Briar laughed. “Sometimes, I feel like we’re kind of bad people.”

Killing, looting, scamming, scheming, they’d done it all.

“Bad? How so? Everything we’ve done, we’ve done with a clear conscience, standing tall and righteous.” Ashton chuckled, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

Briar had been increasingly sensitive and suspicious lately. He worried that if he didn’t guide her properly, she would develop another emotional hang–up.

It must be exhausting to be so sentimental at such a young age.

Briar remained silent, pretending not to hear the unspoken comfort in Ashton’s words.

She herself would probably have to think hard to count how many people she had killed over the years.

“Don’t dwell on it. The past is behind us. From now on, I’m here for you. No matter what you choose to do, I’ll be there by your side.” Ashton lowered his head and kissed Briar’s closed eyelids.

“Okay. I don’t want to think about it anymore.” Briar nodded. “I’m sleepy. Lull me to sleep.”

Ashton lifted the covers and pulled his soft, sweet–smelling wife into his arms. “Okay. I’ll lull you to sleep.”

Briar was indeed very sleepy and fell into a deep sleep in Ashton’s arms in no time.

However, Ashton, who held her with his eyes closed, couldn’t fall asleep.


An hour later, Ashton carefully slid his arm from under Briar’s head, got out of bed quietly, threw on a bathrobe, and walked out the door.

Outside the door, on the stair landing, Ian and Brandon were waiting. When Ian saw Ashton come out, he glanced behind him.

He asked, “Mr. Wade, where’s Briar?”

Ashton carefully tied the sash of his bathrobe. “She’s asleep.”

Ian pursed his lips. “All right.”
