It will only make the situation worse."

Henley agreed with a smile. Then he took Raegan to the studio for the outfit and makeup. He made her look the way his parents Liked.

Raegan didn't complain. She was willing to help Henley out after he had helped her tons of times. She thought it was just a dinner, no big deal.

But things turned a sudden twist from her expectation. She never thought she would meet Mitchel at dinner when she showed up as Henley's so-called girlfriend.

At a hotel in Ardlens, Henley's parents were eagerly awaiting their arrival at the entrance. As Raegan approached, Henley's mother embraced her warmly and presented her with some gifts.

Obviously, Gerda was delighted with her son's choice of girlfriend.

Raegan did not have the heart to refuse those gifts prepared by Gerda. Following Henley's cue, she accepted them but secretly planned to return them to Henley later.

Just then, Henley received a call and gestured for them to head upstairs without him.

Gerda linked arms with Raegan and chatted amiably as they walked toward the elevator.

But just after taking two steps, Raegan stopped in her tracks when she spotted a familiar figure. It was Mitchel.

The tall, commanding figure, flanked by a group, was heading toward the same elevator.

Their eyes briefly met. But the next second, they both averted their gaze with feigned indifference.

Raegan couldn't help but feel what a coincidence!

Not wanting to share the elevator with Mitchel, Raegan slowed her pace.

Unfortunately for her, just as the doors were about to close, Mitchel held the door open with his hand and stared at her and Gerda.

"Coming in?"

As Raegan was about to say she would just wait for the next elevator, Gerda led her into the elevator. Gerda then turned to Mitchel and thanked him with a smile.

Once the elevator doors closed, a deafening silence enveloped the space. Mitchel said nothing, and so did everyone around him, making the atmosphere weird.

Gerda, still holding Raegan's hand, enthusiastically said, "Raegan, I like you the moment I saw you. You're so adorable. You and Henley should marry soon and settle down. I'm looking forward to the day. Henley and you start a family and have some kids."

Upon hearing this, Raegan felt sharp eyes piercing through her back.
