Raegan shook her head definitively and said, “Don’t worry. He won’t come back.”
The look in Mitchel’s eyes before he left conveyed finality. This time, they were really over, and Raegan was certain of it.
This was the outcome she had expected when she decided to involve Henley.
After getting dressed, Henley noticed Raegan seemed a bit worn out, so he didn’t say anything more. He simply handed her the book that needed translation.

This was a favor Henley was doing for Raegan. One of his foreign clients was into this novel and was willing to pay big bucks for a translated version. However, his language was rare, and finding a translator was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Thankfully, Henley recalled Raegan’s proficiency in this foreign language while they were in college.
Raegan had once been chosen by the school to act as a translator for a visiting delegation from that country during a cultural exchange.
What he didn’t realize back then was that Raegan had picked up this rare language not out of pure passion but because of the lucrative translation opportunities it presented.
Back then, her grandmother’s health was failing, and Raegan needed funds not only for her expenses but also for medical bills. Given the saturation of more common languages in the job market, she focused on mastering this lesser-known Language to ensure financial stability.
Raegan couldn’t help but feel grateful to Henley for this opportunity since she was preparing to study abroad and needed a lot of money.
In a soft tone, she said, “Henley, I’m sorry about today. You have done so much for me, and I shouldn’t take advantage of you for my benefit.”
Sensing her sincerity, Henley, initially hesitant to say anything, found himself impulsively asking, “Raegan, would you consider being my girlfriend?”
Raegan looked at him in surprise.
Wearing a faint smile, Henley clarified, “I mean, a real couple.”
Raegan was confused when she heard that. She couldn’t help but ask, “Don’t you already have someone in your heart?”
“I can’t be with her anymore. She is happy now, and I want to find my happiness too. Let’s give it a shot. What do you think?”
Henley was quite good at hiding things he wanted to hide.

his eyes were clean and pure.
This sudden confession left Raegan stunned.
But she assumed Henley wasn’t too keen on her and didn’t take his proposition seriously.
She politely declined, “I’m sorry, Henley. I’m not looking to be in a relationship right now. You are amazing, and you deserve someone better.”
“Raegan, don’t underestimate yourself. You excel in every aspect in my eyes.”
Henley’s words were open and sincere. He sounded like he truly appreciated her.
Before Raegan could respond, Henley continued with a smile, “As you venture onto a broader stage in the future, there will be plenty of men pursuing you. Don’t turn me down immediately. Give me time to prove myself. Then, you can decide whether to accept me or not.”
