In the end, he still came and held her up willingly.

Lauren and Mitchel had been getting along for many years. So Lauren didn't believe that Mitchel had no affection for her. She assumed he must have developed some feelings for her. It was just that he didn't realize it yet. That was why she would do her best to help him recognize her importance in his heart.

Lauren wrapped her slender arms around Mitchel's neck and looked at him affectionately with teary eyes, thinking they would finally have an intimate moment this time. But to her dismay, he only put her down on the bed.

Then, he turned to Jocelyn and said coldly, “If you can't take care of Miss Murray, you can retire and rest at home now. I'll find someone capable."

There was a hint of instruction and warning in his words.

Jocelyn's heart skipped a beat.

She had been taking care of Lauren all her life. Although she was just a nanny, she treated Lauren as her own daughter since Lauren was born. Mitchel was very well aware of this, too. That was why Mitchel always treated her with respect.

It was the first time that he had said such unkind words to her.

Jocelyn was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, Mr. Dixon."

After hearing this, Mitchel turned around and left. Lauren's eyes widened upon seeing this.

She was about to get off the bed to follow him when Jocelyn suddenly held her arm.

Jocelyn looked at her, shook her head, and reminded, “Miss Murray, don't wear out Mr. Dixon's affection for you."

Lauren realized that Jocelyn made sense. She had no choice but to collapse on the bed. But tears kept streaming down her face uncontroLlably.

She looked up at Jocelyn and said between sobs, “Jocelyn, I'm scared.

What if Mitchel abandons me? What should I do?"

Jocelyn patted Lauren on the back and said comfortingly, "Miss Murray, Mr. Dixon didn't say he wouldn't divorce Raegan. He just can't divorce her for the time being because of Kyler. But don't worry. We have many ways to make them divorce as soon as possible. The most important thing now is to stay calm and be patient. Relax. Mr. Dixon's affection for you is your leverage."

Jocelyn's words reignited the extinguished fire in Lauren's eyes.

Lauren realized Jocelyn's words made sense. Mitchel just couldn't divorce Raegan for the time being because of Kyler. If it weren't for Kyler, Mitchel and Raegan would have divorced long ago.

Her biggest concern now was the baby in Raegan's belly. Raegan could use it to get a hold of Mitchel. So, that baby must disappear.

After thinking for a while, Lauren sat up straight, slowly wiped the tears off her face, and returned to being a gentle and generous lady.
