Chapter 18
Evil Plan Lauren's face turned pale, but she masked her displeasure as usual.
Mitchel must be worried about her health.
Lauren smiled and said softly, "Mitchel, you really don't have to worry about me.
I am fine.” Mitchel looked a little cold.
When he saw Lauren's pitiful look, he turned his face away without saying anything.
He was still hovering around Raegan.
With a distant smile, Raegan said, “Your sweetheart is waiting for you.
Go be with her." Raegan had had enough.
These two were free to do all their lovey-dovey stuff here.
As for her, she wanted to leave right away.
Raegan was so tired that she feared she might faint at any moment.
Seeing Raegan’s red eyes, Mitchel felt a pang of pain in his heart.
"L.." Mitchel began, but then stopped on second thought "It doesn't matter!" Suddenly, Lauren opened her mouth and said softly, “Mitchel, I know what you mean, but you really do not have to force Raegan to apologize to me.
I'm willing to let this slide.
Just let her go." Raegan was stunned.
These words brought Raegan back to her senses.
Her heart sank to her stomach.
She looked at the man in front of her as if he were a stranger.
So, Mitchel was refusing to let her go because she hadn't apologized to Lauren? Damn it! Raegan smiled bitterly.
It turned out that this was the so-called favor.
He was so unreasonable that he turned a blind eye to the truth.
Mitchel was so unfair.
Her side of the story didn't matter to him.
She was always wrong in his eyes.
At the thought of this, Raegan's smile turned cold.
Raegan looked at Mitchel and asked, "You want me to apologize?" Mitchel hadn't expected Lauren to say that.
It was the wrong assumption, so when he saw how Raegan looked at him, his heart ached even more.
He was about to say something when Raegan shook off his hand.
She walked to Lauren and lowered her head.
Raegan said, "I'm sorry, Lauren." A strange weight fell on Raegan as soon as she lowered her head.
She could almost hear the sound of her bones cracking.
She knew that the self-confidence that she struggled to build had just collapsed within her.
Anyway, it didn't matter.
This could be a blessing in disguise.
She had to be completely shattered before she could be reborn.
With that thought in mind, she approached Lauren and bent over.
She then said with a menacing smile, "I promise you, Lauren.
You'll suffer what I suffered.” Lauren's face changed.
If Mitchel wasn't here, Lauren would have jumped out of the wheelchair and pounced on Raegan now.
Raegan straightened up and looked at Mitchel.
"Satisfied? Can I leave now?” Mitchel’s handsome face darkened.
Raegan couldn’t understand why he was still unhappy after she already apologized.
But she couldn't care less now.
They were going to be strangers, starting tomorrow.
Raegan took off the ring on her finger and threw it at Mitchel with a straight face.
"Let's meet at the court tomorrow, Mr.
Dixon." There was a dead silence.
The only sound that was heard came from the ring when it hit the floor.
Mitchel’s face darkened even further.
He stared at the ring with the expression of someone who was about to go on a killing spree.
"Raegan! Have you really made up your mind?” His voice was colder than the devil's.
However, the faint sadness in his eyes was still noticeable.
Raegan was surprised to see it, but she soon felt she was imagining things.
How could Mitchel be sad by her decision? He always wanted to be with Lauren, so he should be happy now.
"Yes, I have.” After giving that straightforward answer, Raegan turned around and left without a backward glance.
The air seemed to drop to zero now.
Lauren began to shiver.
She held her breath for fear of annoying Mitchel further.
It took Matteo a while to recover from the shock.
When he did, he picked up the ring and handed it to Mitchel.
He knew that this ring meant a lot to Mitchel.
For the longest time, Mitchel hung it on a necklace that he always wore.
"Throw it away.
It’s useless now." Mitchel pulled on a calm expression as he spoke word by word.
Although he didn't look as frightening as before, his aura was still cold.
He was like an ice king whose stare alone could freeze anyone on the spot.
Matteo couldn't bring himself to throw away something so precious.
He made up his mind to keep it safe instead.
"Mitchel..." Lauren moved over to Mitchel in her wheelchair.
Holding his hand, she said in a low voice, "That is your grandma's ring, right? And Raegan just threw it to the floor just like that.
She doesn't cherish it at all." Lauren had wanted that ring for a long time, but Mitchel refused to give it to her.
She never expected him to give it to Raegan.
Lauren squeezed Mitchel’s hand subconsciously. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
A vicious light sparked in her eyes.
Still unwilling to make any intimate contact with Lauren, Mitchel withdrew his hand with a frown.
Lauren's expression froze for a second.
All of a sudden, something occurred to Mitchel.
He shot Lauren a cold look, making her shiver in fear.
"Did you tell Raegan that I bought you a ring?” he asked, his voice chilly.
Lauren's face turned pale.
Suppressing the panic in her heart, she bit her lower lip and said, "How could I? | bought the diamond ring for my aunt due to her upcoming birthday.
Is there a problem?" Mitchel’s eyes slanted as he looked at her.
"You know I hate people who play tricks in my presence the most.
I told you to choose whatever you like, but some things are off the shelf now.” It was as if he emptied a basin of cold water on Lauren now.
Lauren panicked.
Did he find out what she did? But even if she provoked Raegan with words, so what? Mitchel was always so doting.
He never frowned at her before.
But in recent times, he became suspicious of her and even questioned her.
It was all Raegan's fault! That bitch deserved to die! Lauren was on the brink of losing her temper, but when she remembered Jocelyn's advice, she took in a deep breath.
With tearful eyes, she opened WhatsApp and held out her phone to him.
She uttered, “Are you suspecting me? If you don't believe me, check it yourself!” It was a chat history of her asking her aunt's opinion about the ring a few days ago.
Mitchel’s face softened a little.
He sighed.
"Fine!” "Mitchel, it’s still me, Lauren.
How could you think of me like that? Your divorce is getting finalized tomorrow.
Why would I feel the need to do such a thing?" Lauren said and began to cry sadly.
"Stop crying, will you? Remember that the doctor said emotional stress is bad for your health?” Mitchel cautioned her.
"But I can't help it! You are hurting me, Mitchel.
You and I go way back, yet you still don't trust me.
What's the point of me getting better? I'd rather die...” Lauren cried so hard that her body shook violently and she could barely breathe properly.
"Come on, stop talking about death! I'll make sure you get better." Mitchel squeezed her shoulder comfortingly.
"Mitchel, can we get married tomorrow?" Lauren looked up with her teary eyes filled with expectation.
Yet, Mitchel’s eyes darkened.
He didn't respond to her proposal.
Shamelessly, Lauren acted pitiful again.
"Well, | never expected to marry you in this life.
It’s fine though.
1 can die a happy woman now." "This again? I thought I just told you to stop talking about death!" Exasperated, Mitchel handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
He then said, "Let's get you to the hospital." He asked Matteo to look after Lauren.
Then, he went to the parking lot to drive out the car.
For some reason, Mitchel didn't want to be left alone with Lauren.
Her crying didn't even make him sad or sympathetic.
He just found it very annoying.
Lauren's crying ceased and she collapsed back in the wheelchair after Mitchel left.
Jocelyn was right.
Mitchel wasn't a man to be fooled easily.
Fortunately, she had prepared a fake chat.
Thinking of all that happened after her return, Lauren began to panic again.
It appeared Mitchel changed once the divorce was brought up.
He became irritable, uneasy, and impatient with her.
Did he not want to divorce Raegan? Had he fallen in love with her? Lauren's face turned as white as a ghost.
She kicked the sofa next to her.
A shopping bag fell and got stuck near the wheelchair.
Her eyes zeroed in on it.
This shopping bag was the same one Raegan had clutched tightly just now.
She must have forgotten it.
Wait a minute! The brand name was familiar! Lauren tilted her head.
Soon, she remembered the brand was for a maternal and infant store! Matteo, who was on the phone, had his back to Lauren.
She quietly picked up the shopping bag and looked inside.
Her face fell instantly.
After a moment of shock, she dumped the bag in the trash can hurriedly.
Baby clothes! Was Raegan pregnant? How...
How did that happen? Where...
When...
Lauren's mind was in a muddle.
She held her head and tried to think straight.
Judging by Mitchell's words a while back, he wasn't aware of Raegan’s pregnancy.
Getting rid of Raegan's baby should be easy.
A menacing expression appeared on Lauren's face.
Her eyes glistened with evil.
Lauren knew Raegan was standing in the way of her rekindling passion with Mitchel from the first day.
Anyway, she would deal with Raegan slowly once their divorce was finalized!
