Chapter 552:

Marissa had awakened to the gentle sound of Connor typing on his laptop. As her eyes opened, she noticed him deeply absorbed in his work. She made no sound, content to simply watch him. His presence had a calming effect on her, making her sleep more restful.

He offered a warm smile and whispered gently, “Awake?”
