Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown

Chapter 164

Serena tiptoed into the living room.

She immediately spotted Aaron asleep on the couch.

Moonlight poured through the large windows, casting a soft glow over his face, accentuating the depth of his features.

She wasn't sure if he was truly asleep or just resting his eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, she bravely stepped closer to him.

She watched him silently for a few minutes. Seeing that he remained still, Serena felt reassured.

Aaron was notoriously alert.

Even in his sleep, he could sense someone nearby and instantly wake up.
