Mitchel walked back. He bent over and picked up his car key from the table. He had buttoned up his shirt and his face was cold and noble now.
He looked at Raegan and parted his lips, but he closed them on second thought.
At last, he said, “Dinner is on the table. Eat it and then go to bed early.”
His lips were cold but plump from all the ki*sing.
“Don’t go, Mitchel…”
As soon as Mitchel spun around, Raegan jumped up and hugged him from behind. Her voice trembled.
She couldn’t look him in the eye for fear that she wouldn’t have the guts to air her feelings.
She wanted to tell him to stay with her instead of rushing over to Lauren whenever Lauren called.
But the words got stuck in her throat.
Despite knowing that she was throwing herself at him cheaply, Raegan was willing to have a try for the sake of her baby.
She was trying to stay afloat before the waves swept her away.
Raegan promised herself to ask him to stay just this once.
The silence that fell over them was so suffocating.
The clock ticked as they remained in that position.
Suddenly, Mitchel’s phone vibrated again.

It annoyingly rang off the hook.
“Drop it, Raegan.”
Mitchel finally broke the silence. Without looking at her, he broke off her grip bit by bit. Raegan’s heart shattered again.
“Lauren is not doing well. I have to go check on her.”
With that, Mitchel walked out the door.
It wasn’t until the door was shut that Raegan realized she was weeping now. Her face was wet with tears. No matter how she sniffed and wiped her eyes, tears just kept coming.
She cried and then began to laugh crazily.
It was as if God meant to make her suffer. When she was a child, people always teased and bullied her because she was an orphan. She couldn’t think of any mean thing that her peers didn’t do to her.
Was it throwing away her raincoat on a rainy day? Or hiding her shoes so she had to walk barefoot in the snow? Name it!
