Chapter: 42
She was so exhausted and hungry that she didn't even have the strength to argue.
For a moment, Raegan felt that she would share the similar fate of the takeout being thrown into the trash can. With Lauren's return, Mitchel might divorce her any minute.
"Don't bother. I'm tired. Mr. Dixon, please leave me alone."
Her tone and expression were so cold as she walked past him toward the bedroom. Before she could take any steps, Mitchel grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back. She instantly fell into his arms.
"I didn't mean to push you back then, Raegan. I was just worried about Lauren," he said softly, staring into her eyes.
Raegan's eyelashes fluttered, and her heart skipped a beat.
Somehow, she sensed his tenderness for her. But then, she realized she was only imagining things again!
Mitchel's voice had always been cold and somewhat gentle.
A stab came in her heart before she could bask in the tenderness now.
At this moment, their bodies were so close. Raegan could smell his scent, and there was a strange female fragrance that was definitely not hers.
It was the same one she smelled when she was close enough to Lauren earlier.
There was only one way Lauren could have gotten her scent on him and that was by hugging! The thought of them in that position suddenly made Raegan feel sick. She pushed Mitchel away and rushed into the bathroom.
It wasn't until Raegan threw up everything in her stomach that she felt much better.
Wiping her mouth, she walked to the door of the bathroom when Mitchel blocked her way. He grabbed her hand and then studied her face with his eyes squinted.
"What's wrong with you?"
The intense gaze Mitchel gave Raegan now reminded Raegan of the scary dream she had earlier.
In her dream, Mitchel had told her to abort the child when he knew she was pregnant.
Her heart began to race as she stammered, “I... I don't know. Maybe it's something I ate. I'll be fine once I take some rest."
Mitchel's frown deepened. It was hard to tell if he believed her or not.
Raegan was so nervous that she bit her lips and murmured, “You're hurting me."
