Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 21

Chapter 21:

? ? ? ? ?

Lauren, who had been putting on an act of being weak, realized what it really felt like to be on the brink of death now.

She felt that Luciana would make her very angry at any moment.

She was known for her façade as a tender and attractive young woman in Ardlens with men chasing her. But Mitchel's mother had just called her an escort girl. Infuriating!

It was so annoying that Luciana even pretended not to recognize her, saying that Tommy's daughter wouldn't be as shameless as her. Luciana was so hateful.

With no other option at the time, Lauren turned to her acting skills. She leaned against Mitchel and sobbed.

«You have understood everything wrong, Luciana. I really don't..."

«Well, that's good to know. But remember that it is immoral and shameless to cling to a married man. “Keep your distance from him from now on.”

As Luciana spoke, she cast a cold glance at Lauren's hand that was tightly gripping Mitchel's arm, which scared Lauren into letting go.

If it weren't for Mitchel's help in time, Lauren would have fallen to the ground.

Mitchel frowned and said, “Mom, please be good to Lauren. "Now it's not in good condition."

Lauren hid behind Mitchel. At this moment, Mitchel was like a hard wall, blocking all damage to Lauren.

Seeing Mitchel's actions and hearing his protective words for Lauren, Raegan's eyes turned red, but she fought back tears with all her might.

He thought he had gone numb, but this scene still made his heart hurt a lot.

She had already decided to divorce Mitchel and let them be together.

But why did Mitchel have to rub it in his face? Why was he protecting Lauren in front of her? What a ruthless man!

He felt as if his heart had been cut into pieces with a knife. The pain made her want to find a place to hide.

Boom!

Luciana slammed her hand on the table and glared at Mitchel.

«His well-being is not your concern. Even if she is terminally ill, your duty is to your wife, not to her. Tell me, have you worried about Raegan since you arrived?

Raegan risked her life just to get my purse back from a thief. The bag contained your grandfather's crucial medicine. He got hurt and got eight stitches without anesthesia!

He decided to help me without knowing who I was. "She doesn't deserve to be treated like this by her own husband."

Luciana's anger increased as she spoke. She was livid to see that Lauren was still clinging to Mitchel as if they were a couple. Not wanting to see them anymore, he pointed to the door and shouted, "Get out, both of you!"

Lauren tugged on Mitchel's sleeve.

He really wanted to leave.

It was clear that Luciana was difficult to deal with. Luciana's curses stung like hell and he would like to get away from that terrible woman.

Lauren cried out pitifully, “Mitchel…”

To her chagrin, Mitchel didn't seem to hear her. His dark eyes were fixed on Raegan, who was lying on the bed.

Lauren got a little nervous and tugged on his arm again. It didn't take long for Mitchel to come to his senses and take her out directly.

Lauren looked pleased. That bitch had hurt herself, so what?

Raegan's injury didn't even convince Mitchel to stay by her side. Ha ha!

Before Lauren could bask in the euphoria of her “victory,” Mitchel handed her to Matteo and coldly ordered, “Bring her home safely.”

Lauren's jaw dropped.

Did Mitchel leave her in the care of his assistant?

"Oh!" With a scream, Lauren clutched her chest and knelt in pain.

She bet Mitchel would turn around to hug her.

After all, it was no news that he loved her.

Even she herself did not doubt that he was madly in love with her.

Mitchel tolerated her stubbornness and even tried to chase her when she left the country.

Although he often flew to see her, he never asked her to return with him to Ardlens.

Days passed and she thought she would still like him. However, the news of his marriage hit him like a bolt of lightning.

At first, she wanted to return to disrupt his marriage, but could not due to her weak state.

Lauren feared that things would change over time. However, Mitchel was so warm to her upon her return that she thought she still had a chance.

At that moment, she expected him to turn to her. She hoped to hold on to him and pull him away from Raegan. But Mitchel disappeared down the hallway without stopping for a second.

Matteo watched the drama queen for a while before bending down to pick her up. He said politely, "Come on, Miss Murray."

Lauren grabbed the leather bag on the floor and slammed it into Matteo's face.

«Get your dirty hands off me, you piece of shit! "How dare you touch me."

As he growled, he stood up on his own two feet and gave him a look that could kill.

Back in the living room, Luciana was feeding Raegan like a baby.

It was a little embarrassing for Raegan.

"Mrs. Dixon, no need. "I can eat alone."

Luciana was not left-handed, but she could manage.

Luciana gently wiped Raegan's lips with a napkin and said softly, “Don't be so polite to me. Think about why you are in this state now. Taking care of you is the least I can do right now.

Luciana's words were sincere and Raegan couldn't reject them again.

With a smile, Raegan said, "Thank you for your care, Mrs. Dixon."

«Please, call me Luciana. "We are family." Luciana smiled at him.

Heat filled Raegan's cheeks. Raegan liked Luciana. However, thinking that she would soon no longer be Luciana's daughter-in-law, her mood dimmed and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Noticing Raegan's hesitation, Luciana took no offense. She just took Raegan's left hand and said, "You don't know how happy I was when I realized you were my daughter-in-law." Jodi can't sit still.

He's always on the go, so I feel very alone. I always dreamed of having a calm daughter. Little did I know that my wish would come true so soon.

Upon hearing this, Raegan did not want Luciana to find out about her upcoming divorce from Mitchel. He smiled shyly and said: "Luciana."

"That's my good girl!" Luciana said enthusiastically. Smiling happily, he removed a refined jade bracelet from his hand and placed it on Raegan's wrist without hesitation.

«I have been wearing this bracelet for forty years. "It suits you perfectly."

«No, please, give it back. It means a lot to you. "I can't accept it."

Raegan meant to say that she and Mitchel were about to break up.

But he couldn't bring up the topic of divorce now because he didn't want to disappoint Luciana.

Taking Raegan's hand in hers, Luciana said softly, "Raegan, my heart broke when I saw you holding that knife with your bare hand."

I wondered how many hardships you had gone through to be able to face danger like that. At that moment, I just wanted to hold you like a baby and comfort you. Please don't say no. See it as a normal gift for yourself. Let me take good care of you."

Raegan's heart melted.

Such words had never been said to him. She was forced to act like an adult since she was a child because her weak and elderly grandmother required her care.

After a tough childhood, she fell in love with an indifferent Mitchel and did everything she could to maintain the relationship.

As a result, she had long forgotten what it felt like to be loved and cared for.

All this was new to her, but it filled her heart.

Tears welled up in Raegan's eyes again. Sob.

"Thank you.

Suddenly the door was pushed open and Mitchel walked in with one hand in his pocket.

Raegan was surprised. What was he doing here again?

His reappearance dampened his mood.

That man had not put her first despite being hurt.

It turned out that Lauren would always be his priority.

Luciana was upset when she saw Mitchel enter.

«What are you doing here? "I thought you were a Murray now since Lauren is the only thing that matters to you."

Turning a deaf ear to her mother's words, Mitchel looked at Raegan's right hand, which was wrapped in thick gauze. His expression was cold.

Luciana wasn't done with Mitchel yet.

«Let me tell you something, Mitchel. If your grandpa finds out you're having an affair, he'll beat you up! Even if you are my son, then I will not help you.

Luciana coughed after that threat.

She was a little asthmatic, so talking excitedly made her cough.

Giving Luciana a gentle pat on the back, Raegan rushed to comfort her: “Luciana, please calm down. Don't scold Mitchel. He's actually good to me."

This was the truth. He didn't want her. But he never mistreated her, except out of romantic feelings.

He was kind to her. Unfortunately, kindness was not enough. It was the same as he would have treated a pet well if he had had one.

Nothing special.

"Stop defending him!" Although Luciana was still angry, her attitude softened a lot.

«Mom, my grandfather asked about you. You should go home first. "I'll take Raegan home later."

Was Mitchel going to take her home? Raegan's heart skipped a beat. But the next second, he made an invisible facepalm. There was nothing to be happy about.

He only said it so Luciana would leave.

«Thank goodness you still have a heart. Anyway, let me warn you. From now on you are prohibited from going anywhere other than the office.

Take good care of Raegan. Don't even think about lazing around. I have my eyes on you.

Luciana informed Mitchel about the required diet before leaving.

Raegan and Mitchel were left alone in the room.

Unease hung in the air like a frozen cloud.

Mitchel was quiet, which worried Raegan.

She thought he was angry with her.

After all, she couldn't go ahead with the divorce and let him marry his beloved this morning because of the injury.

It didn't take long for Raegan to break the silence.

«I'm sorry for the delay. How about we go to court now? "It's not too late yet."

Mitchel's lips remained pursed for a few more seconds. Then he asked, "Do you really think my mother will allow it?"

Thinking about Luciana's character, Raegan had to agree with her.

She frowned and said worriedly, “Well, I'm afraid I have to put myself together before I explain our decision to divorce him. Until then, you have to…”

Before Raegan could finish her words, Mitchel suddenly grabbed her chin.

His face was in front of her. He could see a trace of sadness in her eyes. She felt confused. Why did he look sad again?

"Does it hurt?" Mitchel asked.

Raegan's heart skipped a beat.

Why did I ask him that? Was he worried?
