After a brief pause, Jarrod said, âVery well, Iâll have the driver take you then.
â
Nicole shook her head.
âNo, Raegan is sending a car for me.
â
This seemed to comfort Jarrod slightly, knowing the Dixon familyâs vehicle would be secure.
âAlright, you can go then.
â Jarrod walked Nicole to the door and watched as she entered the car.
It was only when the vehicle pulled away and she was safely en route that Nicole allowed herself to relax.
Nicole had planned wisely.
Raeganâs Serenity Villa was not far, and after her earlier message, the Dixon family car had arrived right on time.
Nicole dialed Raeganâs number.
âRaegan, thank you.
Iâm on my way.
â
âDonât mention it.
Just promise me youâll inform me if anything comes up, okay?â Raegan expressed her concern.
She had recently learned about Nicoleâs marriage to Jarrod, a revelation that left her both shocked and worried.
âIâll take care of it,â Nicole stated calmly.
After a brief pause, Raegan cautiously advised, âNicole, dealing with someone like Jarrod might require a gentler approach.
Perhaps heâll be less troublesome, especially since youâre the mother of his child.
â
Nicole responded simply, âI understa nd.
â
It was clear to Nicole that Raeganâs advice was driven by genuine concern for her welfare.
âJust be cautious in all you do.
Remember, you have both my support and that of the entire Dixon family.
We are here for you,â Raegan added reassuringly.
Raegan knew Nicole had some kind of agreement with Jarrod and her own plans.
If sharing details was feasible, Nicole would.
Otherwise, Raegan respected her privacy.
True friendship was about caring for each otherâs well-being, not just exchanging gossip.
âIâm aware.
If I need help, Iâll reach out, like I did today,â
Nicole said.
âItâs no trouble at all.
Just make sure you look after yourself,â
Raegan encouraged.
âDonât worry.
I will,â Nicole replied, feeling a bit more reassured.
After the call ended, Raegan was lost in thought when her phone rang again.
âHello, darling,â she answered.
Sitting in his spacious office, Mitchel felt his fatigue dissipate at Raeganâs soft voice.
âWhat are you doing at home?â
âI just spent some time with the kids.
Theyâre playing independently now,â Raegan shared.
