Chapter 48 During Their Marriage

• With pursed lips and slowly reddening eyes, Charlene watched Thorne, who remained asleep. She swallowed the bitterness rising in her throat, took a deep breath, and carefully distanced herself, extracting herself from his embrace.
• Their bodies were so close that even the slightest movement from her would disturb him.
