Raegan felt ironic.
âMr.
Dixon, you worry too much.
Iâm not so undesirable that no one but you can have me.
And I am an adult, capable of making my own choices.
I have the ability to discern right from wrong.
If Iâve made a choice, I will trust that person.
And speaking of making wrong decisions, donât you realize that you have been the biggest wrong decision in my life?â
Raegan had suffered enough when she fell for Mitchel.
She believed no other man could make her as heartbroken as Mitchel.
Mitchelâs expression became stern, and his eyes were filled with aggression.
âAre you dead set on choosing him?â
Raegan didnât want to talk with Mitchel anymore.
âMr.
Dixon, please mind your own business.
Let me out of the car now.
I donât want to cause any misunderstandings.
â After all, Mitchel was getting married soon.
She wanted no further involvement with him.
Mitchel glared at Raegan and said in a severe tone, âYou think he is gentle and civilized? He lives in a barbaric family.
How can his hands be clean and unstained with blood? He might want to change his life.
But have you thought how difficult it will be for him to establish himself somewhere else once his familyâs savage practices are exposed? If things get tough on him, he will likely return to his family in Aurora.
By then, he cannot escape the destiny of having multiple wives arranged by his family.
Are you willing to share a husband with other women?â
Raegan was surprised that Mitchel had prepared such a lengthy argument.
Didnât he know it was incredibly rude to talk about someone elseâs personal matters behind their backs? Moreover, Mitchel had always been prejudiced against Stefan, speaking ill of the latter.
âThis is my business.
Even if I make the wrong decision, I will bear the consequences myself,â Raegan asserted.
Mitchel didnât expect Raegan to be this unwavering in defending Stefan, which reminded him of how she wholeheartedly loved him before.
This made him feel like his heart was being squeezed hard by a giant hand, giving him endless pain.
Aside from the pain, there was also bitterness he couldnât control.
Mitchel couldnât help but scoff.
âIt seems you really love Stefan.
Since these things donât matter to you, it appears you wonât mind leaving this place and living with him in Auroraâ¦â
Suddenly, a slap sound echoed in the car.
Before Mitchel could finish his words, Raeganâs palm landed on his handsome face.
Fuming, Raegan snapped, âMitchel, are you threatening me? Does my displeasure bring you joy? Why do you have to force everyone close to me away? When you told me not to pester you and to stay away from you, I did.
I did everything you asked.
What else do you want?â
Raeganâs eyes reddened, she gripped his shirt and tore several buttons in a hysterical outburst.
âDo I have to be miserable for you to be happy?â
She felt Like she was being driven mad, all her pent-up grievances pouring out at that moment.
âIs that it? Tell me!â
âs BunnyBookery Mitchel, taken aback by her words, his lips quivered as he began to speak, but then he saw Raegan rolling down the car window, attempting to jump out.
âStop the car!â Mitchel roared angrily.
In an instant, Mitchel reached out, grabbing Raegan by the back of her neck and yanking her back forcefully.
The car screeched to a halt, and Raegan lurched forward due to the sudden stop.
Just as she was about to collide with the hard seatback, Mitchel swiftly wrapped her in his arms, cushioning her from the impact.
Raegan braced for impact, using her arm to shield herself.
She had expected it to hurt, so she did her best to protect her body.
To her surprise, she crashed against Mitchelâs chest instead, which lessened her pain significantly.
However, the loud âthumpâ made Raegan worry briefly about Mitchel.
But she soon dismissed the thought, considering his regular workout and muscles.
Plus, there was no actual crash, just a harsh stop, so the impact wasnât severe.
Raegan hadnât really planned to jump out of the car.
She simply did so to force Mitchel to stop the car abruptly, knowing him wouldnât let her get out of the car unless she took drastic action.
