Raegan's Confession At a hotel in Ardlens, Henley's parents were eagerly awaiting their arrival at the entrance.
As Raegan approached, Henley's mother embraced her warmly and presented her with some gifts.
Obviously, Gerda was delighted with her son's choice of girlfriend.
Raegan did not have the heart to refuse those gifts prepared by Gerda.
Following Henley's cue, she accepted them but secretly planned to return them to Henley later.
Just then, Henley received a call and gestured for them to head upstairs without him.
Gerda linked arms with Raegan and chatted amiably as they walked toward the elevator.
But just after taking two steps, Raegan stopped in her tracks when she spotted a familiar figure.
It was Mitchel.
The tall, commanding figure, flanked by a group, was heading toward the same elevator.
Their eyes briefly met.
But the next second, they both averted their gaze with feigned indifference.
Raegan couldn't help but feel what a coincidence! Not wanting to share the elevator with Mitchel, Raegan slowed her pace.
Unfortunately for her, just as the doors were about to close, Mitchel held the door open with his hand and stared at her and
Gerda.
"Coming in?" As Raegan was about to say she would just wait for the next elevator, Gerda led her into the elevator.
Gerda then turned to Mitchel and thanked him with a smile.
Once the elevator doors closed, a deafening silence enveloped the space.
Mitchel said nothing, and so did everyone around him, making the atmosphere weird.
Gerda, still holding Raegan's hand, enthusiastically said, "Raegan, I hike you the moment I saw you.

You're so adorable.
You and Henley should marry soon and settle down.
I'm looking forward to the day Henley and you start a family and have some kids." Upon hearing this, Raegan felt sharp eyes
piercing through her back.
She managed a strained smile and replied, "Gerda, it's too early to think about that...” "Tunderstand you young people want to
spend more time together before the baby comes,” Gerda assured with a smile, "But don’t worry.
Once you give birth to the baby, I'll be there to help you take care of it.” Raegan's embarrassment deepened, and she could only
laugh awkwardly in response.

Ding.
Finally, the elevator reached their floor.
Raegan hurriedly guided Gerda out, anxious that Gerda's enthusiasm might lead to her saying more shocking words.
Raegan was quite uneasy, not only because of the unexpected encounter with Mitchel but also by Gerda's pointed questions
about marriage and children.
Although she struggled to respond, she managed to remain polite.

awkwardly. She could not help but feel that Gerda was rushing her toward marriage. No wonder Henley wanted her to pretend to be his girlfriend tonight.

soured her mood. Not only that, his insinuation that she was flattering herself was particularly hurtful. How ridiculous. It was ironic how her once unreserved love was worthless in his eyes. Thankfully, Raegan had freed herself from any more humiliation with the divorce. Once she calmed down, she fixed her hair in front of the mirror and applied some lip balm.

Mitchel seemed disinterested in her today, and he was never short of admirers.
She doubted he would go out of his way to trouble her.
At this moment, she put on a facade of composure and began to make her way back.
As she approached Mitchel, he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and, to her surprise, blocked her path.
Raegan stopped in her tracks, faced the wall, and waited for him to walk over.
But he stayed put and maintained his stance.

raced when she met his icy stare. Raegan tried, with all her might, to remain calm and composed. "Excuse me." "Where are you going?" Mitchel asked, which took her by surprise. After a brief pause, Raegan replied lightly, "That's none of your business." It was then that she realized Mitchel was not going to move an inch for her to pass by. Not wanting to create a scene with him, especially in public, she tried to squeeze past the narrow space. But as Raegan moved, Mitchel grabbed her thigh, nearly causing her to stumble. In a panic, she grabbed him for support. To her shock, Mitchel

Raegan caught her reflection on the glossy white porcelain wall. Her hair was disheveled, and she found herself tilting her head back involuntarily. On the other hand, Mitchel's
