Chapter 18:

? ? ? ? ?

Lauren's face paled, but she hid her displeasure as usual.

Mitchel must have been worried about his health.

Lauren smiled and said softly, “Mitchel, you really don't have to worry about me. I'm fine".

Mitchel seemed a little cold. Seeing Lauren's pitiful look, he turned his face away without saying anything.

He was still hovering around Raegan. With a distant smile, Raegan said, “Your beloved is waiting for you. Go with her.

Raegan had had enough. Those two were free to do whatever they wanted here. As for her, she wanted to leave immediately.

Raegan was so tired that she was afraid she would faint at any moment.

Seeing Raegan's red eyes, Mitchel felt a stab of pain in his heart.

"I..." Mitchel started, but then stopped as he thought better of it.

"It doesn't matter!" Suddenly, Lauren opened her mouth and said softly, “Mitchel, I know what you mean, but you really don't have to force Raegan to apologize to me. I'm willing to let it go. Let her go.

Raegan was stunned.

These words brought him back to his senses. His heart sank into his stomach.

He looked at the man in front of him as if he were a stranger.

So Mitchel was refusing to let her go because she hadn't apologized to Lauren? Damn.

Raegan smiled bitterly.

It turned out that that was the supposed favor.

It was so unreasonable that it turned a blind eye to the truth.

Mitchel was so unfair. His side of the story didn't matter to him.

She was always wrong in his eyes.

Thinking of this, Raegan's smile turned cold. Raegan looked at Mitchel and asked, "Do you want me to apologize?"

Mitchel hadn't expected Lauren to say that. It was a wrong assumption, so when he saw the way Raegan looked at him, it made his heart hurt even more.

He was about to say something when Raegan shook his hand. She walked towards Lauren and lowered her head.

Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Lauren."

A strange weight fell on Raegan as soon as she lowered her head. I could almost hear the crunching of his bones.

She knew that the self-confidence she had worked so hard to build had just collapsed inside her.

It didn't matter anyway. This could be a blessing in disguise.

It had to be completely destroyed before it could be reborn.

With that thought in mind, he approached Lauren and crouched down. Then he said with a menacing smile, “I promise you, Lauren. You will suffer what I suffered.

Lauren's face changed.

If Mitchel wasn't here, Lauren would have jumped out of the wheelchair and lunged at Raegan by now.

Raegan straightened and looked at Mitchel.

«Satisfied? Can I go now?

Mitchel's handsome face darkened.

Raegan didn't understand why he was still unhappy after she had already apologized.

But he couldn't care less now.

Starting tomorrow they were going to be strangers.

Raegan took the ring off her finger and tossed it to Mitchel with a serious face.

"Let's meet tomorrow in court, Mr. Dixon."

There was a dead silence.

The only sound that was heard was that of the ring falling to the ground.

Mitchel's face darkened even more. He stared at the ring with the expression of someone about to commit a massacre.

«Raegan! Have you really made up your mind?

His voice was colder than the devil's.

However, the faint sadness in his eyes was still noticeable.

Raegan was surprised to see it, but soon felt like she was imagining things.

How could Mitchel be sad about his decision? He always wanted to be with Lauren, so now he should be happy.

"Yes that's how it is".

After giving that direct answer, Raegan turned around and left without looking back.

The air seemed to drop to zero now. Lauren started to shake. He held his breath for fear of upsetting Mitchel further.

It took Matteo a while to recover from the shock. When he did, he took the ring and handed it to Mitchel.

I knew that ring meant a lot to Mitchel. For a long time, Mitchel hung it from a necklace he always wore.

«Throw it away. "It's no longer of any use."

Mitchel put on a calm expression as he spoke word by word.

Although he didn't look as terrifying as before, his aura was still cold. He was like an ice king whose mere glance could freeze anyone on the spot.

Matteo didn't dare throw away something so valuable. He decided to keep it safe.

“Mitchel…” Lauren approached Mitchel in his wheelchair. Taking her hand, he said in a low voice: “It's your grandmother's ring, right? And Raegan threw him to the ground just like that. "He doesn't appreciate it at all."

Lauren had wanted that ring for a long time, but Mitchel refused to give it to her.

He never expected him to give it to Raegan.

Lauren squeezed Mitchel's hand unconsciously. A vicious light flashed in his eyes.

Still reluctant to engage in any intimate contact with Lauren, Mitchel withdrew his hand with a frown.

Lauren's expression froze for a second.

Suddenly, something occurred to Mitchel. He shot Lauren a cold look, making her shiver in fear.

"Have you told Raegan that I bought you a ring?" he asked, his voice cold.

Lauren paled. Suppressing the panic in her heart, she bit her lower lip and said, “How could I? I bought the diamond ring for my aunt for her upcoming birthday. Is there a problem?

Mitchel's eyes narrowed as he looked at her.

«You know that what I hate the most is people who play jokes in my presence. I told you to choose what you want, but there are things that are no longer for sale.

It was as if he had now poured a bucket of cold water over Lauren.

Lauren panicked. Had he found out what he had done?

But even if he provoked Raegan with words, so what?

Mitchel was always so loving. He had never frowned at her.

But lately, he began to suspect her and even question her. It was all Raegan's fault!

That bitch deserved to die!

Lauren was about to lose her nerve, but when she remembered Jocelyn's advice, she took a deep breath.

With teary eyes, she opened WhatsApp and handed him the phone.

He uttered: “Are you suspecting me? If you don't believe me, see for yourself.

It was the history of a chat in which she had asked her aunt's opinion about the ring a few days ago.

Mitchel's face softened a little. Sigh.

"Good!"

«Mitchel, it's still me, Lauren. How could you think that way about me?

Your divorce is finalized tomorrow. Why would I feel the need to do something like that? Lauren said and started crying sadly.

«Stop crying, will you? Do you remember that doctor said that emotional stress is bad for your health? Mitchel warned him.

«But I can't help it! You hurt me, Mitchel. You and I have known each other for a long time, and yet you don't trust me. What's the point of me getting better? I prefer to die..."

Lauren was crying so hard that her body was shaking violently and she could barely breathe properly.

«Come on, stop talking about death! "I'll make sure you get better."

Mitchel squeezed his shoulder comfortingly.

"Mitchel, can we get married tomorrow?" Lauren looked up with teary eyes filled with anticipation.

However, Mitchel's eyes darkened. He did not respond to his proposal.

Blatantly, Lauren acted pitiful again.

«Well, I never expected to marry you in this life. But it's okay. "Now I can die a happy woman."

«This again? "I thought I told you to stop talking about death."

Exasperated, Mitchel gave her a handkerchief to wipe her tears. Then he said, "Let's take you to the hospital."

He asked Matteo to take care of Lauren. Then he headed to the parking lot to get the car out.

For some reason, Mitchel didn't want to be left alone with Lauren.

Her crying didn't even cause him sadness or sympathy. He just found it very annoying.

Lauren's crying stopped and she collapsed back into the wheelchair as Mitchel left.

Jocelyn was right. Mitchel was not a man who could be easily fooled.

Fortunately, he had prepared a fake talk.

Thinking about everything that happened after her return, Lauren began to panic again.

It seemed that Mitchel had changed as soon as they brought up the topic of divorce.

He became irritable, restless and impatient with her.

Didn't he want to divorce Raegan? Had he fallen in love with her?

Lauren's face turned white as a ghost. He kicked the couch next to him.

A shopping bag fell and got stuck near the wheelchair.

His eyes focused on her. The bag was the same one Raegan had clutched tightly a moment ago. He must have forgotten her.

One moment. The brand looked familiar!

Lauren cocked her head. Soon, she remembered that the brand was from a mother-and-baby store!

Matteo, who was talking on the phone, had his back to Lauren. She calmly picked up the shopping bag and looked inside.

His face fell instantly.

After a moment of shock, he hurriedly threw the bag into the trash can.

Baby clothes!

Was Raegan pregnant?

How…how had it happened? Where… When…

Lauren's mind was in a mess. He held his head and tried to think clearly. Judging by Mitchel's words earlier, he was not aware of Raegan's pregnancy.

Getting rid of Raegan's baby should be easy.

A menacing expression appeared on Lauren's face. His eyes shone with evil.

Lauren knew Raegan was standing in her way of rekindling passion with Mitchel from day one. Anyway, he would deal with Raegan bit by bit once their divorce was finalized!
