Chapter 472 Raegan had just heard the words when she quickly put her hand over Janey's mouth and hurriedly left.

It wasn't until Raegan and Janey were safely inside the car that Janey, still puzzled, turned to Raegan with a question.

"Mommy, didn't you tell me I'm daddy's only child? Why did that lady say she has daddy's child?" Raegan found herself at a loss for words. She was waiting for Mitchel to shed some light on this, yet she wanted to keep Janey out of it.

"Let me ask your daddy about it first, and then I'll explain, okay?" Raegan decided on honesty, considering Janey's age and sensitivity. Raegan didn't want Janey to feel disheartened when discovering being kept in the dark.

"Alright, but please talk calmly with my daddy. Don't fight, okay?" Janey advised like a little adult.

"I promise I'll talk to your daddy calmly, Raegan reassured Janey, making plans to send Janey home with Victor and stay behind.

Raegan felt the need to confront Mitchel directly and find out the truth about Katie's pregnancy with his child.

Her mind felt like it was a battlefield with countless little soldiers at war.

They had just made up not too long ago, and they were still on shaky ground emotionally. Then, this bombshell dropped. She was at a loss for what to do next. If what Katie had spilled was the truth, how was she supposed to react? Even if it was by accident, the idea of Mitchel having a child with another woman was a tough pill to swallow.

Raegan's heart was a mess, swirling with discomfort and uncertainty.

Eventually, Mitchel finally called. When he found out Raegan was still in the parking lot, he quickly made his way down. As Mitchel opened the car door, his surprise was evident upon seeing only Raegan inside. "Where's Janey?" he asked. "I sent her home," Raegan replied simply.

Mitchel tried to keep the atmosphere light, playfully messing up Raegan's hair as he apologized, "Sorry, the meeting went over its scheduled time." His words made Raegan feel a chill in her heart. He had hidden it from her! If she hadn't overheard Katie's words by chance, was he ever planning to tell her? "Did your meeting really go on for that long?" Raegan probed.

Mitchel hesitated before responding in a softer tone, "I'm sorry you had to wait. It's my fault." His apology, however, only added to the chill spreading through Raegan. He dodged her question, which made her wonder whether he intended to come clean.

Suddenly, Raegan felt all her questions were pointless.
