Katie gazed at Mitchel.
Though Mitchel appeared somewhat frail, his charm was undeniable.
She couldnât hide her happiness at the sight of him, grinning widely.
âIâve been longing to hug you.
Itâs been so long.
However, I didnât expect you to be so fragile.
â
Mitchel asked, âWhy are you dressed like this?â
Since childhood, Katie always wore tomboyish clothes.
Mitchel had mistaken her for a boy before and played with her.
Katie maintained this style until she was about fifteen or sixteen.
Since then, Mitchel hadnât seen her in such attire, mainly due to her time spent overseas.
Katieâs face tensed briefly at Mitchelâs question, but she quickly replied with a hint of defiance, âDonât you like it?â
Mitchel chose not to comment on her appearance, steering clear of critiquing a womanâs choice of clothing.
His heart, however, had been captivated by Raeganâs smile from the moment he first saw her.
Katieâs smile returned, and she shrugged with an air of nonchalance.
âIf it bothers you, just see me as the same old Katie.
I havenât really changed.
â
Mitchel cast a glance at her and abruptly seized her wrist.
âHow did you get this bracelet?â
Katie winced, feeling the pain from his tight grip.
She furrowed her brows.
âItâs a gift from Luciana.

Mitchelâs expression turned stern.
He didnât beat around the bush.
âTake it off.
â
Katie was surprised, struggling to understand his reaction.
âMitchel, since when did you become so possessive?â
Without offering an explanation, Mitchel repeated his command.
âTake it off.
â
Anger surged within Katie, and tears began to well in her eyes.
She attempted to remove the bracelet, but her strong grip made it slip from her hand, shattering on the floor.
âOh no!â
