Chapter 66 Thus, he recognized it immediately.
...So, Aaron went to Northspire to offer blessings for Cynthia Lynwood? "What are you thinking about?" Aaron's voice broke Serena's reverie. She looked up at the man in front of her, suddenly feeling like a fool.

Watching her slender figure retreat, Aaron knitted his brows. After a moment, he turned back to the tray and picked up the charm he had placed there.
It was meant for Serena. However, Victor had mentioned that while the charms from Harmony Temple were indeed effective, they often worked in unexpected ways. For instance, if you wished for wealth, you might end up in a car accident and receive a hefty compensation.
With a furrowed brow, Aaron pulled out a Zippo lighter and burned the charm. Once it was nothing but ashes, he looked up towards the second floor.

After a brief hesitation, Aaron decided to head upstairs. The door wasn't locked, and he easily pushed it open to find Serena sitting at the edge of the bed, engrossed in her tablet.

She raised an eyebrow, "Are you a ghost? How do you walk so quietly?" "Do you really like antiques that much?" "My business is none of yours." Aaron sighed deeply, moved to the wardrobe, retrieved sclothes, and headed into the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water filled the room.

After what felt like an eternity, the water finally stopped. The bathroom door swung open, and Aaron emerged, steam trailing behind him. A towel hung low on his hips, and droplets of water glided down his toned form, disappearing at the towel's edge.
Serena turned, greeted by the sight of a living, breathing Adonis. Her eye Her eyes darted, unsure of where to rest, as the scent of his fresh, masculine presence grew stronger.
In the next moment, Aaron stepped closer, his warm breath brushingn Serena's cheek. I'm done. Do you want to take a shower?" Serena backed up, nearly pressing herself against the floor-to-ceiling window. "Yeah."
He studied her for a moment before straightening up. Sereng seized the opportunity grabbed her clothes, and dashed into the bathroom. With the door shut, her wildly beating heart finally calmed down.
Outside, watching Serena's hasty retreat, Aaron allowed himself a small, knowing smile.
She still had feelings for him.
