Raegan was equally surprised. It didn’t take long for her to recall Mitchel’s comforting words about visiting the amusement park with Janey.
Ever a naive girl, Janey didn’t realize the reason Mitchel had said so at that time mainly to comfort her, given Mitchel’s tight schedule.
This put Raegan in a tough spot. She assumed Mitchel might not be available, given he was the CEO of the Dixon Group.
Moreover, Raegan felt uncomfortable at the thought of going to the amusement park with her ex-husband.
With these thoughts in mind, Raegan approached Janey, wanting to negotiate with her.
“Janey, how about going to the amusement park just with mommy today?”

Raegan suggested gently.
At these words, the excited gleam in Janey’s eyes vanished. Unlike other children, Janey was quite sensitive. She assumed Mitchel no longer wanted to accompany her to the amusement park. Trying to hold back her tears, she pursed her lips and gave a sulky nod. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to go with Raegan, but she was upset because Mitchel had promised to join them. How could he just break his promise?
Janey’s disappointment was evident. She took off the cloak she had chosen and retreated to a corner, clutching her toy rabbit.
Soon, Annis found Janey sobbing quietly.
Raegan, seeing this, felt a pang of guilt. Understanding Janey’s sensitivity, she knew why the little girl was so upset.
Annis, unable to see Janey like this, suggested, “Why not call Mr. Dixon and check if he’s available?”
Raegan had no option but to dial Mitchel’s number anyway.
The phone rang for a long time without being picked up. Raegan almost gave up, but the image of Janey’s disappointed face prompted her to try again.
This time, the call connected after a few rings.
Raegan felt a surge of nervousness as she began to speak. “Hey, I’m calling to ask if you’re free…”
Before she could finish, a woman’s voice interrupted from the other end of the line. “I’m sorry, but Mitchel is currently in a meeting,” the voice on the other end informed her.
Raegan was momentarily taken aback. Then the woman inquired, “Is this Raegan Foster?”

Raegan confirmed her identity, and the woman introduced herself, “It’s Katie. We met the other day.”
Raegan recalled the name but had little interest in prolonging the conversation with Katie. She responded politely but briefly, “Well, if he’s not available, that’s all I needed to know. Bye!”
However, Katie seemed keen on continuing the conversation. She said with a chuckle, “Raegan, I recall you mentioning you had no feelings for Mitchel last time. If that’s the case, perhaps you should ask other men to handle your personal matters. Don’t you think? After all, it’s not quite appropriate to keep disturbing someone else’s fiancé, right?”
Raegan could feel Katie’s arrogance even through the phone.
Katie made it seem like Raegan was having an affair with Mitchel.
Right then, Raegan was on the brink of losing her cool and almost hung up. Was Katie actually in a relationship with Mitchel? This question lingered in her mind. If Katie’s words were true, then what was Mitchel’s intention when he pursued her recently? Who did he take her for? What a jerk! Scumbag! Asshole!
