Tangled in His Obsession Series

Chapter 465

After leaving the airport, Leandro made his way back to the Reynolds Vista Retreat.

The place had always been quiet, but now with Gloria gone, it was as if the last whisper of life had followed her out the door.

The house staff, normally scattered about, had gathered in small clusters, chattering away. But at the sight of Leandro’s return, they scattered like leaves in the wind.

Ascending the staircase, Leandro entered Gloria’s room and noticed two prominently placed boxes. After a moment of silence, he approached, picked up the boxes, and left the room.

When he arrived back at the Reynolds Manor, Seraphina was helping Valerio with his arts and crafts homework-a simple arrangement of handcrafted flowers that Seraphina had transformed into a dance of colors and shapes.

Leandro approached, and Seraphina, catching sight of him, didn’t miss a beat. “You’re back?” she asked simply.

“Yeah, Leandro replied, placing the two boxes on the table.

Both Seraphina and Valerio’s eyes were drawn to the boxes.

“Dad, what’s that?” Valerio asked, “A gift?”

Leandro nodded slowly, “Yes, a gift.”

“Who’s it for?” Valerio inquired with growing interest, “Can I open it?”

After receiving a nod from Leandro, Valerio eagerly grabbed one box while Seraphina picked up the other, and they opened them simultaneously.

“It’s a ring!” Valerio exclaimed, holding up a radiant emerald ring.

Seraphina looked up too, revealing a jade pendant shaped like a peanut in her hand, its texture pure and flawless.

“Clearly, we got them mixed up,” Seraphina remarked to Valerio, swapping her peanut pendant for the emerald ring in Valerio’s hand.

“Oh, a peanut,” Valerio said, “Is this for me?”

Leandro affirmed with a soft tone, “Your grandmother wanted you to have it, wishing you a lifetime of safety.”

At the mention of his grandmother, Valerio paused, then looked towards Seraphina.

Seraphina casually slipped the ring onto her finger and propped her chin, teasing, “Don’t you want it? Then give it to me! It’s been ages since I’ve gotten a present!”
