Aurora was about to lie on her bed when a sudden knock on the door startled her.
In a hurry, she sat silently on the edge of the bed, staring at the door.
'What does he want? Why did he come to my room at this hour?' She glanced at the digital watch on the bedside table, feeling anxious.
"Aurora, are you asleep?" Alex's voice pulled her out of her daze.
After ensuring her nightgown revealed little skin, she stood and walked to the door.
"Not yet," she softly replied as she reluctantly opened the door.
However, upon seeing him standing in nothing but his silk night robe, she swallowed silently.
Aurora quickly averted her gaze from his half-open robe. His broad chest was displayed proudly as if inviting her to look. Instantly, she felt a heat beneath her skin.
"Alex, what's wrong? Why are you here?" Aurora asked, her attention drifting. She did not want Alex to realize her thoughts—she was just an ordinary woman drawn to his striking looks.
