This kind gesture went unnoticed by Raegan. Her mind was somewhere else.

She kept thinking of when Tessa told her Mitchel had gone to see Lauren.

Why didn't he bring her with him? Could it be that Tessa was just lying?

Something occurred to Raegan at this moment. Judging by how ill Lauren reportedly was, maybe she wasn't strong enough to be out of the hospital now.

That seemed like a logical reason. However, she felt that Mitchel was acting strange. He didn't seem to mind that she told Tessa about their marriage.

Raegan assumed that she was probably thinking too much. Since Tessa was close to Lauren, it was only a matter of time before Tessa found out. Perhaps that was why Mitchel didn't give her hell.

While she was still lost in thought, Raegan suddenly felt a pinch on her thigh.

"Ouch!" She couldn't help but scream out.

To her surprise, she looked at Mitchel, only to find him sipping his soup as if he did nothing.

What was this man doing? Was he out of his mind?

Raegan's head buzzed, and her heart beat faster and faster.

“What's the matter, Raegan?" Kyler stopped eating and asked with concern.

"I... Nothing. I almost choked. That's all."

Raegan flashed a smile, but her fist was clenched under the table as she tried to restrain her heart from jumping out.

"The beef stir-fry is good. Have some more."

"Alright."

Raegan breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, she heard Mitchel say in a low voice, "You haven't had a single spoonful. How did you almost get choked?!

For a moment, she was lost for words.

She wished she could just shut Mitchel up with duct tape.

After taking a deep breath, Raegan explained, “It just happened. I guess I choked on my saliva.”
