Mitchel tightened his grip on Raegan’s shoulder and said through gritted teeth,
“You can't say that.”
The impact of their divorce on Mitchel was unexpected to Raegan.
Admittedly, Raegan had not fully moved on from him. When she lost her unborn
child, her resentment toward Mitchel intensified.
Her hatred for Mitchel was her coping mechanism to alleviate her pain.
But she realized it was time to let go. The first step to living a good life was to let
go of the miserable past.
Raegan brushed off his hand, straightened up, and said with a neutral
expression, “Mitchel, I don’t care what's on your mind. I'm starting a new life,
anyway. Ideally, exes should wish each other well in their future marriages. If you
can’t do that, I won't force you. But please, stay out of my life.”
New life? Marriage? Staying out of her life?
Mitchel looked up, and his expression turned icy.
“Are you planning to marry someone else?”
Raegan met his gaze and pondered over his question.
What was wrong with her statement? Did he expect her to stay single forever?
One relationship with a wrong guy like him did not mean she despised all men.
Having lost her family, she longed to build one of her own.

But she was not in a rush to get into a relationship right now. Even if she did
meet one great man someday, she would be cautious and not blinded by love.
However, these were not her immediate concerns. Her focus was on bettering
herself.
“I'm only 22,” Raegan said frankly.
“Even if I'm not marrying now, I will in the future.”
Mitchel’s hand tensed, and blue veins stood out on the back of it.
Moreover, his heart twisted in pain. How he wished he could lock her up, so she
would not be able to leave him.
How could he let her marry someone else and then expect him to give the damn
blessing?
“Try it then,” he challenged with a cold expression.
Raegan met his gaze and forcefully pushed him away while stepping out of the
elevator.
Mitchel’s handsome face grew darker as he watched her leave.
“Raegan, you will come back to my side,” he declared with the same certainty
Raegan had used when asking for a divorce.
