Chapter 159

? ? ? ? ?

Henley looked where Raegan was looking and saw Mitchel. He asked, "Do you want to go somewhere else?"

Raegan shook her head.

«It's not necessary. "This place seems good to me."

He had to accept that, being in the same city as Mitchel, their paths might cross. He couldn't avoid it forever.

Furthermore, it was a public place. Raegan believed that Mitchel wouldn't do anything rude.

Despite this thought, his mind was still in a mess when he saw Mitchel approaching.

And the way he stared at her as she walked gave her goosebumps.

When Mitchel approached their table, Raegan's fight-or-flight response was to suddenly stand up and shout, "You're so annoying!"

As soon as the voice fell, the entire restaurant instantly calmed down.

Raegan felt a little embarrassed as she realized this.

But it was all because she had been very tormented by Mitchel's presence lately and she became a little nervous.

Plus, she hadn't fully recovered from sitting in his car while he drove at breakneck speed.

Mitchel just stared at her, expressionless. That made Raegan even more worried, and he didn't know if he was livid.

The next moment, a young woman ran forward, enthusiastically grabbed Mitchel's arm and called him affectionately: "Mitchel..."

Raegan was stunned. It turned out that Mitchel was telling the truth. Indeed, I had an appointment here.

He even paid more attention to his clothes today just because of a date.

That young woman looked at Raegan and asked impolitely, "What were you referring to just now?"

Raegan was even more stunned.

As the only child of the Benton family, Eloise had always been spoiled and became even angrier when Raegan remained silent.

He lifted his chin and blurted out, "Hey, I'm asking you."

Henley pulled Raegan back and helped her out.

"I'm sorry. "She was angry with me a moment ago."

Eloise frowned but let it go, thinking that Raegan and Henley were a couple having a lover's quarrel.

Mitchel lowered his eyes and looked at Raegan's wrist held by Henley. He frowned, looked at Raegan, and said nonchalantly, "You're flattering yourself."

His tone did not go unnoticed by viewers.

In an instant, more and more curious people were looking at them. They began to imagine things in their minds.

Raegan looked at the crowd stealthily. With a pale face, he pursed his lips and said softly, “I'm sorry.”

Mitchel's heart softened at the sight of Raegan's pale face. His anger subsided a little. He turned around and was about to leave.

However, Eloise was not willing to let Raegan go easily upon learning that Mitchel knew Raegan, judging by her words.

Eloise looked Raegan up and down and thought she was a real beauty.

Unlike today's Internet celebrities, Raegan had unique traits that impressed people.

Her round, watery eyes were so charming that one could become obsessed with them.

Jealous of Raegan's beauty, Eloise's hostility towards Raegan arose in her heart.

The more Eloise looked at Raegan, the angrier she became. He shouted, “Why is your voice so low? Are you apologizing to yourself?

Raegan's heart skipped a beat at Eloise's words. His face became even paler.

If Mitchel hadn't been looking at her, she wouldn't have misunderstood him.

It was obvious that he had deceived her.

Eloise was still staring at Raegan.

"Are you apologizing or not?"

"Well, I'm just flattering myself."

As soon as he said this, tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at Henley and said, "Let's go."

He couldn't afford to stay here any longer.

Henley nodded. He put his arm around Raegan's waist, turned her around, and walked away.

As they walked away, Raegan could still hear Eloise murmuring behind her.

«Mitchel, women today are good at flattering themselves. But I don't think they deserve it."

Raegan stopped dead.

Then he walked faster, leaving Henley far behind.

Meanwhile, Mitchel's eyes were fixed on them.

When Eloise followed Mitchel's gaze and saw Raegan's back, jealousy overwhelmed her.

«Mitchel, you are here to go on a blind date with me. Why don't you stop looking at her?

Eloise was not careful with her words and always said whatever she wanted.

Mitchel turned his head suddenly and gave him a cold look.

Under his warning gaze, she didn't dare say anything else.

"Do you know me well?" Mitchel asked nonchalantly.

"What do you mean?" Eloise asked confused.

“Don't act like we get along. "I just met you."

Mitchel was rarely so direct. But at that moment, his anger was palpable and anyone could see it in his tone.

Eloise, seemingly innocent, was unaware of his fury.

She blushed after taking a look at Mitchel's handsome face. And then he said quietly, “I know why I'm here. My father said I will be your wife.

She had only seen photos of Mitchel before, thinking that his photos were photographed since she thought no man could be that handsome.

But as soon as she saw him in person, she was immediately fascinated by him. To her, Mitchel was even more handsome than he seemed in the photos.

ALL of Mitchel's features seemed carefully sculpted. A single look from her charming eyes could make your heart race. He was the most handsome man I had ever seen.

Not only his looks, but also his temperament were extraordinary.

The celebrities he had seen in person couldn't compare to him.

After a few moments, Eloise gathered her courage, raised her head and said, "Mitchel, do you like...?"

He stopped abruptly, as Mitchel was nowhere to be seen.

Where had Mitchel gone? It wasn't over yet.

Eloise hurriedly looked around and found him walking towards the door.

Looking at his tall, straight back, Eloise's face turned even more crimson and her eyes filled with affection.

It was perfect from any angle I looked at it. He liked it even more.

Raegan sat in Henley's car in silence. He didn't say a word on the way.

Eloise's words repeated in his mind, and he found that they made sense.

She and Mitchel were two different words. They were never meant for each other.

When she and Mitchel were still together, Lauren had fallen madly in love with Mitchel. Now that they were divorced, another admirer appeared.

Mitchel was popular with women. And the woman next to her would never be her. He didn't deserve a man of position and wealth like Mitchel.

With this understanding, she convinced herself that she should calm down, as it was an undeniable fact.

But the emotions surging in his heart were overwhelming.

Mitchel continued to affect his emotions. It continued to have a huge impact on her.

He realized that he was panicking. I had already tried to forget him and move on.

But he could always locate her and appear, striking her down suddenly.

Fortunately, he had already contacted his former mentor and requested to continue his studies abroad.

After paying off his debt, he would prepare to go abroad.

Raegan believed that if she was away from Mitchel, she could move on and start a new life.

“Raegan…”

Raegan only came to her senses after Henley called her twice.

He was quick to apologize, “I'm sorry, Henley. What did you say?

Seeing that Raegan was in a trance, a touch of melancholy flashed in Henley's eyes. He knew Mitchel had been on his mind before. But he quickly returned to his normal self when Raegan turned to look at him.

"I was wondering if pretending to be my girlfriend tonight bothers you, feel free to say what you think. "I can understand it."

He smiled bitterly.

"I'll handle them myself."

To be honest, Raegan was moved by Henley's story with her determination to pursue her crush so lovingly.

Furthermore, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was partly responsible for Henley's suffering. After thinking about it for a while, he agreed.

"It's okay, Henley. I can pretend to be your girlfriend. But only once. I don't think it's a good idea if the performance continues. What if the girl you've been chasing misunderstands us?

"It would only make the situation worse."

Henley nodded with a smile. He then took Raegan to the studio for costume and makeup. It made her look the way her parents liked her.

Raegan didn't complain. She was willing to help Henley after he had helped her countless times. She thought it was just dinner, nothing special.

But things took a sudden turn from their expectations. He never thought he'd meet Mitchel at dinner when she showed up as Henley's supposed girlfriend.
