The taxi driver frowned thoughtfully.

Raegan was stunned. Mitchel's manufacturing capabilities were unexpectedly impressive.

After thinking about it, the taxi driver ended up getting out and handed the taxi to Matteo.

The taxi driver even imparted some wisdom to Mitchel. «Remember, a wife must be appreciated, not bothered. Understood?"

"I understand, sir." Looking at Raegan, Mitchel added, "I'll make sure to 'treasure' her properly."

Raegan was speechless as things happened so quickly.

Matteo took the wheel and began to drive away, the taxi driver's voice echoing in the distance. «Young man, I don't know how to drive your luxurious car…».

A slight smile appeared on Mitchel's face. His plan had worked.

Raegan was amazed by Mitchel's plan. “You really are a scoundrel.”

"Just a little, and only for you," Mitchel replied.

Raegan was speechless. He wrinkled his nose at the overwhelming aroma it gave off. «Leave the car. Your smell makes me nauseous.

Mitchel sniffed his sleeve, recognizing the woman's strong perfume on her clothes. He immediately took off his jacket, motioned for Matteo to stop on the platform of a nearby station, and threw the jacket into a trash can.

As he began to take off his shirt, Raegan intervened. “What the hell are you doing?”

Mitchel looked bewildered. “You said the smell bothered you, right?”

Raegan felt her cheeks heat up. «Leave the car. "I didn't mean you had to get naked."

The thought of Mitchel getting naked in a taxi was even more disturbing. Especially in a taxi without a privacy film. Passersby might misinterpret his situation if they saw Mitchel undress.

Mitchel protested: "But I promised the taxi driver to 'treasure' you properly..."

properly…"

Raegan's face turned even redder.

Mitchel walked over and offered him his arm to sniff. "Look at this.

It doesn't smell here. "I didn't take off my jacket on camera."

Raegan awkwardly looked away, criticizing, "Don't you have dignity?"

“Well, it seems I have no such thing in your presence.” Mitchel rested his hand on the back of his seat, enclosing it subtly, with a deep tone. “Does this bother you?”

Feeling her ears heating up and frustrated, Raegan responded, “I'm not interested in someone who's been with others. "It's repulsive."

Mitchel faced her, raising his hand as if taking an oath. «I assure you that I have not been with any other woman. You can ask Matteo.

I never let any other woman besides you come close to me. My only mistake was sharing the same air with them.

Matteo, without taking his eyes off the road, confirmed: “Yes, Mr. Dixon is disciplined. "He didn't let other women make advances to him."

Feeling her face heat up, Raegan pushed Mitchel's hand away, parting her lips to speak, but hesitated, aware of Matteo's presence. Then he turned his gaze outside, observing the world beyond the car window.

Mitchel sensed her shyness and decided not to make fun of her anymore, maintaining a respectful distance, a sign of his consideration.

When they arrived at their stop, Matteo tactfully got out of the vehicle to give them some privacy.

Raegan tried to walk out the door, but Mitchel's arm stopped her.

“Raegan…” Mitchel's action created a protective gesture as if he was surrounding her, his cold breath enveloping her. «I regret having let jealousy take over me. I understand that I should have trusted you more and not let my temper flare just because I saw you with another man. I am committed to making peace, although it has been difficult for me to change in the past. My self-control is not perfect, but I am committed to making a real effort to improve..."

His sincere apology and the softness of his voice were new to Raegan. It was a surprise to see the usually confident and somewhat arrogant Mitchel appear so open and vulnerable.
