Raegan shot Mitchel a cold stare.
âRelease my hand.
â
Suppressing his anger, Mitchel forcefully pulled her hand and gritted his teeth.
âCome to my side, and Iâll release it!â
Raegan frowned, feeling a sharp pain in her shoulder as Mitchel exerted great force on her hand.
Observing this, Stefan put his arm around Raeganâs shoulder and spoke with a stern expression.
âDidnât you hear Raegan? She asked you to let go of her.
â
Mitchelâs anger flared instantly at Stefanâs intervention, and his voice turned chillingly cold.
âYouâre just an outsider.
How dare you meddle in our private affairs!â
Stefanâs tone remained gentle, but his resolve was unwavering as he retorted, âMr.
Dixon, Iâm afraid you have no right to question me like that, considering Raegan is no longer your wife.
â
Mitchel hadnât anticipated that Stefan would be aware of their divorce.
His once-handsome face turned pallid, almost immediately, as if it had been pierced by a thousand arrows, the pain palpable.
With red eyes, Mitchel hoarsely questioned Raegan, âRaegan, what is your relationship with him?â
At that moment, Mitchelâs face was deathly pale, marked by bloodshot eyes after a sleepless night.
The sorrow in his gaze was painfully evident, making it clear that he was deeply wounded.
However, Raegan met his gaze with a stoic expression.
She had no romantic involvement with Stefan, but she chose not to reveal the truth in an attempt to discourage Mitchel.
Noticing Raeganâs conflicted expression, Stefan raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to speak.
âWith Erickâs approval, Raegan and I are in a relationship.
If things go well, we plan to get married soon.
â
Stefanâs words hit like a thunderbolt, leaving Mitchelâs eyes reddening.
Ignoring Stefanâs presence, he locked his gaze onto Raegan and asked each word with intensity, âIs he telling the truth?â
Raegan hadnât anticipated that Stefan would fabricate such a story.
With Erickâs permission? Marriage? She was left dumbfounded by the unexpected turn of events.
However, considering Mitchelâs dominant personality, Raegan promptly replied, âYes, itâs true.
We are in a relationship!â
The impact of those words was like a bomb detonating.
Mitchel felt as though his heart had been torn apart by her declaration.
His once-handsome face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Taking advantage of the moment, Raegan withdrew her hand and continued, âMr.
Dixon, please donât interfere in my life any longer.
I donât want Stefan to get jealous.
â
Hearing her words, Mitchel was left speechless, feeling as though Raeganâs words had fragmented his very being.
âHow is that possible?â Mitchel exclaimed suddenly, âYou promised me that you wouldnât marry within the next six months!â
âYes, Stefan and I are in a relationship with the intention of marriage, but we are not married yet,â she clarified.
Raegan added calmly, âRest assured.
I intend to keep my promise and marry in six months.
â
Hearing Raeganâs words, Mitchelâs anger surged to new heights.
âRaegan, you should think carefully before speaking.
I agreed to our divorce because you wanted fairness, not because Iâm giving up on you.
