A grave ambiance hung heavy in the bar.
Seated at the bar, the three men engaged in a silent bout of heavy drinking.
After the initial round, Luis seamlessly initiated the second round without a pause.
Observing Mitchel downing one glass of alcohol after another, Luis was confused. He finally spoke up, his voice tinged with surprise.
“What’s eating you?”
However, Mitchel remained silent, his countenance as frigid as ice.
“Isn’t it a reason to celebrate now that Raegan’s back? Why the long face?” Luis inquired, his curiosity piqued.
At that moment, Mitchel abruptly asked, “Is it possible for a woman’s pregnancy to last for two years?”
A sudden clink of glass on the table resonated through the air.
Luis burst into laughter at his words. “Now that’s defying common sense, isn’t it? You know, I once heard of this woman who didn’t give birth until eleven months into her pregnancy, and that’s already an exceptionally rare case. Now, you’re pondering if it’s even possible for a woman to carry a fetus for two years. Are you losing your marbles?”
Mitchel felt disheartened after hearing Luis’ words. Overwhelmed, he grasped the glass and downed its contents without uttering a word.
“Have you seen Raegan’s child?” Luis asked, sensing something.

Mitchel nodded stoically.
Luis nonchalantly inquired, “So, who does the little one take after?”
Upon Luis’ query, Mitchel reminisced thoughtfully. Janey possessed round eyes, long eyelashes, and an oval face, bearing a striking resemblance to Raegan, especially when she smiled.
“I’d say she takes after Raegan more,” Mitchel finally replied.
As for Kabir, Mitchel had investigated, even laying eyes on Kabir’s photograph. Although reluctant to admit it, Kabir bore a faint resemblance to Raegan, leaving Mitchel uncertain about whether Janey took after Raegan or Kabir. However, in his view, Janey’s appearance leaned more toward Raegan’s.
Out of the blue, Jarrod interjected, “Have you ever considered the possibility that the little girl might be yours?”
If Raegan could miraculously survive after that car incident, then it was within the realm of possibility that Janey belonged to Mitchel.
Hearing that, Mitchel felt a twinge of irritation and took a sip

of his wine. Naturally, he had harbored doubts and conducted a thorough investigation concerning the paternity of Janey.
Following Erick’s mention of Janey’s biological father, Mitchel had already delved into the matter. He had seen Janey’s birth certificate, scrutinized the hospital’s medical records, and even reviewed the video footage from the delivery. All the evidence appeared crystal clear and indisputable.
Following Raegan’s tragic incident, Mitchel had finally come to the undeniable conclusion that the baby in Raegan’s belly couldn’t possibly be Henley’s. Henley had always been wickedly cunning. Those words might have been designed to haunt him for the rest of his life.
Yet, there had never been enough time to discuss many things with Raegan. She had simply vanished out of the blue after that car incident.
Judging by Mitchel’s expression, Luis could tell that Mitchel must have conducted an investigation. Reclining on the sofa, he remarked, “If you’ve already uncovered the truth, why resist the divorce? What are your intentions regarding the little one?”
