Raegan was speechless, suppressing her urge to cry.
She refused to let tears fall in front of Mitchel.
Meanwhile, Mitchel glanced outside, watching Henley being loaded into an ambulance.
Then, he started the car, driving off swiftly into the night until it was just a speck in the darkness.
Soon, they arrived at Serenity Villas.
Raegan, looking at the once familiar place, nervously uttered, “I want to go home.”
Mitchel turned to her, his voice devoid of emotion. “You are at home,” he stated flatly, his piercing gaze intimidating her.
Raegan tried again, “Mitchel, may I please go back on my own?”
Mitchel remained silent, his eyes icy and unyielding.

Mitchel’s eyes grew darker. “Are you certain there’s nothing you’re hiding from me?”
Raegan remained silent, her lips pressed tightly together.
Mitchel’s fists clenched, visibly trying to control his emotions.

The baby? Raegan was pregnant with Henley’s baby? Henley pleaded with him to look after his baby?
Mitchel’s heart hardened as he looked at Raegan, who was feigning calmness.
