Raeganâs concern wasnât for Mitchel, though.
She wanted to prevent Janey from growing fond of someone who might not always be around due to health issues.
Mitchel offered a resigned smile.
âAlright, Iâll listen to you.
It wonât happen again.
â
Once again, Raegan found herself without words.
The family driver was already nearby, waiting.
She stepped into the car without another look at Mitchel.
As Raeganâs car pulled away, Mitchel watched her determined departure, feeling a pang of sadness yet a strange sense of satisfaction.
This interaction wasnât a complete loss.
Inside the car, Matteo started the engine and soon shared, âMr.
Dixon, your father has been visiting Swynborough more often lately.
Heâs been meeting with a biologist, according to our findings.
â
Mitchel, attempting to relax, adjusted his tie and murmured, âDig deeper.

Mitchel had always been baffled by his fatherâs behavior.
Despite their familial ties, they often seemed more like adversaries.
After Matteo acknowledged, he took a moment to look at Mitchel through the rearview mirror, suggesting, âMr.
Dixon, maybe you should take some time to rest?â
The signs of a sleepless night were evident on Mitchelâs face, though his features remained strikingly handsome.
After a brief silence, Mitchel inquired, âDo I appear much older?â
Matteo, caught off guard, could only utter, âHuh?â
âHave I changed much from before?â Mitchel examined his reflection on the carâs LCD screen, which showed no noticeable difference.
Yet, Raeganâs remarks had planted seeds of doubt regarding his once-unquestionable allure.
It took a moment for Matteo to grasp the depth of Mitchelâs concern.
It seemed Mitchel was concerned about his appearance.
Matteo, ever honest, reassured Mitchel without flattery, âMr.
Dixon, youâre as handsome as ever.
â
Mitchel, finding some comfort in Matteoâs words, leaned back to rest, directing, âLetâs head to the company.

Meanwhile, Raegan was engrossed in her work at the studio when Elin rushed in, looking distressed.
âRaegan, youâve got to see this,â Elin urged, handing over a tablet.
The screen was flooded with trending news about Crescent and Arthen Entertainment, each headline marked with an alarming âExplosiveâ tag.
