Milky fish soup spilled out, its steam rising in the air.
With his back to Nicole’s ward, Jarrod’s gaze deepened, his eyes burning with a wild, untamed fierceness…
After leaving the hospital, Raegan threw herself into her work, trying to distract herself from the whirlwind of thoughts swirling in her head. She wanted to avoid making any mistakes while her memories were fuzzy.
Raegan picked up every call from Mitchel, but her replies were brief and to the point. Swamped with work, tied down, hanging out with friends… She caught herself using these insincere excuses for two days straight.
Raegan began to feel like she was betraying him. A wave of guilt washed over her…
On the third day, Mitchel stopped calling, simmering with irritation.
But by the afternoon, his patience ran thin, and he sent her a text.
“WiLL you come today?”
After sending the message, Mitchel remembered an article Luis had shared with him the day before. It suggested that women appreciated sweet words and advised men not to shy away from showing affection for the desired one.
Pausing briefly, Mitchel sent another message, just three words this time. After hitting send, Mitchel’s heart raced. He felt like a lovesick teenager, eagerly waiting for a message back from the one he adored.
Mitchel kept his eyes glued to his phone for a long while, but a reply from Raegan never arrived.
Mitchel felt a growing sense of disappointment and irritation. For three days straight, his expectations had been let down. It was becoming clear that Raegan’s promises were empty.
He regretted believing her, letting her walk away without a second thought the other day. Once she was gone, she didn’t come back.
The more Mitchel dwelled on it, the angrier he got, until he couldn’t resist calling Raegan.
Raegan picked up quickly this time.

ings?”
“Hello?” The cheerful male voice on the other end was not who Mitchel expected.
“Who’s this?” Mitchel’s annoyance was evident in his voice.
“I’m Judd, Miss Foster’s assistant.”
Raegan had hired a man as her assistant? Trying to keep his cool, Mitchel said, “Let me talk to her.”
“Do you want to leave a message? I’ll make sure she gets it.”
Judd’s hesitation only made Mitchel more frustrated. Mitchel’s face turned sour. “Tell her to answer the call. I need to talk to her.”
Judd refused, “Sorry, she’s tied up right now.”
Mitchel was at a loss for words. Fuming, he wondered how Raegan managed to hire such a stubborn assistant. Was the assistant’s only purpose to irritate him?
