Mitchel tilted his head, met her eyes, and asked with a smile, “What does the matter refer to?"

Raegan looked at Mitchel speechlessly. Her ears suddenly felt hot.

She retorted, "You are so hateful!" He obviously understood what she meant, but he still asked. He must be embarrassing her deliberately.

Upon seeing Raegan's expression, Mitchel finally stopped teasing her.

He pinched her earlobe and said, "What I desire is for you to take care of me." He wanted to spend more time with her, to be with her, and cherish every moment with her.

“That's all?" Raegan asked in disbelief. Mitchel didn't seize the opportunity to make excessive demands. It was so unlikely of him.

This was not his style.

"You want more than that?" Mitchel was amused that Raegan seemed disoriented by his willingness not to pressure her, a deviation from her expectations. His lips suddenly quirked. “But, of course, if you want to do something else, I will be delighted to accept it."

He emphasized the words “something else" deliberately. Raegan's face flushed even more. "You wish!"

Raegan was about to get up from the bed. But Mitchel quickly pulled her back and held her waist tightly. “You are not allowed to leave tonight."

His words were full of his habitual authoritative tone. But actually, he was worried about her foot. It didn't seem serious. But she shouldn't wear shoes. Otherwise, her foot's condition would worsen.

It was better to let her stay overnight, so she could rest.

"No, I'm leaving." Raegan refused to stay, especially when she was reminded of the kiss they had just now. She felt her face was burning.

The corners of Mitchel's mouth curled up. "Look at me. With my current condition, what can I possibly do to you?"

When Raegan thought of his injuries, she couldn't help blaming herself. Her resistance weakened. She faltered, “But...”

“No buts," Mitchel interrupted. He hugged her even tighter, refusing to let her go.

"Shall I call your brother for this?" There was a hint of danger in his tone. "Should I tell him that his sister has to take care of the person who got even injured because of her?"

"You won't hold my brother responsible, right?" Raegan's eyes widened.

She warned, “Don't you dare!"

Mitchel's deep-set black eyes stared at her intensely. “You seem adept at negotiating with me."
