Chapter 1688: Chapter 1693

Raegan stayed composed.

“Henley, drop your wicked plans, and I won’t go after you.

”

Henley finally got it.

“Why?” As Henley stood up straight again, his face showed his bewilderment.

“I love you as much as Mitchel did.

I can give you everything he could, and more.

Why can’t you love me?”

Raegan’s smile was faint.

“You are not him.

”

In this world, no one could take Mitchel’s place in Raegan’s heart.

After all, Mitchel had loved Raegan without conditions and had already sacrificed his life for her.

After leaving the Dixon Group headquarters, Matteo shared as they walked, “Our men went to get Beuford, but he mysteriously disappeared the day before yesterday.

Mr.

Dixon had been keeping men around to protect Beuford.

With everything that’s happening, it seems likely someone took the chance to kidnap Beuford.

It looks like he might have met a bad end.

”

Raegan thought quickly about the situation.

“Keep searching,” she ordered.

As they neared their vehicle, Matteo stopped, his voice carrying a note of fear.

“Do you really think Mr.

Dixon is still alive?”

Steadily, Raegan met his look.

“He’ll return.

Mitchel had promised me he wouldn’t leave me.

”

At that moment, Matteo saw in Raegan, once someone he thought of as delicate and needing protection, a strong resemblance to Mitchel.

They both had a tough and steadfast spirit.

Matteo started to believe more in Raegan’s words.

Sometimes, just having hope was what one needed to hold onto.

As Matteo got into the car and was about to start it, a knock came on the window.

Turning, he was met with the unexpected sight of Luciana.

He quickly got out of the car.

“What brings you here?”

Luciana waved her hand lightly.

“I want a word with Raegan.

”

Raegan stepped out of the car with graceful politeness.

Luciana looked at Raegan and then down at the ground, pausing before she asked, “May I see Janey?”

Raegan shook her head and said, “I’m not ready to let you meet Janey yet.

”

A look of disappointment passed over Luciana’s face.

She paused for a moment and then asked, “Can I just watch her from afar?”

Initially, Raegan wanted to refuse, but she couldn’t bring herself to say so.

Despite Luciana’s past behavior toward her, Luciana’s affection for Mitchel had never waned.

After a moment’s contemplation, Raegan agreed.

Raegan went inside the studio to fetch Janey, as Luciana’s car stopped at the curb.

As Raegan reappeared, Janey’s tiny hand clasped in hers, Luciana was struck by how much Janey resembled Mitchel.

Janey had gotten the best of both Raegan and Mitchel and blossomed into a beautiful girl.
