Raegan's smile faltered momentarily, and she responded angrily, "You're kidding me, right?"

Mitchel maintained a stoic expression and replied, "As long as you agree to my conditions, I will keep my word and proceed to the court with you immediately."

Impatiently, Raegan inquired, “What are your conditions then?"

Mitchel continued, “First, don't cut off contact with me after the divorce. Second, promise me that you won't remarry within the next six months."

“That's all?" Raegan was slightly taken aback.

She had expected Mitchel to make things more complicated, but these conditions seemed surprisingly straightforward. In truth, she had no intentions of marrying again, even without Mitchel's request.

If she were to find a stepfather for Janey, it would be a careful and considered choice. Marrying someone new was not a decision she took lightly.

Furthermore, there was little reason for her to actively avoid Mitchel since their encounters were infrequent.

Additionally, she didn't hold any deep resentment toward him. If they happened to cross paths in the future, she figured she would greet him out of courtesy.

Mitchel pursed his lips and confirmed. "Yes, those are my conditions."

Raegan considered his conditions reasonable. As she was about to agree, Mitchel added another request, “However, it doesn't mean I'm giving up on you. You mentioned fairness, right? I'll grant you freedom, but I'll also do my best to rekindle your feelings for me.

On your part, you should let go of any biases and treat me like any other suitor. Can you agree to that?"

In reality, Mitchel was taking a gamble. After a night of reflection, he had decided to offer Raegan the fairness she desired. Believing that their past love could be rekindled, he was putting everything on the line to win her back.

Even if he ultimately lost her, perhaps, he would wish for Raegan to find happiness in her life. But whether he could bear to see Raegan with another man raised suspicion.

Raegan sensed there was more to Mitchel's conditions than met the eye.

She hesitated, unsure if she should agree.

Mitchel couldn't resist needling her further, saying, "You don't have faith in yourself? Are you worried you might just end up falling for me all over again?"

Unsurprisingly, his words irked Raegan. "You're quite the narcissist!

Who in their right mind would fall for you, huh? If you want to pursue me, just go ahead. Frankly, I have no romantic feelings left for you.

Raegan's words strangely triggered a twinge in her heart, as if they had awakened a forgotten memory, though she remembered nothing from the past.
