Chapter 419:

Brian placed a hand on her shoulder, giving it a light pat.

Initially, he was going to pull away and tell her to rest early, but when his gaze landed on Rachel, he changed his mind.

For a brief moment, he found himself wondering—would she turn around? Did she care?

Rachel caught their reflection in the large mirror across the room. They were still hugging.

She couldn’t deny it—they looked like they fit together perfectly. Natalia’s small frame seemed even more delicate in Brian’s arms, while his towering figure wrapped around her effortlessly.

As their conversation carried on, Rachel found she couldn’t stand it anymore. Without a word, she turned and walked to the bathroom. She splashed cold water on her face, letting the chill jolt her awake.
