The Playboy CEO’s Curvy Obsession Chapter 85: The Truth Unravels

They asked him for loans, which they had no intention of repaying.In Leon Everhart’s office, Henry pleaded with him, “Leon, the Henry family is genuinely struggling right now.

That night, Harper was dragged away by her mother.

Once back home, she started holding the child daily, examining him closely but unable to shake her doubts.She didn’t dare sha

Seraphina Arden didn’t face the typical challenges of starting a business. With nearly a year of experience at Jerry's company under her belt, she was now handling everything with ease.Before decorating and setting up her office, Seraphina had already drafted detailed regulations, codes of conduct, and reward-and-punishment systems for the company.Having suffered through years of grueling overtime, Seraphina was adamant that employees should work efficiently during office hours and leave on time.Now, Seraphina truly understood Leon Everhart’s words about the importance of rules and order.

Seraphina Arden sighed and let go, allowing Leon Everhart to step inside.She stood in the middle of the living room, silently observing Leon Everhart.Leon tilted his head and looked back at her. Their eyes met, but Seraphina didn’t flinch or avoid his gaze.After a long pause, Leon finally broke the silence.“Seraphina Arden, long time no see.”Seraphina didn’t respond. She had no idea what to say to him.The six-month promise Leon Everhart had once made was long forgotten by Seraphina. Their relationship had ended before the New Year last year.Leon’s sudden appearance brought her no joy. She truly wanted a simple life. Now that she was living alone, she found it perfectly fine. Without him creating trouble in the east or his sister causing problems in the west, her days were peaceful and comfortable.Leon noticed her calm demeanor, devoid of any emotion, and felt his heart sink.“Trouble,” he thought to himself.“I came too late. Seraphina’s angry. What should I do?”A year withou

The next morning, Seraphina Arden emerged from her room, fully dressed and ready for the day. She noticed that the sofa had been tidied up, the bedding neatly folded. Leon Everhart sat upright on the couch, waiting.When Leon saw Seraphina, he greeted her with a radiant smile, a far cry from the persistent and clingy man he had been the night before.Standing, Leon approached Seraphina, stopping a meter away.In a serious tone, he said, “Seraphina, everything I told you last night was true. I understand that you might not love me, and that you probably feel a great deal of resistance toward me. I also know you yearn for the kind of love your parents share—a lifetime of commitment, growing old together. I didn’t understand that before, but I do now. I’ll work on myself and learn from your father. Seraphina, when I said I want to marry you, I meant it. Please don’t reject me outright. Think about it, okay?”Seraphina looked up at Leon, her lips pressed tightly together as though she wan
