Jocelyn hastened to explain for herself, “Mr. Dixon, I tried to convince Miss
Murray not...”
But before she could finish her words, Lauren interrupted, “Mitchel, don’t blame
Jocelyn. It's not her fault. Every year, we always celebrate my birthday together,
right?”
After saying this, Lauren timidly glanced behind Mitchel.
Mitchel turned around, following her gaze. Then he saw Raegan standing behind
him quietly.
He had the urge to explain to Raegan what Lauren had said, but he couldn't find
the right words to say. After all, he knew very well that Lauren was right. Indeed,
he had promised to spare a part of his day to celebrate Lauren's birthday with
her.
Raegan looked at Lauren's timid expression calmly. She wanted to laugh out
loud.
Judging from the look on Lauren's face, it was as if she was bullied.
Unfortunately, in Raegan’s eyes, her performance fell flat.
Of course, Lauren was not the only one capable of displeasing people by putting
on an act. Raegan also had her own ways of doing it.
Approaching Mitchel gracefully, Raegan extended her hand and delicately
intertwined her fingers with his, gazing up at him.
“I thought we were going home.”

Raegan’s voice was soft. She was like a gentle and sweet kitten.
The expression on Lauren's face instantly changed upon hearing this.
She instinctively turned her gaze to Mitchel.
Mitchel’s gaze became meaningful. Obviously, he liked it when Raegan talked
this way.
Panic surged in Lauren's heart. She thought Raegan was seducing Mitchel. If
she could, she wanted to tear Raegan apart right now.
However, she couldn't lose her temper in front of Mitchel. So, she had to get a
grip. She tried her best to put on a pitiful look and said softly, “Mitchel, you will
celebrate my birthday with me, right?”
Lauren didn’t need to remind Mitchel what her birthday meant to him.
She was confident that he would celebrate her birthday with her.
“Lauren, since it’s your birthday today, you can tell Kyle anything you want. He
will be at your service twenty-four hours a day.”
“Mitchel, what do you mean by that?” Lauren asked, looking at Mitchel in
disbelief. She thought she had misheard him. Her face turned extremely
unpleasant.
“Mitchel, you're joking, right?”
Mitchel replied, “Lauren, I'm not joking. Wait for Kyle in the car.”
“No, I don’t want to!” Lauren suddenly shouted, shaking her head vigorously.
