Chapter 120 Morning-after Mischief

• Morning spilled softly through the blinds, dappling the walls in muted golds. Ellerei blinked awake slowly, still cocooned in Knox’s arms, his breathing deep and steady against her neck. She lay still for a long moment, savoring the calm, the silence—a rare luxury before the day’s chaos kicked off again.
• It didn’t last long.
• A muffled giggle slipped from somewhere beyond the bedroom door, followed by the unmistakable sounds of shuffling footsteps and quiet whispers. Ellerei smirked, stretching slowly before carefully slipping free of Knox’s grasp.
