knowing that she was his biological mother, he unhesitatingly placed all his trust in her, probably to make up for the lack of security he had felt before he was six.

This dependence allowed him to completely relax himself, forget his previous defensiveness and fear, and fully revert to the mindset of a child.

Because of this, the sudden encounter with Gloria would bring up his past fears again, causing such a big impact.

He had become accustomed to a safe and comfortable environment. Suddenly returning to his former state of mind, it was inevitably a bit overwhelming. But the more it was like this, the more Seraphina felt heartache.

In the past, it was her who owed this child too much, leading to his current condition and mindset. From now on, she would never allow anyone to hurt him even a little bit.

Although Valerio was scared, the presence of Seraphina still successfully comforted him,

Herested his head on Seraphina’s shoulder, and after a bout of sobbing, gradually calmed down.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Seraphina with teary eyes, and reached out to wipe her tears away.

Seraphina was on the verge of tears, but eventually just smiled lightly, saying, “Mommy’s fine. Are you still scared?”
