Raegan knew of Mitchel only through TV reports about the growing bond between the Dixon and Glyn families, hinting at the potential connection through marriage.

This news had boosted the Dixon Group's stock.

During a shopping trip at the mall, Raegan ran into Luciana, who was there with Katie. They shared a warmth that resembled a true mother-daughter bond.

Seeing them together, Raegan understood that Luciana had been somewhat restrained when Luciana was with her.

This made Raegan realize Luciana had previously held back her affection, perhaps due to their different statuses.

Upon seeing Raegan's uneasy expression, Luciana gave a brief nod and quickly left with Katie, preferring Raegan's limited interaction with Katie.

The salesperson, smiling brightly, remarked, “That lady was incredibly generous! She purchased national-style wedding gifts, designed by a renowned designer, for a billion dollars. She mentioned it's for her future daughter-in-law."

It seemed Katie might soon marry into the Dixon family, which explained Luciana's uneasy look when seeing her.

Alone in the mall, Raegan touched her flat belly, signing at the timing of her pregnancy.

Yet, she resolved to raise her baby alone, inspired by students who juggled studies and parenthood.

Determined, she decided against meeting Mitchel again.

However, faced with Nicole's uncertain situation, Raegan felt she had no choice but to reach out to Mitchel.

She hesitantly dialed Matteo's number.

Matteo answered promptly, his tone polite as always, “Miss Hayes."

“Matteo, I hate to bother you. Is Mitchel available today?"

Matteo, glancing at Mitchel busy with a video conference, responded, “He's quite tied up. I can relay the message to him if you want."

Raegan paused, realizing the difficulty of explaining without talking directly.

She finally said, “It's nothing. Sorry to disturb you, Matteo."

As she was about to end the call, Matteo added, “Mr. Dixon has been staying late at the company for work these days."

Surprised, Raegan responded with a brief, “Okay.”
