Let's Wait And See Seeing that Raegan said nothing, Lauren pressed on, "Don't kid yourself just because Mitchel demanded me
to clarify the relationship between him and me to you.
Everyone in Ardlens knows how much he cherishes me.
Trust me, if anything happens to me, he'd drop everything, run to my side, and leave you in the dust." Raegan slightly raised her
eyebrows and calmly responded, "Are you scared of losing him?” "You!" Lauren uttered in shock.
Well, Raegan was right.
What she feared most was losing Mitchel to Raegan.
How could she not be worried? Lately, Mitchel seemed more tuned into Raegan.
But soon, something seemed to cross Lauren's mind.
Lauren felt it was meaningless to waste her time with Raegan like this.
Therefore, she decided to end the conversation with a smirk.
"Let's wait and see.” As she prepared to leave, Lauren's eyes lingered on Raegan's belly, her gaze filled with malice.
The thought that Raegan could sleep with Mitchel at any time and that Raegan was even pregnant with his child filled her with
jealousy.
Lauren wished she could skin Raegan alive and make the latter out of the picture forever.
Without Raegan, she would already have become Mitchel's wife.
And soon, very soon, she would make Raegan pay.
Once Lauren was gone, Raegan stayed put for a moment and tried to steady her racing heart.
Lauren's questions had struck a chord.
Lauren had asked her whether she was afraid, and the answer was a resounding yes.
Raegan felt even more on edge than Lauren.
If Mitchel were out of the picture, Lauren would still have her family as a safety net.
Raegan, on the other hand, had only her grandmother in her corner.
Sometimes, people clung to the hope like a life raft.
Even when the odds were long, they would hang on and keep pushing until all hope was gone.
And this was exactly how Raegan felt after the whirlwind events.
At this moment, Raegan wandered along the hospital corridors, lost in thought, when she bumped into Henley.
With a bandage on his arm, Henley bent down to pick up the water bottle with difficulty.
Seeing this, Raegan stepped in, grabbed the bottle, and handed it to him.
"Raegan,” Henley greeted with a warm smile.
Interestingly, he did not ask why she was at the hospital.
This made Raegan feel a twinge of guilt.
After all, she was the reason Henley was injured.
Seeing that Henley tried and failed to open the bottle, Raegan twisted the cap off and handed it back to him.
Instead of taking the bottle right away, Henley asked, "Could you help me take a sip?" It was then that Raegan realized his other
hand was also injured.
She tilted the bottle to his lips and let him take a sip.
Henley thought that while it might not have been as sweet as before, it was still sweet.
A few moments later, Raegan put the cap back on the bottle and looked at Henley, her eyes filled with sincerity.
"I'm really sorry, Henley.
I apologize to you on Mitchel's behalf.” Henley paused for a moment and reassured her, “It's okay, Raegan.
Anyway, how are you? Are you alright?" "I'm fine.
I realized I never formally introduced Mitchel to you.
He’s my husband, and he's promised me he won't give you any more trouble." Henley smiled.
“It's fine, really.
It was all a misunderstanding.
His assistant had smoothed everything over." Soon after, they said their goodbyes, and Raegan headed back to Mitchel’'s ward.
Inside his ward, Mitchel was looking at some photos sent by a stranger on his phone, and his expression darkened like a storm
cloud rolling in.
He turned to Luis and asked, "Do you know why Raegan was at the hospital yesterday?" Caught off guard, Luis hesitated but
chose his words carefully, knowing Mitchel was in no mood for unwelcome surprises.
"When I saw Raegan, she was talking to Henley, but it might've just been a coincidence.
Don't read too much into it.” Luis was telling the truth.
Raegan had never mentioned who she was visiting.
Mitchel, however, recalled Raegan saying she had not come to the hospital for him.
When Raegan walked back into the ward, she found Mitchel alone and in a foul mood.
Without a word, he beckoned her over.
Then, he kissed her, a kiss that seemed to stretch on until Raegan had to pull away.
Well, Mitchel was injured, so he should take it easy for now.
However, Mitchel was having none of it.
He leaned in, his lips grazing her ear as he whispered something that made her face turn beet red.
"Do all the men like that?" she asked, a little embarrassed.
Mitchel smiled wantonly, and his eyes twinkled with mischief.
"Yes, so I should have a taste of that," he responded, his tone light but edged with desire.
Annoyed, Raegan gave him a playful punch on his chest.
"In that case, I won't let you touch me again.” Hearing her words, Mitchel dramatically clutched his chest and winced in pain.
Raegan's eyes widened in panic, and she worriedly asked, "Did I hurt you?" "Yes, it hurts,” Mitchel said, his voice tinged with
mock sorrow.
"You've broken my heart." Raegan was at a loss for words.
"I've just been rejected.
My heart is in pieces," he continued, clearly enjoying the moment.
As Raegan listened to him, she had the overwhelming urge to beat his ass.
Just then, she unintentionally revealed a bit of skin.
Mitchel seized the opportunity and grabbed her waist.
"Have you been gaining weight?” Raegan hastily tugged at her clothes in panic.
"Of course not.” She was only two months pregnant, and her baby bump was not yet visible.
Furthermore, she no longer had morning sickness, and her appetite was finally back on track.
So, she ate more than usual to nourish the baby flourishing inside her.
As a result, she gained some weight.
She had every intention of sharing the news of her pregnancy with Mitchel, but not just yet.
Considering their relationship, she decided to tell him the truth after the first trimester.
Regardless of how Mitchel felt about it, she was going to have this baby.
"You know, it's kinda nice to hold onto.” Mitchel reached out to tease her waist again and did not stop until she begged for mercy..
In the days that followed, Raegan stayed by Mitchel’s side in the hospital.
Thankfully, he was physically strong, which meant he was discharged within a week.
After his discharge, he was swamped with work, so they were unable to see each other for three days.
Though she missed him very much, Raegan tried not to overthink it.
Raegan had been visiting her grandmother regularly for the past few days.
However, her grandma had been more lethargic recently, often dozing off by the time Raegan arrived at the nursing home.
Therefore, Raegan decided to switch up her routine and visit her grandma in the afternoon instead.
Before going to the nursing home, Raegan decided to stop by Mitchel’s company.
Mitchel had not fully recovered, yet his schedule was jam-packed.
Concerned about his well-being, Raegan made him some nutritious soup with the help of the housekeeper.
On her way to his company, she shot Mitchel a message, asking whether he was busy.
However, no response came from him.
Once Raegan reached the building, she took the exclusive CEO access card to take the elevator.
Then, she ran into Matteo, who seemed a bit flustered when they bumped into each other.
A sense of unease crept in, but Raegan managed to keep her composure.
"Is Mitchel available?” "Mr.
Dixon is in his office now..." Matteo trailed off midsentence.
It seemed like he wanted to say more but thought better of it.
By then, Raegan was already walking away.
As she entered the office, the blinds were up, allowing natural light to filter in.
Mitchel sat at his desk, engrossed in his work, looking so handsome in his black shirt.
In Raegan's eyes, there was something irresistibly attractive about him being focused on his work.
Sitting next to him was Lauren, dressed in a way that screamed she was a competent office lady.
She looked rather eye-catching in her outfit.
It was said that the most sexy moment of a man was when he concentrated on his work.
Right now, Mitchel certainly fitted the bill.
So Raegan could understand, in some way, why Lauren was so fixated on Mitchel.
Still, Raegan felt uncomfortable with Lauren's fixation on Mitchel.
Matteo, a bead of sweat forming on his temple, quickly explained, "Miss Murray has recently taken over her family's business
from her father.
She's here to discuss some particulars with Mr.
Dixon." However, just as Matteo was giving Raegan the rundown, Lauren sidled up a little too close to Mitchel.
They were reading some documents, but their proximity raised eyebrows.
Matteo's forehead glistened with a fresh layer of cold sweat.
He cast a sidelong glance at Raegan.
There was no expression on her face, so it was hard to tell whether she was pissed and jealous.
From where Lauren sat, she could easily see someone standing outside the window.
Seeing Raegan, a provocative smile appeared on her face.
In Lauren's mind, Raegan should have been slinking away, overwhelmed with insecurity.
After all, Raegan had already been fortunate enough to have married Mitchel.
How could she make a scene over something so minor? Moreover, Lauren assumed Mitchel was not the kind to let any woman
spar with her.
So, Raegan would just have to endure the grievance by herself.
If things went on like this, Raegan would go nuts sooner or later.
Lauren had thought about this thoroughly.
But to her surprise, Raegan just knocked on the door and swung it open.
Mitchel was highlighting the key points of the documents.
When he heard the sound of footsteps, he did not even bother to raise his head and coldly said, "Get out.”
