Raegan was still in shock when Mitchel abruptly ended the call.
Mitchel looked at Raegan coldly and harshly and said, “Funny coincidence.
"He was about to go to the same place he asked you to go."
Then he picked her up suddenly, catching her off guard.
Raegan's face collided with her chest and bounced, startling her.
Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He was embarrassed when he felt the gaze of the people passing by. So she released her grip, grabbed the button of his suit, and whispered, “Please put me down.
"I'm in a hurry and you're walking very slowly," Mitchel replied.
Raegan was surprised.
«If you're in a hurry, go do your thing. "I don't need you to take me."
Ignoring her words, Mitchel drove her to the parking lot and unceremoniously placed her in the passenger seat, buckling her seatbelt.
Raegan didn't want to go with him. He unbuckled his belt and tried to open the door, but it was closed.
Turning to Mitchel, he begged, "Would you please open the door?"
Mitchel looked at her and asked, "Aren't you supposed to have a date?"
Before Raegan could respond, Mitchel's eyes turned cold and she added, "Let me give you a ride so you can get to your appointment sooner."
His cold attitude made Raegan feel like she was about to be punished.
He didn't dare argue.
Mitchel put a hand on the wheel but didn't start the car.
He asked, "If I hadn't shown up today, were you going to tell Kyler about our divorce?"
Raegan remained silent. Although he had not expressed his intentions, he had thought about it.
Mitchel scoffed, “You're very special, Raegan. To be with another man, you don't care about Kyler's status.
Raegan, however, couldn't help but feel that Kyler was doing much better than Mitchel made it seem.
She responded, "Are you planning on hiding it from Kyler forever? He had shown no signs of being unhappy when I asked him what would happen if you and I broke up..."
With every word Raegan spoke, the light in Mitchel's eyes seemed to fade.
Finally, it exploded.
Mitchel angrily threw some reports at the car's central control console.
He said in a frustrated tone, “Take a look at these!”
Mitchel's frustration was palpable. He had used so much force throwing the reports that two pieces of paper scraped Raegan's face.
Raegan felt a little pain as the sharp edge of the paper scraped a red mark across her face.
Although he didn't say anything, he picked up the reports and began to read.
The report said: "Premature contractions of heart valves... Multiple organs show signs of deterioration..."
Many of the medical terms were beyond his understanding, but he could discern that Kyler's condition was far from good.
Her eyes filled with tears and a drop fell on the paper.
Seeing the tear, Mitchel stiffened and his anger passed.
He wondered if he had been too harsh with his words.
Seeing the red marks on his face scraped by the paper, Mitchell felt a pang of anguish. He couldn't help but reach out his hand to ease her pain.
However, when Raegan saw his outstretched hand, her expression quickly changed. He blocked her hand and hurriedly said, “I’m sorry.
"I won't tell Kyler about our divorce."
Mitchel's hand remained in the air, frozen and motionless.
What did his expression mean?
Did you really think I would hit him?
No matter how angry he was, he had never raised his hand to her. How could he think that he would resort to violence?
Suddenly, Mitchel's heart broke.
The next moment, Raegan said, “I promise I won't tell him about our divorce, but I don't want to act like a loving couple with you in front of him. So, next time you and I visit, let's go separately on different days to avoid any awkwardness, okay?
A heavy silence filled the car.
Mitchel gripped the steering wheel so hard that his knuckles turned white and his lips formed a thin line.
Well… She didn't want to be around him that much, did she?
Suddenly, with a thunderous roar, the car rushed forward like an arrow from a bow.
Raegan quickly grabbed the handle to steady herself and tried to fasten her seat belt.
The sudden start of the car drained the color from his ruddy face.
She was so uncomfortable that her breathing became erratic.
“Could you go slower?”
It seemed that Mitchel hadn't heard her. His gaze remained fixed forward, an aura of cold determination surrounding him.
However, he had slowed down a bit.
Mitchel drove the car down a less traveled route. Although she didn't go over the speed limit, the strong acceleration left Raegan dizzy and dazed.
Raegan wanted to ask him why he was in such a hurry, but the nausea from motion sickness plagued her. He closed his eyes and leaned back, hoping that would ease his discomfort.
During the ride, Henley continued calling her, concerned for her well-being.
Finally, Raegan managed to answer.
Henley asked, "Raegan, where are you?"
Raegan's voice shook as she weakly replied, "It should be here soon."
Henley refrained from saying more and simply said, "Okay, I'll wait for you by the entrance."
Suddenly, the car accelerated again. Raegan's trembling hand caused her phone to slip under her feet, but she lacked the strength to retrieve it. Her main goal was to stay alive.
Finally, he spotted the coffee shop and saw Henley waiting by the road.
Panicking, Raegan yelled, “Stop!”
But Mitchel didn't pay attention.
He tried a different tactic, threatening: "If you don't stop, I'll throw up."
With a screech, the car stopped just inches from Henley.
Raegan's face had paled. On the other hand, although Henley's expression changed briefly, he quickly composed himself.
Raegan was still panicking.
Mitchel was acting crazy!
He grabbed his phone and got out of the car without saying a word.
As soon as he got out of the car, his legs gave out.
Luckily, Henley ran to her side and picked her up.
Her strength seemed to have deserted her as she leaned on Henley.
Although she felt impolite, she couldn't muster the energy to stand up on her own. His legs had turned to jelly.
"Are you OK?" Raegan heard Henley's soothing voice echo from above.
However, Henley was looking at Mitchel.
If looks could kill, Henley would have dropped dead on the spot.
Raegan's hands, still holding Henley's waist, trembled uncontrollably.
Compared to Mitchel, who had been driving silently at breakneck speed, Henley's patience and support made her feel strangely safe.
After a while, Raegan regained her balance and apologized, “I'm sorry.
"I got a little dizzy."
"Don't worry". Henley shook it off gracefully. Then he extended his arm like a gentleman and said, "Let us enter."
Once seated, Raegan gulped down an entire cup of coffee to clear her head.
What Henley revealed next left her stunned.
Henley fell out with his family because of his feelings for a girl.
Instead of taking care of the family business, he chose to work for a company. However, as he had many problems at work, his parents began to pressure him to return to the family business and propose a marriage of convenience. But he didn't want a loveless marriage. He had someone he desperately wanted to marry.
That's why Henley wanted Raegan to pretend to be his girlfriend tonight during dinner with her parents, who had just returned from abroad.
Although Henley's words were not direct, Raegan was clear that she had lost her job because of Mitchel.
Worse still, other companies refused to hire him.
However, Henley refused to compromise. Since he was still chasing the girl he loved, he came up with this plan.
Raegan couldn't help but feel that this misfortune had happened to Henley because of her.
He felt sorry for Henley. As he was about to voice his thoughts, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Mitchel enter the cafeteria from the corner of his eye.
