Hugh stood with his back to Serena, his long fingers unfastening his tic.

"I'm not going to do anything. Don't worry. Get some rest."

He didn't leave her any room for negotiation, and Serena didn't push it any further.

After changing into a fresh set of pajamas, Serena lay in bed, scrolling through her phone. Moments later, Hugh walked out of the bathroom, wearing a neatly tied robe, his toned muscles faintly visible beneath the fabric.

Serena averted her gaze, then set her phone aside and shut her eyes tightly. She said urgently, "I'm going to sleep now."

Hugh's eyes traced the outline of her figure under the blanket. His voice dropped to a soft murmur as he said, "Good night."

He walked over to the bed and turned off the bedside lamp for her before quietly making his way to the small couch.
