章 343: Everything She Had Ever Wanted

Adrienne woke up in the middle of the night, nestled on her husband's chest. The sound of his steady heartbeat comforted her as she slowly untangled herself from his embrace. She tiptoed out of the bedroom, careful not to wake him, and went to the kitchen for a glass of water. As she sipped the cool liquid, Adrienne couldn't help but feel grateful for the peaceful moments she had with her husband, even in the middle of the night.

She looked outside the massive glass window, seeing the moon still in the dark sky. Adrienne couldn't see the vast sea from where she stood, but she knew it was there, its rhythmic waves crashing against the shore. The moon's gentle glow illuminated the room, casting a soft, ethereal light that added to the tranquility of the moment.
