Chapter 305 Having Dinner with Stefan - Katie had beautiful, curly long hair, and a gentle smile danced on her lips.
Noticing Raegan's silence, Katie pressed on, "I heard you had a close call with death. I'm glad you're safe.
How about we have dinner sometime?" As she spoke, she discreetly positioned herself beside Mitchel, revealing only half her body and face. She appeared affectionate and reliant on Mitchel.
As a woman, Raegan had a feeling that something was going on between them. She guessed that Katie must like Mitchel.
In an instant, the slight fondness Raegan had developed for Mitchel because of his agreeing to the divorce
evaporated. She sneered and cursed him in her heart for being heartless.
There did not seem to be a time when he wasn't surrounded by women.
"I'm sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else," Raegan coldly said.
Katie wanted to say something, but the elevator arrived at the designated floor.
With that, Raegan walked out without even looking in Mitchel's direction. In her wake, she left behind an uncomfortable Katie and a somber, cold-faced Mitchel.
Before Raegan reached the corner, her phone rang. She answered the call with a sweet voice, "Stefan..." Her demeanor resembled that of a woman in love answering a call from her boyfriend.
Mitchel's expression grew frosty.
During the divorce, Raegan had
promised not to avoid him. Well, technically speaking, she didn't break her word. But although she didn't avoid him, she acted as if she didn't know him. It seemed as though she was determined to prove that he was a stranger to her.
Observing Mitchel's expression, Katie sensed his anger and could discern its source. She glanced at the closing elevator doors, and her gaze darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had learned about Raegan's return from Mitchel, but that was all he said.
He didn't go into any further details.
| At this moment, Katie turned her head toward Mitchel ‘and asked, "Did you two have a fight?" Mitchel's mind remained fixed on Raegan's dress, which swayed and accentuated her curves, giving off innocence and allure.
| In a somber tone, Mitchel explained,
"No, she has an amnesia." "Amnesia?" Katie repeated, taken aback. It finally dawned on her why Raegan had acted like she didn't recognize them earlier.
"I never saw that coming," Katie murmured to herself.
In all honesty, when Katie first learned that Raegan was alive, she was somewhat thrown off balance.
Katie had selflessly supported Mitchel, | even going as far as seeking her father's help during his most trying times. She had even taken a significant risk, particularly by leveraging her family's influence. The results were evident, and she felt content about it.
Truth be told, with Mitchel's abilities, he could have made a comeback without her family's support if he had wanted to. The help from the Glyn
family had merely been the cherry on top.
However, the media had blown the said family's involvement out of proportion. They all claimed that the Glyns were Mitchel's saviors.
Consequently, the Glyn family gained support and wielded significant decision-making authority in many of the Dixon Group projects.
Katie's decision elevated the entire Glyn family's status, leaving every member content with the outcome.
The only regret Katie had was the fact that she wasn't Mitchel's wife yet. In | fact, Luciana and Katie's parents had | discussed the subject before Raegan's return.
Everyone, except Mitchel, was in favor of the marriage. Thankfully, Luciana didn't listen to Mitchel's objections.
After all, Luciana didn't want to see her son remain single without any offspring.
Thus, Luciana treated Katie as her daughter-in-law and acknowledged their connection in private and in public. She attributed the delay in their official marriage to destiny.
Mitchel had tried to dissuade Luciana.
But over the past few years, Luciana had been devastated by Alexis' affairs.
Whenever Mitchel voiced his opposition, Luciana would erupt into emotional outbursts and make a scene.
Despite that, Katie put on an act by showing staunch support and understanding to Mitchel's decline of marriage with her. She claimed that marriage was not in her plans, and she had no intention of tying the knot with Mitchel. However, she only said those things to lower his guard.
Katie devoted herself to her work and even successfully brought back several vital projects for the Dixon Group, boosting profits significantly. In recognition of her accomplishments, she was promoted to the position of vice president at the Dixon Group.
Thereafter, Mitchel stopped mentioning the matter altogether, but his actions conveyed his unwavering stance: marriage with Katie was out of the question.
The collective silence from the Dixon family led the media to speculate that Katie was destined to become Mitchel's wife. However, most attributed the delay to Mitchel's decline.
Katie's long-standing involvement in charity work and her gentle, kind public persona garnered sympathy from many. Yet, few considered the
substantial gains the Glyn family had reaped from this situation. They now held a prominent position in Ardlens, despite hailing from another city, all thanks to Mitchel.
Katie relied on public opinion and the pressure exerted by elders to maintain a flawless image. This strategy allowed her to reap benefits and subtly instill a sense of guilt in Mitchel.
Katie didn't rush to win Mitchell's heart, knowing she had all the time in the world. Whether or not he would ever marry, she was determined to be the one woman by his side.
But with Raegan's sudden return, Katie began to feel a growing sense of unease. Despite the turmoil within her, she maintained a composed exterior and skillfully concealed her emotions.
Her ability to hide her feelings had allowed her to quietly linger by
Mitchel's side for so long.
With a calm demeanor and apparent concern, Katie asked, "Mitchel, how's your treatment going in Swynborough? Is your headache still bothering you?" "It's okay," Mitchel replied tersely, showing little enthusiasm for the conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter Raegan's disappearance since the car incident, Mitchel had often suffered from insomnia. At one point, he had gone without sleep for an entire week.
Concerned about his health, Luciana forced Mitchel to seek medical attention. Eventually, he stabilized his sleep patterns through medication, but in doing so, he developed neuralgia.
Whenever this condition flared up, it rendered Mitchel unable to work, and there seemed to be no medicine for
this illness. He had to resort to specialized interventions at overseas research institutes.
Fortunately, his illness typically resurfaced only once a year. This time, however, it struck right after his divorce with Raegan.
The fact that his illness had recurred four months earlier than before was a concerning sign, but Mitchel didn't give it much thought.
At this moment, all his attention was consumed by Raegan. If he hadn't had an important client meeting later this evening, he would have immediately sought her out upon landing. He never expected he would run into her like this.
During the car ride back, Mitchel attentively listened as Matteo provided updates on Raegan's life. It appeared that her daily routine predominantly
consisted of having dinner with Stefan.
As a matter of fact, they had dined together three times in a single week.
Then, after dinner, they would stroll through the park like a couple deeply in love.
Thinking about how Raegan had sweetly called out Stefan's name, Mitchel couldn't help but feel an intense pang of jealousy.
Noticing his distracted state, Katie was uneasy and decided to shift the conversation toward work. "With Marcus' help, I'm confident we'll secure the bid for the energy project.” After a month-long trip abroad, Katie managed to persuade Marcus Morgan and secured his assistance. She did this to carve a place for the Dixon family in the burgeoning new energy industry.
To others, it might have appeared as |
though she was exclusively benefiting the Dixon family, but that was far from the whole truth. | The scope of the new energy project was simply too vast for her Glyn family to handle independently. However, by collaborating with the Dixon Group, the Glyn family stood to gain significantly. Katie had meticulously weighed these factors.
While the task was undeniably challenging, it had the potential to | solidify her position as Mitchel's future wife and give her considerable benefits. Of course, she wouldn't let this invaluable opportunity slip through her fingers.
Furthermore, it was reasonable to assume that her dedication to helping the Dixon family would be perceived as a desire to marry Mitchel.
But something unexpected happened.
Katie's eyes darkened. She never | expected that, upon returning from her month-long trip abroad, she would be met with Raegan's miraculous return.
But so what? Katie had carefully orchestrated her grand scheme for five years. She wasn't about to let Raegan's reappearance disrupt it.
