Very good? What did Mitchel mean by that?

Jocelyn and Lauren exchanged a bewildered look, but neither dared to say a word. They couldn't understand what Mitchel was trying to say.

Finally, Mitchel broke the silence.

«A slap for every word. Kyle, do it exactly as I told you. Don't skip a single word.

"Mitchel!" Lauren shouted, her voice tinged with fear.

I was shocked. He never imagined that Mitchel would go to such lengths to defend Raegan. For her, hurting Jocelyn was like a slap in her own face.

If she let Mitchel hit Jocelyn, it would be impossible for Mitchel to match her. Therefore, I would not allow it. By no means!

Suddenly, with a loud crash, Jocelyn fell to her knees in front of Mitchel and implored, “Mr. Dixon, I know I was wrong. He had no right to bully Miss Hayes. Please, I beg you, forgive me.

"I don't think you understand." Mitchel fixed Jocelyn with a penetrating look, growing intense by the second, and continued, “Raegan is my wife. "No one can mess with her."

Although his voice sounded indifferent, it carried a lot of weight.

Lauren's expression changed in an instant. He sensed that Mitchel's words were not only intended to teach Jocelyn a lesson. He was also firing a warning shot at her.

Damn! This was all Raegan's fault!

At that moment, Lauren held back the fury and hate in her eyes and said through tears, “Mitchel, Jocelyn has been like a mother to me. He's been taking care of me since I was born. And he is already sixty years old. A slap could be dangerous for her. Is that what you want? Could you have some mercy?

Mitchel looked into Lauren's eyes, hers cold and unforgiving.

«Lauren, maybe it's time for you to change maid. Keeping her around could tarnish the Murray family name.

A look of shock, disbelief, and confusion crossed Lauren's face. She never thought that Mitchel, who had always met her every need, would ignore her pleas and say something so insensitive.

Did he no longer care?

Mitchel looked away and took Raegan's hand. Noticing Raegan's reddened palm, he frowned and asked worriedly, “Didn't I tell you to leave everything to me? Does it hurt? »

Caught off guard, Raegan was stunned for a few seconds and then shook her head in response.

"I'm fine. "It doesn't hurt me."

Mitchel cradled her hand with one hand and stroked her head with the other.

"Let's go home."

“Okay,” Raegan responded meekly.

He had a single lock of hair around his neck. With a gentle movement, Mitchel brushed the lock aside and, hand in hand, they walked away.

The sound of a slap rang out loudly as Jocelyn slapped her face, all under Kyle's watchful gaze. He had to hit himself hard to comply with Mitchel's stipulations. He didn't dare spare his strength, not with his son's future at stake.

As Mitchel and Raegan disappeared into the distance, a feeling like a knife stabbing into her heart washed over Lauren. Still, she was sure.

Mitchel wouldn't abandon her.

Bang! Suddenly, Lauren jumped out of her wheelchair as if she intended to chase Mitchel, but seemed to lose her balance and fell to the ground. He looked pathetic.

«Mitchel…

»Lauren lamented.

She was convinced that her distressed state would cause him to return to her.

As Lauren expected, Mitchel stopped dead.

He looked at Raegan, let go of her hand, and said, "Wait a second."

With that, he quickly walked towards Lauren.

As Lauren lay on the floor with her eyes filled with tears, she watched as Mitchel approached her. From the looks of it, his trick had worked.

He suppressed a satisfied smile and whimpered, "Mitchel... It hurts..."

It hurts a lot..."

To sell the act, he had dropped hard. Now, with her elbow scraped and bleeding, she looked really miserable.

Mitchel didn't hesitate. He squatted down, lifted Lauren off the ground, and ordered Kyle to open the car door for them.

As she clung to his neck, Lauren shot a triumphant smile at Raegan, who was standing behind them. He looked at Raegan with contempt. It was as if she was bragging to Raegan that she had won Mitchel's heart because he would never leave her side.

A strong wind was blowing outside and Raegan felt her hand, which Mitchel had just warmed, become cold again.

She stood there like an intruder. She saw with her own eyes how much Mitchel cared about Lauren. Of course, he also noticed the smug smile on Lauren's face, nestled in his arms.

If this had happened before, his heart would have broken into a thousand pieces.

But now, he felt strangely indifferent.

Maybe it was because she had given it her all, or maybe she had gotten used to Mitchel's absence for Lauren's sake. In any case, perhaps it was for the best.

Raegan hugged herself against the cold, turned around, and walked off alone.

When she got home, she was so exhausted that she went upstairs and walked over to the suitcase she had already packed.

Just as she grabbed the handle, a large hand stopped her.

The next thing he felt was a strong squeeze on his waist from behind.

“Where are you going?” Mitchel's deep voice echoed above his head.

Raegan was stunned to hear him. Hadn't he just left to be with Lauren?

Mitchel squeezed Raegan's waist tightly and turned her to face him. His eyes were half-closed and he seemed deeply thoughtful.

“Looks like I have to find a way to keep you here.”

Otherwise, Raegan would probably run away at any moment. As for Mitchel, well, he wasn't shy about his desire to keep her close.

Raegan instinctively took a step back and looked him straight in the eyes.

«What that maid said was true. I scolded Lauret for playing the role of mistress. "If you feel bad for her, you should go comfort her."

He didn't like lying. Furthermore, he never had any intention of denying his actions or his words.

If Mitchel wanted to punish her for it, so be it.

However, Mitchel's eyes were like a bottomless lake, impossible to read.

Without waiting for his response, Raegan grabbed the handle of the suitcase again. Being in a stalemate with him was torture.

Just as she was about to take a step, Mitchel grabbed her chin, pulled her towards him, and planted a forceful kiss on her lips.

For a moment, Raegan felt like she couldn't breathe.

Mitchel's kisses had always been intense, reflecting his assertive and dominant nature, even in the bedroom.

In the end, Raegan had had enough. Her face flushed, she pushed against him with all her strength.

Mitchel loosened his grip and asked, "Is that enough for you?"

“What are you talking about?” Raegan replied, bewildered.

"Does this satisfy you?" Mitchel's voice was rough but clear and pleasant to the ear.

This momentarily hypnotized Raegan. Soon after, his face turned red as a tomato.

Mitchel's eyes sparkled. He quickly grabbed her wrist, pinned her against the door, and resumed what he had just done.

Before locking lips with her again, he whispered, "If you ever think of running away again, I'll make sure you can't walk."

“Hmm… Enough…”

However, their protests fell on Mitchel's deaf ears. Her soft lips were completely sealed by his, and their lips and tongues tangled.

Raegan was mumbling incoherently.

Finally, Mitchel broke the kiss.

Raegan, however, was a little worse for wear. Her blouse was messy and subtle kiss marks adorned her collarbone. He felt his cheeks burning with shame.

As for Mitchel, desire seemed to be reflected in his eyes. He picked up Raegan and moved back to sit on the bed. Instead of putting her down, he continued to hug her.

In that position, their faces were almost at the same height, allowing him to nibble on her earlobe.

The moment his lips came into contact with the tender skin of her ear, Raegan felt something like ants crawling through her heart. It felt ticklish and it was too intense to bear.

She pressed her hands against his shirt and pulled away slightly, but she couldn't hide the flash of panic in her eyes.

Mitchel sensed his concern. He put his hand on the back of her neck and pulled her gently but insistently.

When Raegan looked away, he focused on the vulnerable skin just below her ear and sucked on it with deliberate force. At the same time, his chest collided with hers as if he wanted to punish her.

This made Raegan's face blush, but she didn't dare move.

Her only option was to wrap her arms around his neck and hold on to him.

At that moment, the buzzing of a telephone broke the electrical tension between them.

Annoyed, Mitchel thought about ignoring him.

However, when Raegan saw Kyle's name flash on the screen, she nudged him gently.

"It's Kyle."

With a raised eyebrow, Mitchel picked up the call and heard Kyle's anxious voice on the other end.

"Mr. Dixon, Miss Murray has fainted."
