Should Raegan stop Mitchel? That would mean that they had reconsidered their agreement. In that case, all his efforts would be in vain.

Raegan didn't want that. Therefore, despite the discomfort, he turned his head and declared, “There is still an hour and a half.”

Mitchel turned her head to look at him and asked in a hoarse voice tinged with displeasure, "Are you sure?"

Raegan pursed her lips. Although her eyes were brimming with tears, she was determined not to give in.

Meanwhile, Mitchel couldn't help but smile as he looked at her blushing face.

But it wasn't a happy smile.

Raegan tensed and a foreboding feeling washed over her. Even Mitchel's hands on her waist felt colder.

As expected, his smile disappeared and he said coldly, “As you wish.”

And his movements intensified. Raegan didn't want to make a sound and grabbed the railing with one hand.

Mitchel kept his word and continued until the last minute. When they were done, he took her to the bathroom.

Raegan didn't think about anything else. After washing up, he returned to his room, and Mitchel was nowhere to be seen.

He had kept his promise.

I was too exhausted to think about where I was. As soon as she lay down on the pillow, she fell asleep.

Raegan woke up to Nicole's knocking in the middle of the day. As soon as she opened the door, Nicole wrapped her in a hug and exclaimed, "Honey, I'm starving."

Raegan helped Nicole sit up.

"One moment. I'll prepare something for you."

Once Nicole was seated, Raegan opened the window to air out the room.

There was a faint smell of sex in the air and I was afraid Nicole would notice it.

Raegan looked around the room. He hoped the events of the previous night had caused chaos, from the railing to the bed. But everything was impeccable, even the trash can.

Two hours and two rounds had not been enough for Mitchel.

With Nicole sleeping in the next room last night, Raegan was too anxious to make noise. But Mitchel kept urging her to moan with pleasure. Unable to hold out any longer, he agreed.

Luckily, Nicole was fast asleep. Otherwise, the thin walls would have failed to muffle the sounds.

«Why are there so many petals outside? Who sent you those flowers?

And why are they scattered? Nicole asked curiously.

Raegan's face turned red with embarrassment and she explained dryly, "They're from Henley. "I accidentally threw them away."

When Raegan entered the living room, she saw several boxes of takeout on the table, neatly arranged.

He assumed Nicole had asked for them. So he cleaned up the scattered petals and prepared the table for eating.

As they ate, Raegan wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

Finally, after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Nicole, how have you been lately?"

“I… I'm fine,” Nicole responded as nonchalantly as possible.

She didn't want to burden Raegan with her problems and preferred to bear them alone.

Since Nicole didn't want to talk about it, Raegan didn't push and just held her hand.

«If you ever need someone by your side, I am just a call away. I want you to share your problems, not just your joys. "I will always be by your side."

Moved, Nicole felt like crying.

«I know you care about me. But believe me, I won't let myself be defeated easily.

"I have faith in you."

Nicole placed a piece of meat on Raegan's plate and commented, “Raegan, it seems like you earn a lot. You've even ordered takeout from Moon Restaurant. I have to say they are delicious.

Raegan blinked in surprise.

"That?"

Nicole seemed equally perplexed.

«Aren't these dishes worth more than ten thousand? We don't need to be so extravagant. Your cooking is just as good, if not better.”

Hearing this, Raegan was taken aback.

If Nicole wasn't the one who ordered the takeout, then it had to be Mitchel.

Was this his way of saying goodbye?

Did it mean he would keep his promise and leave her alone?

The next week was quiet for Raegan.

Bryce attended his four weekly classes without incident. Although selfless, he refrained from misbehaving.

However, Raegan had a feeling that she had yet to do something bad.

For some reason, she felt like he was waiting to deliver a decisive blow on Friday.

On Thursday, Raegan was available and Nicole invited her out shopping.

While the two were enjoying ice cream at a dessert shop, Nicole, whose attention was on her phone, suddenly gasped and exclaimed, “Damn! Is that bastard Mitchel about to get into a marriage of convenience?

Marriage of convenience? Mitchell?

Raegan choked on her ice cream and coughed uncontrollably.

Nicole calmed Raegan's back and commented, "That bastard Mitchel, he's barely divorced and he's already with the eldest daughter of the Benton family every day!" Thank goodness you left it. With Lauren gone and Eloise involved, he has no shortage of options.

Raegan had calmed down, but her sadness surfaced when she heard the news.

In just a week, Mitchel had announced his marriage. What mattered was that he kept his promise not to meddle in her life anymore.

Noticing Raegan's grim expression and ashen face, Nicole asked worriedly, "Raegan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. "I just choked on the ice cream," Raegan assured him. In an instant, his expression returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

But Nicole wasn't convinced. She grabbed Raegan's arm and suggested, "Let's go buy nice clothes and have a good time."

As they struck up a conversation, they entered a boutique.

Nicole instantly chose a dark green cashmere coat and a white dress. He handed them to Raegan and urged her, “Try them on.”

Just by looking at the fabric, Raegan could tell they were expensive.

Considering his debts and the expenses of his upcoming studies abroad, it was not practical for him to indulge.

Despite this, Nicole pressured her to try them on.

"No one else can wear this color like you."

Although reluctant, Raegan eventually agreed to try on the clothes.

Once dressed, both the clerk and Nicole looked at Raegan with wide-eyed shock.

Nicole leaned close to her and whispered, “See, you're the only one who can make this dress and this coat look so elegant. You have the aura of high society.

Raegan's natural bearing shined through, making her seem as if she came from a more than ordinary background.

And in expensive clothes, he looked even more elegant.

The shop assistant also complimented Raegan: “Miss, this outfit fits you perfectly. She is radiant in these clothes. The dark green looks even better on her than on our magazine models.

Raegan admitted that she was dazzled by the clothes. Like any girl, she wanted to look good. But the price brought her back to reality.

He couldn't afford such a luxury at the moment.

With a heavy sigh, he shook his head and murmured, "I'll change again."

Nicole offered to pay, but Raegan declined, thinking that wearing fine clothes wouldn't change anything in her life.

The real improvement would come from your own work and effort.

Just as Raegan was about to put her clothes back on, a familiar name echoed from the door.

"Mitchel, let's look at this."

Both Raegan and Nicole looked simultaneously and saw a girl dressed in something shiny clinging to Mitchel's arm. They were walking through the store they were in.

Seeing this, Nicole was even more reluctant to let Raegan change back.

In his eyes, Raegan's outfit dwarfed the girl's.

Nicole grabbed Raegan's arm and said loudly, "Raegan, if you go out in this outfit, you'll have men lining up to friend you on WhatsApp."

Mitchel, who hadn't noticed them before, looked back at Nicole's comment.
