? ? ? ? ?

Henley's voice sounded at the door.

Raegan immediately panicked. I felt like my heart was in my throat.

She was about to tell Henley that she wasn't home when he continued, "I'm sorry if I came too soon." But I asked Nicole and she told me you were home. Don't worry. If you just woke up, take your time.

Wash first. "I'll wait for you at the door."

Raegan trembled suddenly. His scalp had gone numb and he felt like all the blood was rushing to his head.

“Okay… Ah…”

Raegan hastily covered her mouth as the voice that came to her sounded abnormal. He quickly hung up the phone.

She pushed Mitchel aside and straightened her disheveled pajamas. Then, she looked at him and raised her hand, wanting to slap him hard.

Raegan was so angry she wanted to destroy Mitchel.

What kind of person would do something like that first thing in the morning, when they were on the phone?

But before her palm fell on Mitchel's face, he grabbed her wrist.

Mitchel looked at her with mysterious eyes.

«Only my wife has the right to hit me. Are you sure you want to do it?

Hearing this, Raegan quickly removed her hand from his grasp.

I didn't want to hit him anymore, or even touch him.

But what he did only made Mitchel even angrier. He scoffed: “What now? Are you afraid? "I thought you were more capable."

The way he looked at her and the tone of his voice made her feel like he was accusing her of cheating on him.

Now, Raegan was even more convinced that every time she was with Mitchel, she lost control of herself.

This was not good for her, so she had to do everything she could to change it.

They were no longer a married couple, so he should not let himself be carried away by his emotions anymore.

Raegan smiled and said, “Mr. Dixon, don't get me wrong. The man out there is not someone else. It's Henley, my boyfriend.

«Oh, yes? If he's your boyfriend, why are you flirting with me?

Mitchel smiled and added, "Raegan, are you that dissolute?"

Raegan was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly. But there was something that confused her more.

«Mr. Dixon, I really don't understand it. Why does it keep bothering me?

He looked at Mitchel and blinked his almond-shaped eyes several times. It was as if she had discovered a secret that he didn't dare admit.

"Wait! Don't tell me... Did you fall in love with me after we divorced?

In the past, she didn't believe him when he said he loved her.

But now, he began to doubt it.

The atmosphere in the room froze instantly.

Mitchel pressed his thin lips tightly together. He didn't speak for a long time. And his silence said it all.

In fact, he didn't want to speak because his self-love and pride would not allow him to fail and be humiliated again.

The corners of Raegan's lips twitched slightly. Mr. Dixon, is it so embarrassing to admit that you love me? Don't worry. "I promise I won't laugh at you."

Mitchel looked at her and his lips moved slightly. He seemed to want to say something.

However, Raegan spoke again.

"Because your love is too cheap, and I don't care."

The damage was already done for her. Wasn't it ridiculous to talk about love now?

Furthermore, even if he truly loved her, she believed that he would never be a loyal life partner.

But anyway, who was the real culprit? Who was to blame for all the pain he had experienced?

If she didn't love Mitchel so much, she wouldn't be so hurt, right?

So now, Raegan didn't want to blame anyone anymore. And what was more important, he did not want or dare to fall in love with Mitchel again.

Raegan got up, grabbed clothes from the closet, and went to the bathroom to change. When he came out, he saw that Mitchel had already changed clothes.

As she looked at him, she blinked several times, thinking he was a rogue.

Matteo brought him some clothes, but he refused to wear them the night before.

Even though Mitchel didn't sleep well last night, there was no sign of fatigue in him. Her sunken eyes were still charming and her facial features delicate. In terms of appearance, there was probably no man in all of Ardlens who could compare to him.

But even so, he was still an idiot.

Raegan didn't want to talk to Mitchel anymore. Besides, he still had something to take care of.

Before leaving, he said, “Mr. Dixon, please don't forget to close the door when you leave. AND…"

He paused before continuing: “Don't come back again. "I like this place and I don't want to move again."

Raegan had long ago decided to completely sever her connection with Mitchel. So he had to finish it at once. I didn't want to have any relationship with him.

Mitchel looked at Raegan coldly. The pain in his heart was reflected in his eyes.

Had she really abandoned him completely? Did you no longer feel anything for him?

Raegan walked past Mitchel and was about to leave. But suddenly he grabbed her wrist.

"You're right. I think I fell in love with you a long time ago. And you know that once I'm sure about something, I don't change my mind.

Mitchel reached out, caressed Raegan's delicate face, and said clearly, “Don't keep avoiding me. I will haunt you the rest of my life. You will never be able to escape from me.

Raegan was stunned. He was left speechless.

She didn't expect him to still admit his true feelings for her after she had provoked and humiliated him.

He stood looking at it in silence for a long moment. Then he finally said, “Are you crazy?”

A moment ago, Raegan still wanted to brag in front of him. But now, such desire had disappeared. Even his hair stood on end.

What the hell was he talking about?

«Why do you look so surprised? Did you just realize now? Mitchel asked nonchalantly.

Raegan was now truly speechless. The Mitchel in front of him gave him goosebumps.

He knew how capable he was. But he had never used his methods on her.

«Mitchel, don't be ridiculous. Do you think I'll come back to you after you confess how you feel about me?

Raegan's body was shaking, and she wasn't sure if it was because of anger or fear. She said, "Let me make it clear to you. I will not return to your side even if the sky falls.

"Okay, if you say so."

Mitchel sounded very indifferent. It was as if Raegan's words were nothing to him. It seemed like his arrogance had returned.

His eyes were full of mockery, he seemed to laugh at Raegan for biting off more than he could chew.

"Someday you will beg me to come back to you."

Raegan's hands shook violently. I could only look at that arrogant and rude man without words.

Mitchel chuckled. Then he opened the door and walked out, not caring about bumping into Henley.

Henley was too stunned to react. I didn't expect that as soon as the door opened, Mitchel would be the first person I would see.

Henley only came to her senses when Mitchel greeted him casually and said pointedly, "Remember, don't wake her up so early next time."

Mitchel turned to Raegan and lifted her chin with his index finger. He looked at her face carefully and said, "Don't forget to apply the ointment."

After saying this, he turned around and left without looking back, ignoring the expressions on Raegan and Henley's faces.

Raegan was speechless.

There was only one thought in his mind. And Mitchel must be a demon from hell.

Henley looked at Raegan awkwardly for a moment. Then he coughed and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

That's when Raegan came to. He remembered that he had planned to go out to breakfast with Henley and explain why he had left suddenly the other day.

But now he was no longer in the mood.

Raegan invited Henley to breakfast, but they didn't talk much at the table.

After eating, Henley volunteered to clear the table and wash the dishes. Then, he joined Raegan in the living room.

"You

Tiiso0»

They spoke at the same time.

After exchanging glances, Raegan said, "You first."

Henley looked at her face, blinked, and asked, "Are you... you and Mitchel... are you going to get back together?"
