Chapter 419

Pretending not to recognize Raegan, Matteo gently implored, “Please don't make things difficult. "I can't let you go."

Raegan almost rolled her eyes at his ridiculousness. Hadn't Katie already brought Mitchel soup? Trapped, she fluttered her eyelashes and asked, "Do you have everything we need for soup?"

Matteo assured him: "We have everything in the kitchen."

Raegan gave a knowing smile. She was going to cook “as God intended” a nutritious soup for Mitchel.

Inside Mitchel's room.

Katie, ever adaptable, quickly shook off any disappointment, picked up the thermos and announced, “Mitchel, here's soup. Try it.

"I don't want her."

Katie's frustration grew as she noticed Mitchel's lack of interest, feeling a wave of bitterness wash over her. He seemed to prefer the nurse's kitchen to his own.

Leaning against the headboard, Mitchel looked at Katie and asked, "How's your dad doing these days?"

Katie, thinking that Mitchel was showing concern for her family, perked up. «Dad is doing well. He mentions you often, saying he didn't see you at dinner with your mother last time. "He has missed you."

Mitchel, however, didn't seem to catch his hopeful tone and replied nonchalantly, "If it goes well, then we should clear up any misunderstandings soon with a public statement."

Katie's face lost its color. He had forgotten this matter.

He didn't expect Mitchel to remember his words, which were nothing more than excuses, thinking that he would eventually forget about the public statement.

Mitchel added: "I will tell Matteo to prepare the statement and send it to you for you to review. It will not damage the reputation of either of us.

At first, Mitchel did not care about the content of the public statement, as he did not care about his own reputation. But now it seemed unfair to admit to something he hadn't done, and he didn't want Raegan to get the wrong idea. She wanted Raegan to understand that she had been faithful, without any relationships with other women for the past five years.

Katie's eyes turned red instantly. He was quick to say, “Mitchel, your position is not yet secure. My uncle's shareholders are watching you closely. Have you thought about how cutting ties with me now might affect you?

And he added seriously: “I can bear it. It's been so long and I'm willing to continue like this..."

"That's not going to happen," Mitchel interrupted her firmly. «We cannot postpone the clarification any longer. Matteo will work with you on it. When I feel better, I will clarify things with your family.

His voice was firm, brooking no argument.

Katie was stunned, tears beginning to fill her eyes. At that moment, her emotions overwhelmed her and she could no longer contain herself, admitting: "I... I don't want this."

Mitchel looked at her harshly, his tone icy. "Katie, we're not going to argue about this."

Seeing the pain in her eyes, he couldn't hide his irritation, stating bluntly, "Once we release the statement, I hope there will be no more rumors about us, understand?"

Katie collapsed, crying harder, unable to contain her feelings.

"Mitchel..."

He moved closer, almost kneeling next to her bed, gripping the sheets tightly. «How can you do this to me? Don't you remember how my family supported you when you needed it?

Katie was crying bitterly, tears pouring out. "Mitchel, are you really going to forget everything we've been through once you get what you need?"

Katie tried to use public opinion to pressure him. After all, news like that would immediately put Mitchel under the microscope. "The reserve wharf initiative, the development in the western suburbs, the Arctic Bay park, the Cloud Village project..."

Mitchel's tone was icy. “Do I need to remind you how much your Glyn family benefited from those projects?”

He didn't care that Katie turned white and continued: "At first, I didn't get into that stuff. The rumors about the Dixon and Glyn families uniting through marriage was something that your father, you and my mother discussed, wasn't it? From the beginning, it was a partnership that worked well for both parties. And now you talk about me being ungrateful. Do I have to ask Matteo to prepare a presentation to show you how Berton's Glyn family has remained in Ardlens?

With each word, he coldly laid out the advantages that the Glyn family had gained over the years. Every project Katie had mentioned was worth a fortune. The idea that he was ungrateful was absurd. It was obvious that the Glyn family had been milking money.

Katie's thoughts were interrupted, plunging her into deep despair. She grabbed Mitchel's hand, tears streaming down her face. «Is it because Raegan is back? What's so special about her? She has married, been a mother and been with other men. Do you really want a woman like her?

"Be quiet!" Mitchel pulled his hand away forcefully.

Katie stumbled and fell to the ground. The fall hurt him. Her eyes widened in disbelief, unable to understand how Mitchel could show such indifference.

Over the years, their relationship, although not warm, had made him believe that she held a special place in his life, especially because she had supported him during his most difficult times. He couldn't conceive of their bond ending in such a cold manner.

"Keep in mind, then and now, Raegan is and always will be my wife. "Think twice before mentioning her again."

Mitchel's words came as a stark warning, his anger unmistakable.

Deep down, Mitchel believed that he was the only one who could affect Raegan's emotions. The thought of anyone else causing Raegan distress, whether through actions or words, was unacceptable to her.

Katie's fall brought her back to reality. Concealing her feelings, she wiped away her tears and managed to steady her voice. «I'm sorry, Mitchel. "I shouldn't have lost control like that," he apologized.

Mitchel, with a cold and distant expression, didn't even bother to look at Katie, sensing her intentions.

Katie felt her heart break, trying desperately to maintain her composure. I wish I hadn't come if I'd known that would be the result.

However, upon realizing Mitchel's stance, Katie realized that avoiding today's confrontation would not free her from future ones. It was better to face things head on.
