With a smile, Raegan said, “Thanks for your care, Mrs. Dixon."

“Please, just call me Luciana. We're family." Luciana smiled at her.

Heat filled Raegan's cheeks. Raegan liked Luciana. However, at the thought that she wouldn't be Luciana's daughter-in-law soon, her mood dampened and felt a bit awkward.

Noticing Raegan's hesitation, Luciana didn't take offense. She just held Raegan's left hand and said, "You have no idea how happy I was when I realized you were my daughter-in-law. Jodi can't keep still.

She's always on the go, so I get pretty lonely. I always dreamed of having a quiet daughter. Little did I know that my wish would be granted so soon."

Hearing this, Raegan didn't want to let Luciana know about her upcoming divorce with Mitchel. She smiled shyly and uttered, "Luciana."

"That's my good girl!" Luciana said excitedly. Smiling brightly, she took a refined jade bracelet off her hand and put it on Raegan's wrist without hesitation.

"I've been wearing this bracelet for forty years. It suits you perfectly."

"No please, take it back. It means a lot to you. I can't take it.

Raegan had intended to say she and Mitchel were about to part ways.

But she couldn't bring up the divorce now because she didn't want to disappoint Luciana.

Taking Raegan's hand in both of hers, Luciana said softly, "Raegan, my heart broke when I saw you hold that knife with your bare hand.

I wondered how much hardship you faced to make you able to face danger head-on like that. At that moment, I just wanted to hold you like a baby and comfort you. Please don't say no. Just see it as a normal gift to you. Let me take good care of you."

Raegan's heart melted.

Never had she been told such words. She was forced to act like an adult since she was a child because her weak and old grandmother required her care.

After a tough childhood, she happened to fall for an uncaring Mitchel and did all the work just to maintain the relationship.

As a result, she had long forgotten how it felt to be loved and taken care of.

This was all new to her, but it made her heart so warm.

Tears welled up in Raegan's eyes again. She sobbed.

“Thank you."
