Chapter 249 You Are My Wife

Nicole found herself enveloped in the suffocating embrace of Jarrod.
Nicole's warm tears seeped into the very core of Jarrod's being, gradually softening his once cold and ruthless heart.
The sorrow that enveloped Nicole seemed contagious since Jarrod felt his heartache intensifying.
His slender fingers clung tightly to her, the pressure turning them almost ghostly white.
It took him a while to muster the strength to speak.
"I won't let you die.Don't even entertain the thought."
Drained of strength, Nicole couldn't muster a retort.Her body succumbed to weariness, and she drifted into slumber within the
safety of Jarrod's arms.
Moonlight spilled into the room through the window, casting a gentle, greyish veil over everything.
As Jarrod held Nicole and listened to the rhythmic cadence of her breathing, he couldn't help but let his true feelings surface.
"Nicole, I want to be good to you again.I am pathetic, right?"
Despite being deceived by her more than once, Jarrod found himself still in love with her, allowing her to repeatedly inflict pain
upon him.He must be the most stupid person on the planet.
Lost in contemplation, Jarrod wrestled with his emotions.
Meanwhile, Raegan concluded her class at half past eight.
She then made her way to the subway station.
On her way, her phone suddenly rang.
It was Mitchel calling.
"Is the class over?" he asked.
"Yes, it's over," Raegan replied.
"How about I come to pick you up?" Mitchel suggested.

Stunned by his initiative, Raegan glanced around, realizing the subway station was not far away.
"Don't bother. I almost reach the station."
Mitchel's voice, magnetic and familiar, asserted from the other end of the phone, "What are you talking about? You are my
wife.I'm more than willing to pick you up."
His tone left Raegan momentarily stunned.She suddenly remembered that she was, once again, Mitchel's wife.
However, this marital status rested upon a foundation of mutual agreement.
Raegan was saddened by the fact that she and Mitchel got married twice because of Kyler.
Despite harboring no ill will toward Kyler, she couldn't escape the nagging sense that she was merely a pawn in Mitchell's eyes.
Mitchel would think of her when he needed her and discard her when he did not.
Essentially, she felt like nobody to him.
When Raegan hesitated to respond, Mitchel asked, "Did you forget?"
When she heard this, Raegan thought he was reminding her about their agreement.

In a swift reply, she assured him, "Of course, I remember.I'll honor our agreement."
She was determined to take their arrangement seriously and uphold her end of the deal.
This time around, she wouldn't be as naive as she had been before.
A pregnant pause ensued on the other end of the line, and the atmosphere turned tense.
Suddenly, a woman's voice echoed through the phone, "Mitchel, Luciana asked me to bring you dinner..."
The voice struck Raegan as familiar, and after a moment's contemplation, she identified it as Katie's.
Katie was the daughter-in-law Luciana wanted.
An unexpected wave of despondency washed over Raegan, and her heart sank.

his voice. "Just put these down for now." But Katie wasn't backing down. "No way! You need to take a break and eat them.Once you have eaten all, my mission will be accomplished." Giving her an impatient glance, Mitchel asked, "Don't you have anything else to do lately?" Katie had become a frequent visitor to his company in the past few days. A slight blush adorned Katie's cheeks under Mitchel's gaze. She playfully stuck out her tongue and retorted, "Come on.How can you be so heartless? I brought you a meal out of pure kindness.And now you are scolding me?" Mitchel remained indifferent as he said, "I don't need it.Can't you understand what my mother is trying to do?" Katie blinked and feigned innocence. "What do you mean?" "She is trying to set you up with me."

Mitchel responded with the same indifference, "It's not about that.I already have someone in my heart." Katie bit her lip and asked, "You are

Undeterred, Katie continued, "I don't think she cares about you, Mitchel."
These words acted like a sharp reminder, stirring the thorns at the bottom of Mitchel’s heart once more.
Mitchel hadn't expected an outsider like Katie to see through Raegan's lack of concern for him.
Even in the eyes of others, it was evident.
Seeing Mitchel silent, Katie didn't say anything else and took the opportunity to regroup her thoughts before speaking again.
With a reassuring smile, Katie suggested, "Since it's Luciana's idea, why don't we just play along?"
Mitchel looked up at her with confusion when he heard that.
Katie explained, “Even if I'm not around, Luciana will find someone for you.Why not use me as a convenient excuse? It's no
bother to me at all."
Mitchel couldn't help but frown.He disliked this idea.
Undeterred, Katie persuaded him, "There is no need to worry.I don't have any feelings for you, and I don't feel like attending any
blind dates my family set for me.This could be a mutually beneficial arrangement if we pretend to be a couple.It's a win- win
strategy."
Mitchel neither consented nor opposed.
Without waiting for Mitchel to voice his opinion, Katie continued, "Then it's settled.We don't need to broadcast it to the world.Let's
just inform our families that we are in a relationship.Simple as that."
With that declaration, she picked up the lunch box.
