After Nicole’s tragic end, Raegan found herself engulfed in a sense of despair. She couldn’t contain her impatience when confronting Mitchel.
“Mitchel, do you take me for a fool? If the child isn’t yours, why is she calling you? I have sent the divorce papers to your email.
Please check it and sign as soon as possible,” Raegan said steely.
Mitchel’s reaction was swift and irritable. His face contorted abruptly as he replied, “Raegan, I don’t want to hear about the divorce again!”
Raegan was perplexed. Why would Mitchel refuse to divorce her when Lauren was expecting his child? What was going through his mind? Was he planning to let her to take care of Lauren’s baby? The idea seemed ludicrous to her. Whenever Raegan thought about Lauren’s past actions, she wished she could take vengeance on Lauren. That was why she had no intention of raising Lauren’s child.
“Don’t push me too far, Mitchel! Are you suggesting I raise Lauren’s child? Fat chance! I wouldn’t even raise a cat or a dog with you, let alone the child of that woman!” She felt repulsed by Mitchel’s apparent idea.
“Of course not. I have never even considered it,” Mitchel replied, his frown deepening. “What’s wrong with you?”
Raegan’s thoughts were a whirlwind. Her heart ached whenever she thought of the loss of her unborn child. However, revealing the truth without evidence would be futile because Mitchel wouldn’t believe her.
Moreover, Mitchel had let Lauren frame her over the past few months.
The relationship between Mitchel and Lauren was complicated, so Raegan knew that changing Mitchel’s mind wouldn’t be easy. So, she had little hope that Mitchel would seek justice for her and the baby, especially against Lauren.
“Kyle is the father of Lauren’s child!” Looking at Raegan’s enraged expression, Mitchel blurted it out suddenly.
“What did you just say?” Raegan questioned, her eyes widening in disbelief. She never expected that. The revelation that Lauren and Kyle were involved shocked her.

“It’s Kyle’s child,” Mitchel confirmed.
Mitchel gently touched Raegan’s hair with his slender hand and continued, “That’s all I can reveal for now. Trust me, I’ll explain everything later.”
Revealing this information now was risky for Mitchel. Alexis had tried all means to seize control of the company these days. and Kyle held critical evidence against Alexis. Kyle had agreed to cooperate with Mitchel, but only if Lauren’s baby remained safe.

At that time, Kyle had been imprisoned for a crime. After the scene Alexis had made, Kyle contacted Mitchel and promised unconditional cooperation as long as Lauren’s baby was kept safe.
Mitchel had to create the impression that Lauren was carrying his child to ensure the baby’s safety from any harm Alexis might pose.
These complexities made Mitchel cautious about sharing too much with Raegan. If she could endure it for three months, Mitchel believed he could defeat Alexis.
Thinking of Nicole’s tragic end, Mitchel felt a twinge of unease.
Raegan was acting strangely, likely deeply saddened by Nicole’s death.
Just earlier at the graveyard, she cried so bitterly that she even expressed a desire to harm Jarrod.
Mitchel closely observed Raegan, his intuition telling him that something was amiss.
Staring at her intently, Mitchel asked hoarsely, “Raegan, you won’t leave me, right?”
Given a choice, Mitchel would prefer to keep Raegan close, perhaps even lock her up. Moreover, Raegan had been pushing for a divorce lately, adding to Mitchel’s concerns.
