Chapter 344

? ? ? ? ?

"Don't worry at all." Stefan, surprisingly, seemed unfazed by the change in plans. He wore a relaxed expression as he responded.

Raegan gave a reassuring smile. «In any case, tonight I'll invite you to dinner. "Feel free to order whatever you want."

"Deal."

The two proceeded to have a nice meal together.

Out of nowhere, a waiter elegantly placed a bottle of high-end wine on their table.

Raegan was well aware that the exquisite aged alcohol must have a high price.

Raegan looked at the waiter in bewilderment and didn't know what to make of the extravagant wine. However, the waiter quickly clarified: "It's a gift from the gentleman upstairs."

In response, Raegan instinctively raised her eyes and met Mitchel's intense gaze from above.

Raegan was surprised to see that Mitchel was also dining at the restaurant. She couldn't help but wonder about his intentions in sending him a bottle of good old wine. Was he trying to cause trouble?

Stefan noticed Mitchel, whose piercing gaze was directed at his table. Worried about Raegan, he called out quietly, “Raegan?”

Shocked, Raegan snapped back to reality and looked at Stefan. "What's happening?

"Is everything okay?" Stefan asked worriedly.

Raegan shook her head and assured him, “Everything is fine. Don't worry, let's enjoy the food.

Stefan wasn't one to push for answers if Raegan didn't want to talk about it any further.

The waiter stood nearby and asked, "Miss, would you like me to open your wine?"

Raegan took a sip from her glass and replied nonchalantly, “No, thank you.

Throw it away.

The waiter misunderstood Raegan's request, thinking she wanted him to serve her wine in a glass. So he started to open the bottle.

Raegan looked up and reiterated, “I mean throw it away.”

Seeing that the waiter still didn't understand, he clarified: "Throw the bottle in the trash can."

Surprised, the waiter stammered: "Throw it... throw it in the trash can?"

"You heard me."

Raegan meant it. Wasn't Mitchel looking at her? If so, she would make some scenes for him to watch.

The waiter, however, had a hard time deciding to throw away a valuable bottle of fine vintage wine, given its value. How could someone just throw it into the trash can?

"I'll do it." Raegan decided to take matters into her own hands. He picked up the bottle and threw it in the trash can.

From his vantage point upstairs, Mitchel watched the entire scene, his expression growing colder. Raegan had told him she was busy with work, but here she was, dating another man. Not only that, but he also threw the wine at him like that. He even wiped his hands with a disgusted expression. Shit!

«It seems like Raegan is doing this on purpose. Poor thing! Luis commented with a smile. «The guy over there seems handsome. "It seems like Raegan could have a fantastic life without you."

Mitchel's handsome face darkened even more and he replied, "Why don't you shut up or I'll kick you out myself?"

Luis did not seem fazed by Mitchel's threat. He was used to Mitchel's temper and even felt sorry for him. Despite his good looks, Mitchel had never been good at chasing girls, which is why he always pissed off Raegan when he tried to win her back.

At that moment, Luis cleared his throat, looked at Raegan's table and gave him some advice: "You know, Mitchel, you have to learn how to get your girl. Show Raegan how much you care.

Don't always be so dominant. "That way, people will only be scared of you."

Luis seemed to have forgotten that he was single. Not wanting to hear any of Luis's bullshit, Mitchel stood up abruptly and headed downstairs.

«Hey, brother, where are you going? If you don't follow my advice, you'll regret it," Luis shouted, but Mitchel continued down the stairs with a grim expression.

Meanwhile, Raegan and Stefan had almost finished eating. Stefan was carefully peeling a crab for Raegan.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Raegan spoke. «Stefan, today everything is my fault. "I said I would introduce you to a girl, but she couldn't come."

After the call, Elin sent a message to Raegan, saying that she didn't want to be in any relationship at the moment.

This puzzled Raegan, since Elin had not objected when they had discussed the topic earlier. Why had Elin suddenly changed her mind?

Raegan decided to have a heart-to-heart with Elin upon her return.

Stefan kindly began, “Raegan, I don't actually want a girlfriend.”

Hearing this, Raegan looked at him in bewilderment. He couldn't understand why both Elin and Stefan rejected the idea of ​​having a relationship.

With a slight smile on his face, Stefan continued: "I'm looking for someone who is ready to take that step down the aisle with me."

“Are you saying you want to start a family?” Raegan asked.

"Well, I'm getting older, you know."

«Don't be absurd. You're not that old. I would say you are quite young and handsome.

"Really? Do you think so? Stefan smiled.

"Absolutely. "I swear I'm telling the truth." Seeing that Stefan didn't seem to believe her words, Raegan said seriously, "You look like a college kid."

Raegan decided to be honest since she considered Stefan to be an older brother figure. He often used this type of praise with Erick, so he thought it might work similarly with Stefan.

“Well, what kind of man do you like then?” Stefan asked nonchalantly.

“My type?” Raegan considered the question.

"If you were looking for a stepfather for Janey, what kind of person would you prefer?" Stefan urged.
