Raegan's voice softened a little when she said, "No, that's not my intention. My brother seldom gets into fights. He was only impulsive at that time because he was worried about me. So, can you let it pass?"

"Fight?" Mitchel's eyes darkened. Raegan was staunchly defending her brother, and he couldn't help but feel jealous.

He corrected her, "It wasn't a fight. He assaulted me, and I wasn't allowed to defend myself." But if Erick was not Raegan's brother, Erick must have been lying in the ICU by now.

Mitchel felt a sense of injustice. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “You exploit my affection for you to mistreat me."

As he spoke, he sounded aggrieved. His mood was a bit melancholic.

When Raegan saw the expression on Mitchel's face, she felt like she was affected by his mood. Suddenly, her heart hurt. For some reason, she felt sorry for him. Indeed, it was Erick's fault for attacking Mitchel. And Raegan felt responsible for what had happened to Mitchel.

At this moment, she felt like he deserved an apology. So, she said softly, "On behalf of my brother, I apologize to you. I am so sorry for his impulsiveness and any distress I have caused you. Will you accept my apology?"

Mitchel was frustration. But it was not because of Erick's assault.

Instead, it was Raegan's unwavering stance of defending Erick that made him jealous and deeply hurt.

He snorted coldly. "What if he was the one who got hurt? I can't imagine what you can do just to avenge him. I'm sure you will confront me head-on. But now that it was me who got beaten, you'll simply ask for an apology on his behalf? I..."

Before Mitchel could finish his words, Raegan suddenly reached out, wrapped her arms around his neck, and gently pressed her lips against his.

Mimicking his actions just now, she kissed his thin lips softly.

Then, she stared at him with clear, beautiful eyes. She asked, “Is my apology accepted now?"

Her voice was soft and tender. This was her first time taking the initiative, so her face flushed.

Mitchel remained silent, and his expression stiffened for a while.

The joy in his heart was overwhelming. Suddenly, all his grievances seemed to have dissipated. He felt like it was worth being beaten by Erick.

At this moment, Mitchel's expressionless face showed a sense of inexplicable sharpness.

Raegan didn't make any further move, thinking Mitchel was still upset.

She felt disheartened. When she tried to step back, Mitchel suddenly held her firmly.

"It was you who kissed me first!" He stared at her intensely.
