Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 44

Even though Seraphina asked, she had already ruled out that possibility in her heart

What kind of woman could easily trap a man as cool and aloof as Leandro?

As she was thinking this, she lifted her eyes and found Conway looking at her

“You seem pretty interested in this kid’s background,” Conway asked.

Seraphina reached out and massaged Conway’s leg a bit, “Grandpa, I’m not interested in the kid. Im worried about you I dont ward you to stress over the

Conway smacked her lightly on the head, “This happened six years ago, I wouldn’t still be stressing over it!

“So where does the kid really come from? Seraphina quickly asked again

“One night six years ago. Leandro brought him home: Conway said, “He said he found the kid on the street.”

Seraphina laughed out loud, “I can’t believe he had the nerve to say that”

But Conway just looked at her, his expression serious and helpless

As Seraphina sensed that something was amiss, her expression shifted slightly. “It can’t be true, can it?” she questioned

Conway confirmed with a nod, verifying that it was indeed the truth

Later that night, to everyone’s surprise, Leandro showed up with a baby in his arms and handed it over to Karan. The entire Reynolds family was taken aback by this unexpected arrival.

Leandro’s explanation was brief, “I found him on the street”

He brought the baby home because he was on his way to change clothes and didn’t have time to take the baby to the police station, that was all

He quickly left after changing his clothes, leaving the family not knowing what to do with the baby

On the one hand, it was a human life, on the other hand, it didn’t match Leandro’s usual behavior, in the end, Leandro only left the words 1 found him on the street,” and no one could determine the truth.

Before Leandro returned, the baby stayed with the Reynolds family for a full week.

“So, the kid was really picked up?” Seraphina found it hard to believe, “And then Leandro adopted the kid?”

“Do you think the kid looks like Leandro? Conway countered.

Seraphina nodded, “Yeah, at first I didn’t think so, but the more I look at them, the more they seem alike.”

“The family also thought the kid looked more and more like Leandro, and everyone basically accepted that it was Leandro’s kid, so everyone accepted the kid. But when Leandro came back, he still insisted the kid was picked up”

Seraphina couldn’t help but feel disappointed, “So the kid was really just picked up, huh?”

Conway cleared his throat, picked up his cup and took a sip of water, then looked at Seraphina, “Does the fact that the kid was picked up disappoint you that much?

“I’m very disappointed I thought there would be an interesting story… Seraphina leaned back on the couch, suddenly thinking of something. “Wait, if the kid was picked up. why does he look so much like Leandro?”

“Probably fate,” Conway sighed, speaking slowly. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Once you accept the fact that “Valerio was picked up.” “fate” becomes the only explanation.

Seraphina frowned, suddenly asking “So was Valerio born mute?”

*Not exactly” Conway sighed deeply, “When he was three, Gloria scared him so much during a fit of anger that he lost his ability to speak and hasn’t spoken since

Seraphina thought of Leandro’s mother Gloria and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Gloria’s temper, it’s always been the same”

But this made the boy Valerio seem even more pitiful

Just as Seraphina was thinking this, the doorbell suddenly rang

A sense of foreboding rose in her heart. When she opened the door, the pitiful mute boy was standing at the door, looking at her
