The Playboy CEO’s Curvy Obsession Chapter 54: Love and Food Are Never to Be Neglected
On the way to the Regent Hotel, Seraphina Arden drove while Leon Everhart reclined in his seat, watching her.“Seraphina Arden, I got married today. Say something to make me feel better,” he said, tilting his head slightly.Seraphina thought for a moment and, with an overly cheerful tone, said, “The purple roses were romantic. The crystal butterflies hanging from the ceiling were beautiful. The groom looked dashing, the bride stunning. The tables were too large, the food was excellent, but the banquet started too late, and you made us leave early, so I missed a few dishes.”Leon chuckled and shook his head. “Besides food, can you think about anything else? Ugh, weddings are exhausting—more so than work. At least today is almost over.”Later that evening, there was a reception dinner, but as Leon got out of the car, he turned to Seraphina and said, “You’re off the hook for tonight. I was hoping to see even a little bit of disappointment on your face today, but you’re still the same car

Leon Everhart was, above all, a businessman. When the Henry family betrayed him, he could have struck back immediately. However, Harper chose that exact moment to announce her pregnancy of over a month.At thirty-something, Leon knew it was time for him to have children. For the sake of his unborn child, he swallowed the humiliation of the Henry family’s deceit.He resolved property disputes for two waterfront apartment complexes on behalf of the Henry family, relinquished his shares in their aluminum extrusion factory, and married Harper.A bad deal, by any calculation.If not for the child, Leon would never have taken Harper as his wife.Leon’s interest in the wedding was minimal. Yet, for the sake of giving his unborn child legitimacy, he played his part, going through the motions to preserve appearances.During the wedding reception, Harper stood obediently by Leon’s side, greeting guests with a sweet and charming smile. Despite his focus on the event, Leon’s mind wandered.Would

Every other week, Sophia would update Leon Everhart about Olivia’s antics in the administrative department. Olivia had recently attempted to meddle in the finance department, only to hit a dead end.After her dismissal, Babi had grown close to Olivia, and their connection had become quite active.Peter, who had known Leon and Olivia since childhood, was a familiar figure. It didn’t take much for Leon Everhart to piece together that the budget leak in the pre-construction phase had been orchestrated by Olivia.The only reason Leon had caught wind of the issue in time was thanks to his years of unspoken understanding with Seraphina Arden. That seemingly casual note she left was, in fact, a subtle yet critical warning.Had the construction of the downtown residential and commercial towers fallen into Peter’s hands, TerraVantage Group would have faced significant losses.On paper, Peter’s bid, $20 million USD lower than the next contender, seemed like a saving grace. However, Leon calcula

Seraphina Arden lay on her bed, feeling a mix of sympathy and helplessness for Lucas.Her mother’s words echoed in her mind:“We all have our own paths to walk, Seraphina. Everyone carries their own karma—no one else can bear it for them, not parents, not siblings. We help when we can, but there must be limits. Take your uncle, for example. He claimed he only owed the bank, and nothing else. We believed him, and your dad suggested we all chip in to help pay it off. That’s family—you can’t just stand by and do nothing. But then more debts kept surfacing—beyond what we could possibly help with.”“Lucas is your cousin. You’ve done your duty by offering him advice. That’s enough. Don’t let his problems drag you down. At the end of the day, everyone has to live for themselves.”Her mother’s words might have sounded selfish, but Seraphina realized their truth.Seraphina Arden was no saint. She had no intention of binding herself to someone else’s karma. That wasn’t her style. She slowly beg

Seraphina Arden had spoken to her parents, Elijah and Chloe, about Ethan's shortcomings.Elijah and Chloe offered their perspective: "When two people start living together, there will always be conflicts at first. These things take time to smooth out. Ethan isn’t a bad person. If he’s a bit careless, then you just need to be patient. As long as it’s not a matter of principles, bear with it, and you’ll move forward. Your father and I argue too, don’t we?”But when something went wrong, Seraphina’s first instinct was to call her parents, not Ethan.Chloe watched how Ethan treated Seraphina, and her heart ached. She wanted to rebuke him but found herself at a loss for words.Seraphina, however, didn’t feel anything was out of the ordinary. Ethan had always been this way, and she had grown used to it.At home, Seraphina did all the cleaning. The house was always tidy because of her efforts. Ethan would call out for water while gaming or ask her to fetch his clothes while he showered. Sera

The rumors about Leon Everhart and Seraphina Arden in the office were something Seraphina knew she had to address immediately. Such gossip would harm both her work and personal life.She sighed inwardly: Thank goodness for Ethan. Without him, clearing this up would have been impossible.Ethan’s advantages shone through at moments like this. Seraphina had a boyfriend—a very handsome one, too.The nine-photo collage she posted on social media, coupled with the public kiss before work, quickly smothered the scandalous rumors of an affair between the boss and his secretary.Mia pressed her with questions. “Seraphina, your boyfriend is so handsome! When are you two getting married?”Seraphina thought for a moment and replied, “After the New Year, we’ll start planning the wedding.”Seraphina rarely discussed personal matters with Leon Everhart. In the past, her boss had half-jokingly suggested she be with him. This time was no different. When he said he could give her anything except marria

Sebastian's Office.Despite Chloe's repeated reminders to remain calm, Elijah could not hide his emotions. He told Sebastian, “Director, I need to discuss something with you.”Sebastian smiled. “Elijah, what’s the matter? You don’t look well.”Elijah stood up and closed the door. He handed his phone to Sebastian, showing him the photos and videos.Elijah said, “Director, these were sent to Seraphina by a friend. They said someone’s setting up a trap targeting you and Ethan. We’re not sure who it is or how far it’s gone.”Sebastian looked at the photos and videos. His face darkened, his body trembling with rage. “Elijah, I failed to raise my son properly. I’ve let you and your daughter down!”Elijah sighed. “Director, you need to ask Ethan if there’s more dirt someone could use against him. Find out how far it’s gone and whether it can still be salvaged. If someone has leverage over him, it’ll only get worse later.”Sebastian closed his eyes briefly before speaking, “Elijah, I owe you

Looks like someone’s in big trouble, so I’m finding a place to hide before I get caught in the crossfire.”Lucas chuckled, “Got time to grab lunch with me?”Chloe had repeatedly warned Seraphina not to get too close to Lucas. But Seraphina and Lucas had grown up together like siblings—how could she truly cut ties with him? She also felt she should take the opportunity to remind Lucas to be careful.“Alright, I’m free on Sunday. You pick the place, and lunch is on me,” Seraphina replied.Lucas said, “How about 11:30 at Century Square? I’ll treat you to some Mexican barbecue.”On Sunday, Seraphina arrived as promised.Lucas had already ordered the barbecue and picked up drinks and side dishes.

Seraphina Arden and Leon Everhart returned to the office together.It was Saturday afternoon, with Sunday being a holiday. Generally, weekends were less busy, and the office atmosphere was more relaxed. However, seeing Leon Everhart walk in with a bright expression while Seraphina Arden followed behind with a sour look, everyone assumed that Seraphina had been scolded again.As Seraphina headed toward her own office, Leon called her from the front, “Seraphina, come to my office for a moment.”Her aunt had brought many gifts for her today, and the day’s schedule was light.

He handed her over to Liam and specifically instructed him not to indulge her sense of entitlement.Although Liam wasn’t fond of studying, he was sharp and quick-witted. Despite his dislike for Olivia, he still maintained an outward show of civility. Leon, however, didn’t even care to keep up appearances for her.Even the smartest people can be blindsided at times. Leon Everhart, despite his usual shrewdness, never imagined that someone like Olivia could successfully outmaneuver him.One time, when Leon went to visit Liam’s establishment with some guests, Liam casually mentioned that Olivia was seeing a

Seraphina Arden felt cold all over. With her sharp intuition, she was certain that something was off about Lucas and Olivia’s engagement. The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
