? ? ? ? ?

As Mitchel spoke, his eyes never left Lauren's face. It was as if he wanted to see through her reaction. Sure enough, a trace of panic crept across Lauren's face as she met his scrutinizing gaze.

Actually, Lauren knew it from the maids. He asked Jocelyn to bribe the maids at Mitchel's house to get information.

But, of course, Mitchel couldn't know this.

“Lauren, what I hate the most is people who lie to me,” Mitchel said with a hint of warning when he noticed that Lauren fell silent.

He slowly approached her while looking at her with cold and piercing eyes.

"Mitchel, are you doubting me?"

Lauren burst into tears instantly with an aggrieved look. Tears ran down her face uncontrollably.

He continued between sobs: «How do I know? Of course, I'm just guessing. After all, you treat Kyler so well. You wouldn't want to upset him."

Mitchel just looked at Lauren without saying anything. His face was cold and expressionless.

Judging by his reaction, Lauren knew he didn't quite believe her.

She was so angry that she blurted out without thinking, “Mitchel, are you in love with Raegan now? You don't want to divorce her, do you?

Mitchel's eyebrows furrowed tightly. He was getting angry because that topic had come up repeatedly today. Why did everyone think like that?

Had he really fallen in love with Raegan?

No, it couldn't be possible. He wouldn't fall in love with anyone.

Then suddenly, Raegan's image appeared in his mind. Her red eyes and the tears streaming down her face seemed to break his heart.

Mitchel didn't want to admit that he had fallen in love with Raegan.

But he also couldn't say out loud that he didn't love her.

Mitchel's silence intensified the anger and despair in Lauren's heart. Since I couldn't answer his question, that meant I agreed.

Lauren was about to question Mitchel again when Jocelyn suddenly walked in. Jocelyn grabbed the corner of her clothing and gently shook her head.

Then Jocelyn exaggeratedly shouted, “Oh, Miss Murray! Hasn't the doctor told you that you shouldn't get too upset? It's dangerous. "He is risking his life."

Lauren immediately took Jocelyn's hint. Echoing Jocelyn's performance, Lauren hugged Jocelyn tightly and cried sadly.

When Mitchel saw Lauren and Jocelyn crying together, her heart softened. He remembered that Lauren was still a patient. With that, the arrogance in him instantly vanished.

Lauren, before you insist on marrying me, think carefully. From the beginning, I have made it clear to you that I can only give you the title Mrs. Dixon.

Nothing else. After all, I have no feelings for you. If you ask me, I don't want you to suffer by my side. "I want you to be happy, not to live resentful."

Mitchel's words came like a bolt from the blue.

Lauren was too shocked to react for a while.

At that time, she took advantage of Mitchel's drunkenness and seduced him. She did it because she wanted to sleep with him. But unfortunately, even though she stood naked in front of him, he didn't even look at her. He explicitly stated that he would never touch her.

Mitchel could treat Lauren well, but never touch her.

Lauren's pride couldn't take it. She was so hurt that she decided to fly abroad the next day.

Lauren thought Mitchel would go after her and appease her. But she didn't expect that as soon as she left, he suddenly got married. She felt even more hurt.

Now that he was back, he thought he could get Mitchel back.

But it seemed that history was repeating itself. However, this time she was determined to hold him firmly. I would never abandon him again.

Aside from the title of Mrs. Dixon, Lauren also wanted to win Mitchel's heart. His heart, his body and his soul should belong to him.

Lauren saw that Mitchel was about to leave. He panicked even more.

Then an idea occurred to him. Without hesitation, he let his body fall from the bed.

A loud crash sounded in the room as his body fell to the floor.

As expected, it attracted Mitchel's attention. He stopped dead and turned around. But he didn't approach Lauren. Instead, he looked at the stunned Jocelyn next to him and said sternly, "Why don't you help Miss Murray up now?"

That's when Jocelyn stepped forward to help Lauren. However, Lauren shook off Jocelyn's hand and crawled towards Mitchel.

As she crawled, Lauren emotionally cried, “Mitchel, you know how much I love you. Please don't leave me like this. My life has no meaning without you.

He continued to laboriously drag his legs helplessly across the ground towards Mitchel.

Lauren looked so miserable that anyone who saw her like this would feel sorry for her.

Mitchel's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his feet moved slightly. But at that moment his phone rang.

He pressed the answer button without looking at the screen. Luis's indifferent voice sounded on the other end of the line.

«Mitchel, I've been keeping an eye on Raegan. At this moment, eleven men have already tried to approach her. If you don't love your wife anymore, tell me. "I'll catch her first."

The wrinkles on Mitchel's forehead deepened.

“What are you talking about?” He didn't understand why Luis was suddenly talking about Raegan.

As far as he could remember, she had let the driver take her home. He was supposed to be resting now.

Luis explained: "I'm in Temple Bar. Your wife is here too."

Mitchel's beautiful, deep eyes immediately darkened. He said coldly, “Keep an eye on her and don't let others get close to her. If not, I will close that bar.

Luis hissed.

"Really? Do you have the courage to close your friend's business? Are you that cruel? "I think you're going too far."

Mitchel didn't say anything else. He hung up the phone, reached down, and picked up Lauren.

Lauren still looked pitiful on the surface. But inside, he was celebrating his triumph. He had put a lot of effort into his performance. He didn't believe that Mitchel's heart was not touched by his miserable appearance.

In the end, he came and held her willingly.

Lauren and Mitchel had gotten along well for many years. So Lauren didn't believe that Mitchel didn't have affection for her. He supposed he must have developed some feeling for her. Only he hadn't realized it yet. That's why she would do everything possible to help him recognize the importance she had in his heart.

Lauren wrapped her thin arms around Mitchel's neck and looked at him lovingly with teary eyes, thinking that this time they would finally have an intimate moment. But, to her dismay, he simply left her on the bed.

Then he turned to Jocelyn and said coldly, “If you can't take care of Miss Murray, you can go home and rest. I will find someone capable.

There was a nuance of instruction and warning in his words.

Jocelyn's heart skipped a beat.

He had been taking care of Lauren all his life. Although she was only a babysitter, she treated Lauren like her own daughter since Lauren was born. Mitchel knew it very well too. That's why Mitchel always treated her with respect.

It was the first time he had spoken such unkind words to her.

Jocelyn was shocked for a moment, but quickly recovered. He replied quietly, "Don't worry, Mr. Dixon."

After hearing this, Mitchel turned around and left. Lauren's eyes widened at this.

She was about to get out of bed to follow him when Jocelyn suddenly grabbed her arm.

Jocelyn looked at her, shook her head, and reminded her, "Miss Murray, don't wear out Mr. Dixon's affection for you."

Lauren realized that Jocelyn was right. He had no choice but to collapse on the bed. But the tears continued to fall uncontrollably down her face.

She looked at Jocelyn and said between sobs, “Jocelyn, I'm scared.

What if Mitchel abandons me? What should I do?

Jocelyn patted Lauren on the back and said comfortingly, “Miss Murray, Mr. Dixon hasn't said he won't divorce Raegan. He just can't divorce her right now because of Kyler. But don't worry. We have many ways to get them divorced as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to stay calm and be patient. Peaceful. The affection that Mr. Dixon has for you is your leverage.

Jocelyn's words rekindled the dull fire in Lauren's eyes.

Lauren realized that Jocelyn's words made sense. Mitchel couldn't divorce Raegan at the moment because of Kyler. If it weren't for Kyler, Mitchel and Raegan would have been divorced a long time ago.

His biggest worry now was the baby in Raegan's belly. Raegan could use it to take over Mitchel. So that baby had to disappear.

After thinking for a while, Lauren sat up straight, slowly wiped the tears from her face, and returned to being a kind and generous lady.

He grabbed his phone and opened a document containing the details of Raegan's schedule.

According to Raegan's schedule, she was at a bar right now.

Lauren remembered the phone conversation Mitchel had just had. A trace of melancholy passed through his eyes. Mitchel must have gone looking for that bitch Raegan.

Lauren looked at Jocelyn and said, “Tell Tessa I agree with her investment plan. And I want to see it.

Jocelyn nodded.

"OK. "I will make the preparations."

With a plan in mind, Lauren lay calmly on the bed and looked at the ceiling with eyes full of mischief.

He had to make sure Raegan and his son died together. Only then could he have Mitchel without obstacles.

Raegan and Nicole were still in Temple Bar at the time.

Raegan wore a light beige cardigan paired with an ankle-length skirt.

The style of her outfit was very incompatible with the atmosphere of the bar.

But the more she was different from the others, the more attractive she became. He was like a little white rabbit that had fallen into a wolf's den, tempting all the wolves to take a bite.

At this time, Nicole was already a little drunk. He no longer remembered how many advances he had rejected.

He giggled, winked at Raegan, and said, “Raegan, you're amazing!

I think those women who are here to pick up will go home crying tonight. After all, those men only have their eyes on you.

When Nicole saw a man approaching, she nudged Raegan, held up two fingers, and made a fist. I meant twenty. The man approaching was the twentieth person who had approached them tonight.

Raegan had definitely broken the record.

Nicole often went to bars to have fun. In his experience, the largest number of men who approached him was only a dozen or so.

Tonight, Raegan broke her record effortlessly.

«Hello, ladies! “Can I join you?” The man who approached them wore a shiny jacket and had a lascivious expression.

"Oh I'm sorry. "We are with someone." Of course, Nicole immediately refused.

Was this man joking? Why would they share a table with a stranger?

However, the man seemed impervious to rejection. He said, "You're lying. I've been watching you from afar since you came in. "You are not with anyone."

Nicole found the man annoying. He immediately lost his nerve.

«So what if we are not with someone? We do not welcome strangers at our stand. After all, we have paid for this table. Find your own table.

But the man ignored Nicole. His target was Raegan. He smiled obscenely and said, “Hello, little beauty. Can I be your boyfriend?

Raegan frowned and said coldly, “Please leave. If not, I will call the security guards.”

“Wh, really? Well go ahead. “Call them.” The corners of the man's mouth curled up into an evil smile.

«What I like the most is hearing women scream, especially someone young and delicate like you. "It must be especially pleasant to the ear."
