Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook
Chapter 44

? ? ? ? ?

Raegan looked down, following Tessa's gaze.

Then he saw the tall figure of Mitchel entering the hall. Lauren was next to him, holding his arm.

Mitchel looked noble and outstanding in his custom-made black suit.

Lauren, for her part, looked gentle, elegant and beautiful in her long evening dress.

They looked very good together. You could say they made a perfect couple.

Raegan's mind went blank for a moment.

It was Mitchel's great-grandfather's birthday party. How could he come here with Lauren?

And he even dared to ask her last night if she had forgotten that she was a married woman?

And him? Was he acting like a married man now?

What did he mean by openly bringing his first love to the family banquet? Were you trying to announce your relationship?

Raegan tried to force a smile, but found she didn't even have the strength to stretch the corners of her mouth.

He thought that Mitchel was really hypocritical.

Standing next to Raegan, Tessa also noticed the change in Raegan's expression. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. Tessa sighed regretfully.

"What a pity! "It seems like you haven't been informed that Mitchel is bringing Lauren to the party tonight."

Raegan bit her bottom lip hard and told herself not to care. After all, it was only a matter of time before Mitchel and Lauren announced their relationship.

But no matter how much she convinced herself, she felt like a crack had opened deep in her heart and a cold wind was seeping inside her.

She blamed herself for being stupid. Why did Mitchel still care so much despite the pain he always caused her?

Tessa had a feeling of schadenfreude as she saw the sadness on Raegan's face.

«So what if Mitchel married you? Even so, you will not be recognized publicly. In case you've forgotten, let me remind you that he only married you to appease his grandfather. So don't think too highly of yourself."

Tessa's words were sharp and she even continued teasing: "Look how good Mitchel and Lauren look together. They make a perfect couple.

And you? Do you know what you look like? "You look like a clown who overestimates himself."

After Tessa said this, a cold voice suddenly intervened.

"Who do you think is overestimated?"

At that moment, Tessa was still immersed in her triumph. So he answered without thinking: “Of course, I mean this bitch…”

His voice stopped suddenly.

Then, a crisp slapping sound echoed through the hallway.

“Ah!” Tessa screamed. The slap was so hard that her head tilted and she felt dizzy. She screamed angrily: “Bitch! Who the hell dared to slap me?

Another slap landed on his face.

This time, the sound was even louder.

Both sides of Tessa's face were red and swollen. But she was slapped continuously until she sat on the ground, looking extremely embarrassed.

“Ah!” Tessa screamed at the top of her lungs. He covered his face with his hands.

«Shut up already! If I hear your voice again, I will have someone drag you out of here,” Luciana scolded coldly.

When Tessa saw that it was Luciana who had slapped her, her anger went away instantly. He got up from the ground and stammered, “Auntie, Uooo™.”

"Don't call me aunt!" Luciana scoffed.

«Tessa, it's been a long time since I last saw you. In fact, I really wanted to meet you today. But I never thought you would dare to bully my daughter-in-law.”

Tessa knew very well that Luciana was a ruthless person. When he saw the anger on Luciana's face, he trembled. His legs weakened and he began to break out in a cold sweat.

«No... You... You misunderstood me. I don't…"

But before he could finish his words, Luciana scoffed: “Why do you think so highly of yourself? Have you forgotten that your mother is the daughter of a nanny?

"You". Tessa gritted her teeth. His eyes turned red with rage and humiliation. How could this old slut humiliate her like this?

Raegan was no longer surprised to hear such a revelation. On the way here, Luciana had already told him the main events of the Lloyd family.

Luciana's father was a well-known playboy. Instead of taking care of the family business, he got involved with different women. And when Luciana's mother got sick, she got involved with the family nanny.

When her mother died, the nanny took her mother's place.

That babysitter was Tessa's grandmother. In short, Tessa's mother was an illegitimate daughter of the Lloyd family.

Luciana's father cared a lot about his reputation. Since this part of his life was shameful, he never spoke about it in public.

Luciana held a grudge against that nanny who became her stepmother. Until now, those days when the nanny had caused her a lot of trouble and had treated her harshly, secretly and openly, were still vivid in her mind.

If she hadn't been capable, she would have been harassed to death long ago.

Tonight was Luciana's grandfather's birthday party and she didn't want Tessa to spoil the mood. So Luciana kicked Tessa out.

When Tessa turned to leave, her eyes were full of evil.

He thought that if it hadn't been for Raegan, he wouldn't have suffered such insult and humiliation from Luciana.

Didn't that old bitch call her grandmother a nanny? Now he would look for his grandmother to settle scores.

At that moment, Luciana was still furious.

She couldn't accept that a nobody like Tessa bullied Raegan.

Tonight I will announce that you are my daughter-in-law. Let's see who dares to intimidate you in the future.

Luciana took Raegan by the hand and prepared to go down the stairs. But Raegan was quick to stop her.

«Please don't be impulsive. YO.

Raegan didn't finish her words because she was shocked when she saw Mitchel walking towards them.

She stared at him for a few seconds and noticed a thin crack on his forehead. It seemed that the wound had already been treated.

Luciana also saw Mitchel. As soon as he approached them, Luciana scolded him angrily: “Mitchel, where have you been? Brat! Didn't I ask you to come early to take care of Raegan?

"I was delayed because I had to take care of something important."

"What is more important than your wife?" Luciana continued scolding Mitchel. Then he noticed the wound on his forehead. He pointed to it and asked, "How did you get it?"

"A cat scratched me."

A trace of panic appeared on Raegan's face. He unconsciously looked at Mitchel.

Mitchel was looking at her too, so their eyes met.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at her meaningfully.

Luciana was so worried about Mitchel's injury that she didn't notice the eye contact between Mitchel and Raegan. She asked worried: «A kitten? Have you been vaccinated? What if he has rabies?

"They just raised her," Mitchel explained quietly. As he spoke, his charming eyes locked on Raegan.

"Needs training."

Mitchel underlined the word "training" by lengthening the ending. It seemed intentional.

Raegan couldn't stand Mitchel's gaze anymore, so she lowered her head.

I was still feeling panic and didn't know where to fix my eyes.

Mitchel was actually staring at Raegan because it was the first time he had seen her in a formal dress. The color suited her well and gave her an ethereal and elegant look. His aura was as bright as the stars in the sky.

Looking at her up and down, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed. Yes, the dress fit her perfectly. But what the hell was that design? There was a small opening at the waist, which made her slender waist look so delicate and charming that people would want to reach in and explore it.

He stepped forward without thinking, took off his coat and draped it over his shoulders.

Mitchel whispered, "Who picked out this dress for you?"

"Because? Does it look bad on you? Raegan asked. But I didn't expect him to respond.

Mitchel was silent for a moment. Then he said, "You look amazing."

He had the impulse to add that it was so beautiful that he wanted to hide it inside and enjoy its beauty alone.

Raegan was stunned to hear such an unexpected compliment from Mitchel.

He felt his heart stop beating for a moment.

I had just asked him because I was a little angry. Who would have thought that he would take it seriously and answer him?

When Raegan came to, she couldn't help but inwardly scold herself.

She knew that Mitchel was only acting in front of Luciana, but she let his words affect her. He couldn't suppress the fluttering of his heart.

Luciana watched the interaction between Mitchel and Raegan. He was very happy to see them like this. Stepping aside, he interjected: “Do you know that your wife has been bullied at school? She…"

Luciana stopped talking abruptly.

His eyebrows furrowed tightly. It turned out that he had seen Lauren suddenly appear behind Mitchel. Lauren was like a fragile willow branch swaying in the wind.

Lauren ignored Luciana's cold expression. He approached Luciana and greeted her cordially: "Luciana..."

However, Luciana simply asked coldly: "What are you doing here?"

“I…” Lauren’s face paled. She didn't expect Luciana to treat her like this. She pursed her lips and looked at Mitchel aggrieved.

But when Luciana saw this, she became even more angry.

«Hey, I'm asking you. Why are you looking at him? Do you expect me to speak for you?

Then he turned to Mitchel and asked sternly, "Did you bring her here?"

Before Mitchel could respond, Lauren spoke first.

«Luciana, please don't misunderstand Mitchel. He has nothing to do with it. "It was Tessa who invited me."

Luciana's expression softened a little. But he still wanted to teach Mitchel a lesson. It just wasn't the right time. So I could only wait for them to get home later.

At that moment, Raegan's palms were cold as ice. They were sweating profusely.

She knew Lauren was trying to help Mitchel out of this situation.

She felt ridiculous. Just from a simple compliment from Mitchel, she was already blushing, and her heart was racing.

"OK. Since Mitchel was not the one who brought you here, please leave. Tessa is no longer here. "Mitchel has to accompany his wife, and he doesn't have time to entertain you."

Luciana's voice was cold, and she looked at Lauren with piercing eyes.

She knew Lauren was acting with feigned innocence, and she really couldn't stand it.

At this moment, Lauren looked at Mitchel with pity and shouted in a low voice, “Mitchel…”

He grabbed the sleeve of Mitchel's shirt and lowered his head.

Tears ran down her face uncontrollably.

Lauren was sobbing and her shoulders were shaking. It was as if he was suffering immense sorrow.

But deep down, he despised Luciana. She wanted to tell Luciana to keep scolding her. Because she believed that the more Luciana scolded her, the more Mitchel would appreciate her.

Raegan had been watching Mitchel and Lauren's every move. The subtle interactions between them made his heart bitter.

It was as if thousands of needles were pricking his chest.

Was he a bad person in his previous life? Why was God punishing her like this?

Why would God allow her to see how the man she had loved for ten years showed his love to another person?

“Let go of Mitchel!” Luciana was so overcome with anger that she stepped forward and forcefully shook off Lauren's hand.

«ARI»

Then everyone heard a thud.

They turned their eyes to Lauren, only to see her fall hard to the ground.

His knees were scraped and blood was oozing from the wound.

With her face full of tears, she looked fragile and pitiful.

Luciana's expression changed drastically. He didn't expect Lauren to dare play a prank on him. Lauren was such a hypocritical woman!
