Uncomfortably, Mitchel conceded, âAnyway, steer clear from this man.
Raegan, incensed, shot back, âMr.
Dixon, by what right do you dictate my life?â
âIâm Looking out for your own good,â Mitchel insisted.
Her patience worn thin, Raegan countered, âHow gracious.
But perhaps, Mr.
Dixon, you should tend to your own affairs?â
Their bickering escalated.
To onlookers, they resembled a quarreling couple rather than two who had parted ways.
A chill flickered in Henleyâs gaze as he seized Raeganâs wrist, stating firmly, âWeâre leaving, Raegan.

âStay, Raegan,â Mitchel intervened, clutching her other hand with an icy tone.
âLet me take you home.
Ignore him.

Raegan decisively freed herself from Mitchelâs grasp, replying simply, âNo, thank you.

Mitchelâs expression darkened at her swift rejection.
âDo you actually believe heâs decent? Are you aware of his vileness?â

Now that sheâs single, I intend to pursue her.

Raegan stood, astounded by the revelation.

Mitchelâs temper flared instantly.

Henley, unyielding as never before, countered with a swift punch to Mitchelâs jaw.
They scuffled, each refusing to yield.
In healthier days, Mitchel wouldâve easily subdued Henley, but his recent illness left him winded after a few strikes.
Raegan cried out, desperate, âEnough! Stop it, Mitchel!â
Mitchel hesitated, his fist midair, which Henley used to taunt further, âI plan to court and marry Raegan.
