However, Jarrod remained silent, leaving Luis in a state of perplexity.
The other night, Jarrod had scoured every corner of Ardlens, yet there was no sign of Nicole.
It felt as though the entire experience had been nothing more than a dream.
Alec had suggested that Jarrod needed some rest or should consider seeing a doctor, but Jarrod remained resolute in his belief that he was not losing his sanity.
He was convinced that the woman he had seen was Nicole, and she was undeniably alive.
It couldnât have been a mere illusion.
The memory of the intense hatred in Nicoleâs eyes lingered in Jarrodâs mind, a stark reminder that she wouldnât let him off easily this time.
In response, Jarrod was prepared to comply with her wishes, whatever they may be.
In fact, he eagerly awaited the day when Nicole would choose to approach him on her own terms, firmly believing that she would do so sooner or later.
During the following week, Mitchel chose to give Raegan some space and didnât personally involve himself in her affairs.
Instead, his assistant, Matteo, handled the transfer of the Serenity Villas on Mitchelâs behalf.

Crescent specialized in custom-made high-end clothing and jewelry, providing customers with a one-stop shopping experience.
Advanced AI assistance enhanced the online shopping process, delivering a delightful experience to customers.
The grandeur and opulence of Crescentâs opening had the town of Ardlens buzzing with excitement.
Some even began comparing Crescent to the well-established Alpire Studio, a favored choice among celebrities and affluent families.
While Alpire Studio held its reputation as a trusted, time-honored brand, Crescentâs distinct style was marked by elegance and understatement, drawing inspiration from Raeganâs mother.
Raeganâs decision to return to Ardlens and establish Crescent was rooted in her desire to fulfill her motherâs dream.
In her determination to see that dream come to fruition, she spared no effort.
In the evening.
Raegan rushed to a restaurant to attend a dinner.
Due to the heavy traffic jam, she was a bit late when she arrived.
Tonight she was going to meet the head of some entertainment company to talk about a program.
If she was late for the first meeting, it would make a bad impression on the other party.
As she hurriedly made her way to the elevator, she noticed the doors were about to close and called out, âWait for me!â
The person inside the elevator paused upon hearing her voice, keeping the doors open.
Raegan quickly stepped inside, pressed the button for the fourteenth floor, and turned to express her gratitude, âThank you.
