Mitchel departed the following day.
Coming back to the Ardlens for surgery now meant Mitchel would miss Raegan giving birth.
He had desperately wanted to be there for the birth, but Raegan had not given him the chance, showing no mercy or compassion.
Raegan used facts to express her desire to live happily with someone else. Mitchel couldnt bear it, nor could he watch their displays of affection without feeling turmoil.

His upbringing and pride wouldnt allow him to stoop so Low again.
It seemed best to return to the Ardlens and grant her the peace she wanted.
After learning that Mitchel had departed, Raegan didnt seem to care much.
She continued her routine of strolling around every other day. Stefan was always by her side.
At dinner, the dishes on the table were all prepared to suit Raegans preferences. Yet, she merely toyed with her food, lacking enthusiasm.
Stefan came in and said, Shall we eat?
Raegan looked up, slightly confused. Stefan, why are you here?
A servant took Stefans coat to hang it up.
Stefan responded, I came to dine with you.
Recently, Stefan has been busy with legal formalities to distant himself from his family and establish his own household. He employed the excuse of preparing to register their children abroad.
The Clifford family rule allowed members to set up their households once married, but few chose to leave Aurora.
In Aurora, the Clifford family wielded power and offered plentiful opportunities. It was easy to achieve almost anything. Those who opted to establish their own households elsewhere were truly making life difficult for themselves.
However, Stefans views were fundamentally different from theirs.
The Clifford family members were naturally sly and deceitful, with a tendency for aggression. In the early days of the Clifford familys establishment, nearly half of their belongings were stolen.
The founding members of the Clifford family were outright bandits who, over time and through many conflicts, eventually rebranded themselves as sophisticated, wealthy elites.
At its core, the Clifford family would resort to any means, including arson and murder, if it furthered their interests.
Stefan refused to partake in such corrupt acts. Leaving the Clifford family was something he had longed for, and it was also his mothers dream.
