She suddenly stopped talking because Davey leaned over with his face very close to hers.

Davey grasped Casey's waist firmly with his large hand and kissed her deeply.

"Mmm..." Casey's eyes sparkled with a seductive charm, radiating a mature beauty.

After a passionate, deep kiss, Davey let go of Casey, who was gasping for air.

"Casey..." He softly uttered her name, gazing down at her with affection. "Remember, in this world, I am the only one who will never deceive you."

Casey had just caught her breath and was about to speak when he kissed her again, resuming their passionate embrace...

After the ceremony.

As Erick had recommended, Raegan stayed safely within Stefan's villa, not going anywhere else. The dynamics in Aurora were complex, and the Clifford family's manor was the safest place for her.

Luckily, Stefan enjoyed privacy, and his villa was located in the far north. This meant Raegan did not need to interact with other members of the Clifford family.

Stefan's father had explicitly ordered that Raegan be left undisturbed, allowing her to rest and prepare for childbirth in peace.

Erick, meanwhile, remained in Aurora, covertly searching for Casey.

Although a week had passed since the gifts were sent out, there had been no response.

The gifts were straightforward, consisting of gold items and various luxurious celebratory objects.

The real secret was in the unassuming silk sash wrapped around them.

The embroidery and calligraphy subtly informed Casey that Raegan was now in Aurora.

This present was actually a test, with hidden signals in the embroidery that only Casey and Raegan could interpret.

After a calm week, on this fine day, Raegan planned to take a walk after lunch. Now six months pregnant, she couldn't stay confined indoors continually, as her doctor had advised her to get some exercise.

However, with numerous spies from the Clifford family around, Raegan was cautious and generally avoided wandering around.

Raegan and Stefan resided in different rooms within the villa, with her upstairs and him downstairs, maintaining their disguise.

For the first three days, they didn't even step outside.
