Chapter 398: Enemies To Lovers

"You look tired, you should rest," Serena said as she looked at the bed. "The kids took your bed, but you can still sleep on one end. It’s big enough."

"And you?" he asked, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face, which seemed focused only on their sleeping arrangements.
