“Miss Glyn, take care. I won’t walk you out.” Raegan smiled before turning around.
Katie looked at Raegan sharply. “Why do you think Mitchel won’t marry me? What makes you so sure?”
From Katie’s perspective, Mitchel had no other choice.
Raegan, on her way to the door, stopped and offered a chuckle. “My confidence comes from him. He told me to trust him.”
Mitchel had asked Raegan to have confidence in him.
Raegan, who wasn’t well-versed in business matters, could see through Henley’s schemes. Surely, Mitchel had known about it and made preparations beforehand. All Raegan had to do was trust his judgment.
Watching Raegan leave, Katie stamped her foot in frustration and called Luciana to vent.
Luciana comforted her, “Katie, in my eyes, you’re already my daughter-in-law. Don’t worry. I’ll talk to Mitchel.”
Feeling a bit better, Katie said, “Thanks, Luciana.”
“Why thank me? You’re carrying Mitchel’s baby. If Mitchel dares to deny you, he’ll have me to answer to!” Luciana said, seemingly on Katie’s side.
Katie felt reassured by Luciana’s growing support, hanging on to every word, and silently thanked the fortune-teller she had arranged for this turnaround.
Luciana went on, “But Katie, Mitchel has always denied being the father of your baby. When did you two become involved? Can you tell me about it?”
Katie was taken aback for a moment, lapsing into silence.
Luciana said earnestly, “Katie, I do trust you without any doubts, but Mitchel is adamant that nothing happened between you two. He insists he’s not involved with you at all. It’s quite perplexing. I’m struggling to understand who’s mistaken here…”
“Luciana, I swear I haven’t lied to you!” Katie added emphatically, “This child is Mitchel’s, without a doubt!”
The conversation reached an impasse as Luciana pondered aloud, “With both of you so firm in your stances, I want to support you, but I’m at a loss without even knowing how far along you are…”

“I’m three and a half months pregnant!” Katie let slip before she could stop herself and instantly regretted revealing this so soon.
She had intended to keep this under wraps a bit Longer.
To Katie’s relief, Luciana reacted positively. “Katie, I knew you wouldn’t deceive me. You’ve always been trustworthy. You have my full backing!”
Feeling a wave of relief, Katie voiced a plea, “Luciana, please keep the month of my pregnancy between us for now. I’m concerned Mitchel might press for drastic measures if he finds out too soon.”
“You have my word. I won’t bring it up,” Luciana reassured Katie, her voice firm with conviction. “Mitchel wouldn’t dare. If he tries anything, I’ll stand against him!”
Katie responded with a thankful smile, “Thank you, Luciana.”
Katie then switched topics, showing concern for Luciana’s wellbeing.
“How’s your migraine been? You might be running low on medication. Shall I bring you some more?”
