Chapter 353 Being Disillusioned At that moment, Mitchel went quiet.

He figured he could hold out for the next three days.

To Mitchel, it would be ideal if Katie had come to terms with his words. He certainly didn't want rumors flying about the Glyn and Dixon families not getting along. After all, several projects were underway and any rumors like that could lead to serious problems.

"I'll leave you to rest, then. I'm heading out now." Katie forced a smile, grabbed her bag, and made for the door.

“Hold on." Mitchel's voice stopped her in her tracks, deep and sudden.

"Yes?" Katie paused, curiosity lighting

up her eyes.

Mitchel, with a cool demeanor, pointed at the thermal pot at the bed's end.

"Take that with you." Katie's face lost color. She couldn't keep herself together any longer.

Slightly bowing her head, she started to cry. "Why? Why are you so cold to me?" Her hands balled into fists. Anger and hurt filled her heart. For the past five years, she had stood by his side without fail, offering her unwavering support.

In the end, Mitchel couldn't even bring himself to sip the soup she had prepared. She had spent time and effort making that nutritional soup.

Yet, he preferred the soup made by a nurse over hers.

Katie directed all her anger toward Raegan who had miraculously returned. What appeal did a widow like Raegan, who had a child with another man, hold? Why couldn't Mitchel shake Raegan off? To Katie, Raegan was just pretty with tricks to seduce men.

Katie's hands were balled into fists, her head bowed. Her sorrow was evident to anyone looking. But what they couldn't see was how her heart was twisted with hatred at the moment.

Mitchel, with a face showing no emotion, said, "Had I known your true feelings earlier, our families would never have entered into this partnership." Katie's face stiffened for a moment, and with tears streaming down her face, she replied, "Are you joking? Isn't

the deep bond between our families the foundation of our partnership?" She had always believed their families’ collaboration was a sign of Mitchel's willingness to meet halfway. This very collaboration was what made her hold on silently for five years, hoping for him.
