Chapter 742

Despite her instinctive revulsion, Raegan's face remained unreadable, showing no signs of emotion, a submission that often attracted men.

Henley gently placed his hands on her shoulders, whispering harshly, “Don't worry. When you are with me, I will make sure that you and the girl are safe. Even if Janey isn't mine, I won't let her suffer.

Raegan felt nauseous and disgusted at Henley's words. She seemed to be saying, “You see, I'm even willing to accept your daughter despite everything. Isn't that enough?

For the first time, Raegan saw how far human evil could go, watching it sink repeatedly.

Surprisingly, Raegan didn't object. She looked him straight in the eye and whispered, “If you really love me, Henley, I need the truth. Did you kidnap Janey?

The question caught Henley off guard. It was the first time Raegan didn't ignore his declarations of love, which he loved. He gently ruffled her hair and whispered softly, "I didn't do it." At such a dangerous time, he wouldn't do something so reckless.

Raegan scanned his face to make sure he wasn't lying, then looked away.

Henley appreciated his obedient behavior and said softly, “Come to my house tonight…”

When Henley reached out to pull her closer, Raegan dodged. His face immediately darkened.

Raegan's face showed a mix of emotions as she said, "Henley, I need time to think..."

He remained distant, but the typical tension between them had noticeably disappeared.

Henley watched her for a moment before giggling. «Take your time, but remember that the crucial period to find someone is forty-eight hours. Time is running out..."

Raegan's face turned white at this reminder.

Henley brought her closer, speaking softly. «Why hesitate? I have promised to take care of you. My heart has belonged to you and only you for so long..."

Raegan trembled under his touch.

“Good…” Henley, pleased but not wanting to overwhelm her, gently turned her face towards him, looking at her affectionately. "I'll give you time... But don't take too long, okay?"

Exhaustion was evident in Raegan's eyes as she nodded softly.

Henley looked at her lovingly and whispered softly, "Do you want me to take you home?"

Raegan refused: "I'd rather be alone."

Henley didn't push and laughed softly. "OK". Despite Raegan's current resistance, they had plenty of time ahead of them. He was sure she would end up seeing him as her only option.

Manipulating others came naturally to him.

Walking together through the company hallway, Henley and Raegan unexpectedly ran into Matilda, who was looking for Henley.

Seeing him, he paused before saying, "Henley..."

Matilda then looked at Raegan, with a hint of warning in her eyes, considering Raegan's attractive figure and fragile appearance, which naturally aroused her sympathy.
