Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 157

? ? ? ? ?

Seeing Mitchel's change in attitude, Alexis' demeanor softened and she told him seriously.

«You are my only son. “Everything I do, I do for the Dixon family, especially exploring the market.”

"Sure," Mitchel replied absently.

Alexis looked at his son, who was taller and prettier than him, and felt proud. He reached out to caress Mitchel's back, but Mitchel deftly dodged the gesture.

Annoyed by Alexis's duplicity, Mitchel said coldly, "If you don't have any other important business, don't bother coming here."

Alexis felt a sting at those words. This place was also his home.

Why would he be banned from entering?

In his eyes, Mitchel was too influenced by Luciana and Kyler to have no qualms about disrespecting his father.

But since Mitchel had agreed to attend the blind date, Alexis decided to let him be.

"OK. "I won't be here unless I have to."

Alexis was busy negotiating with the Benton family for a collaboration in the foreign market. If things went well, he could regain control of the Dixon Group.

When that time came, Mitchel would have to get in line, especially given his connection to Raegan. Alexis swore to himself that he would only support those who obeyed him.

The next morning, Raegan started cleaning Nicole's apartment. Nicole hadn't returned the night before. The truth was that Nicole rarely lived in this place.

Nicole had once half-jokingly told Raegan that this apartment was the last asset she had left, and that if she ever needed to run, she would sell it for quick money. Therefore, he welcomed Raegan.

Raegan knew it was Nicole's way of helping her. Since Nicole was against the idea of ​​Raegan staying somewhere else, Raegan insisted on paying market rate rent, stating that if Nicole refused to accept the money, she would find another place.

Finally, Nicole relented. He agreed to half the rent and share the house with Raegan.

Raegan was selling her own apartment. Two clients had shown interest, but their offers had not met their expectations.

Although she was eager to sell it, Raegan didn't want to sell her dream home at a low price. After all, he had chosen the location carefully and believed it deserved a fair value.

That afternoon, Henley asked Raegan out, saying that he would like to ask her a favor.

So, Raegan decided to leave early and pay a visit to Kyler at the hospital before meeting up with Henley.

Kyler's condition had been deteriorating, resulting in an extended stay in the hospital.

Seeing Raegan, Kyler's face lit up and he asked anxiously, "Why are you here alone? Where is Mitchel?

Raegan quickly racked her brain for an excuse.

"He's overwhelmed with work these days."

The truth was that I had intentionally chosen a time when Mitchel would be in the office to avoid any awkward encounters.

After chatting with Kyler, Raegan cautiously broached a sensitive topic.

Would you mind if Mitchel and I broke up sometime?

Kyler frowned.

Has that brat been giving you a hard time?

"No no. "I was just curious to know his reaction."

Raegan had been contemplating how to tell Kyler about the divorce.

He couldn't hide the truth from her forever.

To avoid any unnecessary involvement with Mitchel, he preferred to tell Kyler as soon as possible.

Kyler might be angry at first, but Raegan was confident that he would eventually understand her decision.

However, she decided not to tell him about the abortion, fearing that it would be too much for him, especially in his current state. For the moment, he had to find a more suitable explanation for the divorce.

«Don't be impulsive. If you and Mitchel have any misunderstanding, you must resolve it quickly. "You don't want to live regretting it."

Raegan was speechless.

Sensing something was on her mind, Kyler continued, “Raegan, I can handle more than you think. If something worries you, tell me. I will manage to help you.”

Tears welled in Raegan's eyes. He gently rested his face against the back of her hand and assured her, “I'm fine. My only wish is that you live a long, peaceful and happy life.

Kyler smiled warmly.

«Everyone has regrets in their life. Don't underestimate me. "I'm much stronger than you think."

Raegan sensed that Kyler might already know about her divorce or at least suspect something was wrong.

She and Mitchel hadn't visited him together in quite some time, which might have raised his suspicions.

With this in mind, Raegan began to reassure him: “I…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the living room opened, revealing Mitchel.

He must have met some important clients at work. Dressed impeccably in a suit, silver brooch and pink tie, he exuded the charm often used to describe emerging talent.

While Raegan continued to wonder why she had shown up at that hour, Mitchel walked up to her, grabbed her by the shoulders, and pulled her into his arms.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked casually, as if they were still the perfect couple they once were.

With Kyler watching, Raegan found it difficult to push Mitchel away and instead let him be.

"I'm afraid you are not available for the visit."

Mitchel squeezed his hand on her shoulder and replied, "No matter how busy I am, I'll manage to come here with you anyway."

His voice was soft, the complete opposite of those harsh words he had spoken the night before.

Raegan couldn't help but think how irresistible Mitchel could be whenever he was kind and gentle. Her charm made anyone fall in love with her, even her.

If it weren't for the suffering of her relationship and the loss of her baby, she might have fallen in love with him again.

During their half-hour visit, Raegan was visibly nervous about Mitchel's presence.

Sensing her discomfort, Mitchel hugged her tighter and stroked her shoulder with his thumb, making her blush even more.

Kyler sensed something was wrong and asked worriedly, “Raegan, are you okay? Why is your face so red?

Mitchel looked at her, his gaze full of affection.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little stuffy here," Raegan said.

Kyler didn't doubt his words and nodded.

"We old people tend to get cold, so the room may be a little warmer than outside."

The visit seemed to last forever for Raegan.

As soon as he left the room, he withdrew from Mitchel's embrace.

For her, the farce they had kept inside was suffocating.

When the elevator arrived, Raegan stepped inside and hurried to close the door.

However, Mitchel was faster and slid inside just in time.

As his familiar scent reached Raegan's senses, the scene of their kiss in the elevator flashed through her mind, making her flinch instinctively.

Mitchel looked at her with irony in his eyes and asked, “Where are you going? "I can take you."

"No, thanks. “I can handle myself,” Raegan replied dryly.

As he spoke, he pressed himself against the elevator wall to keep his distance from Mitchel.

Her past and his promise that she would return to him had left her numb with trauma.

All she wanted now was to get away from him.

Mitchel smiled mischievously.

«Calm down, Raegan. "I won't hurt you."

Her discomfort was palpable, as if being around him was unbearable.

"Don't get me wrong." Raegan turned her face, unable to meet Mitchel's intense gaze.

I didn't know what to say.

No matter how hard he tried, it seemed impossible to change Mitchel's mind.

Luckily, the elevator doors opened.

Raegan hurried out. Just as he was leaving, his phone rang with a call from Henley, which he answered immediately.

On the other side, Henley asked her where she was and offered to pick her up to go to their meeting.

Seeing that Mitchel still hadn't left, Raegan covered the phone and whispered, "I'm in a hospital."

Before she could finish, Mitchel pushed her against the wall and trapped her with his arm.

Raegan's eyes snapped open. Before she could react, Mitchel snatched the phone from her and told Henley, “Don't bother. I'll take her."
