Chapter 145

Serena's breath caught for a moment, but she quickly masked it with a faint smile and said, "Mr. Vance, given your history, can you blame me for being suspicious?"

Aaron leaned in even closer, his forehead nearly touching Serena's, "Are you really suspicious, or deep down, do you hope I came to see you?"

His breath lightly brushed against the contours of Serena's face.

She stiffened, not daring to move, her eyes lifting to meet Aaron's face, so close to hers.

His dark hair fell across his forehead, highlighting his striking features and giving him an air of noble elegance.

With a chiseled nose and slightly upturned lips, his face seemed like a masterfully crafted piece of art, exuding an innate sense of privilege.

Once, Serena had both loved and loathed this face. Now, she felt only indifference.

"Oh, Mr. Vance, you sure have a way with jokes-" she said, lifting her hand to press against Aaron's chest, gently but firmly pushing him away, before smiling sweetly and adding, "If there were a button to make you vanish, I'd wear it out from pressing it so much."

Aaron's expression darkened.

But Serena had already taken out her keys, opened the door, and stepped inside, leaving him staring at the closed door, his gaze growing heavier.

For the next few days, Serena didn't see Aaron again.

Her thoughts of moving out gradually faded.
