Henley observed her for a moment before letting out a chuckle. "Take your time, but remember, the crucial period for finding someone is forty-eight hours. Time is running out..."

Raegan's face went white with this reminder.

Henley pulled her close, speaking softly. “Why hesitate? I've promised to take care of you. My heart has belonged to you and only you for so long..."

Raegan trembled under his touch.

“Fine... Henley, pleased yet not wanting to overwhelm her, gently turned her face toward him, gazing at her affectionately. "I'll give you time... But don't take too long, alright?"

Exhaustion was evident in Raegan's eyes as she gave a soft nod.

Henley gazed at her lovingly and whispered gently, “Do you want me to take you home?"

Raegan refused, "I prefer to be alone.”

Henley didn't push and chuckled softly. “Alright.” Despite Raegan's current resistance, they had plenty of time ahead of them. He was confident that she would eventually see him as her only option.

Manipulating others was second nature to him.

Seeing him, she paused before saying, “Henley...”

Then, Matilda looked at Raegan, a hint of warning in her eyes, considering Raegan's attractive figure and fragile appearance, which naturally prompted sympathy.

Matilda hadn't encountered Raegan before and was clueless about her identity. "Henley, who is she?" she asked.

Henley replied calmly, “My sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law... The very woman from the scandalous video! Matilda immediately stepped forward, gripping Henley's arm as if to mark her presence. “Hi there."

Raegan could hardly manage a smile and barely acknowledged Matilda'ss greeting. She swiftly made an excuse to depart, leaving the two.

A hint of awkwardness appeared on Matilda's face as she leaned against Henley, whispering, “Henley, why does it feel like she doesn't like me?"

Henley responded gently, “No, you're thinking too much.”

Matilda gazed at him, her expression uneasy. “But... It seems Like there's something between you two..."
