"I can't do that," Mitchel said coldly.

Raegan's heart sank. She recalled Nicole's caution about keeping Mitchel in the dark.

It was clear as day, just as Raegan sided with Nicole, Mitchel was undeniably loyal to Jarrod.

With little else to say, Raegan merely acknowledged, "Understood."

She then diverted her gaze to the scenery passing by the window.

Mitchel's irritation grew. Why couldn't she just ask a few more questions?

But Raegan dismissed his irritation, her focus lost to the view outside.

Mitchel's anger intensified even further. This heartless woman only seemed to acknowledge him when she needed something from him.

As they approached the city, Raegan suddenly demanded, "Stop the car!"

Mitchel slowed down and asked, "What's the matter?"

Blushing, Raegan said, "There's something I need to buy."

“What do you need?"

Raegan struggled for words, gesturing toward a drugstore, saying, "I need to visit that place."

Mitchel immediately grasped the situation. His expression darkened instantly. "You don't need that."

Raegan's cheeks burned brighter. "Yes, I do." She blamed him for their lack of caution.

Mitchel's expression turned stern and said, “You're not in your fertile days. What are you worried about?"

Raegan was shocked. “How do you know that?"

"It's not something I'd forget," Mitchel said nonchalantly as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

Raegan felt her ears heat up. This man was too much! How could he keep track of such details? She corrected him firmly, “Even then, there's always a chance."

Mitchel's face softened into a smile and said, "Don't fret. If it happens, we'll just be giving Janey a sibling to play with."
