Chapter 365

? ? ? ? ?

The impact of those words was like the detonation of a bomb. Mitchel felt as if his heart had been torn apart by her statement. His once handsome face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Seizing the moment, Raegan withdrew her hand and continued, "Mr. Dixon, please don't interfere with my life anymore."

"I don't want Stefan to get jealous."

Hearing her words, Mitchel was speechless, feeling as if Raegan's words had fragmented her very being.

"How is it possible?" Mitchel suddenly exclaimed, "You promised me you wouldn't get married for the next six months!"

"Yes, Stefan and I are in a relationship with the intention of getting married, but we are not married yet," she clarified.

Raegan added calmly, “Calm down. "I intend to keep my promise and get married within six months."

Hearing Raegan's words, Mitchel's anger reached new heights.

“Raegan, you should think carefully before you speak. I agreed to our divorce because you wanted justice, not because I'm giving up on you.

Do you think you can marry another man as you please and that I will sit idly by? Mitchel's handsome face contorted with rage as he spat the words through clenched teeth.

Stefan, protective of Raegan, pulled her back and spoke decisively. 'Mr Dixon, as far as I know, Ardlens is governed by the law. If you want to control everything, you should be aware of who you're up against. Raegan is now the daughter of the Foster family. She is no longer the vulnerable girl who endured abuse and captivity under your authority. If you ever dare to mistreat her again, both the Foster family and the Clifford family will not let you off lightly.”

Mitchel's expression darkened considerably at the mention of the Clifford family. The Clifford Family of the North! It was practically an autonomous nation.

In that land, the royal family was a mere figurehead, and true power was held by two dominant clans. One of the clans was the influential Maxwell family, and the other was the renowned Clifford family. The Clifford family, in particular, wielded immense wealth and influence within the country, giving them unparalleled power.

Mitchel couldn't believe that someone as seemingly mild-mannered as Stefan actually belonged to the formidable Clifford family.

Mitchel scoffed: “I have heard that, despite their immense power, the Clifford family places great importance on ethical principles. I'm curious why you would resort to such actions to pursue someone else's wife.

Stefan's demeanor seemed distant, a slight smile forming on the edge of his lips. "Mr. Dixon, people can indulge their fantasies, but it is not wise to constantly live in illusions. Since Raegan doesn't have a partner, I'm free to pursue her.

What gives you the right to claim that I have stolen your wife? It seems to simply be your own unfounded presumption, not hers.

Mitchel's face turned bright red, his fury palpable in the air. He grabbed Stefan by the collar and shouted, "I don't care how arrogant you are elsewhere, but you're on my territory now and you won't be able to take Raegan from me!"

Mitchel's fury clouded his mind, and he had the sudden urge to tear Stefan to pieces with his bare hands.

The oppressive aura surrounding Mitchel made Raegan uncomfortable, and she quickly tugged on Mitchel's arm, fearing he would do something drastic.

«Mitchel, wake up! If you dare to hurt him, I will never forgive you."

Raegan's protective instinct struck Mitchel's heart like a poisoned knife. The pain was almost unbearable, but it also had the double effect of intensifying his anger.

A reckless, unhinged laugh erupted from Mitchel's mouth. «If you think you can get rid of me so easily, you're in for something else!

Whether in this life or the next, you will always be mine!

The indignant light in Mitchel's eyes convinced Raegan that he had completely lost his mind.

However, what happened next left Raegan even more stunned.

Mitchel opened his robe, showing his well-muscled and seductive chest and abdomen. He pointed to the hickeys on his skin, a mischievous smile on his features. «Is this what you meant when you didn't want to get involved with me? I also have recordings. Do you want to hear them?

Raegan's ears warmed and soon her heart sank as well. She couldn't believe she had slept with him.

As she stared at Mitchel's handsome features, a wave of fury washed over Raegan.

«Whack! A hum echoed through the room as Raegan's palm hit Mitchel's cheek.

The slap did nothing to calm Raegan's anger. Furious, she growled at him. "What a shame! You knew very well what was happening to me.

And yet you took advantage of me. Disgusting asshole.

Mitchel was momentarily stunned. He registered the slap to his face, but the deep pain in his chest was something he couldn't bear.

Mitchel hid the pain in his heart and looked at Raegan listlessly, his mouth slightly twitching. "Scold me whatever you want if it can make you come back to me."

Raegan was speechless. He cursed: "You're crazy!"

«You may consider me a lunatic, but I am a lunatic who loves you.

As long as you come back to me, I will do whatever you want. I will promise you everything. Tell me, what do you really want? Do you want my life, Raegan? Take it then…” Mitchel was on the verge of stammering, his words confusing and unclear. His emotions were so overwhelming that he just needed to speak, no matter what came out.

Everything that Mitchel had kept in his chest, he let out now without restrictions. He didn't care about his dignity, which was already in tatters. The only thing he regretted was not having told her before everything he had inside.

Mitchel also regretted that he realized his true feelings only after losing her. He loved her more than his own life. The thought of her marrying someone else and spending the rest of her life with another man was unbearable. Just thinking about it was enough to wither his heart until it was nothing but dust.

Mitchel's unexpected confession surprised Raegan. He remained silent, unable to find the words to respond. She wasn't very familiar with him after losing his memory, but his words broke her heart for a reason she couldn't discern.

Raegan didn't dare say a word, afraid that the dam holding back her tears would burst if she opened her mouth. He had no idea why this was happening to him. Was it possible that, deep down, he still cared about Mitchel?
