Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown
Chapter 162
Chapter 163
As Serena approached her front door, she was startled by the tall figure leaning against it.
"Aaron?!"
Even before she got closer, the strong scent of alcohol hit her like a wave.
But hadn't Aaron stayed mostly sober when they were at the lounge earlier? Could it be that he was drowning his sorrows because he hadn't managed to soothe Cynthia Lynwood?
"Could you step aside? I need to get in," Serena said, stopping a mere three feet from him.
Aaron lifted his gaze, his eyes unfocused. In the next moment, he pulled Serena into a tight embrace, his voice hoarse with a barely noticeable tremor. "Don't leave..."
Serena's heart skipped a beat.
"Aaron, you're drunk!"
"I'm not drunk," Aaron insisted, holding her tighter. He lowered his head, almost whispering like a chant, "Don't leave me... don't leave me..."
His warm breath tickled Serena's ear, sending shivers down her spine.
With significant effort, she finally managed to push him away.
"Aaron, stop this. I'm calling Cynthia Lynwood to come get you!" Serena announced, pulling out her phone.
