Chapter 117

• Ace stepped into the bedroom, his footsteps echoing softly against the wooden floors. As he entered, he caught sight of Sarah standing near the window, her eyes fixed on him. She wore an expression that seemed devoid of any emotion, her gaze piercing into his soul. Ace's heart skipped a beat, a wave of apprehension washing over him.
• Approaching Sarah cautiously, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. His mind raced, searching for the reason behind her cold stare. Did she somehow overhear his conversation on the call just moments ago in the sitting room? The memory of it sent a shiver down his spine. It was a conversation that held secrets, secrets he had been desperate to keep hidden from Sarah.
• Yet, as Ace drew nearer to her, he couldn't detect any sign of recognition or anger in her eyes. It seemed as though she hadn't heard a single word. Perhaps it was just his paranoia getting the better of him. He hoped against hope that his fears were unfounded.
