Hearing her come out, Mitchel turned around, staring at Raegan for several seconds.
Raegan felt uneasy under his gaze, her mind racing. If Mitchel brought up the idea of taking Janey away, how should she handle it?
Should she run away with her daughter, or…
Noticing Raegan’s hesitation, Mitchel stood still, giving her the chance to speak first.
It seemed like a lose-lose situation whether Raegan spoke up or remained silent.
Raegan finally broke the silence. “Mitchel, there might be a misunderstanding. Janey… She isn’t your daughter.”
Raegan had thought it through carefully. She realized she needed to create a diversion to escape with Janey. As long as Mitchel was unable to perform a paternity test, he couldn’t claim Janey as his.
Upon hearing Raegan, Mitchel’s face showed no emotion, pushing Raegan to clarify with more urgency.
“Kabir is Janey’s real dad. You can check the hospital and birth records if you want,” Raegan said confidently, trusting Erick’s arrangement. Erick must have covered his tracks well, ensuring there were no errors regarding Janey’s paternity in the records.
Raegan emphasized, “Trust me. Janey is not related to you in any way.”
Mitchel observed Raegan for a while and then let out a laugh.
“Raegan, do you really think I’m that easy to fool?”

Raegan’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes grew wide. Just as she was about to respond, she noticed him scrolling through his phone, the words “Paternity Test” clearly visible. He had anticipated Raegan’s denial and had Matteo speed up the testing process. The results came out within two hours.

Mitchel was intrigued to see how Raegan would dispute once the evidence was presented.
Raegan’s eyes shot open in surprise. “How did you…” Then, she realized her question was pointless and her thoughts had been too optimistic. How could she expect him to negotiate without having his facts straight?
“What are you planning to do?” Mitchel lifted his gaze, his piercing gaze fixing on Raegan, his voice deep and ominous. “So, you were planning to trick me and take off with Janey, were you?”
Raegan’s complexion went white in an instant. She hadn’t seen it coming that Mitchel would read her like an open book.
Seeing Raegan’s reaction, Mitchel knew he had guessed correctly. His handsome face stiffened in an instant, his throat became dry and his voice hoarse. “Raegan, you are really heartless.” Janey was their daughter. Yet, Raegan had planned to deny him even a simple visit.
When he accused her of being heartless, Raegan found her racing heart steadying. Heartless? Could she really outdo him in being heartless?
Raegan stared at his handsome face. Five years had slipped by, leaving him unchanged. He remained the epitome of grace and allure.
But now, as she looked at him with years of memories between them, everything felt different. The memories of the past sank in deeper, chilling her heart gradually. Her expression morphed from anxious to composed, then to complete detachment.
Raegan questioned flatly, “Mitchel, did you recall what happened to our first child?”
The question caused Mitchel’s dark eyes to narrow sharply. His heart seemed to halt for a split second. It made sense why Raegan woke up without asking about him or paying him a visit. It turned out she had reclaimed her memory.
Mitchel remained silent for a moment before starting slowly, “Raegan, Uooo™
