After Nicoleâs tragic end, Raegan found herself engulfed in a sense of despair.
She couldnât contain her impatience when confronting Mitchel.
âMitchel, do you take me for a fool? If the child isnât yours, why is she calling you? I have sent the divorce papers to your email.
Please check it and sign as soon as possible,â Raegan said steely.
Mitchelâs reaction was swift and irritable.
His face contorted abruptly as he replied, âRaegan, I donât want to hear about the divorce again!â
Raegan was perplexed.
Why would Mitchel refuse to divorce her when Lauren was expecting his child? What was going through his mind? Was he planning to let her to take care of Laurenâs baby? The idea seemed ludicrous to her.
Whenever Raegan thought about Laurenâs past actions, she wished she could take vengeance on Lauren.
That was why she had no intention of raising Laurenâs child.
âDonât push me too far, Mitchel! Are you suggesting I raise Laurenâs child? Fat chance! I wouldnât even raise a cat or a dog with you, let alone the child of that woman!â She felt repulsed by Mitchelâs apparent idea.
âOf course not.
I have never even considered it,â Mitchel replied, his frown deepening.
âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Raeganâs thoughts were a whirlwind.
Her heart ached whenever she thought of the loss of her unborn child.
However, revealing the truth without evidence would be futile because Mitchel wouldnât believe her.
Moreover, Mitchel had let Lauren frame her over the past few months.
The relationship between Mitchel and Lauren was complicated, so Raegan knew that changing Mitchelâs mind wouldnât be easy.
So, she had little hope that Mitchel would seek justice for her and the baby, especially against Lauren.
âKyle is the father of Laurenâs child!â Looking at Raeganâs enraged expression, Mitchel blurted it out suddenly.
âWhat did you just say?â Raegan questioned, her eyes widening in disbelief.
She never expected that.
The revelation that Lauren and Kyle were involved shocked her.
âItâs Kyleâs child,â Mitchel confirmed.
Mitchel gently touched Raeganâs hair with his slender hand and continued, âThatâs all I can reveal for now.
Trust me, Iâll explain everything later.
â
Revealing this information now was risky for Mitchel.
Alexis had tried all means to seize control of the company these days.
and Kyle held critical evidence against Alexis.
Kyle had agreed to cooperate with Mitchel, but only if Laurenâs baby remained safe.
At that time, Kyle had been imprisoned for a crime.
After the scene Alexis had made, Kyle contacted Mitchel and promised unconditional cooperation as long as Laurenâs baby was kept safe.
Mitchel had to create the impression that Lauren was carrying his child to ensure the babyâs safety from any harm Alexis might pose.
These complexities made Mitchel cautious about sharing too much with Raegan.
If she could endure it for three months, Mitchel believed he could defeat Alexis.
Thinking of Nicoleâs tragic end, Mitchel felt a twinge of unease.
Raegan was acting strangely, likely deeply saddened by Nicoleâs death.
Just earlier at the graveyard, she cried so bitterly that she even expressed a desire to harm Jarrod.
Mitchel closely observed Raegan, his intuition telling him that something was amiss.
Staring at her intently, Mitchel asked hoarsely, âRaegan, you wonât leave me, right?â
Given a choice, Mitchel would prefer to keep Raegan close, perhaps even lock her up.
Moreover, Raegan had been pushing for a divorce lately, adding to Mitchelâs concerns.
