I Am Not Only Pursuing Her, But Also marryin...
Mitchel's expression darkened in an instant.
Yet, Henley remained indifferent to Mitchel’s growing anger.
He scrutinized Raegan, asking with evident concern, "Are you okay?” Raegan simply nodded.
Fury built up inside Mitchel to the brink of eruption, his longstanding resentment toward Henley mounting.
With his tongue pressed to his teeth, Mitchel hissed, "I've truly had it with you, Henley Brooks!" Their eyes locked in a silent
standoff, neither willing to back down.
"Mr. Dixon, you must be kidding." While Mitchel seethed, Henley maintained his calm.
In an unaffected tone, Henley stated, "As adults, it's perfectly normal for Raegan and me to spend time together.
Perhaps it's your conduct that requires scrutiny, Mr. Dixon.
After all, it's clear Raegan doesn't enjoy your company.” Mitchel glossed over Henley's final remark, fixating instead on the

take you home. Ignore him.” Raegan decisively freed herself from Mitchel's grasp, replying simply, "No, thank you.” Mitchel's expression darkened at her swift rejection. "Do you actually believe he's decent? Are you aware of his vileness?" Before Raegan could respond, Henley interjected, "Mr. Dixon, any misunderstandings aside, I refrained from disclosing my feelings to Raegan while she was married.

Henley, unyielding as never before, countered with a swift punch to Mitchel's jaw.
They scuffled, each refusing to yield.
In healthier days, Mitchel would've easily subdued Henley, but his recent illness left him winded after a few strikes.

"Enough! Stop it, Mitchel!” Mitchel hesitated, his fist midair, which Henley used to taunt further, "I plan to court and marry Raegan.” That provoked Mitchel to another assault, only halting when Raegan rushed in, pushing him back. She then turned to Henley,
