Burn the Marriage, Keep the Crown novel Chapter 45

Serena's voice was calm and indifferent. "Oh, be my guest."

With that, she walked over to the closet and took out a hairdryer.

Cynthia Lynwood watched her graceful movements, biting her lip hard. "You don't believe what I said, do you? Yes, Maggie said on TV that there was nothing between me and Aaron. But that was just to keep you calm.

After you disappeared yesterday, Aaron was afraid you might harm yourself, so he asked Maggie to say that."

Serena couldn't care less about the nature of Aaron and Cynthia Lynwood's relationship.

Her voice remained steady and impassive. "Finished looking around? Can you leave now?"

Cynthia Lynwood felt deflated as she stared at Serena's unresponsive face.

"Yes, I've finished," she said while wheeling herself towards the door. Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, she turned back, gazing at Serena's retreating figure. "Aaron says you've been together for four years but never been intimate. Is that true?"

Serena nearly dropped the hairdryer from her hand.

Her fingers whitened from the pressure of her grip.

"Do you have a hobby of prying into your ex's privacy, Miss Lynwood?"

Cynthia Lynwood smirked. "Not really. It's just that Aaron told me why he never touched you."

Serena's fingers tightened further around the hairdryer.

"He said it's because you're filthy."

Serena's mind exploded in chaos.

Every time she dressed provocatively to entice Aaron, his impatient gaze was now like a needle stabbing at her heart.

So, Aaron avoided her simply because he thought she was dirty???

But how was she dirty?

When she loved Aaron, she gave him everything.

Her seven years of youth were repaid with one word: filthy.
