She wanted to let Mitchel know how unfair he was. But she decided not to. He should realize it himself.

Raegan bit her lower lip hard to suppress the tears that were about to fall again. She didn't want to cry in front of Mitchel anymore.

She had shed more than enough tears for him.

If he had reciprocated her love for him, then he was worth her tears.

She wouldn't mind crying because of him.

But he never loved her. His heart only belonged to Lauren. So, her tears were always in vain.

Mitchel noticed that something was wrong with Raegan's expression. He didn't want to make her feel worse, so he said in a deep and magnetic voice, "Raegan, I don't mean to blame you. I know you are angry. You are full of resentment now. But it's all my fault. I didn't handle our problems well."

Raegan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to talk to her in such a soft voice at this time.

Mitchel seemed to have returned to the old Mitchel she knew. He was sweet and tender to her back then. Suddenly, she had an illusion that they returned to the past.

The Mitchel Raegan knew back then was gentle and patient.

Those were the traits that made her addicted to him.

While Raegan was reminiscing about the past, Mitchel spoke again. He said in a soft voice, "Raegan, everything was just a misunderstanding.

Don't make a fuss over it. Apologize to Lauren and let this matter go."

His words were like a basin of cold water that was poured on her head. Instantly, her mood sank to the bottom again.

Different emotions intertwined in her chest. She felt so complicated that she already began to get upset.

Raegan's heart twitched. It was very painful, making her want to curl up.

She thought Mitchel's gentleness toward her was genuine. It turned out he only did it to coax her to apologize to Lauren. He really valued Lauren that much.

What was more heartbreaking than this? She felt devastated. Her heart was riddled with holes.

Why did he keep on hurting her again and again? Did she deserve all this?

Raegan was silent for a long time before she looked into Mitchel's eyes and said, "Mitchel, what if Lauren stabs me to death with a sharp knife? Are you not going to believe it because you didn't witness it with your own eyes? Are you still going to look for evidence? Are you going to blame me because you think it's my fault to assert that?"
