Yet, last night, perhaps because she had let go of her obsession, she experienced none of her usual unsettling dreams.
Raegan didn’t sleep much, but she managed to stay asleep without waking in the middle of the night.
After getting ready for the day, Raegan went with Annis to take Janey to kindergarten.
Today marked Janey’s final half-day there, and Janey chose to bid farewell to her classmates on her own.
Given the previous incident, Raegan felt uneasy and opted to move Janey overseas sooner than planned. Currently pregnant and low on energy, plus juggling studio responsibilities, she worried about Janey’s safety.
Thus, Raegan arranged for Janey and Annis to stay with her father ahead of schedule. After all, she

herself would be joining them abroad in just two months.
At the airport, Janey’s eyes welled up with tears, making it hard to part.
Raegan felt a pang of sadness. If it were up to her, she wouldn’t want Janey away from her side for even a moment. Yet, there were still many things left unsorted in the studio. She needed to take care of them before leaving.
Raegan crouched down, hugged Janey, and said with a raspy voice, “Be good, my love. Please keep your grandpa company for me. He always tells me how much he misses you.”
Janey, who had spent some time in Ardlens, felt a pang of missing her grandfather. With teary eyes, she nodded. “Mommy, make sure you take care of yourself. Eat regularly and get plenty of sleep.”
When parting, Raegan embraced Janey tightly, her heart heavy with reluctance. “Be good, listen to Annis and Victor while traveling, okay?”
Janey nodded obediently, flashed a bright smile to ease her mother’s worries, and cheerfully walked ahead with Annis.
Raegan turned to Victor and said, “Victor, I’m counting on you to look after Janey and Annis. The bodyguard my dad sent should be at the airport by now. Take Janey to the mansion and then come back.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll make sure Janey arrives safely at the mansion.”
Victor then expressed her concerns, “Please be careful in Ardlens.”
“It’s fine. Judd is with me.”
After they boarded the plane, Raegan got into her car and headed back to the studio.
On the elevated road, she watched the city shrink behind her and the plane ascend into the sky.
Raegan knew she had to stay strong. Three children would soon rely on her care, and she couldn’t afford to feel down.
Back at the studio, Raegan worked nonstop for five days straight until Erick insisted she rest at home due to feeling unwell.
A day of rest did Raegan good. Rising to use the bathroom, she froze at the sight of a gray soap on the washstand.
Opening the drawer and checking the cabinet, she realized Mitchel had left many of his things behind. He had become sly once he moved into her villa, gradually filling it with his belongings. Raegan found traces of him everywhere she looked.
Raegan spent half the day cleaning out his stuff. She boxed up all his items and asked her assistant to send them off via local courier.
She addressed the packages to Matteo.
