Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 437

Valerio was a boy with a heart for adventure, his eyes lighting up whenever he saw soldiers or police officers. He spent the entire car ride with his nose pressed against the window, saluting every uniform that passed by.

Seraphina had never seen such fanfare either. She couldn’t help but glance at Leandro and say, “You never mentioned that Herman’s grandparents lived like… well, like this…”

“It was never a secret, Leandro replied casually. “So I never felt the need to bring it up.”

“And how did you get connected with them, living all the way out in Summitville?” Seraphina asked hurriedly, as the car began to slow down.

Leandro turned to her with a smile. “When the Reynolds Group was struggling, how could I possibly turn it around all by myself? I had to rely on some heavy hitters along the way.”

“Herman’s grandparents were your heavy hitters?”

“One of my heavy hitters, Leandro said simply.

As they spoke, the car came to a stop. Herman was waiting on the porch for them.

Seraphina eyed the quaint cottage, imagining what kind of people Herman’s grandparents would be.

She and Leandro had barely helped Valerio out of the car when Herman’s Grandma Ross emerged from the house, exactly as Seraphina had pictured. Though she was well into her seventies, Ross was the picture of vitality, with her jet-black hair and bright eyes. She wore a tasteful, modernized dress that spoke of elegance and grace.

“Mrs. Ross, it’s been too long,” Leandro greeted her with Seraphina and Valerio in tow, his tone respectful and warm.

“It has,” Ross smiled gently. “But I know you’re busy, and it’s good for young people to keep busy.”
