Eloise observed Raegan’s reddened cheek, then her own palm, and understood
the cause.
Attracted by the noise, Bryce confronted Eloise with a fury akin to a lion's,
“Eloise, have you lost your mind? How could you hit her like that?
Although Bryce bore no fondness for Raegan, he still defended Raegan.
After all, he was the one who brought Raegan here with him. If any reprimand
was aimed at Raegan, it should come from him, not others.
Eloise had intended to apologize to Raegan. She was frank but never malicious.
But as soon as she heard those questioning from Bryce who was younger than
her, she retorted immediately, “Why the outrage? It was unintentional.”
“Then offer her your apologies,” Bryce insisted.
Bryce's anger seemed to eclipse Eloise’s, and he looked poised to force an
apology by grabbing Eloise’s collar.
Terrified, Eloise sought refuge behind Mitchel, clutching at Mitchel's garment in
her anxiety.
Mitchel intercepted Bryce's hand with a scowl, his voice icy.
“Calm yourself. It was an accident.”
Bryce winced at the pain in his hand, incredulous.
“Mitchel, you're taking her side?”
“Yes, is that an issue?”
Mitchel's gaze grew frostier.
“Are we proceeding with our hike or not?”
Initially, Raegan didn’t mind at all, aware that Eloise didn’t do it on purpose.
However, witnessing Mitchel’s overt protection over Eloise shifted something
within her.
She knew the feeling of being defended was undeniably pleasant.
Eloise, grinning broadly, trotted behind Mitchel and taunted Bryce with a face.
