Chapter 480 Mitchel's face held a semblance of calm, yet Raegan noticed the shadows of fatigue darkening his eyes.

Immobilized by a tumult of emotions, Raegan felt Mitchel's arms encircle her gently, his chin finding a soft perch on her shoulder.

A whisper from Mitchel, heavy with weariness, broke the silence between them. "Raegan, I missed you.

Mitchel held Raegan close with a tender caution, as if he was mindful of her fragility, his touch light to avoid any discomfort.

Mitchel's consistent thoughtfulness toward her, even in his own distress, touched a deep chord within Raegan. Her heart went out to him, all the more because Erick had briefed her on the day's grim developments.

Raegan's heart into a flurry, compelling her to nod as though spellbound.

Sensing her assent, warmth unfurled in Mitchel's chest, a sensation akin to his heart being enfolded in the gentle embrace of soft cotton candy.

Mitchel then leaned in for a kiss, a slow melding of lips that spoke of shared moments and silent promises. Following their kiss, he teasingly nipped her lip, his voice husky.
