? ? ? ? ?

Mitchel felt as if an invisible hand was pressing hard on his heart. It hurt so much that he could barely breathe.

He knew Raegan well. He had always been a kind person. How could she be forced into this situation?

Tessa, who had narrowly escaped death, finally regained her breath. He coughed violently.

Kenya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tessa was okay.

He turned to Raegan and scolded her, “Bitch! How dare you strangle my daughter?

“He just deserves it!” Raegan replied unscrupulously. He was still fuming with rage.

Kenya was surprised by the anger in Raegan's eyes. She felt a little scared and took a step back.

At that moment, Raegan's body seemed filled with terrifying killing intent.

When Tessa came to her senses, she was so scared that she cried and screamed hysterically, “Mom! Mom, try to kill me. Please help me beat her to death.”

Kenya was heartbroken to see Tessa like this. As a mother, of course, she couldn't allow her daughter to be hurt. So he turned around and reached out to pull Raegan's hair.

But before she could even touch Raegan, she was kicked out of the door with a bang.

Mitchel didn't even want to spare a glance at Kenya and Tessa. He dragged them out of here. If they dare to appear again, throw them into the river directly.

Now that Kenya and Tessa had been expelled, the church finally regained peace.

Mitchel knelt in front of the portrait of Raegan's grandmother and bowed three times.

After paying tribute to Raegan's grandmother, he approached her.

His heart was filled with regret and remorse as he looked at her sheet-pale face.

He felt as if a giant fist had hit his heart. And his agony did not seem to stop.

She called him and begged him to come back to see his grandmother one last time. But what did he say to him?

He called her naughty, childish and vicious. He even told him to calm down.

When Raegan was desperate for help, he was too cold to refuse her request. He even used those harsh words to scold her.

He let his grandmother die with remorse. He was an idiot!

All he could say now was, “Raegan… I'm sorry…”

Mitchel knelt next to Raegan with regret and pity in his eyes. He extended his hand, wanting to grab it.

However, Raegan coldly brushed his hand away.

At this time, his eyes were red and swollen. Her long hair was disheveled and her mourning dress was wrinkled. It didn't seem decent at all.

But Raegan couldn't care less. Nothing mattered to him now.

After all, his heart had died.

He no longer cared about the opinions of others.

Raegan looked at Mitchel indifferently and said coldly, “Mr. Dixon, you can go now.

Mitchel's heart sank to the bottom upon hearing this.

She called him Mr. Dixon.

Before he went abroad for his business trip, she put her arms around his neck, looked at him with bright eyes, and called him honey.

And the way he said it was so sweet it melted her heart.

From that moment on, he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.

But what was happening now? Why was his tone so indifferent? It sounded like once he left the church, the two of them would no longer have anything to do with each other.

Realizing this, Mitchel's handsome face paled. Bitterness immediately filled his eyes. But he still wanted to explain: “Raegan, I know you're mad at me. But... I didn't know if what you said was true..."

But before he could finish his words, Raegan coldly interrupted him: "Mr. Dixon, do you want me to call the police?"

Mitchel was incredulous. How could she be so ruthless? But his heart also panicked.

He knew he couldn't lose her. He couldn't afford to lose her.

Not wanting to give up, he reached out, wanting to hug her again.

"Raegan, I'm sorry..."

However, his repentance came too late. Raegan was not moved at all.

He even yelled in her face, "Get out of my sight!"

Luciana also hated the fact that Raegan couldn't forgive Mitchel. He wanted to help his son. But he knew it wouldn't do him any good to stay here. His presence would only enrage Raegan even more.

So he raised his fist, hit Mitchel on the back, and coldly ordered him, “Come out and kneel outside!”

When Mitchel looked at Raegan, her eyes were empty and red.

In fact, she had been fighting back tears. He didn't even look at it.

Luciana noticed that Mitchel remained motionless. Obviously, he was not willing to leave. Luciana had no choice but to drag him out of the church and let him kneel at the entrance.

Mitchel rarely looked haggard. Seeing him like this now, Luciana couldn't help but scold him: “You just reaped what you sowed. Kneel here and wait for Raegan to calm down.”

Mitchel lowered his head. He didn't say anything.

Not long after, rain began to fall outside. And it became more intense.

Mitchel was kneeling at the side door of the church. The rain had soaked his expensive suit, but he didn't care. He continued kneeling there, not caring about how cold he was. People who saw him thought he was sincerely repenting.

When Raegan raised her head, she saw Mitchel in that miserable situation.

If this had been in the past, her heart would have already softened and she would have chosen to forgive him. But now it was different. This time he ignored her presence.

It turned out that this was what it felt like when a person's love for someone gradually dissipated. I no longer felt anything for him.

When she looked at him, she was calm, as if she were observing a stranger.

In the afternoon, Héctor arrived at the church. Raegan was surprised, not expecting his presence.

Héctor walked past Mitchel without even looking at him.

Hector stood in front of the portrait, put down the funeral bouquet, and bowed solemnly.

He then turned to Raegan.

Thinking that Hector had helped her several times, Raegan wanted to thank him. But he moved so suddenly that she felt dizzy.

Fortunately, Héctor was agile enough to catch her in time. He managed to regain his balance.

Mitchel saw all this and felt uncomfortable. To him, their interaction was an eyesore.

And he also wondered how Raegan and Hector knew each other.

Hector didn't stay long. After honoring Raegan's grandmother and speaking with her for a moment, he said goodbye to her and left.

But when he reached the entrance, Mitchel called: "Héctor...".

Hector stopped, turned his head and looked at Mitchel blankly.

Mitchel made a long face.

"Raegan is my wife, you know?"

There was an obvious warning in his voice. But as he spoke, he stared at Hector as if trying to figure out the reason for his visit.

After all, Hector was his uncle.

Others thought that Hector had not yet married because he had not had enough fun.

But Mitchel knew that Héctor was only pretending. The truth was that Hector had someone in his heart.

In fact, Hector even went against Kyler because of this woman.

However, Mitchel knew that this woman had nothing to do with Raegan. He heard that the woman was the daughter of an eminent family.

So, at that moment, he was unsure of Hector's intention to approach Raegan.

Héctor calmly replied: «Yes, I know she is your wife. But only for now.

For now? These words could have different meanings. Hearing this, Mitchel's face suddenly turned pale.

After saying this, Hector turned around and left. I didn't want to keep talking to Mitchel.

Mitchel could only watch Hector's back retreat, clenching his fists tightly.

Night soon fell and it was time for dinner.

Raegan only took a sip of water to moisten her lips. Other than that, he didn't eat anything.

Mitchel saw him from the door. He wanted to get up and persuade Raegan to eat something. But he realized that he was not in a position to do so.

At night, Raegan stayed at the church. I had no intention of sleeping.

It was the last night he could be with his grandmother, because she would be buried in the cemetery tomorrow morning.

It was still raining outside and Mitchel was kneeling in the doorway.

Some time had passed, but he was still on his knees. He thought it was the last thing he could do to pay tribute to Raegan's grandmother.

Luciana looked at Mitchel at the door and then at Raegan. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Weren't they a lovely couple? How had they come to be like this?

Kyler was still in the hospital, so she didn't dare tell him what was happening.

Since Luciana was not in good condition, she could not stay up all night. After staying by Raegan's side for a while, she asked Kendra to take her place.

They took turns watching Raegan. Raegan hadn't eaten anything for three days and only drank a few sips of water.

Luciana felt sorry for Raegan. He was worried that Raegan's body wouldn't hold up.

Soon, the sun began to peek over the horizon and slowly rose into the sky.

Raegan followed the customs. He put on the mourning dress and sent his grandmother to the grave. It was the last goodbye to his grandmother.

With her grandmother's photo in her arms, her thin body stood firm in front of the grave.

It was still drizzling, but she didn't seem to care. At that moment, Mitchel stood behind her with a black umbrella in his hand to protect her from the rain.

Unexpectedly, a crowd gathered in front of the tomb.

They were people from the Raegan neighborhood. It was Mitchel who told Matteo to inform them and ask them to fire Raegan's grandmother.

Raegan's grandmother had been kind all her life. She had a good reputation in the neighborhood and everyone loved her.

Therefore, when it was learned that she had died, even those who did not know her personally came to say goodbye to her.

Raegan's grandmother's grave was not far from her father's.

As the cemetery workers were about to place the urn in the grave, Raegan suddenly rushed over and shouted hoarsely, “Grandma… Thank you for being my grandmother… You always make me feel happy and loved.

Please don't forget me. We will meet again in the next life. By then, we will still be family. And I will be the one who takes care of you..."

Tears welled in Raegan's eyes. All the people who witnessed this scene couldn't help but cry as well.

After everything was settled, the people around dispersed.

Raegan seemed to have breathed her last. His face was horribly pale and he no longer had the strength to even stand.

When he tried to take a step forward, he staggered. Mitchel rushed to take her arm and called softly, "Raegan..."
