Chapter 215

In the middle of the night, for some reason, I felt a chill breeze sneak through the window, probably a signal that autumn was creeping in. The blanket over me felt too thin, and as I reached to pull it closer, I remembered I had dozed off while blow-drying my hair. Max wasn't beside me, so I got up, intending to close the window. That's when I spotted him down in the garden gazebo, seemingly in conversation with Richard. I frowned slightly, checking the clock on the wall which showed it was already 2 a.m. What could Richard possibly want with Max at this hour? And more importantly, could Richard be a threat to Max?

Concerned, I made my way downstairs, only to find Max sitting alone when I reached the garden.

He noticed me approaching and smiled, waving me over, "What brings you here?"

"I thought I saw Richard with you," I said, looking around.

"You must've been mistaken," Max replied, casually draping a blanket around my shoulders and pulling me close. "When did you become such a light sleeper?"
