Chapter 754

"Raegan, what's wrong?" Luis asked, gently stroking her back.

This small gesture unleashed the torrent of tears Raegan had been holding back.

Raegan's tears fell like scattered beans, scattering across the floor.

“Uh…” Seeing Raegan collapse; Luis felt a wave of helplessness.

He quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her. «Don't cry. Tell me what's wrong," he urged in a low voice.

Despite her efforts, Raegan's tears continued to flow uncontrollably.

Raegan accepted the handkerchief from Luis and hastily dried her eyes. Then, he shrugged and held his breath, managing to stifle his tears, but his shoulders continued to shake.

Looking up, he asked, “Did you know that Mitchel is back?”

“I…” Luis scratched his head, pausing before admitting, “I knew it.”

"When did he come back?" Raegan insisted.

Luis thought for a moment and then answered honestly: "He flew back yesterday morning."

Hearing this, Raegan's expression darkened. If Mitchel had landed yesterday morning, he must have known that Janey was missing and the mess his studio was facing. However, it did not appear until today.

That is to say, Mitchel's sudden appearance today was not because of her and Janey, but because Luciana was in danger.

Raegan remained completely silent. Her small face, still wet with tears, seemed fragile but endearing. "Did something happen to Mitchel?"

Now it was Luis's turn to be silent. He hesitated, struggling to find the right words. Finally he managed to say, "Let it be, Raegan."

His advice struck Raegan unexpectedly. She was completely dazed and disoriented. He blurted out without thinking: "Why?"

Seeing that Luis remained silent, she insisted: "Why? He risked his life for me. Why is he suddenly asking me to let him go?

Tears filled Raegan's beautiful eyes, and Luis couldn't bear it. He felt like cursing in his heart. «Raegan, listen to me. Try to forget him. Convince yourself that he is gone.

Being friends, Luis didn't want Raegan to get hurt. After all, he had seen the determination in Mitchel's eyes. For Raegan, the best defense was to keep her expectations low.

«Obviously it is here. How can I pretend it's not? Raegan's attempt at a smile was more painful than her tears.

The elevator had reached the first floor and Raegan didn't want to bother Luis anymore. «Mr. Stevens, I'm fine. "You go ahead."

Raegan stepped out of the elevator.

Luis, worried, looked out to see how he was. Raegan's knees buckled and she fell heavily to the ground. "Shit! "Raegan!"

"Hey! "Raegan!" Erick rushed forward, accidentally colliding with Luis, who was coming out to offer him support.
