Henley was really giving Raegan goosebumps now.

She didn't expect him to lean too close to her. His breathing became uneven, and his thin lips almost touched hers.

Raegan became even more vigilant. She instinctively moved away. Not wanting to provoke Henley, she pretended to be shy and said, “Let's go... Start the car first."

Henley looked at her flushed face, feeling warm in his heart. He really liked it when she blushed. He smiled contentedly and started the car.

When the car returned to the highway, Raegan couldn't help breathing a sigh of relief.

But the feeling of relief didn't last long. Immediately, she noticed that the direction they were heading became increasingly desolate again. Raegan had a feeling they were going away from Ardlens.

“Henley, this is not the way back. Do you have trouble remembering the right way?" Raegan commented.

"No," Henley replied, looking straight ahead with a smile. "This road is a shortcut going to your home."

Raegan was rendered speechless.

Finally, she realized he was talking about taking her home, not sending her home.

"So, where are we going?"

Raegan tried her best to remain calm. But her trembling voice betrayed her.

"Melver," Henley replied with a smile.

Raegan's face instantly turned pale upon hearing this.

In absolute disbelief, Raegan gasped. “Henley, have you lost your damn mind?"

With a serene smile, Henley replied, "“Raegan, I want to keep you by my side all the time. I seek nothing else here, only you."

"No!" Raegan cried out, her voice tinged with urgency. "Henley, I am married!"

These words subtly altered Henley's usually composed expression.

A faint twitch crossed his handsome face as he responded, "Raegan, your previous marriage doesn't concern me."

“It's not a previous one," Raegan clarified. "I've remarried Mitchel."
