It was late at night, and Raegan didn’t want to summon the maid to do the dishes. She tidied up the table and was about to wash the plates.
Right then, Mitchel walked over to the sink and started to do the washing.
His tall stature made the sink look low by comparison, setting up a slightly awkward yet cozy and pleasant vibe.
With everything finished, it seemed like there was nothing else to do.

Raegan agreed and started to remove her apron, accidentally tightening the knot.

Raegan felt her cheeks burn. “Only in your dreams.”
With that, she forcefully closed the door.
Outside, Mitchel gazed at the door, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction. He began to feel a hint of hope.
On the way back.
