Luciana merely gave Raegan an indifferent glance and showed no interest in interacting with her.

But Raegan didn't mind since she had given the respect and courtesy that was expected of her. She didn't give a thought to whether Luciana Liked her or not. She doubted they could get along.

"Let's leave," Mitchel said, taking Raegan's hand with a newfound softness in his voice. His hand emanated warmth as it enveloped hers, his thumb tenderly stroking it, offering comfort.

Raegan's eyes lit up, and she smiled, signaling that she was okay.

Mitchel returned the smile, shedding his icy demeanor to reveal a charming warmth.

Katie watched their interaction, feeling a surge of jealousy in her chest. She balled her hands into fists, overwhelmed with envy.

“Mitchel, how can you just walk away? What about your mom?" Katie's voice trembled, dismayed that not even Luciana's plight could make Mitchel stay.

“Why am I leaving? Surely, you know." Mitchel's tone was flat and icy.

Katie froze, at a loss for words.

"I don't want to see you," Mitchel stated coldly.

Katie's mind went blank. The unwavering coldness in Mitchel's voice added to the humiliation. His indifference to whether his words wounded her was clear.

Tears filled her eyes as Katie protested, "Mitchel, I'm carrying your child. Do you really need to be this harsh?"

"You called I was being harsh?" Mitchel scoffed, “Let me make it clear to you. Raegan is the only woman who will ever be the mother of my children. No one else will ever hold that title."

Katie turned ashen, staggering backward to collapse on the bed.

Luciana chimed in, “Enough. Mitchel, it's time for you to leave. Do not upset Katie anymore."

But Katie still didn't want Mitchel to leave. She had gone through so much just to get Mitchel to return to this mansion. She had just announced her pregnancy publicly, betting that Mitchel couldn't counter the press from the Glyn family. She planned for them to spend time together here for a few days, hoping for Mitchel to struggle to explain things.

But Katie never imagined he'd return with Raegan. As tears flowed, she was inconsolable. "Mitchel, why are you doing this? What do I mean to you? And our baby?"

Mitchel looked away and said coldly, "You delayed the press conference because you were already pregnant, correct? You aimed to use the announcement as leverage to bind me to you, didn't you?"

"No, Mitchel, that's not it. It's just that I don't want to announce my pregnancy too early. I was just waiting for the right time,"

Katie argued.
