Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 442

For a while, Seraphina had truly reveled in Leandro’s indulgence and compliance, to the extent that she had almost forgotten his cunning and ruthlessness.

He could be utterly merciless when he chose to be.

She’d been run ragged all day, to the point where she didn’t even have the energy for her usual sharp-tongued banter. It was only then that peace prevailed.

In the afternoon, Leandro had gone alone to pick up Valerio from school.

Having not seen his father for several days, Valerio was overjoyed, eagerly tugging Leandro home to see Seraphina.

But when Seraphina saw Leandro, she was as cold as ice, hardly in the mood to make nice.

“Mom, Dad’s here,” Valerio informed her, clearly hoping to warm the frosty atmosphere.

Seraphina glowered at Valerio, making a fist as a warning, deliberately showing off the marks on her wrist left by Leandro’s tie, a silent testament to her ordeal that day.

Leandro, holding an innocent-looking Valerio close, spoke calmly, “Mom’s tired. Let her rest, so she can give you her full attention later, instead of wasting her energy elsewhere.”

At his words, Seraphina gritted her teeth and shot Leandro another glare.

He met her fiery gaze with a raised eyebrow, as if to challenge her disapproval.

Remembering the day’s events, Seraphina begrudgingly swallowed her pride.
