Can She Still Trust Him In the next two days, Mitchel stayed in the hospital with Raegan.
He worked in Raegan's ward so he could personally take care of her.
The VIP ward was no different from a hotel room.
It was equipped with everything, so he had no problem handling official matters.
Raegan was not used to it, but she found it difficult to refuse.
After all, Mitchel didn't complain about anything.
She feared it would make her seem overly presumptuous.
At noon, Raegan had no appetite, so she didn't eat much.
The rain was still a steady downpour outside, and her mood had already been affected.
In times like this, she would usually feel a little depressed.
She put down her spoon and fork and picked up her phone.
She logged in to her social media account and checked some posts.
Then she came across a post that said, "Missing the five-dollar pizza in the alley near the international school.” That pizza was
part of Raegan’s student life.
Since it was very affordable, Raegan used to go to that pizza store every morning and afternoon to eat.
The old lady who ran the place liked Raegan very much, so she was especially kind to Raegan.
Every time, she would add free eggs or chicken to Raegan's pizza.
Raegan was very grateful to that old lady.
She even thought that if it weren't for those eggs and chicken the old lady gave her, she probably wouldn't have grown to her
current height of 5.5 feet.
Perhaps pregnant women were really finicky eaters.
Suddenly, she had an intense craving for that pizza.
But unfortunately, that old lady had retired due to her age.
She was no longer making and selling that pizza.
Since Raegan graduated from university, she never had that pizza again.
She liked this post so much that she gave it a thumbs up.
After browsing for a while, she raised her eyes and looked at Mitchel, who was busy working at the side.
The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up, revealing his firm and muscular arms.
His elbow rested on the armrest, and he propped his chin against his long and slender fingers while his eyes were fixed on the
laptop screen.
Such a scene was very eye-catching.
It was said that men radiated a special charm when they were working.
While looking at Mitchel right now, Raegan could agree to it.
At this moment, Mitchel picked up his phone and browsed through it.
Raegan withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and continued browsing her phone.
Suddenly, Mitchel came over and took her phone.
He put it aside and gently touched her head.
"Pregnant women should not use phones so much." Then he took his coat from the back of the chair and put it on.
"Get some sleep first.
I'll just go out for a while.” Raegan didn't say anything.
When Mitchel went out, she listened to the spatter of rain on the windowsill and gradually fell asleep.
Suddenly, there was a crash of thunder.
The rumbling sound woke Raegan up.
When she looked out of the window, she found that it was already dark.
She didn't expect that the rain wouldn't stop.
Instead, the lightning and thunder had become more intense.
She looked in the direction of the desk out of habit.
Mitchel wasn't there.
Raegan subconsciously reproached herself.
It had only been two days.
Had her decision to stop loving him already been swayed by him? Mitchel might have gone to see Lauren.
When he said that he would send Lauren abroad, he probably just lied to coax her to give birth to the baby.
Perhaps in his eyes, she was really that naive and gullible.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Then, a tall and straight figure walked in and turned on the lights.
Mitchel put something on the table, loosened his tie, and said, "Come here.” Raegan was stunned.
Mitchel knocked on the table to catch her attention.
"What are you thinking? Come here.
Let's have dinner.” Actually, she really had no appetite yet.
But when she thought that he came here so late just to bring her dinner, she reluctantly got up and moved to the table.
She opened the food box, only to be stunned again.
Inside the food box were pizzas.
On top of them were eggs and chicken.
They looked very familiar to her.
They were exactly the same pizzas, eggs, and chicken she used to eat in that pizza store near her school.
How could this be? Was it just a coincidence? How did he know she craved pizza? Raegan raised her head and looked at
Mitchel.
It was only then that she noticed that his suit was soaking wet.
There were even droplets of water at the tip of his hair.
His current disheveled look was the total opposite of his usual elegant and well-groomed appearance.
Mitchel took off his coat and tossed it into the laundry basket.
Then he started unbuttoning his.
shirt.
Suddenly, he looked at Raegan and raised an eyebrow.
"Do I look good?" Raegan's face flushed at once.
She snapped, "Who's looking at you?" Mitchel didn't retort.
He threw his shirt into the laundry basket and said, "You can admire my looks all you want later.
For now, let's fill our empty stomachs first.” Raegan was rendered speechless.
She didn't expect him to be so narcissistic.
She lowered her head and cautiously took a bite of the pizza.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
The taste was exactly the same.
It was still as delicious as before.
She couldn't help raising her head.
"Did you..." Her voice trailed off.
Raegan's eyes widened in disbelief.
She didn't expect Mitchel to take off even his pants, leaving only a pair of boxer shorts on his body.
Mitchel heard that she seemed to be saying something, so he turned around.
His chiseled handsome face was clearly visible.
"What?" Raegan was at a loss for words.
She felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole and hide.
Seeing Raegan kept silent, Mitchel walked closer to her and asked seriously, "What did you say just nowe" At this moment,
Raegan's eyes traveled from his defined abdominal muscles down to his strong thigh muscles and that unique part of him.
Suddenly, she felt her ears burning.
It took her a while to regain her composure.
Finally, she found her voice.
She stammered, "You...
Can't you undress yourself in the bathroom?" "Okay," Mitchel agreed without hesitation.
He was not displeased at all.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came out of the bathroom, he was only in his bathrobe.
Raegan had already cleaned up the table.
When she looked at him and saw the open neckline of his bathrobe, her face felt hot.
She felt so flustered that she avoided his questioning eyes and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When she came out, Mitchel was already lying on the bed, reading a financial magazine.
These past two nights, they went to bed at the designated time and slept peacefully.
He had not made any advances.
But tonight, Raegan didn't want to go to bed with him.
She had a feeling that something was about to happen.
"What's wrong? Why are you hesitating?" Mitchel asked, putting down the magazine and looking at her.
"Nothing..." Raegan had no choice.
However, Mitchel pulled her closer to him and wrapped his arms around her.
In an instant, she was enveloped in his overpowering hormonal aura.
Raegan's heart tightened, and her body stiffened.
She refused, "Mitchel..." Mitchel read her mind and said bluntly, “If you don't want to, it’s okay.
I won't force you." His words made her face even redder.
Finally, she voiced the question she longed to ask, "How did you know about that pizza?" With half-closed eyes, Mitchel replied,
“A little bird told me." But he was actually lying.
The truth was he saw the post she liked on social media.
And since he noticed she didn't have the appetite, he went to find her favorite pizza store, without knowing it had been closed
down already.
The alleys in that area were very narrow, so cars couldn't get in.
He couldn't even open an umbrella.Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
So, in the end, he searched for three hours in the pouring rain and howling wind.
Fortunately, he saw the old woman, and she granted his request to make him a pizza.
On his way back, he kept asking himself why he did such a thing.
He was sure he did it not because he wanted to make it up to Raegan or because he was guilty.
It was simply because he wanted to make her happy.
He missed her happy face.
It had been a long time since he last saw it.
At this moment, the lights were off, and the ward became pitch dark.
Mitchel's soft lips pressed against Raegan's earlobe.
He whispered tenderly, "Sleep early.
We'll go home together tomorrow.” Raegan felt her heart lost its rhythm.
She thought it was probably because the pizzas tonight were too heart-warming.
However, there was one question in her mind.
Could she still trust him? The next day, they woke up early and had breakfast together.
Then, Mitchel went to the company to deal with some business matters.
The doctor agreed to discharge Raegan after lunch.
Raegan hadn't put much faith in his promise that they would go home together.
But when she finished packing, the door opened, and Mitchel came in.
He took her bag from her without saying a word and carried her in his arms effortlessly.
"Mitchel, what are you doing?” Raegan felt so uneasy that she struggled hard..
"The doctor said you shouldn't walk too much," Mitchel said naturally, locking his arms around her waist.
He looked at her, hinting at her to hold onto him.
Too many people were coming and going to the hospital.
Raegan was so shy that she buried her head against his chest.
She had no choice but to hug him tightly.
Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind.
She said nervously, “Wait! Since the doctor said that, does it mean something is wrong with the baby?” Mitchel hesitated for a
moment.
Then he finally confessed, “Actually, the doctor didn't say it.
I only want to hug you." Raegan raised her head and looked at him in astonishment.
She found his words hard to believe because Mitchel wasn’t known for being romantic.
Sure enough, she noticed a hint of uneasiness on his handsome face.
At this moment, it was like her heart melted in honey.
She felt sweet and warm.
She suddenly buried her head against his chest again, not wanting him to see the silly expression on her face.
Mitchel only put Raegan down when they were already in front of the car.
He opened the passenger seat door, picked her up again, and let her sit.
When he reached out to fasten the seat belt for her, her sweet fragrance penetrated his nostrils.
Suddenly, Mitchel reached out, held her chin, and kissed her gently.
It was indeed sweet and fragrant.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes.
But it seemed that Mitchel couldn't be satisfied.
He leaned over and continued kissing her.
When their lips finally parted, they were both out of breath.
Raegan's face was red as cherries.
She didn't dare to look into his eyes.
Mitchel was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
He quickly pressed the answer button, and Lauren's heart-wrenching cry came from the other end of the line.
"Mitchel, I was kidnapped!"
