Chapter 1036:

Stefan then looked at Raegan and suggested softly, "Let's go home."

“Mmmm.” Raegan agreed. His simple statement carried a tinge of dependency.

Raegan was deeply dependent on Stefan, like any loving couple.

Stefan's grip shifted to intertwining their fingers, and they stepped out side by side.

For a moment, Mitchel felt the desire to jump out of bed and separate them, to break their unity. Raegan had sworn to him that she would stay with him forever. However, now he took another man's hand and walked away without hesitation.

Mitchel tried to get up, but his legs were numb and unresponsive.

Now, he was unable to chase them.

“Bang!” The bedside lamp crashed to the floor.

This sharp noise reached Raegan's ears. She recognized that this really marked the end of their relationship.

He wanted to be brave, but the cost of bravery was often more than he could bear. He was just an ordinary person… Sometimes, one must accept the role of destiny.

The threats surrounding her and Mitchel had not ended with Katie's death and continued to lurk and intensify in the shadows.

Raegan had to prepare for the worst, ensuring that if she couldn't escape, at least her children would have their father. Parents played an invaluable role. At least Mitchel would be there for his children. If fate prevented them from being together, their greatest hope was Mitchel's safety and well-being.

As they walked, Raegan was unaware that tears had begun to stream down her face.

Stefan stopped in front of the car, put his hands on Raegan's shoulders and hugged her. "If you need to cry, go ahead," he murmured, looking at her hair. «No one is watching.

Raegan's shoulders shook as she finally let her guard down and cried freely.

It made Stefan sad to see her cry so much. He gently ran his fingers through her hair and whispered, “Why do you always have to be so strong? You don't have to fight battles alone.

He was the typical calm and dignified man, who rarely participated in such lighthearted jokes.

Raegan's spirits lifted a little at his words.

Stefan reassured her: “Don't worry. “I will be sure to check on the progress of your treatment.”

Stefan felt like he was falling short, that he wasn't as brave as Mitchel. Mitchel dared to pursue what she loved, while he was hesitant to express his feelings. He feared that expressing his feelings for Raegan might cause her to distance herself from him, leaving him in a worse state than he is now.

Raegan, having cried into her sweater, felt ashamed. "I'll tell Victor to buy you a new one."

Stefan thought that if she was the one buying it, she would appreciate it. He smiled and said: “No need. "It's just a sweater."

"Let's go home." He opened the car door for Raegan to enter.

As Stefan's car drove away, the silhouette in the living room window remained.
