Then, Raegan brought up another concern. “Mitchel, have you noticed your mother seems a bit off lately?”
Mitchel knitted his brows, admitting, “Yeah, she’s been unusually clingy to Katie these past few years. I’ve tried discussing it with her, but she doesn’t want to hear it.”
Recalling her few encounters with Luciana, Raegan remembered Luciana’s unhealthy appearance, the type that hinted at mental fatigue. To be frank, Luciana looked as though her soul had left her, utterly devoid of Life.
Considering Luciana was only in her fifties this year, Raegan wondered why Luciana appeared so much older than her peers. She then inquired, “Has Luciana been dealing with any health problems?”
Mitchel shook his head. “All her tests came back normal.”
“Take a look at this,” Raegan said. She took a square-shaped medicine box out of her bag and handed it to Mitchel. “I found this in the mall today, and I’m not sure if it’s Luciana’s.”
Katie and Luciana were the first to leave today. The medicine box was found on the ground where they had been, and it was gold-plated, which ruled out it being an assistant’s.
Upon closer inspection, Raegan noticed a faint initial on it.
This made it unclear whether the box was Katie’s or Luciana’s.
But the gold-plated design, not typically favored by the younger crowd, suggested it might belong to Luciana.

On their way back, Mitchel wrapped his arms around Raegan, never letting go. He whispered, “I haven’t been able to sleep well these past few days. You’re all I think about, whether my eyes are open or closed.”
Raegan softly hummed. “I didn’t feel anything.”
If she hadn’t reached out to him today, he likely wouldn’t have made time for her at all. Even though they had resolved the misunderstanding, she still felt a little upset about how cold he had been toward her recently. She couldn’t help but sound a bit flirty.
Mitchel chuckled and gently held the back of her head to ki*s her.
“Mm…” Raegan caught her breath, suddenly pressed against the seat by him.
Mitchel ki*sed her passionately, as if claiming her.
Caught up in the moment, Raegan moaned softly.
Mitchel, slightly out of breath but smiling, asked, “How about now?”
Raegan’s cheeks turned a bright red. She whispered, “That’s not what I meant!”
Laughing heartily, Mitchel teasingly squeezed her, his voice growing deep. “I can make you feel in other ways, too.”
