Mitchel then gently lifted her arm from the door, pulling Raegan into her embrace.

In a soft tone, he added, "Just as you are worried about the woman with the camera, I face my own insecurities." Henley knew you from school, and Stefan was by your side for the last five years. Those were the days I was absent from your life. That's why I'm jealous. Do you see where I'm going?

Raegan's posture tensed. This vulnerability was a side of Mitchel that I hadn't seen before. His displays of jealousy, it seemed, had deeper roots. Despite being hurt by his past actions, her heart softened at his downcast expression.

Mitchel, interpreting his silence as continued displeasure, promised: "From now on, I will consult you everything, no jumping to conclusions. I'll work on curbing my jealousy, okay?

He did not promise to completely eliminate his jealousy. He knew it was asking too much of himself. His sense of possessiveness was too ingrained.

Raegan, who had been quite angry, felt her anger pass. His tone softened. "I've prepared quite a few dishes tonight."

Mitchel's face lit up with hope. «I apologize. I'll eat them now."

«Don't bother. "Everything has gone cold."

"No problem. I haven't eaten much today. "I had neglected dinner the night before." Their meals had been limited to a cup of coffee and some wine in the evening. His agitation had left him without appetite.

Raegan's worry grew. "Haven't you eaten anything?"

«Well… I was quite upset…». Mitchel replied, sounding slightly aggrieved. "How would I have the appetite to eat without you by my side?"

Raegan was about to correct Mitchel, but decided it wasn't worth it. She was tired of picking on every little thing he did. "Let's go in and I'll prepare something else for you."

When Mitchel entered the room, he saw the table full of plates and his expression turned grim. It was clear that Raegan had prepared a lot for this. However, he had disappointed her, which was unforgivable.

Knowing that Mitchel had not eaten for almost two days, Raegan decided to prepare a comforting meal for him.

After adding the noodles to the pot, Raegan lowered the heat to make the noodles softer.

As soon as the noodles were served, Mitchel quickly devoured them. He even seemed eager to eat more.

Raegan said: “No more for now. Give your stomach some time to digest.”

It was late and Raegan didn't want to call the maid to do the dishes. He cleared the table and prepared to wash the dishes.

At that moment, Mitchel walked over to the sink and started scrubbing.

Its tall stature made the sink seem short in comparison, creating a slightly uncomfortable but cozy and pleasant atmosphere.

With everything finished, it seemed like there was nothing more to do.

But Mitchel lingered and asked gently, "Can I check on Janey?"

Raegan agreed and began to take off her apron, accidentally tightening the knot.

Mitchel offered to help, his voice deep. "Allow me".

As Mitchel deftly undid the knot, his fingers occasionally brushed Raegan's neck, making her shiver slightly.

The way she faced the wall while he stood behind her gave off a daring vibe.

Raegan began to breathe quickly.

"Why are your ears so red?" Mitchel asked with a soft chuckle.

His lazy laugh resonated like the deep notes of a cello, filling every corner and sinking into Raegan's skin. It wasn't just his ears.

His neck also blushed. "Are you finished?" he asked.

"Yeah". Mitchel took off his apron and laid it casually on the kitchen counter.

Raegan was speechless.

Mitchel's intense gaze, reminiscent of a nocturnal creature, made Raegan's cheeks heat up. “You should leave after seeing Janey.”

After seeing Janey, Mitchel hesitated at the door, not quite ready to leave. "When could I spend the night here?"

Raegan felt her cheeks burn. "Only in your dreams."
