Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Your Wife With Another Man Raegan lowered her head.

With eyes glistening with tears, she spoke with a soft yet resolute voice.

"Even if Isay it ten times, my answer will remain the same.” Raegan and Mitchel
had faced numerous trials and the disapproval

of Mitchel's parents.

All these signs seemed to scream that Raegan's love for Mitchel was a lost
cause.

"Then there's no need to say it again.” Mitchel lowered his head, cradled her
face, and kissed away her tears with his lips.

"Don't say it again.

I can't bear to hear your refusal.” Raegan felt the urge to resist.

However, Mitchel held her so close that she felt he was trying to meld her into his
very being.

"I know you don't mean it.

But please, don't reject me this soon.

Promise me you'll think it over, okay?” Mitchel's hands, which were clasping her,
trembled slightly.

He was usually so proud, but he lowered his pride for the woman in front of him.
He felt diminished, humbled even, by his own actions.

A single word from Raegan could knock him down.

Once Mitchel was gone, Raegan opened the door and collapsed onto the
ground.

The tears she had been holding back now cascaded freely.

Despite her constant reminders to herself not to succumb to temptation, being
close to Mitchel stirred something deep within her.

Right now, she hated herself for her lack of resolve.

She was afraid of being shattered beyond repair after being deeply entangled
with him and falling for him once again.

The following day, Raegan went to the hospital to bring soup for Nicole.

Before going out, she carefully applied light makeup to hide the dark circles
under her eyes.

Upon arriving at the hospital ward's door, Raegan inadvertently caught the
doctor's words from inside.

"The decision of whether to keep or terminate the pregnancy lies solely with you.
I hope you consider it carefully." Raegan stood frozen in shock.

It was not until the doctor walked out that she entered.

At this moment, she met Nicole's gaze and asked in a voice tinged with disbelief,
“Nicole...

Are you pregnant?” Nicole's expression wavered, and she asked in surprise,
"You heard it?” Raegan nodded and took a seat.

"Whose child is it?” Nicole hesitated for a moment before saying a name.
"What?" Raegan exclaimed in utter shock.

"How could it be? How could you and Jarrod...” Nicole buried her face in her
hands and, with tearful eyes, looked up at Raegan.

"Raegan, will you look down on me?” Nicole had kept this secret bottled up for so
long, feeling no one to confide in or understand

her.

She felt engulfed in darkness and burdened by a weight too heavy to bear alone.
Deep down, she wished she had never met Jarrod.

Raegan wrapped Nicole in a tight embrace, her nose tingling.

"l won't judge you.

I know you wouldn't intentionally destroy someone else’s relationship.” After
being friends with Nicole for years, Raegan knew

Nicole all too well.

Raegan was certain Nicole would never intentionally meddle in another's
relationship, no matter how strong her feelings were

toward that person.

There was only one explanation. Jarrod had forced Nicole into this situation.
Nicole cried on Raegan's shoulder for a long time and recounted the events
following Jarrod's return. Nicole had always been the type to share joys but keep
her sorrows to herself. Even now, she omitted the worst of Jarrod's actions.

Yet, Raegan gritted her teeth in anger after hearing Nicole's revelation. "Jarrod is
such a bastard! How could he hurt two women Just like that?” Looking at Nicole,
now so frail that her cheeks had hollowed, Raegan felt a deep sorrow. "What are
you gonna do now?” Raegan asked gently. "If I say I want to keep the baby,
would you think poorly of me?" Nicole replied with a sob. At first, Nicole had
considered having an abortion without a second thought. However, after
consulting with her doctor, she learned that the chances of survival from the
stomach cancer surgery were a mere ten percent. Her condition had worsened
faster than typical cases. In other words, there was a 90% likelihood that she
wouldn't make it. Given these odds, the surgery seemed almost inconsequential.
If she chose traditional treatment, perhaps she could hold on until the baby was
viable for a cesarean section at seven and a half months. Nicole hoped to give
her parents lasting comfort and something of herself to hold onto. She wanted
this to help ease her parents’ sorrow and give them the strength to go on without
her. "No, the baby is innocent," Raegan reassured Nicole.

Nicole's pregnancy reminded Raegan of the baby she had lost, and a wave of
sadness surged within her again. After a moment of silence, Raegan asked, "Will
you tell Jarrod about the baby?" Nicole shook her head. "No, I can't let him
know." She feared that if Jarrod found out, he would insist on an abortion. After
leaving the ward, Raegan unexpectedly saw Mitchel in the corridor. Jarrod was
also admitted to this hospital, so it was likely that Mitchel had come to visit him.
Raegan'’s first reaction was to avoid him. She couldn't explain why, but meeting
Mitchel filled her with apprehension. Maybe she was tired of saying those
insincere words over and over again. Later that afternoon, after her classes,
Raegan met up with Henley. They had agreed to have dinner together at a nice
restaurant. Just as they were about to enter, a greasy-faced man approached
and patted Henley on the shoulder with a smirk. “Well, isn't this Mr.

Brooks, fresh from Wall Street.” Henley's expression turned grim.

He lowered his head and whispered to Raegan, "He's my former colleague.
Let's go.

Just ignore him.” However, the man wouldn't let the two of them go.

Back when he and Henley were in investment banking, Henley had always
outshone him.

And now, he would not let this chance to mock Henley slip away.

He blocked their path and jeered, "Having dinner with your girlfriend, huh?”
Raegan was about to retort when she noticed the

man's leering look turning toward her.

"Little beauty, did you know he was fired from his company for breaking the
rules? Being fired by his former company means he's trash. No investment bank
in the country will hire him again. You won't have a future with him. You'd be
better off with someone like me.” The man’s words made Henley's usually calm
demeanor turn cold. At this moment, he protectively pulled Raegan behind him
and addressed the man, "Aldo, watch your language and stop bothering my
friend.” "How can you be so sure she prefers you? You don't even have a decent
job,” Aldo retorted with a sneer. He turned to Raegan and said, "Hey, beauty,
come with me. I'll treat you to a life of luxury, unlimited credit cards, anything you
want.” Henley didn't even spare him a glance and pulled Raegan along. "Don't
mind him. Let's go.” Despite Henley's outward calm, Raegan could feel the
tension in his grasp. She was aware of why he was fired, and it was unjust.

Not only did he have to endure false accusations, but he now had to tolerate
derogatory remarks from a scum like Aldo. At the thought of this, she paused and
addressed the man, "You're Aldo, right?” "Yes!" Aldo grinned from ear to ear. "So,
pretty lady, have you come to your senses? Come with me.” Raegan looked at
his outstretched hand with apparent disgust and calmly retorted, "Having
manners is a good thing. Maybe bring some along next time you go out.” Aldo
was momentarily stunned and then realized Raegan was insulting him. The next
second, his face reddened with anger. "Who are you calling uncivilized?” Raegan
rolled her eyes at him. "Whoever keeps going on and on here, that's who.” Aldo
pointed an accusing finger at Raegan and snapped, "You bit...

Who do you think you are to look down on me? I'm way better than this loser
you're with.” He had intended to use more offensive language.

But since they were at a classy restaurant, he bit back the rest of his tirade and
endured Raegan's insults.

"Aldo, you've got it all wrong.

It's not that I look down on you.

I simply don't care about you at all." Raegan offered him a sardonic smile.

"And another piece of advice.

Ease up on the perfume.

It's too much.

No amount of fragrance can mask the stench of being a scum.” Raegan'’s words,
though politely phrased and free of curses, left

Aldo seething and stomping his feet in anger.

Without waiting for his response, Raegan gracefully walked into the restaurant,
giving no chance for Aldo to react.

Henley, on the other hand, remained where he was and watched Raegan's
retreating figure, seemingly lost in thought.

Aldo tried to regain his composure and let out a chuckle.

"Well, well, I didn't expect that pretty lady to be so feisty.” Henley looked back
and cast a cold, piercing look at Aldo.

The intensity of his gaze instantly silenced Aldo.

Once they were seated, Henley handed Raegan the translation materials and
expressed his gratitude.

"Raegan, thank you for standing up for me back there.” "Henley, we're friends."
Raegan brushed it off as no big deal.

She lifted the materials in her hand and added, "You've helped me too." Henley
studied her with an intense, yet inexplicable

gaze.

Having worn a mask for so long, taking care of others had become second
nature to him.

This was the first time someone had jumped to his defense.

Moreover, she didn't even think it was anything special.

The nonchalance in the tone of her voice moved him.

At this moment, Henley had made up his mind.

The idea of having Raegan by his side did not seem so bad after all.

As someone who had dwelled in darkness for too long, the warmth Raegan
exuded was irresistible for Henley, and it stirred a

deep desire to grasp and maintain that warmth.

Henley casually picked up a dessert with a serving spoon and offered it to
Raegan.

"I remember you mentioning plans to go to Swynborough to further your studies,
but you had to postpone, right?" Raegan merely

nodded in response.

"Well, we're heading to the same place.

I'll be working there next month.

Would you like to come with me? I'll give you a tour.” This was the second time
Henley had mentioned going abroad, offering to

keep Raegan company.

Raegan took a moment to consider and then responded, “If I decide to go
abroad, I'd like to challenge myself and live on my

own." Her words were a polite decline.

Although Henley was an excellent man, she preferred not to lean too heavily on
him.

Henley just smiled and didn't say anything further.

At this time, from Luis’ vantage point on the second floor, he spotted Henley and
Raegan below.

He quickly took out his phone, captured a few photos, and sent them to Mitchel.
He even mischievously added an emoji and typed a message, saying, "Your wife
is with another man.” Despite seeing multiple

"typing" indicators on WhatsApp, Mitchel sent no reply.

Sensible as he was, Luis sent over the location details.

A few moments later, he peered downstairs again.
