Mitchelâs action surprised Raegan.
His forceful motion caused Raegan to stumble and fall and the wallet to fly out of her grasp.
Pain seared through Raeganâs hand.
She must have scr@ped her skin on the floor.
Moreover, her ankle throbbed, possibly sprained.
Hearing a yelp, Mitchel impatiently turned around.
His expression shifted to shock upon seeing Raegan on the floor.
He immediately extended his hand to help.
But then, Nicole happened to emerge from the bathroom and pushed him away.
Nicole had seen how Mitchel mercilessly pushed Raegan away.
Without a second thought, she rushed up to Mitchel and jabbed her finger at him.
âAre you a man or not? How could you hit your ex-wife?!â
Mitchelâs face turned pale.
He wanted to approach Raegan and apologize, but Nicole blocked his way.
At the same time, Eloise came out of the restroom.
Upon hearing from Nicole that Raegan was Mitchelâs mysterious ex-wife, she stood there, utterly stunned.
She feared Raegan might attempt to rekindle her relationship with Mitchel.
It was not impossible, considering Raegan was pretty.
Without thinking, Eloise rushed to Nicole and snapped, âHow dare you push him! Donât you have any manners?â
Indignant on Raeganâs behalf, Nicole retorted, âIâd push him again if I could.
Heâs a jerk!â
Eloise then glared at Raegan and began berating her.
âSo, youâre Mitchelâs ex-wife.
Have you no shame? How could you show up at his office when youâre already divorced? Have some self-respect.
Donât bother Mitchel.
Donât stoop so low.
â
The noise around them grew.
For a moment, Raegan felt a wave of dizziness.

As the scene before her appeared to recede, Raeganâs memory took over, and she recalled the times Mitchel had done similar things but with Lauren.
She narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time.
Mitchel at this moment overlapped his image from her memories.
Mitchel had not changed, and she always ended up enduring the pain.
âWhat are you talking about? Youâre the one obsessed with Mitchel.
Raegan left him,â Nicole sneered.
Nicole and Eloiseâs argument escalated, drawing the attention of everyone around.
âNicole, please, no more fighting,â Raegan interjected.
Her voice, though not loud, cut through the heated exchange.
She limped forward, picked up the wallet, and extended it toward Eloise.
With a resigned smile, Raegan said, âHe dropped his wallet.
I found it and intended to return it.
Please, donât misunderstand.
Not everyone wants to get back with their ex.
â
With those words, Raegan grasped Nicoleâs hand and walked away, avoiding Mitchelâs gaze.
