“What?”
Nicole looked equally puzzled.
“Aren’t these dishes worth over ten thousand? We don’t need to be so extravagant. Your cooking is just as good, if not better.”
Upon hearing this, Raegan was baffled.
If Nicole was not the one who had ordered the takeout, then it must have been Mitchel.
Was this his way of saying goodbye?
Did this mean he would keep his promise and leave her alone?

The following week passed peacefully for Raegan.
Bryce attended his four weekly classes without incident. Though uninterested, he refrained from acting out.
However, Raegan had a feeling that he had yet to do something bad.
For some reason, she felt he was waiting to strike a decisive blow on Friday.
On Thursday, Raegan was available, and Nicole asked her out to go shopping.
While the two of them enjoyed ice cream at a dessert shop, Nicole, whose attention was on her phone, suddenly gasped and exclaimed, “Damn it! That bastard Mitchel is about to step into a marriage of convenience?”
Marriage of convenience? Mitchel?
Raegan choked on her ice cream and coughed uncontrollably.
Nicole soothed Raegan’s back and remarked, “That bastard Mitchel, he’s barely divorced, and he’s already with the Benton family’s eldest daughter every day! Good thing you left him. With Lauren gone and Eloise in the picture, he’s not short of options.”
Raegan had calmed down, but her sadness surfaced upon hearing the news.
In just a week, Mitchel had announced his marriage. Well, what mattered was that he was upholding his promise of not intruding on her life anymore.

Noticing Raegan’s somber demeanor and ashen face, Nicole worriedly asked, “Raegan, are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I just choked on the ice cream,” Raegan assured her. In an instant, her expression returned to normal as if nothing had happened.
But Nicole wasn’t convinced. She clung to Raegan’s arm and suggested, “Let’s go shopping for some nice clothes and have a good time.”
As they engaged in conversation, they entered a boutique.
Nicole instantly picked out a dark green cashmere overcoat and a white dress from the display. She handed them to Raegan and urged, “Try these on.”
Just by looking at the fabric, Raegan could tell they were expensive.
