Raegan was at a loss for words. No wonder Mitchel had warned her about Luciana. Luciana really seemed to be battling her own imagined threats.
Just then, Katie stepped up, trying to play the bigger person. “It’s okay, Luciana. I’m not hurt.”
Katie’s tone when she called Luciana had shifted, annoying Raegan enough to walk away.
But Katie wasn’t about to let Raegan leave that easily. She stepped in front of Raegan, showcasing her pregnant belly, and announced, “Raegan, I’m pregnant!”
Raegan almost burst out laughing. So Katie thought she hadn’t noticed…
With a smile, she responded, “Congratulations, Miss Glyn. But are you married? I haven’t heard anything.”
Katie’s complexion went ashen at the remark.
Raegan’s sarcastic words were a ploy to shame Katie for getting pregnant before marriage.
Spasms of anger rushed through Katie, but dissipated immediately. She had thought she could easily manipulate Raegan judging by the latter’s soft demeanor.
But to Katie’s surprise, Raegan was sharp enough to come up with such a reply.
Katie was fuming with indignation. If only Raegan knew who was responsible for her pregnancy, would Raegan have reasons to mock her still? She composed herself quickly. Gently caressing her belly, she said, “This child belongs to Mitchel.”
“Oh? Has he acknowledged it?” Raegan replied with a wry smile.
Raegan’s response swept Katie off her feet. Such composure from Raegan was completely unexpected. “And what is that supposed to mean?”
Katie frowned.
Raegan was mad at Mitchel for hiding Katie’s pregnancy from her, but she wasn’t dumb. Mitchel couldn’t possibly like Katie. He would have taken Katie in to live with him if he did. Why did he wait for her return to begin a relationship with Katie? It was Likely Katie maneuvered her way to get this child. And whether Katie’s child was really Mitchel’s was still up for debate.

lationship with Mitchel aside work. Have you done a paternity test? How sure are you that Mitchel is responsible?”
Raegan calmly said.
Katie’s face turned red with anger at the barrage of questions thrown at her. She clenched her fist in fury, trying to contain her anger.
Her intention was to belittle Raegan, but the table seemed to have turned. How infuriating!
Onlookers who had been attracted by their conversation began whispering amongst themselves. It was not just a juicy story about pregnancy out of wedlock. It was a scandal.
Luciana became defensive of Katie. She angrily pointed her index finger at Raegan’s face. “Katie is my son’s fiancee and had been accepted by the Dixon family. The child in her womb belongs to Dixon family. Wedding arrangements have been made. Tell me, who are you to meddle in our family affairs?”
Raegan had become completely indifferent to Luciana. She had completely erased every ounce of affection she once had for Luciana after Luciana slapped her the last time they met.
“Had your ‘daughter-in-law’ not been in my way, would I be having this conversation?” Raegan retorted with her eyebrows raised. She scoffed. “She started it first. Normally, I don’t interfere in people’s ‘family affairs’.”
Raegan made her stance clear. She wouldn’t involve herself in people’s lives unless they provoked her first. If anyone chose to annoy her, she certainly wouldn’t hesitate to face the person head on.
