Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 430

Seraphina and Valerio returned to their old home in Summitville, a quaint little town that seemed to have been frozen in time.

Before their arrival, Leandro had already arranged for the house to be cleaned up. By the time Seraphina and Valerio arrived, their neighbors had already showered them with gifts and the Manleys had prepared a hearty pot roast dinner, waiting for them to join.

Despite having been away for a while, Valerio had yet to forget everything here. He was thrilled to see the familiar faces of the Manleys and other neighbors, quickly settling back into the rhythm of the town.

“Are you here for the summer break? Bringing Valerio for a short stay?” Mr. Manley asked Seraphina.

“No.” Seraphina answered truthfully, “We might settle down here for a while.”

Mr. Manley seemed surprised. “And what about Valerio’s father?”

“He has to work, of course.” Seraphina said, “But he will visit us whenever he can.”

Hearing this, Mr. Manley breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought something had happened.”

Seraphina couldn’t help but laugh, “If something did happen, you can give him a piece of your mind when he visits, Mr. Manley.”

“Ha, not a chance.” Mr. Manley said, “You look radiant. It’s clear how good he is to you. It’s not my place to lecture him. I’d be afraid of getting a talking-to myself for not looking after you two well enough.”

“He wouldn’t dare!” Seraphina laughed.

On their first day back in Summitville, Valerio slept soundly while Seraphina suffered from a bout of insomnia.

The next day, she took Valerio on a leisurely tour around town and to visit his soon-to-be school.

Given it was a private international school, Seraphina handpicked the class that had minimum students for Valerio to facilitate his integration and make new friends.

Considering Valerio’s current situation, the school’s teachers drew up a tailored teaching plan for him. After reviewing the proposal, Seraphina felt satisfied. Valerio also seemed to get along well with his new teachers, so they settled on the school.

As it was the summer break, Seraphina and Valerio spent their days at ease, strolling around the town’s small streets and lanes, enjoying the tranquility that Summitville offered. The rest of their time was spent with Valerio’s new playmates.

In just a couple of days, Valerio was already able to utter simple sentences. Although his voice was still a little rough, it was already much better than when he had just started speaking.
