She softly said, "Stefan, you don't need to go to such lengths for me next time. I'm quite embarrassed by all this."

Erick had always advised Raegan to treat Stefan as her brother.

Erick and Stefan were sworn brothers, and Stefan had been treating Raegan nicely.

However, Raegan didn't want to just play along with the pretense and genuinely saw Stefan as an elder brother, often directing him as such.

Stefan smiled warmly. “I wasn't being considerate. I actually owe you thank you."

"Thank me? For what?" Raegan asked, looking at him curiously.

Stefan explained, "I've been buried in work lately, staying up late in my study and going to bed exhausted. But tonight, because you fell asleep, I noticed how beautifully round and bright the moon has become."

Raegan turned her gaze toward the window, observing the stunning, jade-like full moon lighting up the quiet night. It truly was mesmerizing.

Stefan's soothing voice continued, "Thank you for giving me the chance to appreciate such a splendid moon tonight."

Stefan was always gentle, his words carrying both sophistication and charm.

Inspired by the radiant moonlight, Raegan's mood improved. Lately, the worry over her mother's whereabouts had left her restless, disrupting her sleep and causing her to toss and turn until nearly morning each night.

Raegan knew that staying up late was harmful, especially during pregnancy, but anxiety only made sleep more unreachable. The walk they had taken allowed her to sleep profoundly.

After leaving the car, they walked back to the villa.

Before heading upstairs, Stefan paused. “Raegan, right now your primary concern should be the baby. Leave the search for your mother to Erick and me. Don't worry. You're in good hands. Furthermore, if your mother knew you were Losing sleep over her, she would feel sad. The best gift you can give her is to take care of yourself."

Stefan's advice resonated deeply, and Raegan nodded. "I understand. I'll try to manage my emotions better."

Stefan offered a reassuring smile. “Tomorrow, once I finish work, let's go for another walk, but this time, make sure you don't fall asleep in the car. Get a proper night's sleep on your bed."

Raegan agreed. The walk seemed to have a beneficial effect, as she now felt an urge to take a bath and head straight to bed.

Raegan headed upstairs, took a bath, and climbed into bed.

Just as she was settling down to sleep, her phone began to ring.

Raegan glanced at her phone as it rang and saw Bryce's name flash on the screen. Answering the call, she began, "Hello, Bryce..."
