Afraid Of Him Seeing Mitchel's change in attitude, Alexis’ demeanor softened, and he earnestly said.
"You're my only son.
Everything I do, I do for the Dixon family, especially exploring the market." "Sure," Mitchel responded absentmindedly.
Alexis looked at his son, who was taller and more handsome than himself, and felt a sense of pride.
He reached out to pat Mitchel's back, but the latter deftly sidestepped the gesture.
Annoyed by Alexis’ duplicity, Mitchel coldly said, "If you have no other important business, don't bother coming here.” Alexis felt a
sting at those words.
This place was his home, too.
Why should he be barred from it? In his eyes, Mitchel was influenced too much by Luciana and Kyler that he had no qualms in
disrespecting his father.
But since Mitchel had agreed to attend the blind date, Alexis decided to let it go.
"Fine. | won't be here unless necessary." Alexis was busy with negotiations with the Benton family for a collaboration in the
foreign market.
If things went well, he might regain the control of the Dixon Group.
When that time came, Mitchel would have to fall in line, especially considering his connection to Raegan.
Alexis vowed to himself to only support those who obeyed him.
The next morning, Raegan started to clean Nicole's apartment.
Nicole had not come back the previous night.
Well, the truth was, Nicole rarely lived in this place.
Nicole had once half-jokingly told Raegan that this apartment was her last remaining asset, and if she ever needed to flee, she
would sell it for quick cash.

Therefore, she welcomed Raegan to move in.
Raegan knew this was Nicole’s way of helping her.
Since Nicole was against the idea of Raegan staying elsewhere, Raegan insisted on paying market-rate rent, asserting if Nicole
refused to take the money, she would find another place.
Eventually, Nicole relented.
She agreed to accept half the rent and share the house with Raegan.

Raegan was in the process of selling her own apartment.
Two clients had shown interest, but their offers had not met her expectations.
Though eager to sell it out, Raegan didn't want to sell her dream home at a low price.
After all, she had chosen the location carefully and believed it deserved a fair value.
That afternoon, Henley asked Raegan out, saying he would like to ask her a favor.
So, Raegan decided to go out early and pay a visit to Kyler in the hospital before meeting Henley.
Kyler's condition had been deteriorating, resulting in a prolonged hospital stay.

Raegan quickly racked her brain to come up with an excuse. "He’s swamped with work these days.” The truth was, she had intentionally chosen a time when Mitchel would be at the office to avoid any awkward encounters. After chatting with Kyler, Raegan cautiously broached a sensitive topic. "Would you be upset if Mitchel and I ever broke up?” Kyler frowned. "Has that brat been giving you a hard time?" "No, no. I was just curlous about your reaction.” Raegan had been contemplating how to

avoid any unnecessary involvement with Mitchel, she preferred to tell Kyler sooner rather than later. Kyler might be upset at first, but Raegan was confident he would eventually understand her decision. However, she decided against telling him about her miscarriage, fearing it would be too much for him to bear, especially in his current state. For now, she needed to come up with a more suitable explanation for the divorce. "Don't be impulsive. If you and Mitchel have any misunderstandings, you should address them quickly. You don't want to live with regret.” Raegan found herself at a loss for words. Sensing that there was something on her mind, Kyler continued, "Raegan, I can handle more than you think. If something's bothering you, tell me. I'll manage to help you.” Tears welled up in Raegan’s eyes. She gently placed her face against the back of his hand and assured

My only wish is for you to live a long, peaceful, and happy life.” Kyler smiled warmly.
"Everyone has regrets in their lives.
Don't underestimate me.
I'm much stronger than you think.” Raegan sensed that Kyler might already know about her divorce or at least suspect
something was amiss.
She and Mitchel had not visited him together for quite some time, which could have raised his suspicions.
With this in mind, Raegan began to reassure him, "I..." Before she could complete her sentence, the door to the ward swung
open, revealing Mitchel.

work. Dressed impeccably in a suit, complete with a silver brooch and a rosy tie, he exuded the charm often used to describe rising talents. While Raegan was still wondering why he showed up at this time, Mitchel walked over to her, grabbed her shoulders, and pulled her into his arms. "Why didn't you wait for me?” he casually asked, as if they were still the picture-perfect

he was gentle and tender. His charm could sweep anyone
