And the heat was so suffocating that she found it difficult to breathe. She felt very uncomfortable.

Why did Raegan feel nervous and uncomfortable? That was because Kyler sat opposite her, and Mitchel held her hand tightly under the table.

She and Mitchel were like a young couple who fell in love with each other but had to keep it secret from their elders.

Kyler chuckled in amusement.

"Is it hot? I don't feel it that way at all. I think young people nowadays are afraid of heat. In my time, we actually loved playing under the sun."

Kyler was so engrossed in his talking that he accidentally dropped his fork. It fell to the floor with a clang. The maid beside him immediately stepped forward to pick it up, but he raised his hand to stop her.

"I can do it. I'm not yet too old to bend."

When Raegan heard this, her face turned pale at once. If Kyler bent down, he would definitely see her and Mitchel holding hands.

The moment Kyler moved his body, her eyes widened. Raegan was so scared that she even forgot to breathe.

Just when she thought Kyler would catch them, Mitchel reacted quickly and let go of her hand.

Raegan really thought they would be discovered by Kyler. Fortunately, Mitchel was quick to react. She unconsciously heaved a euphoric sigh of relief. But she suddenly choked on the air, making her cough violently.

The noise she made attracted Kyler's attention. While he handed his fork to the maid, he looked at her and asked worriedly, “Raegan, why are you choking again? Are you okay?"

Then he turned to Mitchel. With an angry look in his eyes, he snapped, “Mitchel, what kind of a man are you? Can't you see that Raegan is having a hard time? Why don't you even pat her back?"

Mitchel immediately stretched out his hand upon hearing Kyler's scolding. But before Mitchel could touch Raegan, she dodged. Actually, she was afraid that he would make fun of her again.

Because of her reaction, Mitchel pretended to look dejected. He looked at Kyler and said helplessly, "You see? She won't let me touch her."

Even Kyler was confused when he saw Raegan's reaction. Kyler squinted and looked at them inquisitively. Then he fixed his eyes on Mitchel and asked, “Did you do something that made Raegan unhappy?"

Judging from Kyler's actuation, he was very protective of Raegan. It was as if Raegan was his granddaughter, and Mitchel was the outsider.

At this moment, Raegan had already recovered. She quickly added fuel to the fire by deliberately complaining, “Kyler, Mitchel doesn't know how to handle his strength. My strength is no match for him. I don't want to get hurt."

Kyler knew that Raegan was only joking. This made him think that she and Mitchel had a close relationship. He was so happy that he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Ha-ha!"
