NovelEndChapter 183 "Aaron?" Serena stared in panic at Aaron as he slowly approached, feeling as if someone had gripped her throat, making it hard to breathe.
Could it be that he already knew the secret beneath the old oak tree? The mere thought that Aaron might have already seen those notes made her feel even more suffocated.
"How did you find this place?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
"I followed you, of course," Aaron replied, narrowing his eyes. "You seemed so flustered, like you were hiding something." Serena finally relaxed. It seemed Aaron had no idea about this spot after all.
