âThose were all posted during the time you left.
At the time, I didnât ask about company matters.
My mom and the others pulled those false news, but Iâve had them retracted since then.
â Mitchel pinched her lips and declared, âJust wait.
Three days from now and Iâll have the legal team release a statement making it clear that there is no connection between the Glyn and Dixon families except for collaboration.
â
Raeganâs heart swelled with warmth when she heard his explanation.
A second later, she clamped down on the emotion welling up in her heart.
It was inappropriate for her to feel this way.
She still remembered her brotherâs words.
She couldnât fall for Mitchelâs words easily, nor could she allow herself to be swayed.
Maintaining a stoic expression, Raegan declared in a tight voice, âWhat am I waiting for? This is something you and Miss Glyn need to deal with.
It has nothing to do with me.
â
Mitchel couldnât bear to have her alienate herself from him, so he pulled her into his arms.
âHow can it have nothing to do with you?â
He embraced her tightly, pulling her close to him.
âYou are my wife, and ours is the most intimate relationship in the world.
â
Mitchelâs voice was deep and enticing, with a hint of persuasion.
Raeganâs face turned red and she pushed him away in an attempt to escape from his embrace.
âWhat wife? Weâre divorced.
â
Mitchelâs embrace grew tighter, his words heavy with emotion.
âEven though we are divorced, you will always be my wife in my heart.
I have no desire to find another wife.
â
âBut, butâ¦â Raegan thought of a way to refute his words.
After a while, she remarked, âI have someone I want to date.
â
Instantly, Mitchelâs eyes darkened.
He knew she was going to bring up Stefan again.
Even though he was almost certain they hadnât started dating yet, he couldnât help but feel jealous.
Mitchelâs handsome face was coated with a delicate layer of frost.
He fixed his intense eyes on Raegan and stated in a sharp tone, âDonât tell me youâre interested in someone else.
Even if youâre already seeing someone, I donât care.
â
His tone was aggressive, not allowing any objections.
Raegan thought this domineering man was going to threaten her again, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Mitchel noticed her frown and quickly changed the topic.
âI donât care even if I become your lover.
That way, Iâm Janeyâs stepfather.
â
âWhat?â Reganâs went wide and she even convinced herself she had misheard him.
Mitchel was too embarrassed to repeat those words.
He just blurted out what was on his mind the moment he saw her frown, not wanting to see Raegan mad at him.
He pretended to clear his throat and huffed, âNever mind.
If you didnât hear it, then you can forget it.
â
But how could Raegan forget it? She heard him very clearly.
She mulled his words over and burst out laughing so hard she started coughing.

Mitchelâs face turned ugly, but he still reached out to pat her back.
âWhatâs so funny?â
âYou want to be my Lover? Janeyâs stepfather?â Raegan ignored his unpleasant expression and mercilessly mocked him.
Their conversation was disrupted by the door being slammed open.
At this time, Matteo entered Mitchelâs ward.
He walked in just in time to hear Mitchelâs comment about âbeing Raeganâs lover.
â He couldnât help but lower his head and let out a small laugh.
Earlier, while he was instructed to lead Raegan to prepare the soup for Mitchel, Matteo realized the nurse in disguise was actually Raegan.
