Chapter 455

• The next day, I woke up to the morning sunlight, finding myself in Mr. Adler's embrace. There was a sense of tranquility in my heart that I had never felt before. Reflecting on the events of the previous day, I couldn't help but shake my head. It had been a truly bizarre and absurd night. I had narrowly escaped the clutches of the bad guys. The memory of their ugly faces and Olivia Yarlett's arrogant demeanor sent a shiver down my spine.
• "Why are you shaking your head?" Mr. Adler, who had also woken up, asked as he ruffled my messy hair.
• I adjusted myself in his arms, seeking a more comfortable position. "I was just thinking about everything that happened yesterday. It feels like a dream, a nightmare."
