His stern expression made Raegan feel on edge and made her ball her hands
into fists.
Mitchel stopped a meter from her bed. For some reason, his angular features
were unusually cold and menacing.
He lifted his hand, and the ultrasound report unfurled before her.
“Fifteen weeks? Can you explain this?”
A wave of confusion washed over Raegan. She grabbed the ultrasound report,
and it indeed stated she had been fifteen weeks pregnant.
How could this be?

She was certain the baby was only ten weeks old. Why did the ultrasound
indicate fifteen weeks?
Well, her menstrual cycles had always been somewhat irregular. Could she have
miscalculated?
But even that did not add up.
Raegan thought back to when Mitchel had returned from his overseas trip. After a
month-long absence, they had been intimate twice on the porch, and he had
been rather persistent the rest of the night.
Seeing Raegan’s silence, the hopeful glimmer in Mitchel's eyes gradually faded,
replaced by sheer disappointment.
“Don't you have anything to say?”
Raegan only stared at the ultrasound report. Maybe she should run another test.
After all, hospitals made mistakes, too.
To Mitchel, however, her silence was guilt. At this realization, disappointment
shrouded his handsome face, and he scoffed.
“So that’s it, huh? No wonder you said it was your child.”
“It's not that...” Raegan subconsciously tried to explain.
Mitchel suddenly grabbed Raegan’s shoulder and roared, “Then explain
yourself!”
His fingers dug into her flesh, and Raegan feared her shoulders would be
crushed.
Raegan bit her lip and tried her best to contain her anger.
Mitchel’s erratic behavior was proof that there was no trust between them.
His request to Luciana to keep the pregnancy a secret from Kyler must be
because he did not believe her. He doubted it was his baby.
If he could not trust her, why should she offer any explanation?
Whatever she said, Mitchel would not believe it anyway.
Raegan’s round eyes turned misty as she looked at Mitchel defiantly.
