Chapter 331 Ignore Raegan could feel Katie's arrogance even through the phone.
Katie made it seem like Raegan was having an affair with Mitchel.
Right then, Raegan was on the brink of losing her cool and almost hung up.
Was Katie actually in a relationship with Mitchel? This question lingered in her mind. If Katie's words were true, then what was Mitchel's intention when he pursued her recently? Who did he take her for? What a jerk! Scumbag! Asshole! With these thoughts, Raegan replied in a calm tone, "Sorry, I wasn't aware that you two were engaged. I promise not to contact Mitchel again."
Raegan didn't feel any guilt as she apologized sincerely. She stood tall, thinking that if Katie was telling the truth and she had known earlier, she would have never gotten involved with Mitchel. Moreover, it was Mitchel who kept showing up in her life. If Katie was telling the truth, Mitchel was a scumbag, no doubt.
"Why don't you check online, Raegan? Didn't you see the news about our engagement earlier?" Katie said, deliberately bringing up the news.
Although Mitchel's team had removed almost all the fake news from the internet, the coverage of the so-called engagement between Katie and Mitchel from unknown entertainment companies that valued little to the truth of the news they released could still be stumbled upon.
Truth be told, Katie wasn't afraid Mitchel would approach Raegan and explain the situation. After all, it wasn't something easy to explain.
What added to the difficulty was Raegan's previous low opinion of Mitchel. Mitchel's attempt to explain would likely complicate things further.
Besides, Katie assumed she wasn't entirely dishonest. She was set on marrying Mitchel. Sooner or later, Mitchel would become her husband.
Katie had been orchestrating the schemes of marrying Mitchel for years, not anticipating Raegan's sudden return. She had hoped Lauren's tricks would succeed in removing Raegan from the picture. But, to her dismay, Lauren failed.
Left with no alternative, Katie had to take the matter into her own hands.
With a smile, Katie continued, "Since three years ago, the news about our engagement has been all over the Internet. The Dixon Group has aimed for a more discreet profile the recent years. We've toned down the media coverage, but our engagement is still a well-known fact to all. Raegan, I don't think you're someone who would chase after a man relentlessly. I will let this call slide. Anyway, I suggest you watch your actions and words in the future and stay away from Mitchel for your own good." Katie's tone was condescending.
Though she didn't use harsh language, it was clear she was labeling Raegan in a negative light and trying to demean Raegan.
No longer the pushover, Raegan responded coldly, "Miss Glyn, you just said you and Mitchel were engaged
three years ago. So, you've thought of yourself as Mitchel's fiancée since then, correct?" Katie answered arrogantly, "Yes, that's the truth." "Is that so? Are you certain? Then, let me add another fact for you." After a brief pause, Raegan continued, "Ten days ago, legally speaking, the man you're talking about was actually my husband. Yet, you claim you've been engaged to him for three years. Well, I guess a thanks for your words is in order. Anyway, I'll keep my right to pursue this matter." Upon hearing Raegan's words, Katie was completely taken aback. Her smile vanished, and her composure dropped as she questioned, "What do you mean?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKatie had always thought Mitchel was single when Raegan was struck by the car incident three years ago. She had little knowledge of their remarriage.
Moreover, after five long years of thought that Raegan had passed away amid the car incident, Mitchel kept his marriage status untouched. Katie found it hard to digest the depth of Mitchel's love for Raegan.
Katie's sense of superiority was gone in an instant. Her failure to make Mitchel fall in love with her after all these years added to her distress.
"Just literal meaning. In fact, it's you who should not meddle with someone else's husband. Moreover, I'm not interested in Mitchel. Be rest assured, I have no desire for such a rubbish," Raegan sneered.
How could Raegan possibly be interested in a man like Mitchel after hearing Katie's words? The supposed engagement with another woman while pursuing her? Blah. If Katie valued Mitchel so much, she could have him.
At the doorway, Janey overheard Raegan's conversation on the phone.
Janey didn't grasp everything, but she caught that Mitchel was engaged to someone else. How could that be? That was not good.
Janey had learned what an engagement meant when she went to a party with Annis. She understood it as Mitchel planning to marry another lady.
But, Mitchel had told her he loved no one but her mommy that day. He was a
liar! A bad guy! How dare he lie to her! Thinking this over, Janey grabbed her phone and began pressing it aimlessly.
As Raegan emerged from the room, she found Janey waiting eagerly, holding a small handbag.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Raegan said to Janey, "Janey, today we're going to have fun at the amusement park with Annis, okay?" "That's awesome, mommy!" Beaming, Janey said earnestly, "Mommy, I don't want a daddy anymore. Because I love you so much, mommy." Janey was disappointed in Mitchel. She never expected him to be a liar. In her mind, it was her fault that her mommy was being accused over the phone.
Raegan was puzzled by Janey's sudden
change in mood but didn't dwell on it.
She chalked it up to the usual mood swings of children.
The three of them got dressed and were about to leave when Stefan appeared, holding a large gift box adorned with princess illustrations.
"Stefan!" Janey jumped on Stefan with excitement. The toy she had recently mentioned to Stefan was right there, something she hadn't anticipated Stefan would find so quickly.
Noticing they were on their way out, Stefan inquired, "Where are you all headed?" "Stefan, my mommy and I are off to the amusement park. Would you like to join us?" Janey asked.
"Is this an invitation for me, Janey?" Stefan knelt down and asked softly.
"Yes, come with us to the park!" Janey replied expectantly.
At this, Stefan looked over at Raegan.
Recently, Stefan had expressed his desire to spend time with Raegan for the rest of his life, but she hadn't responded yet. This made their encounter a tad embarrassing.
Raegan quickly said, "Stefan might be busy, Janey." "Is that so? It's okay then, Stefan," Janey replied, showing no signs of sadness. In her eyes, Stefan was like a member of their family.
However, Stefan stood up and cleared his throat. "Actually, I have no plans today." Raegan was stunned momentarily.
"Do you mind if I come along?" Stefan
asked tentatively. It was his first time actively pursuing a woman.
"I don't mind but just a heads-up.
Janey can be quite lively..." said Raegan embarrassedly.
"I don't mind that at all. I'm quite fond of Janey," Stefan responded.
So, all four of them set off to the amusement park together.
Annis, keen on setting Raegan up with Stefan, took it upon herself to keep Janey entertained most of the time.
Meanwhile, Raegan and Stefan simply stood by, watching in silence.
"About the other day..." Raegan and Stefan began speaking simultaneously.
"Please, you go first," Stefan said
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmkindly.
"[ owe you an apology, Stefan. The other day, I pretended we were dating just to annoy Mitchel," Raegan confessed.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Raegan added, "Stefan, you're a wonderful person. But I've always seen you more like a big brother. Also, I'm not sure I'd be the right one for you if you're thinking about marriage..." Raegan had been friends with Stefan for almost three years and had always seen him as an older brother figure. It was hard for her to see him in a different light.
Moreover, after her experience with Mitchel, Raegan believed she needed to be more careful in choosing a partner, especially someone who could be a
stepfather to Janey.
Raegan knew that moral integrity and personality were crucial, and_it was essential that they shared common interests for a lifelong partnership.
Seeing her standpoint, Stefan felt a wave of disappointment. "I understand. Remember, I'm always there for you, and you have nothing to feel guilty about." "Stefan..." Raegan's guilt deepened upon hearing Stefan's understanding response.
Stefan offered a gentle smile and said, "It's okay, really. Raegan, truthfully, I'm not even sure what love really is. I'm just looking for someone suitable to start a family with. Reflecting on my words that day, I realize I was quite impulsive and unfair to you. Please,
just forget about it." Raegan felt a sense of relief at his words. She would have felt remorseful if Stefan had deeper feelings for her because she might ultimately let him down.
With a bright smile, Raegan said, "Thank you, Stefan." Stefan returned the smile and said, "In my eyes, you're like a younger sister.
When Erick isn't around, feel free to reach out to me for anything. Don't see me as an outsider." "Of course, Stefan." After this exchange, the rest of their day turned out quite enjoyable.
Janey was thrilled at the sight of a massive robot and was adamant about taking a photo with it.
Eventually, Stefan hoisted Janey onto his shoulders for a photo with the robot.
Meanwhile, Mitchel returned to his office after a meeting. His brow furrowed at the sight of Katie. "Why are you here?" Katie hesitated briefly and then answered with a smile, "I came to show you the project document." "I see," Mitchel responded and immediately started reviewing the documents on his desk, hardly glancing at her.
Katie, feeling completely overlooked, felt aggrieved. "Mitchel, I actually came here to see you..." But Mitchel cut her off, looking annoyed, "Why are you still here?"
Mitchel's indifference and impatience didn't go unnoticed by Katie. Her mind racked, wondering why he just couldn't fall for her after all herefforts.
Katie's face turned ashen. She hailed from a wealthy family and had never experienced such disregard before.
Realizing that staying would only humiliate her further, Katie decided to leave without a word.
Just as Katie turned around, Mitchel suddenly noticed that his phone was placed in a different place. He immediately called out to her, "Wait, did you touch my phone?"
