Mitchel tightened his grip on Raegan's shoulder and said through gritted teeth, "You can't say that."

The impact of their divorce on Mitchel was unexpected to Raegan.

Admittedly, Raegan had not fully moved on from him. When she lost her unborn child, her resentment toward Mitchel intensified.

Her hatred for Mitchel was her coping mechanism to alleviate her pain.

But she realized it was time to let go. The first step to living a good life was to let go of the miserable past.

Raegan brushed off his hand, straightened up, and said with a neutral expression, “Mitchel, I don't care what's on your mind. I'm starting a new life, anyway. Ideally, exes should wish each other well in their future marriages. If you can't do that, I won't force you. But please, stay out of my life."

New life? Marriage? Staying out of her life?

Mitchel looked up, and his expression turned icy.

“Are you planning to marry someone else?"

Raegan met his gaze and pondered over his question.

What was wrong with her statement? Did he expect her to stay single forever?

One relationship with a wrong guy like him did not mean she despised all men.

Having lost her family, she longed to build one of her own.

But she was not in a rush to get into a relationship right now. Even if she did meet one great man someday, she would be cautious and not blinded by love.

However, these were not her immediate concerns. Her focus was on bettering herself.

“I'm only 22," Raegan said frankly.

“Even if I'm not marrying now, I will in the future."

Mitchel's hand tensed, and blue veins stood out on the back of it.

Moreover, his heart twisted in pain. How he wished he could lock her up, so she would not be able to leave him.

How could he let her marry someone else and then expect him to give the damn blessing?
