Their eyes met as Mitchel stepped out of the car.
Raegan was unaware that Mitchel had spent the entire night there. She assumed he had come to bother her again, which slightly irritated her.
The clear distaste on her face deeply saddened Mitchel. “I need to talk to you, Raegan.” His voice sounded rough from smoking.
Mitchel seemed somewhat different from his assertive demeanor the previous day.
Furrowing her brow, Raegan stepped back. “Mr. Dixon, I’m sorry. I have to get to the office now.”
Even knowing it was Raegan’s instinct to reject him, Mitchel felt his heart was stabbed again. And it was incredibly painful.
“Alright. Just one question, though. Is there something between you and that guy? Are you…”
“Absolutely not,” Raegan replied firmly. She had been so upset yesterday that she let Mitchel misinterpret her relationship with Stefan. Now, clearer-headed, Raegan didn’t want to cause Stefan any trouble.
Besides, Raegan had made herself clear. Even if she wasn’t seeing anyone, Mitchel wasn’t her choice.
Having said that, Raegan didn’t linger with Mitchel. She turned and headed for her car.
Watching her leave, Mitchel inhaled deeply and struggled to say, “Raegan, I agree to the divorce.”
Mitchel’s words instantly grabbed Raegan’s attention. She turned to him with surprise and asked, “Are you being serious?” Her eyes practically radiated joy.
Mitchel nodded, a touch of bitterness creeping into his gaze.
Raegan hadn’t anticipated such good news so early in the morning. She exclaimed happily, “Hold on a moment.” Realizing she had forgotten her ID card, she retraced her steps to retrieve it.

Upon returning, her brisk stride and cheerful demeanor showed her sense of relief.
Mitchel watched this scene with a pang in his heart.
Lately, he had been experiencing intermittent heartaches, which seemed beyond his control. He couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong with his heart, although his recent medical examination had declared him in good health.
As Raegan reappeared with her ID card, Mitchel’s expression darkened.

He loosened his tie, trying to alleviate a sudden breathlessness, and his tone took on a somber note. “As for the divorce, I have two conditions,” Mitchel stated.
Raegan’s smile faltered momentarily, and she responded angrily, “You’re kidding me, right?”
Mitchel maintained a stoic expression and replied, “As long as you agree to my conditions, I will keep my word and proceed to the court with you immediately.”
Impatiently, Raegan inquired, “What are your conditions then?”
Mitchel continued, “First, don’t cut off contact with me after the divorce. Second, promise me that you won’t remarry within the next six months.”
“That’s all?” Raegan was slightly taken aback.
