Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 69

Serena spent a night at the hospital before finally returning to Rosewood Gardens.

As soon as she stepped inside, she almost bumped into Aaron, who was coming down the stairs.

Hearing this, Serena laughed, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"So, Mr. Vance, you do know that couples are supposed to share their schedules? Funny, you never thought to share yours with me."
