Chapter 1987: Chapter 1992

“Are you awake?” Stefan, who had stayed awake beside her the entire time, asked.

Raegan was slightly disoriented.

“Where am I?”

Amused by her charming confusion, Stefan gently answered, “You’re in the car.

”

“I’ve been in the car all this time?” Raegan was a bit astonished.

“From when I came back until now?”

“Yes, you fell asleep,” Stefan explained.

“How long have I been asleep?” Raegan asked.

“Over four hours.

”

Raegan was surprised! More than four hours? She had actually slept for that long…

“Stefan, why didn’t you wake me?” Raegan felt a bit embarrassed.

Stefan smiled.

“Victor mentioned you have difficulty sleeping in unfamiliar places, but you seemed to sleep so soundly after our walk that I decided to let you rest longer.

”

Raegan was moved by Stefan’s patience and kindness, realizing he had sat there for over four hours just to let her sleep comfortably.

He was truly considerate.

She softly said, “Stefan, you don’t need to go to such lengths for me next time.

I’m quite embarrassed by all this.

”

Erick had always advised Raegan to treat Stefan as her brother.

Erick and Stefan were sworn brothers, and Stefan had been treating Raegan nicely.

However, Raegan didn’t want to just play along with the pretense and genuinely saw Stefan as an elder brother, often directing him as such.

Stefan smiled warmly.

“I wasn’t being considerate.

I actually owe you thank you.

”

“Thank me? For what?” Raegan asked, looking at him curiously.

Stefan explained, “I’ve been buried in work lately, staying up late in my study and going to bed exhausted.

But tonight, because you fell asleep, I noticed how beautifully round and bright the moon has become.

”

Raegan turned her gaze toward the window, observing the stunning, jade-like full moon lighting up the quiet night.

It truly was mesmerizing.

Stefan’s soothing voice continued, “Thank you for giving me the chance to appreciate such a splendid moon tonight.

”

Stefan was always gentle, his words carrying both sophistication and charm.

Inspired by the radiant moonlight, Raegan’s mood improved.

Lately, the worry over her mother’s whereabouts had left her restless, disrupting her sleep and causing her to toss and turn until nearly morning each night.

Raegan knew that staying up late was harmful, especially during pregnancy, but anxiety only made sleep more unreachable.

The walk they had taken allowed her to sleep profoundly.
