NovelEnglishChapter 270 Mrs. Gray The warm sunlight pouring into the quiet bedroom combined with the steady heartbeat of the person beside her made Sierra feel surreal.
Yesterday, the sperson and she had gotten married, making her Benson's aunt now.
It all felt like a dream, so unreal.
She struggled slightly, but Theo's embrace was tight. As she didn't want to wake him up, she stopped moving. Lying in his arms, she found her mind wandering, only to be brought back to the present by his striking features.

She couldn't resist tracing his features in the air, imagining how he would look when he opened his eyes. Suddenly, Theo's eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes slowly opened.
Her hand froze in midair, and their gazes locked.
"Good morning, Mrs. Gray." He was the first to break the silence with a gentle smile.
Sierra's eyes flickered in panic. She quickly withdrew her hand and retreated her neck slightly, murmuring, "Good morning." "There was an unexpected issue during a late-night video meeting, so I got back later than planned." She hadn't expected him to explain why he hadn't returned to the bedroom last night. Though she didn't respond, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
Sierra had let her thoughts run wild before falling asleep. She had worried that Theo might have regretted their marriage but didn't know how to say it...
She had even considered moving to the guest room or returning to her old place. She couldn't just keep occupying his space.
However, she knew she misunderstood when she woke up in his arms. She felt too embarrassed to bring up the idea of sleeping separately.
Sensing that Sierra was stiff, Theo reached out and gently combed her hair with his fingers, his usually cold eyes filled with warmth. "I'm going to wash up. You can sleep a little longer." After glancing at the time, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead. As he got up, he made sure to tuck the blanket around her.
Watching him walk into the bathroom, Sierra felt her face burning instantly. She clutched the blanket and slowly pulled it over her head.

"Oh, shit. I'm running late!" Panicked, she jumped out of bed barefoot, only to crash into Theo, who had just finished getting dressed.
"Ah!" She gasped, instinctively grabbing onto his shirt and tie in a flustered panic.
His coat slipped off his arm and fell to the floor. His large hands caught her slender waist, while the force of her pull brought his face closer to hers. She froze on the spot. With a low sigh, Theo lowered his head slightly, saying, "Sierra, let go."
Following his gaze, she finally realized what she was holding She blushed as she quickly released him, stepping back while apologizing, "I'm sorry." He loosened his grip and pulled his tie free, exhaling deeply now that he could breathe again.
Watching his movements, Sierra hesitated before extending a hand. "Should I... help you tie it back?" Theo paused for a moment. Then, the next second, he handed her the tie and leaned in slightly. "Alright. Thank you, Mrs. Gray." She stood on her toes as she fixed his tie. "Mrs. Gray?"
He kept his eyes on the top of her head, his gaze unwavering and filled with deep affection. "Of course, you're Mrs. Gray after marrying me."
