Youd better not have, Raegan interrupted him, not wanting to argue more, throwing his own warning back at him.
This confrontation hit Mitchel deeply. He tightened his hand into a fist until his knuckles turned white.
Raegan didnt Linger to observe his reaction. She simply felt a tightness in her chest. It was no mere suspicion. Mitchels behavior suggested he might be preparing for a custody battle. She said he could visit their children, but she never said yes to him taking the children away.
Without saying another word, Raegan turned and left, with Stefan behind her. Glancing back, Stefan noticed Mitchel kneeling to gather the fallen pieces of ice cream, carefully wrapping them in a handkerchief.
Even when a bodyguard offered assistance, Mitchel declined. He stayed kneeling, gazing at the dropped ice cream, lost in his thoughts for quite a while.

Stefan drove quietly, allowing her some space to settle her thoughts.
After some time, Raegan broke the silence, asking, Stefan, do you think he wants to take away my children?

I dont believe hes trying to take the children away from you,
Stefan clarified.
Yet, Raegan was not persuaded. Hes been haunting me like a ghost these past days, always showing up, especially now that my due date is near. If not to take the children, what else could his intentions be?
Stefan hesitated, wondering if it was wise to speak his mind.
But he feared that Raegan might get anxious again, so he whispered, He Likely cares about you.
Care? Raegan appeared confused. Wasnt Mitchel involved with someone else now? That seemed unfair to Eloise
Raegan wasnt trying to sympathize with Eloise. She felt strongly that a man in a relationship should maintain certain standards.
Whether casually dating or seriously involved, Mitchel shouldnt interfere in another womans life during that period.
Raegan remained silent, and so did Stefan.
