Without thinking, Eloise rushed to Nicole and snapped, "How dare you push him! Don't you have any manners?"

Indignant on Raegan's behalf, Nicole retorted, “I'd push him again if I could. He's a jerk!"

Eloise then glared at Raegan and began berating her.

"So, you're Mitchel's ex-wife. Have you no shame? How could you show up at his office when you're already divorced? Have some self-respect. Don't bother Mitchel. Don't stoop so low."

The noise around them grew. For a moment, Raegan felt a wave of dizziness.

As the scene before her appeared to recede, Raegan's memory took over, and she recalled the times Mitchel had done similar things but with Lauren.

She narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time. Mitchel at this moment overlapped his image from her memories.

Mitchel had not changed, and she always ended up enduring the pain.

“What are you talking about? You're the one obsessed with Mitchel.

Raegan left him," Nicole sneered.

Nicole and Eloise's argument escalated, drawing the attention of everyone around.

“Nicole, please, no more fighting," Raegan interjected. Her voice, though not loud, cut through the heated exchange.

She limped forward, picked up the wallet, and extended it toward Eloise. With a resigned smile, Raegan said, "He dropped his wallet.

I found it and intended to return it. Please, don't misunderstand.

Not everyone wants to get back with their ex."

With those words, Raegan grasped Nicole's hand and walked away, avoiding Mitchel's gaze.

As Raegan walked away, her feet ached, and her steps were rigid. But she was determined not to show her discomfort. She focused on walking with as much grace as possible and masked any sign of pain.

Meanwhile, Mitchel looked visibly upset.

Eloise handed over his wallet and muttered, "Your ex-wife's friend is so aggressive. It makes me think your ex-wife must be difficult, too.

It's good that you're no longer together.
