Lauren speculated that Raegan had not told Mitchel she was pregnant because he would, for sure, despise the baby.
Even though she did not know why Mitchel was against the idea of having his own children, it was enough to prove he did not love Raegan.
“That’s because Mitchel told me he’d only have a child with me. He didn’t want to have a baby with you. He’s just waiting for me to give birth to our children,” Lauren said with a triumphant smile.
Upon hearing this, Raegan felt as if she had been hit by a ton of bricks.

So Mitchel’s refusal to have a child was because he would only become a father with the woman he truly loved.
Even though Raegan had been telling herself she was over Mitchel, Lauren’s words still stung.
“You really should face the reality sooner rather than later. Don’t think having a baby gives you any leverage. The bastard of a scheming bitch like you would only have…”
Before Lauren could finish her sentence, Raegan’s hand flew up.
Clap! She landed a solid slap across Lauren’s face.

“If you ever speak ill of me and my child again, I won’t hesitate to shut your mouth for good,” Raegan warned.
She could tolerate Lauren’s harsh words. But talking trash about her unborn child was a line nobody could cross, especially not Lauren.
Lauren was stunned by the slap. She had never been slapped before.
Raegan’s audacity sent her into a rage. How dare this bitch lay a finger on her!
“You bitch, I’ll fucking kill you! I should’ve finished you off at that party!”
Lauren, unhinged, swung her purse at Raegan’s face.
Raegan dodged, but the purse’s zipper grazed her cheek, causing a stinging pain.
The next second, Raegan seized Lauren’s wrist and gave her another slap to her face.
Raegan might not be the strongest, but she was more than a match for the pampered and frail Lauren.
With her eyes narrowed, Raegan declared, “Try setting me up again, and I swear I’ll never let you go.”
As she pondered the events of that fateful day, she could not shake the feeling that Lauren had something to do with it.
Maybe Lauren had found out about her pregnancy and plotted with Tessa to get rid of both her and the baby.
That being the case, showing weakness in front of Lauren would be like waving a red flag in front of a bull. It would just make Lauren think she was a pushover and embolden Lauren to strike again.
With tears streaming down her face from the stinging slap, Lauren feigned innocence.
“What are you even talking about? When have I ever set you up?”
