Raegan was too surprised to say a word.
Lauren noticed Raegan’s silence, so she continued, “I know there have been many conflicts between Mitchel and you because of me. But now, I am personally telling you that there is nothing between Mitchel and me. All these years, he has always treated me as his sister. So, please, don’t be angry at him because of me.”
As she spoke, Lauren sounded cautious and sincere. She was totally different from the arrogant and domineering Lauren that Raegan knew..
Lauren was about to say something more, but she suddenly started coughing.
Mitchel looked at her with a frown and asked concernedly, “What’s wrong?”

“Go back and rest then. Thank you for coming here today,” Mitchel said indifferently.
Disappointment flashed through Lauren’s eyes, but it was only fleeting. She forced herself to cheer up and said, “All right, I’ll take my leave now. I wish you two a happy life together. See you around.”
Lauren had already left, but Raegan was still in a daze. She was so lost in thought that she didn’t even know that only she and Mitchel were left in the ward now. She only came to her senses when Mitchel pinched her cheek.
Then she asked in confusion, “Mitchel, why are you doing this?”
Mitchel looked at her with raised eyebrows.
“Don’t you still understand?”
Raegan’s heart raced. She already had an idea in mind, but she was not sure about it. She feared that she would disappoint herself again.
It was better to hear it directly from Mitchel.
Mitchel held Raegan in his arms, and she didn’t resist. Then he said in a deep voice, “Since I’ve told you that I don’t want a divorce, I don’t want you to misunderstand my relationship with Lauren.”
As he spoke, his voice sounded pleasant in her ears. His embrace was so gentle that Raegan’s heart instantly softened.
She couldn’t help scolding herself. Why did she change her mind so easily when it came to Mitchel?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt the thought of this, she pushed him away and asked, “So what if I misunderstand your relationship with Lauren? Why do you care?”
A trace of displeasure flashed across Mitchel’s eyes for a moment.
But he held it back and said patiently, “Because you are my wife.”
But for Raegan, the word “wife” was quite subtle. Yes, she was his wife now. What about in the coming days? No one could tell. He might meet and marry another woman soon.
Raegan reminded herself not to be swayed by Mitchel’s words.
Otherwise, she would get hurt again in the end. Besides, she didn’t want to be Mitchel’s second choice all the time.
“Mitchel, I’m sick of being your wife. I don’t want it anymore.”
