Raegan put on a calm smile and replied softly, âI wonât leave.
â
âRaeganâ¦â Mitchel held her tightly in his arms.
His heart was filled with joy.
He was like a happy child who had retrieved the most precious toy he had lost.
ââRaegan, you must trust me about Laurenâs matter.
I wonât lie to you.
â
Raegan stared blankly out of the car window and said softly, âI trust you.
â
But deep down, she wouldnât place trust in him anymore.
The Raegan who always chose to trust Mitchel in the past no longer existed.
Mitchel felt something was wrong.
He couldnât believe Raegan would change so easily.
Raegan did her best to suppress the emotions in her heart.
She said in a low voice, âCan you take me to see Nicole quickly?â
Knowing what happened to the Lawrence family, Mitchel couldnât help frowning.
He focused on the road and drove Raegan to the mourning hall.
Raegan saw Nicole sitting on one side of the mourning hall.
The stream of guests came and went, but Nicole remained motionless.
It was as if she didnât see anything.
She sat there like a lifeless doll.
Jarrod was also there, but he kept a distance from Nicole.
He sat on the other side, far from the main hall.
Nicole always got agitated and lost control of herself when she saw Jarrod.
Jarrod was afraid of distressing her more, so he stayed as far away from her as possible while watching her.
Raegan didnât even spare a glance at Jarrod even when Mitchel chatted with Jarrod.
Raegan went straight to the main hall.
After paying respect to the dead, Raegan walked to Nicole and sat beside her.
Raegan called out softly, âNicoleâ¦â
Raegan realized she was at a loss for words.
Her tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She could only reach out and hug Nicole tightly.
Raeganâs soft voice touched Nicoleâs numbed heart.
Finally, Nicole Lost control of the emotions she had been suppressing.
She broke down.
She hugged Raegan back tightly and sobbed in Raeganâs arms.
Both Raegan and Nicole cried uncontrollably as if no one else was around.
The depression and pain were just too much for them to bear.
After pouring out their emotions, Raegan helped Nicole to the other side of the hall to rest.
Mitchel and Jarrod didnât follow them.
They knew that Raegan and Nicole had a lot to talk about in private.
As soon as Raegan and Nicole stepped aside, Raegan asked at once, âNicole, why did your dad commit suicide?â
Nicole sighed.
âBecause of the company.
