Chapter 382 You Hit Me for Him Raegan was taken aback, not expecting such a sudden question. For a brief moment, her thoughts were in chaos.

Her grip on Janey's clothes tightened involuntarily, her knuckles turning white from the pressure.

Mitchel observed Raegan closely, not even blinking. He found himself wishing, at that moment, that Raegan would simply say, "Yes, Janey is just my daughter." This would mean she didn't know about the mystery surrounding Janey's paternity, making him feel a bit better.

But Raegan's averted gaze and the involuntary tightening of her grip told him everything he needed to know.

She was aware of him being Janey's

biological father. Worse, she intended to keep this a secret from him Janey, still in Mitchell's arms, couldn't grasp what Mitchel and Raegan were talking about but sensed Mitchel being mean to her mommy. She began to cry out in distress, "Daddy Mitchel is a baddie... Let me go... Don't bully my mommy!" Crying, Janey hit Mitchel's chest with her small fists, repeating, "Baddie Daddy Mitchel, baddie daddy..." As upset children often did, Janey's chant of "baddie Daddy Mitchel" soon became "baddie daddy" through her sobs.

This made Raegan's heart beat faster.

In a rush, she reprimanded, "Janey, be polite!" How could Janey call Mitchel "Daddy Mitchel" or "baddie daddy"? Where did they even come from?

Janey, who initially wanted to stick up for Raegan, now felt wronged as Raegan was scolding her, driving her to seek comfort in Mitchel's arms instead.

Raegan felt at a loss. She didn't mean to scold Janey but reacted in the moment.

Mitchel let out a scoff as if the remark was amusing, barely hiding a smirk. "It seems you haven't realized who you're interfering with. Let me spell it out for you once again!" With a glare that revealed his barely contained anger, Mitchel declared each word, "She's my woman, and if you try to get close to her again, don't blame me for being rude."
