Chapter 477
Chapter 477
Mitchel took Raegan to a club, leaving Raegan slightly puzzled.
He positioned her in front of a glass panel and handed her headphones, telling her, "Check this out." Once inside, Mitchel hit the remote control, and suddenly, a porn began to play on the screen in 4D.
The flirtatious scenes and suggestive sounds seemed to happen right before Raegan's eyes. She was so shocked she covered her mouth.
However, Mitchel watched intently, his expression unchanged.
Raegan started to grasp what he was trying to show her.
The porn ran for forty-five minutes, filled with those awkwardly intimate noises enveloping her the entire time. Eventually, Raegan couldn't take it anymore and removed the headphones.
After it was over, Mitchel switched off the screen, drew her close, and asked, "Did you catch that?"
Raegan's cheeks turned bright red. The situation was completely ridiculous.
Mitchel then showed her a report on his phone from a well-known hospital. "After you left, I lost interest in women for five whole years. My mother got so concerned that she took me to the hospital for a check-up, and they gave us this report.
The medical report suggested Mitchel had lost his sexual drive due to psychological trauma.
Luciana was shocked beyond words when she got hold of this report.
This was the very reason Mitchel was adamant that he couldn't be the father of Katie's child. He was all too familiar with his own body.
For years, not a single woman beyond Raegan had caught Mitchel's interest. Yet, the moment he laid eyes on Raegan after she came back, he felt an undeniable attraction and got arousal as they got intimate.
Mitchel gazed deeply into Raegan's eyes, his voice rough. "Aside from you, no one can arouse me."
"Please, stop..." Raegan couldn't bear to hear more.
Mitchel hugged her, asking, "Do you believe me now?
He was at a loss for other ways to clear his name. Discussing such private matters wasn't something he'd do under normal circumstances, but to prove he was innocent, he was willing to swallow his pride. Without Raegan, he felt he'd never find sexual happiness in his life again.
"It's not that I don't believe you." Raegan turned away, her voice breaking. "We promised to be open with each other, but you..."
Raegan had her complaints. Had Mitchel just been upfront with her earlier, she wouldn't have jumped to conclusions, nor would she have been as devastated seeing Luciana and Katie stand together against her.
Seeing her eyes fill with tears, Mitchel felt his heart rip apart. He embraced her, his voice rough. "This is on me. I thought I could handle it, but I ended up making everything worse."
These days, as Katie pointed out, Mitchel was facing challenges left and right. Without someone he cherished, he might have actually considered Katie's offer, marrying Katie to avert the crisis as a quick fix, just like his parents had done.
But Raegan and Janey were Mitchel's world, the two people he couldn't disappoint or abandon. He kept quiet about Katie using the child in her belly to blackmail him, not wanting to burden Raegan. He had misjudged Katie's impulsiveness, leading Raegan to suffer unnecessarily.
Mitchel's strained voice made Raegan's heart tighten. She realized he had been through just as much as she had. *Raegan, I'll make sure to settle the matter regarding Katie's pregnancy for you!" Mitchel vowed.
Katie's confidence won over even his mother. Mitchel was determined to get to the bottom about the kid in her belly! Mitchel held Raegan close, his chin on her hair, whispering. "You can be mad at me, but please don't leave me..."
The moment Raegan refused to see him, Mitchel truly panicked. It felt as if he was losing something dear to him. His worry was so intense that he felt helpless.
Feeling his heartbeat, Raegan's heart had long been softened. They had worked through so many misunderstandings to get to this point. Their love, not easily won, deserved to be treasured by both. In a gentle voice, she said, "I haven't given up on us."
If she had really wanted to give him up, she wouldn't have come down to convince him to come back. She was always decisive. Her coming down showed that, deep down, she just couldn't bear to let him suffer.
Hearing her words, Mitchel's happiness knew no bounds, and he hugged her even tighter. He promised, "From now on, I'll share everything with you, no matter how small it might seem."
Raegan, with a soft voice, replied, "I know there's been a lot of happening with your company. I wish I knew how to help..."
Mitchel's heart swelled with love at her concern. He bent down and gently kissed her cheek, saying, "Staying by my side is what I need from you." This allowed him to fully concentrate on those who had hidden agendas.
Raegan felt Mitchel was quite easy to please, and her heart felt immediately warmer. After a moment, she added, "About telling Janey you're her biological father, I'd like us to keep it between ourselves for a bit."
With all the current complications, Raegan wanted to protect Janey from any harm.
Mitchel understood her concerns and responded, "Alright, let's hold off until we've sorted everything out."
Then, Raegan brought up another concern. "Mitchel, have you noticed your mother seems a bit off lately?" Mitchel knitted his brows, admitting, "Yeah, she's been unusually clingy to Katie these past few years. I've tried discussing it with her, but she doesn't want to hear it."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Recalling her few encounters with Luciana, Raegan remembered Luciana's unhealthy appearance, the type that hinted at mental fatigue. To be frank, Luciana looked as though her soul had left her, utterly devoid of life. Considering Luciane was only in her fifties this year, Raegan wondered why Luciana appeared so much older than her peers. She then inquired, "Has Luciana been dealing with any health problems?"
Mitchel shook his head. "All her tests came back normal."
"Take a look at this," Raegan said. She took a square-shaped medicine box out of her bag and handed it to Mitchel. "I found this in the mall today, and I'm not sure if it's Luciana's."
