As Raegan walked away, her feet ached, and her steps were rigid.
But she was determined not to show her discomfort.
She focused on walking with as much grace as possible and masked any sign of pain.
Meanwhile, Mitchel looked visibly upset.
Eloise handed over his wallet and muttered, âYour ex-wifeâs friend is so aggressive.
It makes me think your ex-wife must be difficult, too.
Itâs good that youâre no longer together.
As she spoke, she felt a sudden chill.
She looked up and met Mitchelâs icy stare.
âWho said you have the right to judge?â he snarled, which sent shivers down Eloiseâs spine.
âMitchel, Iâ¦â
Mitchel had no interest in listening to her and cut her off with a cold look, âRaegan never chased after me.
It was always the other way around.
Eloiseâs heart sank, and tears welled up in her eyes.
âHow can you say that, Mitchel? Your father said Iâd be your wifeâ¦â
âHe doesnât make my decisions,â Mitchel replied sharply.
Not wanting to talk to her anymore, he took his wallet and dismissed her bluntly, âLeave now.
I donât want to see you again.

Raeganâs condition worsened with each step.
With a sigh, Nicole supported Raegan and offered, âIâll bring the car around.
Wait for me here.

As night fell, the dim street lights flickered on.

Standing at the door, Raegan was engulfed in sadness.
Then, she felt something cold on her face.
She touched it and realized they were tears.
Before she could ponder further, Nicoleâs car headlights illuminated her.
Not wanting Nicole to see her tears, Raegan quickly wiped them away.
In the car, Nicole tried to lighten the mood with humor.
A few moments later, she peered into her rearview mirror and frowned.
âDoesnât that guy in the car behind us look like that jerk Mitchel?â
Raegan glanced back and saw a silver luxury car.
It was hard to identify the driver.
Knowing Mitchelâs collection of cars, Raegan could not be certain it was him.
Nicole could not see the driver clearly as well, so she just offered a reminder.
