Chapter 351 Mitchel's Teasing Mitchel gently guided Raegan's hand across his sculpted abs, letting her feel their firmness beneath his skin's warmth. The heat of his breath brushed against Raegan's face.
Mitchel didn't stop there but led her hand lower, tracing the lines of his Adonis belt toward a more private area...
Caught off guard, Raegan quickly came to her senses and pulled her hand back. Her cheeks flushed a deep red, spreading to her neck and ears. What was he making her touch? What a disgusting man! He was shameless, pervert and scumbag!
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, Raegan exclaimed, "You... Pervert!" In her agitation, she dropped her disguise and spoke in her true voice.
Mitchel, wearing a teasing smirk, responded, "You were looking so closely. I assumed you wanted to touch." "Who would want to touch, you disgusting pervert! I'll sue you for sexual harassment!" Mitchel, barely lifting his eyelids, quipped with a raised eyebrow, "Oh? Then, do I get to sue you for pretending to be a medic?" "You!" Raegan was caught off guard and visibly surprised. "How did you figure it out..." She couldn't pinpoint when he had
seen through her disguise. Judging by his tone, he knew the moment she entered. He made her feed him water, shared the same cup and even checked his wound. It turned out he was on purpose.
Mitchel gently lowered her mask and lightly pinched her cheek, gazing into her eyes. "You could hide in a turtle shell, and I'd still know it's you." His eyes sparkled with a playful light, clearly delighted to see her upon waking. Despite her efforts to move on, it was clear she hadn't, still clinging to her feelings for him. This realization made him visibly happier. His usually stern expression softened.
"You're the real turtle here! A soft- shelled turtle, that's what you are!" Raegan, feeling tricked, swatted his

"Please, don't go." Caught off guard, Raegan almost stumbled into his arms. She quickly pushed him away, accidentally touching a sensitive spot, which visibly changed his expression.
His attractive face lost color as he seemed to be in pain. Raegan was taken aback, her mind flashing back to the day he was severely wounded.
Her heart tightened, and she instinctively moved closer to try and fix his disheveled clothes. "Are you in pain? Do you need to get a doctor?" Facing her, Mitchel's robust chest was in full view. But her concern made her overlook it. "I think we need to get a doctor," she said with a grave look.
As she tried to stand, Mitchel drew her back into a gentle embrace. "I'm not in pain," he whispered, his voice deep and enticing. "Your concern makes me forget all discomfort." Raegan struggled to push him away, careful not to cause him any pain.
"Who said I'm concerned about you?" she retorted, irked by his assumption.
"Oh, if you're not concerned, may I just lean on you for a while?" He held her, finding a comforting warmth, a relief from all weariness.
Mitchel didn't just lean in. He wrapped her up in a full embrace. His breath on Raegan's neck sent tingles through her.
With each breath, she felt a surge of warmth. Raegan's cheeks turned a bright shade of red from embarrassment.
Then, suddenly, a knock at the door interrupted them. "Mr. Dixon, Miss Glyn is here." Raegan tensed up, the warmth she'd felt vanishing instantly.
Mitchel's expression turned into a slight frown as he pulled back a little, his eyes locked on her face, catching every subtle emotion.
Raegan's expression was icy, a wave of awkwardness washing over her. Erick was right. Getting involved with Mitchel was a mistake. Now, she was the one left feeling uncomfortable.
Raegan tried to pull away, her voice cold. "Could you let me go? It's not appropriate. You wouldn't want your fiancée to see us and get the wrong idea." Mitchel's brow furrowed in confusion.
Why did she mention the TE again? He had already made it clear to her that his relationship with Katie was over. j Mitchel's gaze darkened a bit. He didn't repeat the question but just looked at her. "So, your boyfriend isn't going to get the wrong idea about you visiting me?" Irritated, Raegan responded without thinking, "Boyfriend? What boyfriend?" As soon as she said it, she realized she had walked right into a trap. Believing that explaining further would only make things worse, she chose to remain silent.
A brief smile flashed across Mitchel's face, carrying a deeper meaning. He was convinced that if Raegan were to fall in love, she would do so with all
her heart and wouldn't have delayed it until now.
Based on what Matteo had found out, Raegan and Stefan had been acquainted for three years. The fact that they hadn't been together during those three years, and suddenly claiming to be a couple now, struck him as abrupt.
Mitchel wasn't familiar with Stefan, but he felt sure that Raegan was trying to fool him. It was unlikely for her to suddenly fall in love with someone she hadn't fallen for in three years.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a stern look, Raegan said, "I didn't come here for you. I'm here because my brother hit you, and out of concern for humanity, I wanted to check on you." Mitchel wasn't upset by her remark. He
adjusted her mask and replied with a faint smile, "It's fine to come out of concern, but I'm not letting you go just yet." Then, he called out to the door, "Come in." Katie walked in, holding a thermos, her presence both graceful and elegant. She noticed Mitchel's shirt was partly unbuttoned, showcasing his attractive collarbone, and she felt her cheeks warm up. "Mitchel, Matteo told me you ran into some trouble with a thug. How are you feeling?" she asked.
"It's nothing," Mitchel replied casually, his eyes drifting to Raegan, who was fiddling with her fingers, causing him to smile without realizing it.
Katie couldn't help but be captivated by his smile, so handsome and
charming. She offered warmly, "I've got some free time these days. How about I stay and look after you?" Mitchel's reply was brisk. "No need." His response felt cold to Katie, and she was glad no one familiar was around to witness it. Otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing.
Yet, Katie noticed Raegan under the disguise of a nurse standing quietly to the side. Though Raegan's face was not visible due to the mask, her silhouette was gentle and slender.
Katie's gaze returned to Mitchel, his bare chest adding to his casual allure.
She wondered if this nurse had been looking after Mitchel. It was unusual for him to let another woman be so close.
Katie felt a mix of suspicion and
annoyance. She pointed at Raegan and demanded, "You, get me a glass of water." Raegan didn't move or even look up.
Feeling ignored, Katie's frustration grew, feeling slighted not just by Mitchel but also by a nurse. Her voice turned sharp and a bit stern. "Didn't you hear me?"
