Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 5

"Ma'am!" the manager cried out in alarm as soon as he saw Cynthia Lynwood faint.

But in the very next moment, a figure moved faster than the manager, rushing to Cynthia Lynwood's side and scooping her up before swiftly leaving.

That tall and commanding presence could only belong to Aaron.

Serena allowed herself a small, sardonic smile.

With Aaron having driven off, she had no choice but to call a cab to get home.

Unfortunately, finding a cab near the dealership was no easy task.

Serena, in her high heels, walked for nearly an hour before a driver finally accepted her ride request.

Once inside the car, she glanced down at her blistered feet.

She let out a sigh of relief.

At least it was her feet that hurt, not her heart.

After the incident at the dealership, Serena didn't see Aaron for several days.

Not that she needed to investigate his whereabouts.

Cynthia Lynwood was always eager to report them herself.

[9:05 AM: Aaron personally fed me soup today!]

[6:23 PM: Aaron peeled a grapefruit for me. It looks delicious, want to try? Haha, you'll never get the chance!]

The message included a picture of the neatly peeled grapefruit.
