âOkay, Iâm going back now,â Raegan announced, breaking the silence.
She had been leaning against Mitchelâs shoulder all this time.
It felt so comfortable that she fell asleep for a while.
She was way too unguarded around him.
When Mitchel heard this, his arm around her waist tightened.
He held her closer and whispered, âYou said nine oâclock.
We still have five minutes.
â
Raegan was rendered speechless.
He was really counting every minute with her.
Mitchel stared straight at Raegan unblinkingly.
His eyes were intense.
It was as if he couldnât get enough of looking at her.
Raeganâs earlobes suddenly turned hot, and her heart began to beat faster.
She couldnât help asking, âCan you stop staring at me?â

âI Like youâ¦â Mitchel reached out, held her pinkish face with his long and slender fingers, and traced the contours of her face.
Despite having heard his confession multiple times, Raegan would still blush at this.
Her skin felt a bit itchy from his tickling.
She gently pushed his hand away and said, âHands off.
â
As Raegan pulled back, Mitchelâs fingers accidentally brushed against her lips.
He felt their softness and sweetness, which were very tempting.
His eyes darkened at once.
He could no longer restrain himself, so he lowered his head slightly and pressed his lips against hers.
He deliberately didnât deepen the ki*s.
He only pressed his Lips against hers gently.
It was as if she was a precious treasure.
His movements were intimate and filled with tenderness and love.
âHmm .
Raegan subconsciously moaned.
Her face was as red as cherries.
But before she could totally lose her last bit of sanity, she tried pushing him away.
However, Mitchel suddenly lowered his head and nuzzled against her neck, whispering, âRaegan, I canât live without you.
â
Raeganâs heart trembled, and she was at a loss for words.
While she was grappling with a reply, he confessed, âEvery time you ignore me, I donât feel like sleeping or eating.
I was like a walking dead.
So, please, donât leave me.
â
Mitchelâs eyes were a little downcast, and his words were filled with worry.
The thought that he couldnât win Raeganâs heart despite his efforts dreaded him deeply.
Raegan was too shocked to react.
At first, she thought she had heard it wrong.
But it couldnât be.
Mitchel always exuded superiority and arrogance.
But this time, there was a hint of subservience and helplessness in his eyes.
Raeganâs heart skipped a beat.
It seemed he really liked her.
Despite the eagerness Raegan saw in his eyes, she still couldnât bring herself to agree to his proposal.
Aside from her family members, she considered other people just passers-by in her life.
She didnât feel like overpromising.
After all, people came and went.
So, even if she knew he would be disappointed, she could not promise him anything.
Raegan met Mitchelâs expectant gaze, her lips trembling.
She hesitated before she finally said, âIâm going home now.
â
A trace of bitterness crept across Mitchelâs face.
His eyes darkened but enigmatic.
He knew it wasnât easy to move her.
But still, he couldnât help feeling bitter at her words.
He smiled wryly and nodded.
âAlright.
Iâll walk you home.
â
Raegan wanted to say he didnât need to walk her home because it wasnât too far.
Besides, he hadnât fully recovered yet.
But before she could open her mouth, Mitchel had already gotten out of the car and walked around to open the door for her.
