Chapter 433 Wanting To Give It A Try

Hearing Raegan's reply, Mitchel went silent.

Raegan was puzzled by Mitchel's unusual silence tonight. Right when she was about to inquire further, she heard a soft cough. It sounded like Austin was the one coughing.

Startled, Raegan quickly covered the mouthpiece and whispered softly, "I'm going to bed. Let's talk tomorrow."

With that, Raegan ended the call.

"Beep..."

Mitchel let out a self-mocking smile. The busy tone, playing a mocking melody, seemingly laughed at him. His turmoil inside went beyond words.

Mitchel regretted wrapping up the meeting earlier than scheduled all because he was in a hurry to get back to Ardlens. He felt he shouldn't frantically search for Raegan after failing to reach her by phone. He regretted rushing to Ashfield upon discovering her location.

Just a short while ago, Mitchel was reassuring himself. He told himself repeatedly that Raegan and Stefan were probably just sorting out some issue, which was why they ended up at the hotel together.

When Mitchel saw Stefan enter with a bag of medicine, his first thought was whether Raegan was sick.

Mitchel had a strong urge to barge in, yet he decided to stay put in the car, waiting on Raegan's call. He was doing everything in his power to avoid doing anything Raegan might loathe.

Just before Raegan called, Mitchel was reminding himself, "As long as she says she's with Stefan, I have to trust her. I can't let myself get irrationally jealous and upset her."

But Raegan didn't mention Stefan. Instead, she mentioned it was someone he didn't know. So, Raegan lied to her again.

Mitchel felt his grip on his phone tighten and then relax. "Just head back," he instructed.

Matteo, caught off guard, stuttered, "Mr. Dixon, are you sure?" Matteo hadn't caught what Raegan said, so he was a bit confused. After all, Mitchel had been non-stop all day, rushing back to Ardlens from Berton after wrapping up his meetings. Upon discovering Raegan's location, he rushed from Ardlens to Ashfield. All that effort was to see Raegan. The sudden decision to return without laying eyes on Raegan baffled Matteo.

"Yeah." The heavy, disheartened reply came from Mitchel. Matteo, sensing his foul mood, didn't press further and swiftly got the car moving.

Back in Ardlens, Mitchel stepped out of the car, silent.

Matteo, pulling a large box from the trunk, questioned, "Mr. Dixon, do you want me to bring this upstairs for you?"

The box was filled with fresh seafood Mitchel had picked out himself, having cleared out the seafood market.

Mitchel had looked forward to a joyful dinner with Raegan, who had completely forgotten about.
