“Why do you close your eyes?"

Raegan was at a loss for words.

She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see him staring at her. He reached out, pinched her cheeks, and said seriously, “I want to apologize to you."

“Apologize? For what?"

“For making you feel wronged."

As he spoke, his deep-set eyes never left her face.

What was he apologizing for? He was apologizing for Alexis' attitude toward her.

Although Raegan was satisfied with how Mitchel dealt with the situation moments earlier, it still didn't change the fact that she was hurt and upset by Alexis’ insults.

But now that Mitchel apologized on Alexis' behalf, she felt much better.

Mitchel cupped Raegan's face again and stared at her intently.

“Now, can we continue where we left off?"

Raegan's heart skipped a beat.

"Continue where we left off? What do you mean?"

Mitchel gave her leg a nudge and reminded her, "About closing your eyes earlier."

Raegan closed her eyes earlier because she thought Mitchel would kiss her. But she only misunderstood him. It was too embarrassing. Did he really have to bring it up again?

She pursed her lips to cover up her embarrassment.

“I closed my eyes because they hurt. It's not what you think it is.”

After saying this, she got off him.

“I have to go. There's a monthly meeting at the office today.”

Mitchel knew she was too shy to admit it, so he went along with her.
