Chapter 231: Love And Life In The Moonlight

Adrian gazed into Aria's eyes, which were wide with surprise and something else—something deeper. Their eyes spoke a thousand unspoken words, conveying emotions they had both kept hidden for so long.

"Aria," Adrian whispered, his voice filled with tenderness. "I love you."

Aria's eyes softened, and she didn't say a word. Instead, she closed her eyes and leaned down, her lips hovering just above his. Adrian's heart raced, and he closed his eyes as well, moving his head slightly to meet her halfway.

Their lips met in a gentle, tender kiss, a connection that seemed to transcend time and space. The world around them faded away, leaving only the two of them in that perfect, magical moment. The kiss deepened, filled with the passion and love they had both been holding back.
