"Why won't you believe me?"

Why was it so hard for him to trust her, just once?

Mitchel retorted icily, "If you want me to believe you, then answer me this. Did the doctor make a mistake when he said you and Henley are a couple?"

“It was all just a misunderstanding. You saw it when you came to the hospital later. Henley took me there because of my injuries. He found out about my pregnancy from the doctor."

Raegan knew she had to tread carefully, for the doctor's sake. She had to tell the truth.

But where was Mitchel when she needed him?

Should she have declined Henley's help and braved the heavy rain on her own?

“Are you telling me that it was a misunderstanding that he knew you are pregnant and pretended to be your husband?"

Mitchel's eyes dripped with sarcasm.

Raegan knew that he didn't believe her.

“Mitchel, it really was just a misunderstanding. Henley had nothing to do with it. It's just that you never trust me."

She forced a bitter smile and added, "If those words came from Lauren, would you believe them without a second thought?"

The mention of Lauren made Mitchel frown, and he asked, "Why bring her into this?"

The night was dark, the wind fierce.

Raegan stood amidst it all, trembling like a withered leaf on the brink of being blown away.

She murmured, “I'm just curious why you have so much faith in her but doubt everything I say. It's been two years, and you still don't know me? Am I really that dirty in your eyes?"

Hearing the profound disappointment in her voice, Mitchel felt a pang of sadness.

He couldn't understand why he treated her this way. If it were Lauren, he would readily set her up with another man.

But when it came to Raegan, the mere thought of another man showing interest in her sent him into a fit of jealousy.

At this moment, he questioned whether it was love that he was feeling.
