Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 308

Chapter 308

Seraphina was clad in a blue starry gown, the stars on the hemline sparkling like tiny diamonds, understated yet stunning.

She had her long hair tied up, revealing her radiant and cheerful face, with twinkling eyes.

“Maybe you think I should tone it down a bit?” Seeing Leandro was silent, Seraphina continued, “If you think so, I can go and change right now. After all, I bought this dress with your money.”

Hearing this, Leandro slowly took her hand.

His gaze was deep, his eyes fixated on her, then he lifted her hand to his lips, planting a gentle kiss.

“As my wife, you don’t need to tone down anything,” he said

With that, Leandro, hand in hand with Seraphina, turned and walked towards the hotel.

Seraphina followed suit, slightly lowering her gaze to their intertwined hands, obediently trailing behind him. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The hotel was booked entirely for the Martin family that day, and as the couple made their appearance, they were immediately greeted and guided by the hotel staff.

Seraphina looped her arm through Leandro’s as they slowly entered the banquet hall. Bowen Smith was on the stage, holding Tania Martin’s hand, professing his love to her.

The seating arrangement for Leandro and Seraphina was at the front, so Seraphina, arm in arm with Leandro, made her way through the numerous tables

towards their seats.

All the lights in the venue were focused on the stage, illuminating Bowen and Tania, who looked like a couple in love.

Though the hall was slightly dim, and everyone’s attention was on the stage, many still noticed Leandro and Seraphina.,

The reason being, Seraphina’s starry gown was shimmering faintly in the dark night.

The soft glow wasn’t glaring but added a mystical beauty due to its hazy radiance.

Even after they took their seats, many eyes lingered on Seraphina, curious to catch a better glimpse of her.

Once seated, however, Seraphina turned her attention to the stage.

Bowen was still expressing his deep love for Tania.

“I’m not a perfect man, I can’t even say I’m a good one. Sometimes, I even find myself loathsome. I often upset her, make her unhappy, but she has never given up on me. She gives me endless understanding and gentleness. She has given me everything, and in return, she has become the one person in this world that I can’t give up…”

-Bowen’s words drew wave after wave of applause.

Seraphina listened quietly, and suddenly a thought crossed her mind.

Did he express his true feelings or pretend to be true? If it was the latter, then his acting skills were too profound.

A man who can express such deep affection towards a woman he doesn’t love, even despises, and successfully move the crowd, is quite terrifying.

But if his words were sincere… then who were they meant for?

Seraphina sat quietly, listening, but her thoughts were elsewhere.

The scene continued until Bowen finished his speech and slipped the engagement ring on Tania’s finger.

The audience erupted with applause. Tania bashfully leaned into Bowen’s arms, looking up at him with a face full, of happiness.

The lights in the hall brightened all at once, and flower petals fluttered down from above.

Some people were watching the stage, others were watching the couple below.

On the stage, Bowen was holding Tania, smiling at the petals floating in mid-air, his eyes serene and distant.

Below the stage, Seraphina looked up at the falling petals, her beautiful face and neck forming a graceful curve under the lights, looking like she was right out of a painting.

A white petal landed on her shoulder, Leandro noticed and brushed it off gently.

Seraphina slowly turned her gaze to him, sharing a smile.

With that turn, the onlookers finally got a clear look at the girl in the shimmering dress.

She didn’t seem ostentatious, but when she smiled, her striking beauty was overwhelming, hitting right in the feels.

Many curious eyes landed on Seraphina, even Bowen and Tania on the stage noticed her.

But Seraphina seemed oblivious, she just leaned a bit closer to Leandro.

Leandro disregarded the surrounding attention, naturally brushing off the petals on her.

The two of them did not make any grand gestures, yet they effortlessly drew a lot of attention.

Even though Tania had intentionally let go of her animosity towards Seraphina under Bowen’s guidance, she couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment.

After giving her a glance, Bowen, hand in hand with Tania, walked down the stage to Leandro and Seraphina.

Seraphina quickly stood up, arm in arm with Leandro.

“Mr. Reynolds, Bowen greeted Leandro first, then turned to Seraphina, “Sera, I thought you wouldn’t come today.”

“How could I not?” Seraphina replied with a bright smile, “It’s you and Ms. Martin’s big day; of course, I had to come to congratulate you. As Sandra’s best friend, since she can’t witness this grand occasion, I’m here to do it for her.”

Tania’s face changed instantly at these words.

She knew well that Sandra Smith’s death was an unspeakable pain for Bowen, so she had always been careful. But Seraphina dared to bring up Sandra at her engagement party, Tania felt it was a deliberate provocation.

Just when she was about to retort, Seraphina turned to her, smiling, “Ms. Martin, you look really beautiful today, congratulations.”

Tania was caught off guard, Bowen was holding her hand, cameras were rolling, and Seraphina was complimenting her. She couldn’t lash out, she could only reply stiffly, “Thank you.”

With a crowd of guests present, Bowen, being the star of the night, obviously couldn’t just stick around Seraphina and Leandro. Plus, Tània wasn’t too keen on seeing Seraphina, so after exchanging a few pleasantries, Bowen took Tania to mingle with the other guests.

Seraphina’s gaze followed them until she noticed Leandro’s hand subtly shifting on her waist, so she turned back around.

Simon Martin, who had previously met Seraphina in the hospital, was approaching Leandro with a drink in hand. Seeing Seraphina, he flashed a familiar

smile.

“Leandro, long time no see.”

Leandro nodded, clinking his glass against Simon’s, simply replying, “It’s been a while.”

In contrast, Seraphina was more proactive and enthusiastic, “Mr. Martin, we meet again.”

Simon gave a slight smile, “I told you before, we’d have plenty of opportunities to cross paths again.”

Seraphina sipped her drink with a smile. Just as she put her glass down, she heard a slightly cold female voice from behind Simon, “Dad.”

Simon turned around and quickly made room, introducing the newcomer to Seraphina, “This is my daughter, Andrea.
