Chapter 306

• Ava was seated in the living room, engrossed in a book. The soft glow of the lamp illuminated her features, casting a serene aura around her. She looked up as Alex entered, a smile spreading across her face.

• Alex crossed the room in long strides, enveloping her in a warm embrace. " Hectic " he admitted, his voice tinged with exhaustion but filled with relief at being back in her presence.
