Chapter 25

• [Ariya’s POV]
• WE engaged in intimacy three times before he stopped. He wanted more, but I was really tired and extremely sleepy. Before my eyes surrendered, I heard his faint laughter, and he kissed my forehead.
• The next day, I didn't find Christopher beside me. However, even though my entire body ached, especially the center, I found myself smiling. I don't know why, but I'm sure I feel some joy. I'm not sure for what reason.
