Love Unbreakable

Chapter 472

Raegan had just heard the words when she quickly put her hand over Janey's mouth and hurriedly left.

It wasn't until Raegan and Janey were safely inside the car that Janey, still puzzled, turned to Raegan with a question. "Mommy, didn't you tell me I'm daddy's only child? Why did that lady say she has daddy's child?"

Raegan found herself at a loss for words. She was waiting for Mitchel to shed some light on this, yet she wanted to keep Janey out of it.

"Let me ask your daddy about it first, and then I'll explain, okay?" Raegan decided on honesty, considering Janey's age and sensitivity. Raegan didn't want Janey to feel disheartened when discovering being kept in the dark.

"Alright, but please talk calmly with my daddy. Don't fight, okay?" Janey advised like a little adult.

"I promise I'll talk to your daddy calmly, Raegan reassured Janey, making plans to send Janey home with Victor and stay behind.

Raegan felt the need to confront Mitchel directly and find out the truth about Katie's pregnancy with his child.

Her mind felt like it was a battlefield with countless little soldiers at war.

They had just made up not too long ago, and they were still on shaky ground emotionally. Then, this bombshell dropped. She was at a loss for what to do next. If what Katie had spilled was the truth, how was she supposed to react?

Even if it was by accident, the idea of Mitchel having a child with another woman was a tough pill to swallow. Raegan's heart was a mess, swirling with discomfort and uncertainty.

Eventually, Mitchel finally called. When he found out Raegan was still in the parking lot, he quickly made his way down. As Mitchel opened the car door, his surprise was evident upon seeing only Raegan inside. "Where's Janey?" he asked. "I sent her home," Raegan replied simply.

Mitchel tried to keep the atmosphere light, playfully messing up Raegan's hair as he apologized, "Sorry, the meeting went over its scheduled time."

His words made Raegan feel a chill in her heart. He had hidden it from her! If she hadn't overheard Katie's words by chance, was he ever planning to tell her?

"Did your meeting really go on for that long?" Raegan probed.

Mitchel hesitated before responding in a softer tone, "I'm sorry you had to wait. It's my fault."

His apology, however, only added to the chill spreading through Raegan. He dodged her question, which made her wonder whether he intended to come clean.

Suddenly, Raegan felt all her questions were pointless. Mitchel had chosen to keep it hidden. Why would he tell her? Her head throbbed, her heart turned cold. She kept silent. Yet, she remembered her promise to Janey, to ask Mitchel gently.

With clear, earnest eyes, Raegan inquired, "Mitchel, are you keeping something from me?"

Mitchel stayed cool, replying, "What do you wish to know? I'm an open book." He dodged the question, not owning up to any secrets.

Right then, Mitchel's phone rang, a call from Matteo.

Mitchel picked up, his expression changing with the conversation. He uttered a few "Alright and promised to deal with it.

After hanging up, Mitchel offered an apology, Raegan, there's something I need to sort out. Maybe head back first? If it gets late, I might not make it over. Could you apologize to Janey for me?

Raegan felt a deeper chill, a cold that enveloped her entirely. Probing further seemed futile. It would just leave her more humiliated.

Mitchel wrapped his arms around Raegan in a tight hug before he had to go. His voice, still captivating, whispered, "Raegan, I miss you..."

Raegan's face turned blank and cold as she accepted his hug.

Before he left, Mitchel softly kissed her forehead.

Raegan's car pulled away, and Mitchel's figure became smaller and smaller in the distance.

Raegan couldn't stop her tears from falling. Were all their shared moments, those intense life-or-death situations, just an act? If he didn't love her, why did he go out of his way to save her? If he did love her, why did he deceive her after they both acknowledged their feelings?

Once home, Raegan turned her phone off and went straight to bed.

Seeing Raegan needed space, Janey was exceptionally considerate and didn't intrude. She followed Annis's advice, cleaned up, and went to bed herself.

Raegan didn't wake up until the afternoon of the next day.

Upon waking, Raegan worried the studio might be trying to reach her, so she turned her phone back on. Elin sent a message saying everything at the studio was being organized smoothly and advised her not to worry but to rest well.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Yet, Mitchel hadn't sent a single message the whole night. Raegan wasn't naive. The silence spoke volumes. With a forced smile, she thought, maybe this was just how things were going to be.

Raegan got ready and headed to the studio. Work was the one thing she felt she had control over.

The studio was bustling from the moment she arrived, leaving her no room to dwell on personal matters.

As evening fell, Elin suggested they talk about work over dinner. They chose a mall close to the studio for dinner.

While eating, Elin got a call related to work and had to leave early.

After her meal, Raegan decided to pick up a gift for Janey and made her way to the baby store on the first floor.

Entering the store, a staff member blocked Raegan's path, apologizing, "I'm sorry, miss, but we're not assisting customers right now."

Confused, Raegan asked, "Aren't you open?

The employee explained, "We're currently attending to a VIP customer and ask for your understanding."

Sometimes, malls would shut their doors to the public to cater exclusively to a VIP shopper.

Raegan was aware of this practice and was on her way out when she heard someone call her name. "Raegan!"

Raegan looked over, her expression immediately turning frosty.

Katie emerged from the store, leaning on Luciana for support. "Raegan, are you here to shop at the baby store, too? Whose clothes are you buying?"

Katie was aware that Raegan had been away for five years, during which she got married and had a child.

Katie posed the question with a clear intention.

Raegan glanced at Katie's stomach, noting it was only slightly pronounced, suggesting about three months into the pregnancy.

Yet, Katie seemed to accentuate it to appear further along.

Preferring to avoid further interaction, Raegan turned to leave, but Katie wasn't about to let her go easily.

Katie reached out, grabbing Raegan's arm, and greeted her with a smile, "Raegan, it's been so long."

Raegan briskly pulled her arm away, her tone icy. "I don't think we're that close, are we?"

Taken aback by Raegan's blunt dismissal, Katie lost her footing slightly.

Luciana immediately snapped, "Are you blind? Don't you dare hurt Katie, or you'll regret it!"

Luciana was still fuming at Raegan because of their last encounter in Mitchel's ward. She didn't expect Raegan to go back to his son and even had connections with that bastard. She deemed Raegan as manipulative.

Raegan's face turned stone-cold. She retorted, 'Mrs. Dixon, let's be clear, who started this?"

Luciana ignored Raegan and, boiling with rage, barked, "Katie was just being polite, and you repay her with harm?"

Raegan was at a loss for words. No wonder Mitchel had warned her about Luciana. Luciana really seemed to be battling her own imagined threats.

Just then, Katie stepped up, trying to play the bigger person. "It's okay, Luciana. I'm not hurt."

Katie's tone when she called Luciana had shifted, annoying Raegan enough to walk away.

But Katie wasn't about to let Raegan leave that easily. She stepped in front of Raegan, showcasing her pregnant belly. and announced, "Raegan, I'm pregnant!"

Raegan almost burst out laughing. So Katie thought she hadn't noticed... With a smile, she responded, "Congratulations, Miss Glyn. But are you married? I haven't heard anything."

Katie's complexion went ashen at the remark.
