Mitchel's face bore the mark of a slap. In that instant, as if an explosion had occurred in his mind, a surge of fuel welled up inside him.

"Raegan, what the hell?" he exclaimed in complete disbelief.

Raegan dared to slap him again. Perhaps he had been too lenient with her.

To his surprise, Raegan raised her hand again, ready to deliver another slap.

But this time, as she swung, Mitchel intercepted her. Her hand Landed on the back of his, emitting a loud, crisp sound. It could be seen she had used all her strength for that blow.

“Are you out of your mind? What the hell is wrong with you?"

Mitchel seized Raegan's wrist, intending to show her the consequences of her actions. As he spoke, his veins throbbed and stood on his forehead.

However, as he was about to make a move, he felt her wrist trembling in his grasp.

How could it be...

Puzzled, he looked up at he and questioned, "Your hand..."

He could not finish his sentence. The sight of tears on Raegan's face blanked out his thoughts, leaving his questions unasked.

Raegan slowly withdrew her hand. She clasped both hands tightly and pinched her palms to still the trembling. Her eyes, burning with hatred, met Mitchel's.

“Mitchel, I've never done anything wrong in our marriage. Don't tarnish me with your vile thoughts.”

Raegan had hoped that even if their relationship had ended, they could avoid hostility. Even if they met, they could at least maintain their dignity.

But now, she realized she would never find peace with such a man.

At this moment, Raegan pinched her palm and continued, “I've always known I'm not the one you love. There's no need to remind me. I never believed you couldn't live without me. I'm well aware of who I am."

The self-deprecation in her tone left Mitchel speechless. He wanted to object and assure her it was not what he meant.

But Raegan did not give him the chance.

"Mr. Dixon, I hope you don't forget what you said. From now on, we're nothing to each other. If we meet again, please pretend you don't know me. I don't want to see you anymore.”

With those final words, she turned and slowly walked away. It did not take long before she disappeared from his view.
