Chapter 425

? ? ? ? ?

If Mitchel had known about Katie's thoughts sooner, he would have started addressing her problems much sooner. Maybe he hadn't seen through Katie's disguise because he barely had any contact with women.

After all, Katie had been perpetuating this charade for the last decade, and not once had she crossed the line with him. When Katie learned that his interest was solely in Raegan, she seemed to have kept her distance from him and behaved professionally at all times.

Just then, Raegan's soft voice broke into Mitchel's thoughts. "My brother showed me a lot of coverage of you two being together."

Mitchel couldn't help but laugh bitterly. So that was the reason.

Rumors that he didn't bother to clarify had been unearthed.

«They were all published during the time you were gone. At that time, I didn't ask about company matters. "My mother and the others put out that fake news, but I have since retracted it." Mitchel pursed his lips and declared, “Wait. "In three days I will have the legal team publish a statement making it clear that there is no connection between the Glyn and Dixon families other than collaboration."

Raegan's heart swelled with warmth as she heard his explanation. A second later, he held back the emotion welling up in his heart. It wasn't appropriate for him to feel this way. He still remembered his brother's words. He couldn't easily fall for Mitchel's words, nor let himself get carried away.

Maintaining a stoic expression, Raegan declared in a strained voice, “What am I waiting for? This is something you and Miss Glyn have to take care of. "It has nothing to do with me."

Mitchel couldn't bear to let her walk away from him, so he pulled her into his arms. “How can it have nothing to do with you?”

He hugged her tightly, pulling her closer to him. "You are my wife, and ours is the most intimate relationship in the world."

Mitchel's voice was deep and seductive, with a hint of persuasion.

Raegan's face turned red and she pushed him away in an attempt to escape his embrace. «What wife? "We are divorced."

Mitchel's hug grew tighter, his words charged with emotion. «Even though we are divorced, you will always be my wife in my heart. "I do not wish to find another wife."

“But, but…” Raegan thought of a way to refute his words. After a while, he commented, "I have someone I want to go out with."

Instantly, Mitchel's eyes darkened. I knew he was going to talk about Stefan again. Even though he was almost sure they hadn't started dating yet, he couldn't help but feel jealous.

Mitchel's handsome face was covered in a delicate layer of frost. She fixed her intense eyes on Raegan and stated sharply, "Don't tell me you're interested in someone else." Even if you're already dating someone, I don't care.

His tone was aggressive, allowing no objections.

Raegan thought that this domineering man was going to threaten her again, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

Mitchel noticed her frown and quickly changed the subject. «I don't care even if I become your lover. "This way I will be Janey's stepfather."

"That?" Regan's jaw dropped and she even convinced herself that she had heard him wrong.

Mitchel was too embarrassed to repeat those words. He just blurted out what he thought as soon as he saw her frown, he didn't want to see Raegan angry with him.

He pretended to clear his throat and snorted, "It doesn't matter." If you haven't heard it, you can forget it.

But how could Raegan forget? He had heard it clearly. He pondered her words and laughed so hard he began to cough.

Mitchel's face turned ugly, but he still reached out to caress her back.

"What's so funny to you?"

«Do you want to be my lover? Janey's stepfather? Raegan ignored his unpleasant expression and mocked him mercilessly.

Their conversation was interrupted when the door burst open.

At that moment, Matteo entered Mitchel's room. He walked in just in time to hear Mitchel's comment about "being Raegan's lover." He couldn't help but lower his head and let out a small laugh.

Earlier, while being instructed to take Raegan to prepare soup for Mitchel, Matteo realized that the disguised nurse was actually Raegan.

Mitchel felt even more embarrassed by this. He never expected Matteo to arrive just in time to catch his words. Annoyed, he asked: "Why did you come?"

Matteo quickly responded: “I brought you the soup.”

Matteo had noticed that the soup Raegan had made had spilled, so he put what was left in a thermos, thinking that Mitchel was eager to take a sip. I hadn't expected to stumble upon such a fun talk.

Without saying much, Matteo poured a bowl of soup, carefully placing it in front of Mitchel. Turning around, he saw Raegan's bare feet. He thought he had never seen such pretty feet. The fingers reminded him of pearls, round, shiny and adorable. He stared at Raegan's feet for too long.

Suddenly, a cough from Mitchel snapped Matteo out of his daze.

Mitchel looked at Matteo coldly, as if warning him.

Matteo shuddered, quickly lowered his head and decided it was best to leave.

However, after Mitchel took the soup and tasted it, he told Matteo, "Finish the rest."

Matteo was surprised. He never thought that Mitchel would share with him what Raegan had prepared.

When Raegan prepared the nutritious soup, Matteo had been watching eagerly from the side, having previously enjoyed Raegan's cooking, which was incredibly delicious.

Raegan looked uneasy, watching as Matteo happily took the thermos and walked away. He silently hoped that Matteo wouldn't drink it.

Mitchel looked at the creamy white soup and asked, "Did you make it?"

“Yes,” Raegan replied, feeling a little guilty. "I tried so hard, I almost burned my fingers."

Mitchel gave a small smile, his tone cold but kind. "It sounds challenging."

With that, he raised the bowl.
