Chapter: 455
“Don't worry about it. I got this." Raegan whipped out her wallet and settled the bill.
When the shop owner handed the change to Raegan, she could not help but remark, “Is this handsome man your boyfriend? You two look Like you're made for each other."
Raegan did not answer and merely offered an awkward nod.
Back in the car, Mitchel was in high spirits and even confidently said, "You see? That shop owner has a good taste!"
Raegan was at a loss for words. In response, she just closed her eyes and said nothing.
Not long after, they pulled up at the graveyard.
Raegan laid the bouquet and cupcakes in front of her grandmother's tombstone and knelt down.
In the photo mounted on the stone, her grandmother was beaming with happiness.
Then, like a quiet storm, tears started to roll down Raegan's cheeks.
"Grandma, I promise you that I will live a good life as you wished," she said between sobs.
Mitchel, too, knelt beside her and bowed three times toward the tombstone.
"Grandma, I give you my word that I'll take good care of Raegan."
Raegan found his words odd.
Actually, Mitchel was so wired today. Just yesterday, he was so livid that he almost strangled her to death. But now here he was, acting all sweet and concerned in front of her grandmother's grave.
As they were leaving the graveyard, Raegan asked Mitchel to give her a lift and said, "You can head back. I'm staying here tonight."
Though her uncle had sold her grandmother's house, she had managed to rent it. But she hadn't been back in ages. Therefore, she planned to stay overnight here.
Mitchel asked where she was headed. After she told him the address, he drove her there and got out of the car with her.
When Raegan opened the door, a musty smell greeted them.
Mitchel wrinkled his nose and asked incredulously, "You're staying here for the night?"
Raegan shrugged it off.
