It seemed that the psychologist was right.
Janeyâs autism might have been triggered by her longing for a father figure in her life.
While finding a loving father figure for Janey seemed like the solution, the catch was that the man Janey had grown attached to was Raeganâs ex-husband, which made any consideration of remarriage out of the question.
Mitchel walked over to Raegan with Janey in his arms and said, âJaney, be a good girl.
If your mommy agrees, Iâll take you to the amusement park this weekend.
â
Janey turned to look at Raegan with her cute big eyes and asked, âMommy, is that okay?â
Raegan didnât have the heart to refuse Janey, so she replied, âIt depends on whether Iâm busy this weekend.
How about you go in with Annis first? Mommy needs to talk to Mitchel.
â
Although Janey wasnât happy, she obediently nodded.
âGood night, mommy.
Good night, Daddy Mitchel.
â
Once Janey had entered the house, Raegan expressed her gratitude to Mitchel, âThank you for today.
â
Mitchel nodded.
âItâs nothing.
â
Raegan lowered her head and continued, âIâm sorry for what happened yesterday.
â She had learned from the police officers that Darryl had been the one to save her first.
And with Mitchelâs help, she managed to safely escape the hotel.
Mitchelâs Adamâs apple bobbed upon hearing this, and he replied in a hushed tone, âDonât mention it.
Honestly, I was tempted to do something to you.
â
After all, Raegan had been so alluring at that moment, making it impossible for Mitchel to remain composed.
Raeganâs eyes widened in surprise.
She couldnât believe what she had just heard.
Now that Janey wasnât around, Mitchel didnât have to be concerned about his words.
âBut I was afraid you wouldnât forgive me, so I didnât act on it in the end,â he added with a shrug.
âs BunnyBookery His candidness rendered Raegan speechless.
She lifted her gaze to find Mitchel staring at her with his intense eyes.
He was dressed in a sharp black suit, and his figure rendered him strikingly handsome in the dimly lit night.
Particularly eye-catching was the button of his shirt, fastened up to the top, accentuating his prominent Adamâs apple.
Raeganâs cheeks suddenly flushed.
Embarrassed, she shifted the conversation.
âBy the way, regarding the recording, whatâs it all about?â
âWould you like to hear it?â Mitchel clicked on the recording, and the steamy conversation filled the air.
âAre you sure you want it?â Mitchel asked in a hoarse and seemingly strained voice.
âYes, Iâm sure⦠Hmm⦠Why donât you let me do it⦠Naughty manâ¦
Just a bite on your chestâ¦â Raegan responded.
âFine, Iâll let you do it.
But donât be mad at me when youâre finally sober,â Mitchel said.
âHumph!ââ Raeganâs voice in the recording suggested she seemed to be under the effects of the drug, as the rest of the recording consisted of suggestive sounds.
Raegan couldnât bear it any Longer.
She was so mortified that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Did she really say those words? The voice undeniably belonged to her!
Seeing Raeganâs flushed face, Mitchel couldnât help but feel somewhat smug.
He grinned and remarked, âI knew you wouldnât admit it once you sobered up, so I kept the evidence.
â
After taking a deep breath, Raegan managed to regain her composure and implored, âPlease delete it.
