Especially considering she had dressed up just the other night to look nice for dinner.
Mitchel wasnât thinking about what Raegan was wearing.
He was worried she seemed paler than most soon-to-be mothers, who usually look radiant and healthy.
Katie had put on a considerable amount of weight during her pregnancy.
In contrast, Raegan had become noticeably thinner, her features more defined.
Mitchel instinctively felt Raegan hadnât been well-cared for.
Erick was injured and hardly able to take care of her.
âMr.
Dixon, youâre blocking my sun.
â Raegan finally spoke up.
To Raegan, Mitchelâs quiet, steadfast presence was somewhat unsettling, especially as she felt self-conscious about her current condition.
She felt hardly presentable compared to his meticulous grooming.
Reflecting on the recent events, Raegan wondered if those had bothered him.
To prevent any potential mockery, she bit her lip and apologized, âAbout the other night⦠I misunderstood the situation.
Iâm sorry.
â
âItâs okay.
â He moved slightly, letting a beam of sunlight warm her face.
Raegan then noticed the black cane in his hand.
Despite his still-healing leg, he was here, diligently at work.
His involvement in the transnational project made his presence here essential.
Raegan spotted several bodyguards behind Mitchel.
There were also some guys who looked like officials from Aurora, likely due to this very park being part of the project.
She opted to keep quiet.
Now that he seemed to have company, she didnât want to engage with him.
However, Mitchel didnât seem ready to leave and instead started a conversation,.
âAre you accustomed to eating here?â
âYes, itâs fine,â Raegan responded.
Not interested in engaging in conversation, she reminded him, âMr.
Dixon, people are waiting for you.
â
Mitchel didnât miss her point.
He paused and then started, âEloise is.
.
â
âMr.
Dixon, your personal matters donât concern me.
You donât have to explain,â Raegan interrupted.
She couldnât fully explain her feelings, but she really didnât want to delve into his personal life.
Perhaps she was avoiding it.
Already burdened with enough issues, she felt her plate was full.
Seeing Raeganâs unwillingness to listen to him, Mitchel felt exasperated but didnât press further.
It wasnât until later when Stefan approached with ice cream Raeganâs face brightened.
Mitchel was momentarily stunned by Raeganâs beaming face.
Having craved the ice cream for so long, Raegan paid no heed to Mitchelâs presence and stood up to receive the ice cream.
Before Stefan could register Mitchelâs face, he handed the ice cream over to Raegan.
Suddenly, there was a âcrack!â
The ice cream Raegan had just received was knocked out of her hand.
Raegan looked in dismay at the remains of the ice cream, now just half its original amount.
Mitchelâs previously composed face now showed anger as he confronted Stefan.
âWho said you could give her that?â
Stefan, caught off guard by Mitchelâs aggressive questioning, hesitated before replying, âRaegan asked for it.
â
