Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 462

After listening to Seraphina’s spiel, Simon chuckled softly before eventually responding with a nonchalant, “Having faith is a good thing.”

“Do you have faith, Mr. Martin?” Seraphina inquired.

“None,” Simon answered bluntly. “I’m more of a believer in making my own destiny.”

Raising an eyebrow, Seraphina retorted, “A man without faith is a man without fear. Perhaps Mr. Martin, you feel that lacking faith frees you from all restraints?”

“Life’s but a fleeting moment, why live it in constant fear and hesitation? That’s no way to live at all,” Simon remarked. “I thought you youngsters would see through that.”

Leandro, who had been quietly listening, finally spoke up, “That just shows that we walk different paths, Mr. Martin.”

Seraphina glanced at Leandro, whose gaze was cool and steady on Simon.

Simon let out another dry laugh and said, “You’re right. It would be quite dull if everyone were the same. You and your wife are quite the interesting couple. I’m sure you’ll lead a very interesting life.”

“Thank you,” Leandro replied coolly.

Simon’s eyes once again settled on Seraphina, and after a moment of silent observation, he remarked, “I once thought you reminded me of someone I knew.”

“Did I?” Seraphina lifted her chin slightly. “And now?”

“Not anymore,” came Simon’s reply.

“Is it because I’m sharp-tongued and maybe a bit too forthright? Did I scare Mr. Martin?” Seraphina teased.

Simon smiled, “How could you?”

“Right, I forgot. Mr. Martin fears nothing,” said Seraphina with a hint of sarcasm.

Simon laughed again but did not pursue the conversation further.

During the quiet interlude, the door to the hospital room was gently knocked upon, and Seraphina looked up to see Herman entering.
