Chapter 34
I Don't Want A Divorce Of course, Raegan didn't take Luis’ words seriously.
And she was not in the mood to talk about it, so she didn't answer.
She only smiled faintly.
Luis noticed Raegan’s silence, so he warned, “If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence.” After saying this, Luis smiled like a cunning fox.
He felt Mitchel's piercing gaze, but he totally ignored it.
Luis’ mood lightened up a lot after deliberately provoking Mitchel.
But he wasn't done with the removal of the stitches yet.
Suddenly, he said gently, "Raegan, don’t move.” Raegan's body stiffened obediently.
It was as if she was afraid of making even the slightest move.
But the layers of sweat on her forehead were getting thicker, and her hands were shaking violently.
The truth was, she really couldn't face the removal of the stitches on her right hand by herself.
Mitchel also knew this very well.
Raegan's reactions offer another opportunity for Luis to tease Mitchel.
Luis turned to Mitchel whose face was written by concerns while standing next to Raegan, and said, "Come on, bro! Give her a hand.” But to his surprise, Raegan immediately refused.
"No, it's okay.
I can do it myself." Even Mitchel didn't expect that Raegan would directly refuse his help.
The corners of his mouth twitched.
He stood beside Raegan, thrust his two hands in his pockets, and looked at Luis.
Luis couldn't help shrugging his shoulders.
He winked at Mitchel, indicating that he had tried his best.
Raegan didn’t say anything more.
She just waited for what would happen next.
When she saw Luis start picking up the tools, she pursed her lips tightly, and her eyelids couldn't help trembling involuntarily.
Mitchel had been observing Raegan.
Although she refused his help, he still couldn't help saying, "Just close your eyes if you don't want to see it." Mitchel wanted to comfort her when he saw the expression on her face.
The next second, he pulled a chair to sit next to her and pressed her head against his chest peremptorily.
Raegan was dumbfounded.
Her body stiffened.
She wanted to push Mitchel away, but she was really afraid of needles.
When still struggling in her mind, she felt a faint sting on the back of her hand.
Raegan was so scared that she subconsciously reached out her left hand and hugged Mitchel’s waist tightly.
Her body trembled nervously.
"Didn't you say you don't need my help?” Raegan heard a gentle sneer above her head.
Feeling a flush of embarrassment, Raegan didn't dare to raise her head.
She tried to withdraw her hand at once.
However, Mitchel held onto Raegan's hand tightly.
Then he said in a magnetic and deep voice, "Hold still.” There was no doubt that the mind of anyone who saw their intimate posture would get the wrong idea.
Who wouldn't think that they were a sweet and loving couple? Since she couldn't break free, Raegan just buried her face in Mitchel's arms.
And for some reason, she felt relieved while quietly listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.
The thumping of his heart was like a lullaby that soothed her nerves.
Raegan had been listening to Mitchel’s heartbeat for two years.
And until now, it still made her feel at ease.
She couldn't help breathing in the familiar fragrance from Mitchel's body greedily.
Raegan closed her eyes to savor this moment.
She just wanted to forget everything that happened these days.
After all, this could be her last opportunity to hug Mitchel.
Once they got their divorce certificates, they might not cross paths again.
So, right now, she wanted to hug him more tightly.
Soon, Luis' voice sounded.
"Done!" Raegan came back to her senses and quickly broke free from Mitchel’s arms.
Her face was still as red as a freshly picked cherry, making her look more charming.
When Luis saw this scene, he said jokingly, "Are you sure you two came here for the removal of the stitches?” Raegan was stunned for a moment.
And before she could react, Luis continued, "Let me guess.
The two of you are here to show off your love to me, right?" As he spoke, he looked a little aggrieved.
He was a little jealous when he saw how Mitchel hugged Raegan tightly while he was removing the stitches from Raegan's wound.
It seemed Luis didn't intend to give Raegan a chance to explain.
Before she could say anything, he added, "Okay.
Go with the nurse to disinfect your wound.” At this moment, only Mitchel and Luis were left in the room.
Mitchel was about to explode in anger while Luis was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear.
"Don’t ever think about messing with her,” Mitchel warned coldly.
Luis almost burst into laughter.
"Bro, are you serious? Oh, come on! By the way, I heard that you beat Raegan's senior in college a few days ago." Upon hearing this, Mitchel's frown deepened even more.
He glared at Luis and warned coldly, “If you don't want your tongue anymore, I'd love to cut it off for you.” "Whoa! Relax, bro.
Why are you so pissed off?" Luis chuckled and pretended to be scared.
But he added, "But walt.
You only gave him one punch? That's so not you!” Luis knew Mitchel well.
Although Mitchel always looked cold and abstinent, he had plenty of ways to punish anyone who offended him.
Mitchel's eyes darkened at once.
He sneered, "I don't want to waste my time and energy on him.” But he didn't mention anything about Raegan‘s words back then.
He must admit that her words were like a knife that pierced his heart.
Subconsciously, Mitchel didn't want to admit that it was Raegan's words which forced him to change his mind.
Luis raised his eyebrows.
"Why do I sense jealousy here?” After he said this, he saw that Mitchel's eyes turned cold.
But he ignored it and continued, "I think you are now reluctant to divorce her.” "That's not true,” Mitchel retorted decisively.
Of course, he wouldn’t admit it.
But he hated the feeling that he lost control of his emotions.
What happened on that day was like a bombard in his heart.
No matter how much he forced himself, he just couldn't let it pass.
Luis stared at Mitchel for a while, thinking Mitchel was too stubborn to admit that he had already fallen for Raegan.
Luis couldn't help reminding Mitchel, "Guess what? Mitchel, it's a good thing to be jealous because it means that you care about her." At this moment, Raegan came back.
Upon seeing her, Luis took out a tube of ointment and handed it to her.
Then he said affectionately on purpose, "Raegan, this ointment is one of my personal collections.
This treasure will help you remove the scar.
Use this until your hand returns to its usual beauty.” Raegan took the ointment and said obediently, "Okay, I will use this.
Thank you, Mr.
Stevens.
You are so kind." "You don't have to be so polite.
Just call me Luis. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I think it sounds better than Mr.
Stevens, right?" Luis said teasingly.
His peach blossom eyes were smiling.
"All right, Luis..." Before Raegan could say anything more, Mitchel suddenly held her hand and dragged her out of the room without looking back.
Raegan only heard Luis' amused voice behind her, "Raegan, don't forget our conversation!" Raegan was rendered speechless.
Mitchel walked very fast.
It was as if a demon was chasing after him.
Raegan could barely catch up with him, especially since her feet had just recovered.
When they arrived at the entrance, Mitchel suddenly stopped.
He turned to Raegan and said, "Ignore him.” Raegan nodded without saying anything.
Then Mitchel added, "He's kidding.” This time, Raegan replied, "] know." Raegan was not stupid.
She knew Luis was just Joking.
She didn't take it seriously.
She knew that people in the upper class wouldn't be interested in a woman like her.
They would only look down upon her.
Satisfied with Raegan’s reaction, Mitchel said in a low voice, "Where do you plan to go? I'll give you a ride.” Raegan shook her head.
"No, thanks.
I'll just take a taxi.” But Mitchel ignored her decline.
He just opened the door and asked Raegan to get in the car.
"No, I'll take you there.
My task today is to send you to your destination.” Raegan looked at him with suspicion.
Why did Mitchel suddenly offer to give her a ride? Was it because he had to obey Luciana’s orders? If he was that obedient to Luciana, why did he still want to divorce her? "Well, if you insist.
Please send me to your grandpa's house." As soon as Raegan said this, a strange silence spread between them.
Raegan was not surprised when Mitchel fell silent.
After all, they both knew what it meant to go there.
Raegan took advantage of the silence and proposed, "Are you available now? You can accompany me there, so you can talk with Luciana.
If things go well, we can get divorced in the afternoon.” Mitchel's eyes turned cold.
Raegan couldn't read the emotions on his face.
She didn’t know whether he was happy or not.
But she heard him say, "Okay." Since Mitchel agreed, Raegan got in the car obediently.
Mitchel got in the driver's seat.
He rolled the sleeves of his shirt casually and rested his slender and beautiful hands on the steering wheel, ready to drive.
The car window was rolled down.
So when the wind blew, the hair on his temples swayed.
It made his profile particularly pleasant in Raegan's eyes.
Mitchel must have felt Raegan's gaze because he turned his head to the passenger seat and asked, “Why are you staring at me like that?” The bright sunlight reflected on the car window and shone on his beautiful eyes, making them glimmer.
Suddenly, Raegan realized that thousands of stars were nothing compared to his shining, beautiful eyes.
It was just a pity that his eyes didn't shine for her.
Raegan quickly looked away and said softly, "Nothing." Mitchel didn’t ask any more questions.
He Just smiled coldly and focused his eyes on the road.
Mitchel had been driving for a while when Lauren called him again.
This time, he didn't hang it up.
He immediately pressed the answer button and put it on speakerphone.
Lauren's sweet voice came from the other end of the line, "Why didn't you answer my phone, Mitchel?” "I'm driving,” Mitchel replied casually.
Lauren breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me.
I thought you blacklisted me.
You made me sad.
I couldn't stop crying for a long time.” 1 Lauren acted like a spoiled child on the phone.
One could imagine how she would behave in real life.
It must really be dramatic.
But just hearing her voice over the phone gave Raegan goosebumps.
To be honest, Raegan found Lauren's acting unbearable, but Mitchel seemed to be willing to indulge it.
He even put the phone on speakerphone for her to hear.
What did he want? Did he want to show how he doted on Lauren? If only Raegan knew that Mitchel couldn't stand hearing Lauren's words either.
He had been itching to press the "end call" button.
But he suppressed the urge to do so because he wanted to see how Raegan would react.
According to Luis, jealousy was good because it meant one cared about the other.
If Raegan cared about him, why wasn't she jealous of Lauren? On the other end of the line, Lauren had no idea that she was on speakerphone.
She continued to act coquettishly, and her words became even bolder.
Raegan couldn't bear listening to Lauren anymore.
She was afraid that Lauren would say something more explicit, so she coughed slightly.
