Meanwhile, a black SUV was leaving the park.
The sound of the engine starting was quite loud, making Raegan instinctively turn her head to look, but the dark tint on the windows blocked her view. Yet, she couldnt rid herself of the nagging sensation that something wasnt quite right, as if a set of eyes had been observing her.
Raegan? Stefan called out twice to recapture her attention.
ihat? Raegan responded.
Stefan smiled. What were you thinking about?
Nothing.
The air was getting colder, and Raegan rubbed her arms. Stefan, lets head back.

In Raegans eyes, Stefan was like a big brother. She addressed him as naturally as she would her brother. Thus, the word lets came out effortlessly.
A soft smile appeared in Stefans eyes as he gently suggested, Okay, lets go home.
In the black SUV, Mitchels handsome face was expressionless, as cold as ice.

The driver in the front seat sensed the cold atmosphere and cautiously asked, Mr. Dixon, where to now?
Back to the hotel, Mitchel replied curtly.
The driver breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the day of tension was over.
The driver had been working for Mitchel for a week. His assignment was to specifically monitor the entrance of the Clifford familys manor from morning to evening, with someone else taking over at night.
Today, they had ventured out, tailing Stefans car to the park for a walk.
The driver was puzzled over why Mitchel insisted on watching the young couples romance, yet appeared so irritated by it. Why bother to follow them in the first place?
On the way back, Raegan fell asleep. Likely due to the advanced stage of her pregnancy, she often felt exceptionally drowsy.
Upon reaching their destination, Stefan carefully parked the car.
Not wanting to disturb her, he observed the sleeping Raegan. He softly adjusted her seat back, tugged the blanket up a bit higher over her lap, and turned down the air conditioning to ensure she could sleep as comfortable as possible.
Once everything was set, he sat back and quietly admired her peaceful expression.
Raegan slept soundly, her cheeks rosy from the cozy air, presenting a lovely sight.
Watching her with a smile, Stefan felt a soothing sense of peace wash over him, simply being in her presence. He suddenly grasped what family could mean. Though their situation was all for a show, at that moment, he genuinely wished they were an actual family.
Raegan continued to sleep soundly for over four hours, from dusk till the stars faded into night.
As she stretched out of habit, her hand reached down, only to encounter emptiness, which startled her awake. That was when she realized she was still inside the car.
